though millions of them are killed every

The Department Of Agriculture also
says that the question Of the acclimatiza-
ton Of the Belgian hare in Porto Rico has
excited much interest and expresses the
opinion that the introduction Of the animal
into the island would be dangerous.
Hare meat is not so much in favor in
this country as in Europe, where it IS
greatly reliShed. Those of our people who
are interested in the breeding Of hares
for meat are largely persons of foreign
origin, who were accustomed in their ma
tive land to see the hare used very gen
orally as food. The animals are an enemy
of fruit trees, being likely, in winter. to
feed upon the buds of these trees They
are also very fond of cabbages, lettuce
and some other vegetables, fatten them
selves in Oat fields, and, in fact. are
great nuisance if not kept under excellent
control. Our farmers certainly do not
care to invite such an inhiction as that
which Australia has suffered through the
Introduction of rabbits.

A huge slide came down in the cut
where the new church stands and gave
it pretty hard jolt, but did no serious
damage. Willing nands soon removed
the dirt SO it would not press against
the building.
Prof. Lloyd Reynolds, inspector of
fruit nurseries, was over from the state
capital and inspected TIM Chitwood
nursery. He pronounced it free from
all fruit-tree pests, and Mr. Wilson re
ceived his certificate accordingly.

The Canteen, Etc.

Both Lord Roberts in India and
Africa and Kitchener in the Soudan
(when he had all the liquor brought
into camp poured out into the des-
ert sand. discovered that the SOL
dier is better without strong drink.
In time our military commanders
will find out the same fact, espec-
tally in the tropics. Any kind of
spirituous liquor there makes the
climatic effects much more deadly.
The "good beer" of the canteen
has the results on many a telnpera-
ment Of exciting a craving for
what is stronger. 1t is therefore
safest entirely let alone, and warm
drinks in winter, with fruit ones in
summer, provided for our soldier
boys. L.
There will probably always be a
difference of opinion regarding the
army canteen, recent abolished by
act of congress. However, all
must agree with the writer of the
above-"the soldier is better with
out strong drink and SO are all
others better without the stuff.

Ira Miller and daughter of Newport
visited our town Saturday to do some
shopping with our popular merchants
Lugger & Pruett.
The town has been very quiet the
past week, nothing of any Importance
occurring. We have not even heard
Mr.. Pruett laugh.
Thomas Pavey of near Mill was in
town the other day laying in supplies
and swapping yarns with the boys.
He is great joker at times.
Rev. G. M. Brown, pastor -at-lurge of
the M. E. church, preached here Sun
day evening to fair congregation. He
is we'll liked in this community.
Dick Casteel, night watch at the G.

The entertainment at Toledo on the
evening of Lincoln's birthday must
have been an interesting and swell
affair, as Mr.. Pruett seems to never tire
of speaking of it. He says he would
rather have been the soldier in the
pantomime that evening than to have
had the measles.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-John III. Joyce,

arrested in this city yesterday. He is
charged with defaulting for $4,000.
For more than two years Joyce, it is
said, has been eluding the police of all
the principal cities of the country, and
at times SO hot was the chase that he
was forced to visit foreign soil in the
hope of escaping his pursuer, who has
followed him since May Is, 1899.
Joyce, who at one time was thought
to be worth over 81 100000 is accused
by the residents of Stoughton with re-

to be insolvent and then disappearing.

forbade the admission of the peace Of

for the assassin; that he threw every

Says He Will Hold Durbin UP to the Scorn

Governor Beckham then says that
because they come from the governor
of a state ''these scandalous charges
will not be treated with 'the silent
contempt they deserve" but that their
author shall be ''held up to public
scorn'' for willful and inexcusable mis-
representations" Beckham declares
that Durbin has perverted the rec
ord in the Powers trial in declaring
that Judge Cantrill instructed the jury
that sit might convict on the testimony
of one alleged accomplice if that testi-
mony was cOrroborated by that of an
other alleged accomplice; that it might
convict the defendant for the act of an
other man, to which the defendant had
never agreed, etc."
To show that this is untrue Beckham
quotes ''the exact instruction Of the
judge in that case on this point:
'Eighth-The jury cannot convict the
defendant upon the testimony of an ac-
complete or of accomplices unless the
testimony be corroborated by other evil
