The alleged civil government that
is to be established in the Philip
pines, will be civil in name only
until after Congress legislates on
the subject, as it is to be under mil
itary control. The islands are to
be kept under military control be-
cause of the belief that the estab-
lishment of real civil government
would rut them on the same footing
that was given Porto Rico by the
Supreme Court decision. There
are tricks in all trades, and Repub.
licans are specially apt in tricks re-
latlng to government.

The business men of Wheeling re-
port great progress in the prepare
tons for the coming Carnival, July
S-I3. The program is almost COM
pleted and includes much that is
beautiful and novel. Many distin-
guished guests have been invited for
the week, and indications are that
there will be great attendance of
out-of-town press representatives in
Wheeling during the grand, free
Carnival, which will be unprece-
dented. A movement is on foot to
ask all possible to be present on one
particular day, j. E., any who are
not able to stay for the week, and
make this day for Press Repres-
entatives, and have a spread in their
honor. This day has not yet been
selected, but it will be very fine

Kent and Carza Counties anC
tells the following stories O.
Pete Scoggin one of its owners
| 1t is certainly to be regretted
that Mark Twain Or or Dickens
never got acquainted with Pete
| once heard 4 stranger inquir
ing for Pete and asking for d
description by which he could
be known. a friend of Scoggiu
answered the stranger and here
is what he said: well, Mr.. in
going up the street or in knock
in round town if you see a big,
good natured cuss joshin' some
body or playin' a joke, you can
walk up and shake hands with
Mr.. Scoggin, for that's him. "
Scoggin is Il born humorist and
has gotten off lots that deserves
to live as a combination of high
class hnmor and philosophy. A
tenderfoot once asked Pete
about going into the cattle bust
ness and Pete proceeded to i'm
part to the gentleman some
brotherly advice and wholesome
suggestions. "My friend, -
gravely remarked Pete, "the
cattle business is the best bust.
ness on earth. Any man that
will go into it and be honest and
industrious and economical can
do well. That's what | did.
When | went into the cattle bus
mess | only had yoke of steers
and branded forty calves the
first year. A friend of Pete's
once went to him with a bad
case of the blues and remarked:
pete, believe l am ruined. l
believe lam going to lose every
thing | have on earth. "Glad
to hear it,, replied Pete in a
sympathetic voice. maybe if
you were busted and had moth
ing to worry about you'd be of a
more jovial disposition. If l
had anything that was causing
me as much misery as your stuff
is Id be mighty glad to lose it. "

Bobby on Parents.

i Parents are things which boys
have to look after them. Most
girls also have parents. Par
ents consist of Pas and Mas.
Pas talk a good deal about what
they are going to do. but mostly
it's Mas that make you mind.
Sometimes it's different,
though, Once there was a boy
came home from college on va
cation. His parents lived on a
farm. There was work to be
done on the farm. Work on a
farm always has to be done in
the morning The boy didn t
get up. His sister goes to the
stairway and calls:
"Willie, it's a beautiful morn
ing. Rise and list to the lark"
The boy didn't say anything.
Then Ma calls:
civilian, it is time to get up.
Your breakfast is getting cold"
The boy kept right on, not
saying anything. Then his Pa
puts his head in the stairway
and says he:
"Bill.!"
Coming, sir.' says the boy.
l know a boy that hasn't got
any parents. He goes in swim
ming whenever he pleases. But
l am going to stick to my par
ents. However, I don't tell
them so, cause they might get
it into their heads that l couldn't
get along without them. Says
this boy to me:
parents are nuisance; they
aren't what they re cracked up
to be-"
Says l to him:
Just the same, l find ,em
handy to have. Parents have
their failings, of course, like all |
of US, but on the whole l APP

Once man says to me:
Bobby, do you love your par
ents?"

THE SUNNY SOUTH SPEC
IAL OFFER.
ONLY TEN CENTS UNTIL JANUA.
RY |, 1902.

The Sunny South of Atlanta
Ga, Is making 4 special short
time offer of its splendid paper
from now until January LIST fol
only 10 cents. The full sub
scription price for one year is
only SOC and for literary week
ly of lis character the price is
remarkably cheap. The short
time price quoted, 10c until New
Years, is largely in the nature
of an introduction of the paper
to its larger Southern audience
that it deserves.
The paper, as its title head,
states is devoted to literature,
romance, fashion and fiction. 1t
is really devoted to Southern
writers and Southern readers
and it is their own story paper.
1t contains each week short sto-
ries. sketches, incidents of war
and of peace, anecdotes at home
and afeld, poems, ideas, fash
ions, columns of sunshine, let
tiers of travel, hints for home
keepers and indeed everything
of interest to young and old.
There are at present running
two splendid serial stories and
at least as many will be kept
constantly before its readers.
This paper for over quarter
OF Il century has been more or
less active in the Southern field,
but it has not adequately occu-
pied the whole space to which
it was allotted. Some six
months ago, it passed under a
new management and the con
tinued Improvement in it has
become more apparent with
each issue. At present its form
is ideal as family story paper
and the offer to send it until |
January 1st for only 10c is one
of the most remarkable.
The Sunny South has a club
bing rate with the Weekly Con
stitution whereby both papers
will be sent one year for only
Sl.25 This will furnish any
family with two good papers
each week at practically the
cost of one. The Weekly Con
stitution or Monday gives the
cream of the week closing with
its publica ton, and the Sunny
South on Saturday give splendid ,
service ia its line.
