The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1901-09-13

We publish in this issue a call for
a meeting of the Upton County Farm
ers' Institute, also a call for a Road
Convention to be held in Nashville on
October 9Th. The purpose of the meet
ing of the institute is to take action
looking to placing our county above
the quarantine line, and select dele
gates to the Road Convention. These
are both very important matters that
should bring out goodly number of
citizens. We hope to see one of the
largest aetendances that ever assem-
bled at any OF our Institutes. The
special matters for consideration are
OF vital interest to the people-good
roads and the advantage of an open
market at all seasons for their cattle.
The Rev and Mrs. w. p. Browne
desire to extend their sincere thanks
TO the good people of CoyiugtOn for
the interesting and generous "dona-
tion party" given them last week. The
affair was successfully managed by
the ladies OF ST. Matthew'S church and
participated In by representatives of
all the churches and business firms in
town. Il was indeed ga love feast, -
the social feature Of the occasion be-
ing fully as agreeable as the stpound-
ing5 part Of IL. The refreshments
provided by the ladies as a separate
and distinct department. proved 20 be
q leading feature of the Occasion. An
exact estimate of the donations could
not be given, but it would be safe ~
say, Counting ALI sent Ia before And
after the party, the valuation would
go over fifty dollars. One OF the most
interesting points in the whole affair
is the expression OF Christian unitv
and royal friendship. II was an occa-
sion TO be remembered by all who
were privileged to take part in It, and
is fully appreciated by the rector and
bis family, who have just become citi-

Wireless Messages Across the
Atlantic.

The following appeared on the edi-
torial page of the New York Sun
Thursday morning:
1.-THE Sun is authorized to state
that the plans for the machinery of
wireless telegraphy to signal across
the ocean have been completed and
a site for the plant selected by Nikola
Tesla, and that the project will be
actively begun at once. 1t is esti-
mated that the time required to per-
feet the apparatus will be about
eight months.
I'VE have received inquiries of
late as to Mr.. Tesla's place among
inventors and as to his credentials
to fame. We don't know fully about
those things, but we do know that it
is Tesla who has given the world
what is perhaps the most precious
invention of the time, the electrical
transmission of power, and we have
seen the letter in which Prof. Slaby,
of Berlin, calls him the father of
wireless telegraphy.'

scribed above, be realized? We

OsteOpatly As a Profession.
| By Prof. Simpson Ely, in the Tennes-
see OsteOpath.

By Prof. Simpson Ely, in the Tonnes
see Osteopath.
"What shall | do? What shall be
my calling? How can | make the most
and best of my life? How can do the
largest possible good to the largest pos
sible number? How can be blessing
to my fellow man, and at the same time
accumulate money!"
The above questions are agitating the
hearts and minds of hundreds of thou
sands of young men and women. They
very vitality concern the lives of these
young people. Their present, and their
future welfare depend largely upon
their proper answer.
1t is not an easy matter for them to
determine just what to do. In these
days of sharp competition it is no easy
thing for the youthful life to get it's
proper bearings. If he commits his
boat to the sea without proper chart
and compass, he may very early strand
upon the rocks of failure and the reefs
of disappointment. A mistake in the
choice of profession is a mistake
fraught with life long consequences for
evil. 1t can never be remedied. We
cross the ocean of life but once. "We
shall not again pass this way" How
| important then that we start right and
keep right all along the voyage!
Why not enter upon the time worn
professions? Are they not honorable
enough? 1t is not solely a question of
an honorable one; but paying one, a
useful one, and a much needed one. Let
us glance at the old professions.

1t is over-crowded. The multitudinous
high schools, academies, colleges nor-
NAL schools, and universities, are grind
ing them out yearly by the hundreds of
thousands; so that the number of teach
ers is far in excess of the places to be
filled. Besides this very few teachers
stick to their calling for life. In the
vast majority of instances, it can be
safely said, teaching is simply made a
stepping stone to some other calling.
The teacher leads precarious life
Not one in a thousand gels wealth
to himself. Much of his time is unoc
cupied. He holos slight tenure upon
his position. He is wholly at the mercy
of the whims of his patrons, and too Of
ten they lare without mercy. 1t is an
honorable calling; but not a lucrative

Why not go to the law? OF course

Lady and Child Burned to Death
near Win chester.

WINCHESTER, Tenn, Feb. A.
The wife and 3year-old adopted
child of Nath. Farriss were found on
the porch burned almost to a crisp.
Mr.. Farris was here Wednesday at
tending the trail of J, G. Morris, and
on returning home in the evening
found them dead. The supposition
of the neighbors is that the child
caught fire from the fireplace and
the foster mother in trying to save
it was burned. Mr.. Farris is a

child, which he got from one of

spite of his treatment! The impression
is growing that the practice of medicine
is practice upon the credulity of the
patients. This profession is also over
crowded, and mediocrity is everywhere

As to the commercial world it affords

What of Osteopathy 1t is just the
thing 1t is new. 1t is thoroughly
scientific. 1t is eminently successful.
Fields for its practice are everywhere.
The efficient Osteopath is in great de-
mand. | know of no profession that
offers such golden opportunity for young
men and women of brain and heart and
/ nerve. And the field is as wide open to
women as to men. This is a great point
in its favor. 1t possesses a charm that
is peculiarly its own. All who study
it-though most difficult study-are
perfectly infatuated with it, and the
practitioner is constantly gratified with
the splendid results that follow his
skilful manipulations. Disease in it's
multitudinous forms yields to his edu-
Gated hands. For years | have lived
under the shadow of the great schools
of Osteopathy, in Kirksvile, Missouri,
where the science originated. | have
seen that city double its population in
less than a decade. Here have come
the poor and the rich, the high and the
lowly, the ignorant and the cultured,
and all classes have rejoiced in the won
derful results accomplished by this new
science. U. S Senators, Governors of
States, and eminent jurists have been
among its benefciaries, and are loud in
its praise | myself have seen NSe lame
leap for joy; the blind to see the nsth-
MATES to breathe freely typhoid fever
in its most malignant form cured
epilepsy of most violent form healed;
nervous prostration relieved; lurbagO
and rheumatism dissipated as if by
magic, and kidney affections utterly
driven out of the system. Time would
fail me to speak in detail of the success
ful treatments that have come under my
own experience and observation.
Here then is an inviting field for that
young man, or young woman who wants
to do great good in the world, and at
the sametime make money. You may
become a veritable angel of mercy, dis
pensing good to your fellows, and calling
down blessings upon your head. You
may know my confidence in this science
