Report came from Calvert, Tex,
Tuesday morning, announcing the
death of Miss Kate Perkins, who
had gone to that country from I'm.
ion City in search of health. Miss
Perkins was reared in Troy and
spent a number OF years in Union
City IN the dressmaking and millin-
cry business. She accumulated a
snug sum of money while at work,
which served her well when bad
health overlook her. She was we'll
known here at home. of kind and
alternative nature and had a very
large share of friends. She had
two brothers and sister reared ia
Troy, all of whom are dead. and
leaves her sisters children as the
only living relatives. The body

The Board.

Very little business came up be-
fore the Board last Tuesday even
ing.
The regular committees had no
reports.
The committee appointed to
draft an ordinance, providing fund
for the payment of interest and
sinking fund for school bonds re-
ported and the ordinance accepted.
Complaint was made by dealer
against the vending of wall paper
in the the city by parties without
license or privilege, and measures
adopted to enforce the laws relat-
ing thereto.
A petition was also read protest
ing against the use of the Public
School building as lecture hall or
place Of public amusement for
money. 1t is claimed to be in vio-
lation of law and an injustice to
taxpayers owning and using prop
erty for that purpose. A commit
tee was appointed to confer with
the School B GARD in respect to this
matter.
Mr.. Greer, of the Finance Commit
tee, suggested the liquidation of
City Improvement Bond, or placing
the money at interest to protect
same. This is to come up for fu-
ture consideration.

cheaper rate or better service. One can
leave Denver on the Burlington's famous

reach Cleveland the second morning at
7:4O, the only change OF cars being at

dining cars are not expected to realize
profit, but are in operation for the con-

accounts for the excellence OF the ser

get SO much for 30 little money.

THE PROLIFIC FLY.
Fhs Multiplication of Meat Fllss Goes
ON Rapidly.


Flies multiply at a prodigious rate.
Given temperature sufficiently high
to hatch the eggs, their numbers are
only limited by the amount Of food
available for them. Linnaeus is cred
tied with the saying that three meat
flies, by reason Of their rapid multiple
cation, would consume dead horse
quicker than would lion, and the fact
that certain diptera having some out
ward resemblance to the honey bee lay
their eggs in the dead carcasses OF ami
mails probably led Samson and Virgil
to make erroneous statements with re-
gard to the genesis of honey and the
manufacture OF bees. The breeding Of
"gentles" for ground bait is an indus
try the practicers of which could
probably give much information as to
the nicely of choice expressed by hies
in selecting material for feeding and
egg laying. According to Packard the
house fly makes selection OF horse
dung by preference for ovipositing, and
as each female lays about 100 eggs and
the cycle Of changes from egg to ny
is completed in less than three weeks,
it seems probable that female fly
might have some 25, ,0OO, 900 descendants
in the course of hot summer. Other
varieties OF flies multiply, believe.
still more rapidly. AS ffies multiply
upon and in organic refuse of every
kind, 1t Is obvious that the sooner such
refuse is placed where 1t cannot serve
for the feeding and Matching OF lies
the more likely is the plague to be
lessened. The most commonly avail
able method for the bestowal of organ
ic refuse Is burial. The egg laying OF
dies in dead carcasses commences at
the very instant OF death, or even be-
fore death in the case of enfeebled
animals.-The Lancet

LEXINGTON. VA, Dec. 1S.-The bill in
troduced in the House of Delegates by

ing the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway 70
abandon its line between Buena Vista
and Glasgow, a distance of fourteen
miles. and to use the tracks of the Nor
folk and Western between these two
points. is meeting with considerable OPP
position by the citizens OF Rockbridge
county.
Bv the proposed change the county
will be deprived of an annual tax OF $45f.
and the Natural Bridge District, in which
the road is situated. 1915. 1t is a question
among those in a position to know Wileth-
er the General Assembly can annul the
contract assumed by the Chesapeake and
Ohio when they bought the road from
the Richmond and Allegheny Company. it
is recognized that the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Norfolk and Western are
under the control Of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company, and their desire for
the change is economy.
The Board of Supervisors of Rock
bridge. at their last meeting, entered
an order requesting the Senator and
members of the House of Delegates rep
rcsenung the county in the General As
sembly. TO have a bill passed authorizing
the board to refund the outstanding rail
road bonds OF the county The bonds are
per cent. refunded bonds of 1896. 81, 900
outstanding; of 1892. $15O,000. The bill pro-
vidcs that they shall be refunded in bonds
of not more than 4 per cent, and to be

NORTHERN INDUSTRIES MOVING
SOUTH.

While agricultural! interests are still
paramount throughout the South, the
rise and development of near!y every
branch of manufacturing industry has
gone on with unparalleled rapidly In
no direction has this growth been move
notable than in the realm of Cotton Cor
readers are already fanila' with the
phenomenal results achieved in Cott"n
textiles. South Carolina ls required sec
ond only TO Massachusetts III the number
of its spindles and the tendency 20 bring
the loom also into closer relation with the
source of its raw supplies must steadily
increase.
The enormous business done in what
were once waste products of the Cotton
Industry, later by-products. and now en-
titled to the dignity of independent in
GUstries is not SO well known. Cotton
Seed is the foundation Of as manT allie d
branches Of manufacture as the Northern
Beef and Pork Packing business has
given rise to. The oil is a staple arh-
Gle of commerce in all the markets OF
the world, and forms the basis for a
valuable ingredient Of numerous articles
of food At first used chiefly in the
large Northern Lard Retineries IN combs
nation with other fats CT animal origin its
value is now so universally re2oS llZefi,
ard its use so important that manu-
facturers of Lard Compound are feeling
the necessity of yielding to Seographl-
cal conditions and erecting their feliIl-
cries in the South, where they are not
only near to the source of supply OF Cor
ton Seed Oil, but also adjacent to large
population accustomed to the use Of
their products
Among the first to recognize these con-
ditions The n. x. Fairbank Company is
conspicuous. The Lard Compound pro
duced at it's Chicago and ST. Louis Re
fneries has been q household 5taote
throughout the South for the last qua
ter of century, and our people VIII
not be less appreciative of its merits, II W
that they know it is produced mere at
honie. The establishment Of the Fair
bank Company at Gretna is in every ,e-
spect completely equipped for the manu- manu-
facture of Lard Compound anG cot
to,ene" and nothing IS wanting that
money or skill can supply to perfect fts
products. We welcome to our section
his new Southern enterprise. which de-
serves the favor and patronage of our
people.
