The Grand Junction farmers,
who had their first experience
raising sugar beets this year, have
already learned that too large an
acreage does not pay, aud that
they would have had more beets if
the acreage had been curtailed
about one-third. Many of them
are not realizing as much from the
crop OF beets as they anticipated,
and as a consequence some who
raised beets this year will not do
80 next year, but others will. This
has been the experience wherever
sugar beet culture has been intro
duced. Shiftless and careless far
mefs will never make success of
raising sugar beets. but with lib
eral expenditure Of brains and in
dustry the profits will average
much lasges than for any other
crop that could be raised.

many thanks to Mrs. :. K. Men
delson ior carefully prepared
paper on the life OF Marie Antoi-
nette from Marie Antoinette's point
OF view. The paper gave evidence
OF thorough knowledge OF the
subject and was very helpful and
instructive to the class.
That Mr.. 7. r. Woodruff has
the welfare OF the school constant
ly in mind has been shown again
by his donation OF number of
valuable geological specimens.
The assortment consists OF nail
head spar, dog tooth spar, nodules
OF iron, rice coral, and coral rocks
from the Bermudas, whales tooth,
coral built on mussel shell, mum
ber OF specimens OF agate of wood,
Beryl from Bcryl mountain, n H..
black granite containing large
amount Of horn blende, banded
porphory showing talts, epidote
taken from vein in granite, gar
net rock, rock worn smooth by
glaciers, anthracite coal which is
too hard to burn in ordinary FIRE,
and pieces OF porphory found on the
coast OF Massachusetts, The
whales tooth is splendid speci-
men, being about two inches in
length and two inches in circum-
ference. The banded porphory is
probably the most valuable speci
men OF the collection. Although
it is but a small rock il shows very
distinctly the falt, the bands being
disconnected as uniformly as
though done by machinery.
The Thanksgiving exercises in
the several grades of the grammar
school were very agreeably rem
dered Wednesday afternoon. The
only drawback to the occasion be-
ing the seeming lack OF interest
shown by the patrons. The aver
age attendance to each room was
about SIX. 1t is too bad to disap-
point the little ones when they
have prepared really good pro-
gram, by the absence OF their par
ents. We are sure those who
were present were very pleasantly
entertained. Miss Watson's room
was nicely decorated with pictures
of those things dear to the heart
on Thanksgiving day, drawn upon
the board by the scholars. Some
very artistic work was displayed.
The regular literary organization
rendered the Thanksgiving exer-
else in Miss Gooch's room. Ger
trude Finney acted as chairman
and Hazel Lee as secretary. A
bountiful supply of candy, nuts
and apples was the cause OF very
enjoyable time after the compile
ton OF the program.
The pupils of Miss Beck's and
Miss Bierly's rooms delivered a
joint program which was very
creditable.
There was display of some very
commendable effort on the part of
the students of Prof. Burns room.
Among other things a number OF
very amusing dialogues were an
entertaining feature Of the work in
Miss Sherman's room.

OBITUARY.,

Mary Emily Braden was born APP
ril I6, 1875, in Campbell Co., Tenn,
and died April 2, 1899 at her home
near Moweaqua. She was sick only
few days and the suddenness of her
death was an extremely sad message
to her relatives and friends. The de.
ceased has been faithful and di;.
gent member of the Missionary Bap
fist Church for IL years. She was
married to Maynard Goddard Aug.
II, 1898, and moved to this place
from their former home in Tennessee
just one month before her death.
She was kind and afectionate wife
and won the admiration and respect
of all whom she met by her amiable
disposition and christian character.
Her life was one of faithfulness and
inexpressible purity, always consider
ing her religious duty the most SUI
preme of her life. She leaves a hus-
band, three brothers, a father and a
host of friends to mourn her untimely
death. -Moweaqua Republican.

A WORD TO THE WISE ~

Said Solomon i'll his day, "There is
an evil which I have seen under the
sun" If Solomon in the flesh might
only have patroled the main street OF
this city last Sunday Morning he
would probably have added a post
script 10 that remark to this effect,
"and also in the shade"
While on one side of the way, the
sunny side the church going portion
of Maryville, some of them perhaps
rather deliberately arrayed for the
destination towards which they ten
ded, according at least to old time
Methodist standards, were sedately
seeking the house where prayer is
wont to be made, the observant
stranger could but wonder why de-
spite the increasing heat and the
clouds of dust to be encountered fur
ther down, the fair ones SO persistenly
sought the sunny side.
Alas fhe explanation was not far to
seek. Every reader of the Times
knows why no modest retiring woman
likes to venture alone down the south
side of Main Street on Sunday morn
ing. This with its shade its many ad.
vantagous places of lounging and OF
observation has been pre-empted by
"the man about town." or the boy as
the case may be.
Exactly by what right these individ-
uals thus congregate, blockade and
befoul with tobacco JUICE, the thorough
fare by which ladies and girls in fresh
dainty dresses must pass, probably it
would take wiser than Soloman to
discover. That must ever remain a
mystry, together with the cause Of
this much to be decried, l had almost
said, disreputable habit of Sunday
lounging.
Were there no houses of God, where
good sermons and good music might
far better while away an idle, hour,
surely there are the broad fresh fields
to wander over, where man may meet
with Nature, and with Natures God
commune. Too tired for church, too
tired for a walk2 Then stay at home
and sleep, For perhaps in slumber
some good angel may whisper through
your dreams;-and there will be less
need for Street Preacher on Sunday
morning, and a street sweeper on
Monday morning. That is the advice
of the observant stranger who may or
may not be
Solomon's Ghost.

Making a Child Too Quiet.

Play is the proper and natural outlet
for child's thoughts. To restrain his
motion is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses of his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced to
be still and passive when they are
longing for action find relief in whis-
pering over stories to themselves, but
it is an unsatisfactory substitute for
dramatic action. And it is also moral
ly injurious. for the necessity Of con-
cealing ones ideas destroys after
awhile the ability for fluent express
sion and brings about timidity and dis
trust of our friends.-Florence Hull

The SorrowfuI Tree.

There is a tree in Persia to which the
name "the sorrowful tree" is given
Perhaps because it blossoms only in the
evening.
When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower. On the approach
of dawn, when the brilliancy of the
stars gradually fades in the light Of
day, the sorrowful tree closes it's flow
ers, and ere the sun is fully risen not a
single blossom is visible. A sheet of
flower dust as white as snow covers the
ground around the foot of the tree,
which seems blighted and withered dur
ing the day, while, however, it is &C
lively preparing for the next nocturnal
festival. The fragrance Of the blossoms
is like that of the evening primrose.
IF the tree is cut down close to the
roots, new plant shoots up and attains
maturity in an incredibly short time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another, which is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree, but less beautiful, and,
strange to say, it blooms only in the
daytime. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Powder Puff In Cuba.

The Cuban woman, young or old, con-
siders a powder puff more indispen-
sable adjunct to her toilet than mere
soap and water-a primal necessity to
her attra ctiveness which it is her re-
ligious duty to foster and preserve.
Thus all classes and conditions are
welded to the powder puff, from the
grand dame of fashion to the neglected
little orphan in the asylum; from the
crumpled visaged octogenarian to the
rosy checked child Of half a dozen sum-
mers. Go into any Cuban school and
you will lind teachers and pupils alike
