at Hillsdale, who invited him to go with them
to dinner at the house of resident &C.

pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to

Accordingly, when all were seated, silence

to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the

Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with

1t il DiscOuraging.

1t is discouraging to hear a man
cavorting around on the streets all
day about the exact way to reform,
says Georgia paper, and then have
him go home at dusk and go to bed
even when a reform meeting is in
progress. This kind of man reminds
the Georgia editor of one of his
friends. This friend, at home, argued
politics to his wife, made speeches to
her, and would work himself into
such a fury that when he started
down town she followed him to the
gate and begged him with tears in
her eyes not to kill anyone or Undue
his hands in human blood in any way.
When he got down town he was al
ways so cOnciliatory and gentle that
it was impossible to tell what side he
was on or what politics he believed in.

Result of One Practical Joke.

j. L. Evans, prominent young rail-
road official at Bennington, Ala, is
engaged to marry a beautiful young
lady at Pickensville, Ala. Several
friends determined to have some fun
with him by one of them telling him
that his sweetheart had married an
other. Evans refused to believe the
statement until the friend insisted
that he was present at the ceremony.
Then Evans hurried to a nearby drug
store, purchased ten grains of NOR
phine, and going to a saloon, swal-
lowed the drug. When found he was
almost dead, and two physicians la
bored with him for hours before they
were able to bring him around. He is
still very low. The young lady in
question has heard of the joke and is
deeply incensed. She will wed Evans
as soon as he RECEIVERS.

Receiver for a Big Corporation.

The Tunis Lumber Co., of Norfolk,
Baltimore and North Carolina, has
been placed in the hands of a receiver
by the United States court at Nor
folk, Va. The company is one of the
largest concerns in the lumber trust,
officially known as the North Carolina
Pine association. They cut and man
ufacture at Norfolk enormous guam
titles of North Carolina yellow pine,
and own 10000 acres of standing pine
in North Carolina. Their liabilities
arc about $5OO,OOO; capital, $500, 900;
have assets aggregating $2,OOO,OOO.
The receivership is the result of the
refusal of the trade to take lumber
at the advanced prices made by the
trust, and the accumulation of
great stock of lumber. 1t was resort
ed to to save the sacrifice of the as
sets, as attachments would have en-
tailed.

SOUTHERN oLEANlNes.
The Cotton Crop of 1soo-10OO.

Col. II. G. Hester, secretary and SUI
perintendent of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange, has made public the
leading totals of the cotton crop last
year. According to his figures, the
crop reached 9,436, 416 bales, as COM
pared with a crop of 1924, $40 bales
the preceding season. Secretary
Hester shows that the consumption of
cotton last season by southern mills
reached the handsome total of 1884,
112. This total shows that the mills
of the south have consumed 1918
bales of cotton more than they did
during the preceding season. In or
der to arrive at this information, Mr..
Hester is compelled annually to take
complete census of the southern
mills, a work which is of colossal
proportions. In his complete report,
which will shortly be issued, Mr. Hes
ter will furnish the customary inter
esting details as to the southern
mills, their capacity and consumption
of cotton, as well as a complete rec
ord of those working, those idle and
the new establishments being erected.
