A Reminder Of We olden Time.

A fox hunt was held at Elktor
last week. Reynard was turned
loose and given a good start. A
half dozen hounds followed his trail
through the woods and fields until
the fox reached his den. Giving
an account of the chase the Demo
crat makes the following comment
"The hunt was not a large one,
there being but six hounds and but
few horsemen, the most of those
following the chase did SO in
vehicles. 1t was a vastly different
sight than the hunts that used to
take place under the supervision of
Enoch Ferguson, when a pack OF
fifty or sixty fine dogs and scores OF
horsemen, ignoring the highways
followed the chase across country
and giving the fox all possible adj
vantages in true sportsmen style"
The fox hunt is remnant of the
old Saxon wild boar hunt, English
steeple racing and such break neck
outdoor sport. The sboar's head
feast at Christmas time was part of
the ancient carnival of the chase,
which is described In Irving's
Bracebridge Hall in that writer's
inimitahle style.

A New Book ON the South.

There has just been issued mag
nificently printed and illustrated
volume, 8 by IL in size, and nearly
200 pages, under the title of s'The
Empire of the South. y 1t is with
out exception the most compre-
hensiye volume ever issued in the
interest of any one section, and tells
in most intelligent and interesting
way the rapid strides being made
by the country East of the Missis-
sippi, aud South of the Ohio and
Potomac.
The Southern Railway is the
publisher of this volume, and Mr..
Frank Presbrey, one of the leading
students and writer's in connection
with Southern interests, is its
editor.
While it is issued by a railroad
company, it is not in any sense a
railroad advertisement, but is only
an encyclopedia Of the South and
all of it's varied interests.
The volume contains more than
800 half-tone illustrations from pho
tographs, AMI 1t is bound in a most
attractive cover.
The work has been received
everywhere with the highest COM
mendations, and has already been
adopted as the standard publication
on the section which it treats.

played. Both ladies were enco ed

The silver republican is free

fewer strings on true blue silver

DEWEY DAY.

Just one year ago today Dewey
cleared his ships for action in Man
ila bay and in very few hours
won for us one Of the most cons
plete and striking naval victories in
the history of the world.
The victory convinced the great
naval powers of continental Europe
that Americans knew how to shoot
and where. 1t taught respect for
the flag never given it before and
was convincing proof that on sea
as well as land America was for
midable opponent, to which all na>
tions were compelled to give res
spect.
How glorious was our feeling,
bow worshipful of the old flag we
became that May day one year
ago.
In every city, in every land un>
der the sun, wherever an American
heard the enhancing news that
blessed May day, his step was
surer. his spirit more bold, his love
of country greater. He knew bet
ter than, we, how far reaching. what
reepect teaching, Dewey's victory
foretold. His experience under
Old Glory had been humiliating
No nation had been too insignifi'
cant to cast slur and inuendo at
Americans in foreign lands. The
cabled news of magnificent victory
transferred this sighting discour-
tesy to obsequious attention and
regard.
How great the moral results OF
Dewey's victory will be can only
be told as the years pass by.
Dewey Day should be national
holiday. Fling to the breezes
every flag you have, young Amer
ica, because no greater flag casts a
shadow on land or sea than Old
Glory. and the nation is not yet
born which can trail its glorious
stars and stripes in the dust to our
ignominy and shame.
