FAIR NOTES.

The man with the toy balloons and
rubber "squealers" is in evidence on the
grounds.
Mr.. W. p Woodbridge was manager of
the baby show. Which means that
everybody received fair and courteous
treatment.
The only reason why every baby
didn't get a prize was because there
were not enough prizes to go around.
All were as sweet and pretty as could be,
and each one deserved premium.
The gentlemen who officiated as
judges in the baby show were. Messrs.
w. w. Ogilvie and Thomas Bowen, of
Marshall county, and Bob jackson, of
Giles.
Prof. De Pierri, of Nashville, is here
with the orchestra of the Conservatory
of Music, which is furnishing music at
the fair.
Deputy Sheriff Latta put stop to
several slot machines and other gamb-
ling devices yesterday at the Fair and
made four arrests. Two of the men
were fined s. and two $3.50 before
Esq. G. w. Hayes The "houchee
couchee" dancers and other female per-
formers have also proven Objectionable
to many, and the officers will make an
attempt to stop them, also.

My boy, Clarence, returned to-day
from your town, where he had spent six
weeks under the treatment of Drs. God

the best physicians in North Alabama,
who lives in Birmingham. He said he
had curve of the spine and other COM
plications and stated that he was incur
able. However, he prescribed for him,
which treatment he followed for few
months, but grew worse. Later went

haps take out portion of the spine.
This | declined to do. Through an M.

that his trouble was disocated hip,

suits are entirely satisfactory to myself

DEATHS HARVEST.
Mr.. James Smiser.

The removal by death of Mr.. James
Smser, from Culeoka, calls to his long
home one heavy weighted with years,
who had served his time and generation
well, and who was now ripe in the sheaf
and ready for the harvester.
Mr.. Smiser was one of our old time
gentlemen; courteous in manner, pune
tillious in the discharge of every honor
able obligation, hospitab'e, open
hearted, generous and kind. lie was a
close observer, a great reader and deep
thinker, and his we'll stored mind, even
to extreme old age, furnished food for
thought and delight to his hearers Ia
early life he was farmer; later on a
druggist, and in more recent years re-
tired by age from the active duties of
life. But for half century or more his
name in the community where he lived
and died has been the synonym for
honesty, integrity, and culture d
Christian manhood. The departure OF
such man is loss to his family and
his friends, come when it may: but
there is consolation in the thought that
his stay was so long, and that his going
was his gain, for he was weak and
feeble, and age wore oppressively upon
him for months before he died.
In religion he was Presbyterian, and
for years ruling elder in his church
He leaves surviving him wife and three
! children namely, DR.. NJ B. Smiser,
Miss Sallie Smiser and Mr.. James A.
Smiser.
Mr.. Smiser's death was the result of a
stroke of paralysis which he sustained
Tuesday of last week He was in the
eighty-frst year of his age, and had been
in feeble health for sometime.
The remains were laid to rest Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock at the old Wilkes
camp ground, services being conducted
by Revs. Morse and Walker. A large
number of friends followed the remains
to their burial place, attesting their
love and esteem for the departed, their
sympathy for the bereaved.

IMITATION BUTTER.

AbOit Everything That Can BE Deodor-
lied Enters Into 1t.
Amid the argument pro and con as
to limitations on the sale of imitation
butter, the manufacture of the prod
uct goes on to a degree that the gen.
eral public has little idea of. Con-
gresham Towney is told by man
who has been employed FOR thirteen
years in the stock yards of Chicago
that about everything that can be
deodorized now enters into the manu-
facture of butterine. No tallow can
be had at the stock yards these days,
for 1t all goes into butte inc or oleo-
margarine. And more than that, so
do all kinds of inferior fats. Soap
and candle manufacturers have to seek
elsewhere for their stock. and the by
products of the packing houses from
grease has decreased as the output of
butterine has increased. So great is
the demand that there is difficulty in
procuring low-grade grease Of all
kinds for manufacturing purposes.
Withal, II is claimed hat these prod
ucts are chemically pure and whole
some, and that to limit their manu-
facture would be to decrease the sup
ply Of wholesome food.-Indianapolis

DR.. Patton, president OF Princeton
university, is more noted for the logic
of his sermons than the wit of his
speeches. But he can be humorous on
occasion. In an after-dinner speech
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of advocat-
ing local prohibition in Princeton, he
said Local prohibition would only
create a market for corkscrews." Last
summer he decided to shave off his
side whiskers, which he had worn fol-
many years. After shaving off the
eft side he went to his bedroom
where his wife was sitting. and said:
MY dear, l have shaved one side. Il
you like it I'll shave the other.
