The year 1884 has gone into history. We're
the people of this time and place given to
Indulgence in retrospect good deal of at
tentiOn might probably be paid to the
events winch ara conspicuous in the annals
of the past tweivemonth-we might dwell
advantaseously upon the good that has
been done and the blessed influences that
know no calendar, or ponder over the evil
that has been wrought and be benefited by
wholesome thought thereon-but we have
hardly achieved that philosophical plane.
This Is the nation of today, yet not guiltless
of unscriptural but natural anxiety as to
tomorrow; tolerably careless though as to
anything much more remotely in the future
than the day almost in view. On occasions
that appeal to our patriotism we give ex-
preston to reverence for our national past
and we internationally do homage to the
memories OF the more prominent makers OF
q most glorious history, but when the
average is figured out 1t Is evident that the
crowd is intent upon things present. Inc
weakness Is not, however, OF the fatal sort;
it can be borne with something AKIN 10
eauanimity II there Is continuation OF the
general effort to make the present day not
able for some variety OF improvement
either Individual, municipal or national
The trend, it Is gratifying to note, Is IN the
right direction; what has been termed the
fad" for reform has become habit; peo-
Die now look with reasonable assurance for
conditions such as would twenty-five years
ago have been regarded as IDEAL Pessi-
mists may growEit is civilized mans ina

mental fact that the world is better today
than it ever was before. And 1t WILL De

non-absorbent and non-conducting. The
excess heat is allowed to pass away. but
20 other 1t Is better that there should
be too much warmth next to the skin than
not enough. But the odors that are ema-
mated from the pores as a part OF the re-
fuse Of the blood must not be retained
within or by the outer covering OF the
body. Therefore, the fact that wool IL not
capable Of absorbing odors Is a factor IN
its behalf. Mr.. Tomalin shows that the
atmosphere of the body must be replen-
ished just as Is the atmosphere of a
room. The vegetable fiber Is eager for all
odors. 1t stores them away as sponge
does moisture. There is a certain amount
of poison accumulated in the vegetable
cloth that Is not removed by the passage
of heat back and forth through the mate
rial. Another element of superiority is the
power of the animal fiber TO shed water.
This prevents the dampness Of the skin
that Is so injurious.
Yet 1t might appear that wool, being nom
absorbent, impervious to moisture. and
non-conducting of heat, would surround
the body with dense wall. through which
none of the skins emanations could escape.
This Is cured by the one element of the
wool-porosity. The moistures of the skin

surface and there evaporated. So with
the odors. Yet the character of the animal
fiber il such that the outer layers of the
wool material do not permit the water
from without to enter. shedding them read
lily as does the proverbil ducks back.
The demonstration of these opposite facts
claims that there is more comfort in wool
In all seasons. and at all hours. He argues
that there is more health and enjoyment
on summer nights under wooden blanket
than a linen sheet, for the same reasons
that there Is more health inside of wooden
clothes than those made Of vegetable fiber.

There are many persons in the
county now, trying to secure oil
leases. We believe no land owner
should refuse to lease his land for
this purpose, when he is convinced
he is dealing with the proper men.
Col. Harry E. SpiIn:an, the General
Manager of the Consumers Coal
and Mining Company at Camden
this county, whom everybody
knows, and who has the confidence
of all of our people for honesty and
integrity, is engaged in taking oil
leases, and is connected with a
strong company of capitalists, who
are getting the leases for developing
purposes, and not for the purpose
of trading or selling them. II
he can get a sufficient number OF
leases for this company, they will
cause a number of wells to be put
down in this county, and if there is
oil in this county his company will
develop it. Then, if you have
lands you will lease, we advise you
to see Col. Spilman and lease them
to him, and steer clear of the "wild
CATER" who only gets your lea.e to
hold and to speculate on, and who
will never put down well. Put
your lease in the hands of Col. Spill
man, whose company will put down
the wells as they agree to do.
