THE Gila Bend Leader thus ad- vised the young men of that aristo cratic town how to act on New Years day: It is not good form to make New Year calls in shirt sleeves, with pants tucked in boots, and with gun or jag on. Do. not drink from the decanter, use the glass. Never ask your hostess for chew of tobacco-she may have sworn off. Do not get full at the first calling place-there may be better goods luther along the line. Remember, above, all things, that you are a gentleman.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
a rents a piece of land Of Il for $50.
At the end OF the year a takes five bags
OF peanuts, supposed TO have been raised
on this land. and sells them TO c. who
is n peanut dealer. Il gets a distress
warrant TO recover the peanuts for rent
and goes to c to attach them. c admits
buying five bags of peanuts from a and
say they are in his (Cs) warehouse
amongst n quantity of others. and IL Il
can identify them makes no claim to
them, when satisfied that they were raised
on BIS land as c has not had them
thirty days. y claims he does not have
10 identify them, but can attach any five
bags OF peanuts which G may have in
his (C's) warehouse. G claims that iden
tihcatlon Is necessary. Which Is correct?
Peanuts are shipped under some mark the
same as cotton. YDMEG.
Assuming the peanuts TO have been pro-
duced on the land leased Of b by A, and
mingled with other bags in the ware
house of c. so that they could not be
distinguished from other bags of peanuts
In the warehouse, we believe that the
officers could distrain for Il upon any five
bags in the warehouse and would not be
obliged TO identify the bags bought by
A before he could distrain.

in lower-case letters? Webster's Interna-
tional Dictionary edition of 1894, pages
G. 1919, 1ll9. and 1922 show that capital
letters should be used. Have the news
papers any better authority to the con-
trary?
II sent an advertisement to the Dis
patch and the copy were accompanied by
a request to set these authorizations in

for lower-case letters. would the COM

There have been and probably
there are now persons living in the
lower part OF Henrico county who are
called Darby. but whose true name IS
Enroughty. The late Nathan Enroughty
was a man OF some note in that To-
ca,,ty, and was generally called Nathan,
or Nat Darby. How the name became
corrupted or changed Is not certainly
kncwn, but the following Is the most
probable explanations:
The records OF Henrico county snow
that In 1000 there was living In that
county near Four-Mile creek one Darby
Enroughty, who had been In the Colony
since about i65s. This Darby Enroushty
had several children. and among them

ATTENDANCE LESSENED.
The intense cold this season has Sc
riously interfered with the attendance In
the public schools; noticeably much more
so among the white than among the col
ored pupils Preparations are already be-
gun for the closing exercises OF the
short session, and, as usual, with more
enthusiasm on the part of the negroes,
who. in service or out. usually take part
in the school celebrations with the regu-
lar scholars. There Is something pa
