The lawyer was in doubt when he

The lawyer was in doubt when he
entered the house. He didn't like
divorce business anyway, and such
peremptory summons from both
husband and wife indicated some
thing Of that nature.
They were sitting on either side
of the room glaring at each other
when he entered, and he naturally
felt more than ever convinced that
the question of alimony would enter
largely into their deliberations.
II regret, he said slowly and i'm
pressively, 'to find such evidences
of estrangement. There is nothing
in the line of legal practice that l
take with greater reluctance than l
do divorce cases"
"Divorcei'' exclaimed the wife
Indignantly.
divorce nothing!" roared the
husband. "Who said anything
about divorce?'
II most humbly crave your par
don," said the lawyer, realizing
that he had made serious mistake.
From your positions, your looks
and the pe1emptory nature of the
summons I took it for granted that
a separation of some sort was in
prospect. am more than g1atitied
to find that was mistaken, and ]

commission that you may have for

Oxnard Sugar Factory in Which Roscoe Es-
sington is Employed.


Roscoe Essington has lately moved
to the city of Oxnard, Ventura,
county, California, where he is work
ing in an immense beet sugar factory.
He sent his father, Mr.. T. j. Essiug-
ton, paper describing the factory,
from which we are permitted TO
make an extract:
:: Beets are delivered at this factory
into what is called the beet shed.
structure 800 feet long and 100 feet
wide which has three bins running
the entire length and which have a
combined capacity 100000 tons. The
bins are V-shaped and under each a
powerful flood of water flows through
an open cement fume at ground level
into the main building, carrying in
its current beets released through the
removal of traps into the bin bottoms.
Inside they are lifted to the washer
by 4S-inch ablixue scroll Two
slicers do all the work Of shredding
and deliver the cut product direct to
a conveyor which traverses IA level
above the valves Of the diffusion cells.
These latter have capacity of eleven
tons each and discharge from below
through hydraulic traps weighing
five tons into the pulp BASIN. From
the cells the juice goes on its way
through the evaporators, satulation
tanks, chrvstaliZers and vacuum pans,
all enormous in their proportions,
and capacities, while the wet pulp
goes to the roof of the building by an
immense conveyor and is squeezed
dry. Finally the graduated syrup
leaves the great pans for the centrifu-
gals, in which the ungrained syrup
and all other fluids are flung from the
peavly grains, the sugar thoroughly
washed and delivered to the dryers TO
be perfected.
In the process of making sugar from
beets large quantity OF lime water
is used us a means of facilitating the
quick and economical extraction Of all
I the saccharire matter. To supply
this necessary agency, at OXnard, the
largest vertical lime kiln in the world
has been provided with horizontal re-
burning kilns of equivalent capacity.
One hundred tons of lime rock are
handled by this enormous steel kiln
every day, and more than one hundred
thousand specially designed fire brick
were used in its production.
From the time the beet leaves the
storage bin until the finished sugar
reaches the dryers the product is car.

Does This Mean You?

1t is wonderful how many persons in
jure their eyes by the use of common or
cheap glasses, bought at haphazard and
totally unsuited to them. 1t is like bor-
ing hole in a sound tooth. Your hat,
boots or shoes and clothes must be
bought at short intervals Of not less
than one year, with the most economical.
You cannot injure the person in such
decisions as wearing apparel, but can
totally ruin your eyes and sight by know
ing nothing of the science of optics or the
laws OF refraction. In getting optical
assistance, therefore, do not depend upon
your own judgment or trust to that of
any one else unless qualified by years OF
practice in their profession. Glasses IN.
suited to your eyes must be changed
very often, SO that at the end of short
period, say year, the patients find that
they have ruined their eyes and sight and
have paid more in short period than
they would have done, and saved their
eyes and sight. had they consulted the
proper authority in the beginning. Get
the glasses from an oculist, to suit you
in the first place and they will last you
and save your eyes for from three to
five, eight or even ten years, and will not
cost you more than you would have paid
for your hats or shoes in the same length
OF time. Now, the question naturally
arises and remains with you whether
your eyes are worth it or not
These remarks are called forth by the
presence OF DR.. Byers, whose name and
reputation as a scientist in his profession
in the adjustment of glasses to the eyes
is known and recognized in this country.
He comes to Henderson to establish the
| a nf
cally, and is endorsed by the most dis
tinguished members of the medical pro-
fession throughout this country. Do
not lose SO valuable an opportunity of
having your eyes properly examined and
lenses adjusted.
AS DR.. Byers' stay in Henderson will
be limited, persons who may require the
services OF a specialist should consult
him at once or be disappointed. Consul
tation and test examination gratis.

Mr.. F. M. Meadows Passed Away on
Friday.

The Public Ledger of last week con-
tanned the following notice of the
death of a good man who formerly
lived here and was very popular with
our people:
The reaper dread never comes I'M
commissioned, and though his scythe
seems to cut the tenderest cords,
we know it is by His divine behest
alone that we are called upon to
mourn the death of loved ones. On
Friday night the Great Reaper swung
his scvthe around and plucked the
spirit of one of our beloved citizens,
"Uncle d. Meadows, after several
weeks sickness, which caused sorrow
in our community.
He was 65 years old, Christian as
he was a faithful follower of the
''meek and lowly Jesus and a con-
sistent member of the Baptist church.
Altogether Mr.. Meadows had been a
resident of Oxford for some 30 years,
and we'll known in tobacco circles as
he has sold thousands OF pounds of
tobacco for our farmers. He had a
host of friends who will lament his
death, as he was man OF high char
acter and warm, sympathetic heart
beat within his bosom. 1t is a bless
ed thought that the messenger found
him ready. He had set his house in
order against the day of his depart
ure by life of piety and early conse-
Grafton.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Baptist church Saturday
afternoon, attended by sorrowing
community, they laid him in the
grave at Elmwood among the mounds
of loved ones who had gone before,
where their kindred dust shall sleep
until the resurrection morn.
He leaves a loving wife, two sons
and daughter, one brother and host
of friends to mourn his death.
The hearts of our community 90
out in the deepest sympathy to the
