Address to Sections.

Bishop Huntington, of the Protestant
Episcopal church, has a word to say to
sections from which they may profit.
A great deal can be done for quietness
in churches by the sexton. The most
perfect sexton [ ever saw was an apostle
of silence His eye and ear and hand
were everywhere, and his genius for
forestalling and suppressing confusion
was wonderful, Before service he always
changed his boots for slippers. He
glided about the aisies as noislessly as a
ghost. He made BOOKKEEPING fine art.
Doors and windows were fixed so that
they would never be heard. He took
care that no sound should come from the
furnace or gas fixtures after the service
began. The fact was that this was not
a mere instinct of propriety or crafty
measure of success in his office; it was a
constant answer of his Believing and
humble heart to the solemn sentence.
"The Lord is in His holy temple" What
contrast to the clumsy, fussy, heavy
shod brother, in charge of the stoves in
a rural sanctuary / remember, who was
sure to start up two or three times in the
midst of prayers, sometimes when the
preacher was doing his best tog get or hold
the attention of his hearers, march
around from his seat to the fire, swing
open stridulous stove door, punch the
sticks with poker, and toss in an addi-
tional supply of fuel, giving an another
shrill screech from the hinges as finale

Natural Selection.

Investigators of natural science have
demonstrated beyond controversy, that
throughout the animal kingdom the ''sur
vival of the fttest" is the only law that
vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity. Does not
the same principle govern the commercial
prosperity of man? An inferior cannot
supersede superior article. Illustrative OF
this principle are the family medicines OF
r. V. Pierce, NJ. ID of Buffalo, n. Y. By
reason OF superior merit, they have out
rlvaled all other medicines. Their sale in
the United States alone exceeds one million
dollars per annum, while sthe amount ex
ported foots up to several hundred thousand
more. No business could grow to such
gigantic proportions and rest upon any other
basis than that of merit. 1t is safe to say
that no medicine or combination of medi
cines yet discovered equals or can compare
with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of coughs, colds, and all pull
monary and blood affections. If the bowels
be eonstipated and liver sluggish, his Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets will give prompt re
lief; while his Favorite Prescription will
positively, perfectly, and permanently, cure
those weaknesses and dragging down
sensations peculiar to females. In the
Peoples Common sense Medical Adviser, an
illustrated work of nearly one thousand
pages, the doctor has fully discussed the
principles that underlie health and sickness

SvnmeS, Theory

Symmes' Hole is heard from once again.
Mr.. Americas Symmes, a son of the late
Capt. John Cleves Symmes, United States
Army, who stoutly maintained that the
earth is hollow, opened at the poles and
capable of being inhabited within, and
who wrote in advocacy of his theory a
large book on "Concentric Sheres," has
petitiOned congress to let either himself
or one OF his sons accompany the How
gate expedition to the North Pole. Our
readers may have forgotten that Symmes
claimed that the indications of vegetation
met with in high ATTITUDES by Arctic ex-
plorers are complete proof of the theory
he advocated; for unless there was some
sheltered place within the crust of the
earth he says that is certain the plants
found on icebergs and elsewhere never
could have grown. Mr.. Americas
Symmes is very enthusiastic IN his belief
that a pleasanter place to live can be
found within the earth than on its sur
face, but like many other men struggling
with great ideas he is to an extent inco-
herent in explaining the reason by which
he arrives at conclusions. Capt. Symmes
the originator of the theory, was
born in New-Jersey in 1850 and died in
Butler county, Ohio, in 1929, and was
buried there. He was very much laugh
ed at for his theory; but ridicule never
shook him in his belief and he made
many efforts to secure money to fit out
an expedition to verify his assertions.

A Three-Eyed Bow in Ohio.

The Dayton Journal prints letter
from New Bremen, o., which says:
"Quite wonder has lately made its APP
pearance, about eight miles north of
New Bremen, in the shape of fine boy
with three eyes and but one ear. The
parents are young married couple who
came here to reside from the eastern por-
ton of Auglaize county about ten
months ago, and have been married a
little more than that period. The child is
about two weeks old. The parents were
astounded to find on the right side of the
face an eye and an ear in their proper
natural positions, and on the left side of
the face another eye in its natural posi-
ton, and about an inch further around
on the left side of the head third eye
all perfect in form, but no ear where the
ear ought to be, the place for the left ear
being perfectly smooth and solid as any
other part of the head. The boy is
healthy, sound, and bright as a boy-baby
can be. The eyes are perfect in sight
and action. When the eye on the left
side of the face opens or shuts, its twin
does the same, both seeming to be con-
trolled and operated by the one set of
nerves."

MY SOLDIER.
BY ALFRED STREET.

The day still fingers though the sun is down,
Kissing the earth, and 10th to say good-by;
While cight impatient, shows her starry crown
Just glinting through the curtains of the sky.
I sit within the door and tryto knit;
Some sadness of the sky provokes my tears;
And memory finds some subtle charnt in il
To lead me back through melancholy years.
Until she brings me to that summers day,
When tall shadow fell across the floor
fingered moment and then stole away
Following my soldier through the open door.
My soldierl He was all the war to me.
His safety all the victory craved:
Morn, noon and night prayed that might see
My SOLDIER forget my country-saved.
When came letter full of love and cheer.
Telling OF victory with proud delight
Inc mother's pride o. ercame the mothers fear,
And was happy in my dreams that night.
But when none came and news of battles fell
Around me like hot fakes of fire instead
God if fhave loved my boy to WE'LL
Put against that those days of awful dread
Ny soldier! And it seems but yesterday
HIS baby gums were mumblng at my breast.
m half persuaded now he's out at play,
Ans have slept within and dreamt the rest;
For it does seem so strange to me that he
My baby, my rosy-cheeFed and azure-eyed-
The cherub boy handled on my knee
Should have become hero and have died.
My chubby baby, prattling to his toysl
Ny stalwart sol Ter kissing me good-byi
My heart will have ii she hath lost two bows
And lends to grief two-fold agony
And day by day, as the dear form | miss
Fierce longing burns within me like a flame
Till all the world I'd barter for kiss
And walk through fire to hear him call NV name
Twere not so bad could l have watched his face
Soothed his last hours, and closed his dear dead
eyes;
And it would comfort me to mark the place
With wild Iose-bush where my darling lies
But, knowing nothing, save that he is dead,
long meath yonder daisy dotted knoll
To rest in peace my old, grief-whitened head
Earth nath no crlmb OF comfort for my SOUL

one-fourth for corn, and one-twelfth to
one-tenth for wheat and other small
grains. In addition TO this shrinkage
there is the loss by the depreciation of
vermin, and that of interest on the value
until the grain is sold. The whole
amount of loss is serious item, but one
that rarely enters into the farmer calcu-
lation when he determines to hold over
his grain until the spring, or next sum-
mer, for an advance of few cents a.
bushel. Instead of gaining by this, .ie
very often loses, and the loss may easily
be figured up to from one-sixth to one
fourth of the crop, or its value, when
harvested

In barber shop discussion recently
one of the disputants said: " | am get
ting tired of this eternal harping about
the finer sensibilities and virtues of
women-they are not bit ahead of the
men. Take a common instance, charity,
we'll say. When mans generosity is
touched in the right spot. he shoves his
hand down into his breeches pocket and
gives aims. Does woman ever do that ?
No, sir, never" and with triumphant,
self-satistied air, he put on his hat and
went out, leaving the other party crush
ed and dazed. -Breaktast Table.

cheapest, both in purse and health.

amount of the yield, as well as in the
number and improvement of varieties.
In fact, it may be safely assumed that,
in spite of the fears of many in regard
to the ravages of the beetle, this crop
will still show yield at the next CEN
sus of over 200, 900, 600 bushels.
The most profit from a sheep is to
raise lamb that will sell for more than
the mother is worth. This can be easily
done by caring well Cor the earliest
lambs A lamb, 90 days old and well
fattened, will often sell Tor SO in the
cities, and half that in country villages.
A half-breed Cotswold lamb, fed now
with little mixed outmeal and bran,
and sucked by native eve, will make
an excellent market lamb. Lambs now
being fed should be protected from cold
storms, and the ewes should have some
extra feed.
Now, with hard work, teams REQUIRE
good care. Horses will come from the
field in much better condition if they
are protected from worry by the flies.
The best protection is a thin sheet made
to fit the neck, with holes for the ears,
and to buckle under the throat, and to
cover the back, hanging loosely at the
sides to give access of air beneath. 1t
should be held by crupper band be-
meath the tail. Too much corn fed now
is apt to produce irritation of the skin,
and to make the animals restless. Clean
illness will be found great comfort to
them.

SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Bill Lee, alias Theodore Wanzer, the
Supposed Criminal, in Jail.

Bill Lee. alias Theodore Wanzer,
was arrested by Officers RaiDey and
Porter last Saturday, suspected of
having murdered a u. 5. Revenue
officer in South Alabama last June
About the middle of September last
he married Della Banks near Ope-
lika, and arrived in Pulaski about
the 9th of Octr, accompanied by
his wife. They stopped at the
boarding house OF Mrs. Morris, rep
resenting themselves as being just
from Nashville. Being destitute of
funds, Mrs. Lee engaged to cook for
Mrs. Morris, and was discharging
that duty to the entire satisfaction
of all, when suddenly, at suppertime
on Friday last Capt. Overton, rev.
enue detective, happened in upon
the scene. He at once suspected
Lee, and Lee evidently suspected
him, for he Immediately decamped,
leaving by the back door and max
ing a hurried exit from town. The
next morning his wife returned to
get her clothing, and was followed
to her husbands retreat, where the
arrest was made without resistance.
He is now in Jail awaiting further

Parker'S Store.

We are panied to announce the
death of Mr.. Sam1 Taught, which
occurred at his residence on little
Dry Creek Oct. 18th at II o'clock,
In the seth year of his age. He was
horn January, 1922, within a few
hundred J ards of the scene of his
death. He spent the early part of
his. active life on Big Creek, con
nected a great deal OF the time with
Mr.. Jas. Parsons in the milling
business. Afterwards he acted IN
the same capacity on his own
responsibility, giving eminent salts
faction in every locality where he
labored as a miller" or his po-
litical bent of mind during the war
l have nothing to say more than it
was his own prerogatlve, and doing
harm to no one entities his ashes to
rest in peace. All men have their
peculiar notions and passions, and
if men live TO their peculiar gratifi-
cation, the BAH should be thrown
into the grave of oblivion and the
good deeds held up before the world
as examples for good. He passed
away In peaceful triumph, and drank
deep at the fountain of the Chris
tian's hope, and raised his feeble
arms in token that the last victory
was won and that soon his spirit
would gather with the saints on the
other shore. Thanks are due his
friends for their many acts of kind
ness DURING his sickness, for which
his family will always hold them in
high esteem.
Mr.. ID. A. Inmon of Town Creek,
Ala, came up a few days ago for
his family, who had been spending
some time in this section. We were
glad to see his beaming face again.
He stood the plague like a man, and
came out safe and sound. His
charming daughter Ella will remain
to grace our section until the holt
days. Miss Fannie Parker is visit
ing Columbia for a month. Hope
she will enjoy herself among her
friends and relatives, and our loss
will be her gain, but come back
heart whole and fancy free, Miss
Fannie, if you can.

ator will pardon the intrusion of
trespassing on their province, and
being slightly affected with '-cacoe-

and general items.
Both Conference and Presbytery
were very clever indeed to us this
year in sending Rev. j B. Anderson
to take charge of the Methodist and
Rev. j. NJ, Ashford of the Cumber
land Presb, terian church. Both are
men of fine ability, clear, logical
and accurate reasoners and persua7
sive powers of Oratory. In such
hands the churches will prosper.
On the 1st inst. we had the pleas
ure of hearing Capts. Ewing and
Lester and DR.. Harwell, our demo
cratic standard bearers, each deliver
a very fine speech at this place.
Every body is satisfied that such an
other trio of true worth, scholarly
attainments and lofty patriotism
could not be found in the whole
county. Excuse me, Capt. E. and
Dr. H., for speaking individually of
Capt. Lester. 1t is the first time
that L have heard him speak since
the dark days of civile 6elluns. He
will carry the banner of democracy
on to victory with the same majes-
tic step that he carried another flag
from Donaldson to Bentonville with
out one spot on his bright escutch
con, and when in January next he
takes his seat with the Solons in the
council of the commonwealth, he
will defend our interests and bur
honor with the same grand heroism
with which he battled for our lib
erty on Chicamauga's field.
Prof Cobb commences a writing
school here to-day. He is a first

gress as far as heard from. In
Williamson with three districts to
hear from Whitthorne had 1884
Moore 933. Hughes SAB. The re.

thorne's majority. Maury, official.

thorne 1,169, Moore 1852, Hughes
$40. Total in the three cou6tie-
named, Whitthorne 5,4IS, Moore

majority over Moore 2,I79; over

believed Moore will have a ma
jority of 3 or 4 hundred in Law
renee and probably 1000 or l 200 in

probably carry Wayne. To sum it
all up Whitthorne is the Congress
