Rev. Irl II. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work OF
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all pre-
vious years. To say that such results,
reaching through thirty years, are
not based upon sound sense and use
fulness, is an insult to the intelligence
of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through
this great Almanac, and his famous
family and scientific journal, Word
and Works, is doing a work for the
whole people not approached by any
other man or publication. A fair test
will prove this to any reasonable per
son. Added to the most luminous
course in astronomy for 1908, forecasts
of storms and weather are given, as
never before for every day in the year
all charmingly illustrated with near
ly two hundred engrayings. The price
of single Almanac, including postage
and mailing, is thirty cents. Word
and Works with the Almanac is $I.00
a year. Write to Word and Works

TOWN BEAUTIFYING
The Value OF Shade Trees To A Com.
munity

The Value OF Shade Trees To A Com
munity
Without tees no town can be
beautiful. In summer their shade is
refreshing, while the dreariness of
winter is rendered less desolate by
their presence. And trees have a d.
rect value too. A tree shaded avenue
is a much more desirable place of
residence than one which lacks the
adornment. Property is more valuable
on this street, and landlords demand
and receive a higher rate of rent.
The houses are more pretentious, the
lawns are green and smoothly shaver,
and beds of flowers and punches of
shrubbery bear witness to the friendly
rivalry among the dwelIers to excel in
the beautiful. A comparatively small
outlay will do much to beautify
town. Once planted and properly
guarded from destruction, trees re-
quire little care and in few years
will amply recompense for trouble and
money expended.
The custom of maintaining i'll
looking fences in front of residences
is foolish one. Remove them and
note what a difference. The street
has much broader appearance, the
houses appear to have more room,
and, what is worth considering. an
item is taken from the expenses of the
householders. Laws are not necessary
to doaway with the fences. Once the
movement is started, they will quickly
disappear. The penalties provided in
the town ordinance for stray animals
is amply sufficient to protect lawn
and shrubbery from their depreda-
ton.
Of course, in certain localities fences
have their uses and are well nigh in
dispensable. For instance, on the
farm they are necessary to keep
horses, cows, pigs and other stock
from entering the fields which the
husbandman has planted with grain
and vegetables or to exclude them
from prematurely enjoying the har-
vest of grass in meadow and upland
which is destined for their winter
sustenance. No such conditions pre-
vail in the town, however, and in the
interest of beauty the fences should
be relegated to the domain to which
they belong
The re is no use or reason for fence
in the streets of a town. In days of
yore, when COWS and pigs wandered
at will through the highways and by
ways, they were necessary only be-
cause the ordinances respecting cattle
in the town were not enforced. But
times have changed and people no
longer tolerate the man who permits
his domestic animals to gain a liveli-
hood at the expense of his neighbors'
lawns and gardens.

Major Otey, We're unanimously adopted.
Resolutions calling on State Senator
Carter Glass to announce himself a can
didate for Congress were adopted with
much enthusiasm, the sentiment express
ed being heartily applauded.
Mr.. Glass thanked the meeting briefly,
but feelingly. for its manifestation of in
terest in him. and expressed his especial
qualification that the Democrats of Camp

him worthy to take the mantle of his
lamented friend. Major Otey, to whom
he paid touching tribute as among the

the halls OF Congress-.
Mr. Glass stated in conclusion that he
would more than likely respond to the
action of the meeting by announcing
himself q candidate for Congress IN Il
few days: in which event, he said. he
would make an active canvass. and. II
nominated and elected. would try to emu
late the example Of Major Ctey, and

One Result Of the Very High Prices OF
Beef in Richmond

Beef in Richmond is so high right now
that four negroes took q ladder to get
it on Saturday night. While they were
getting the beef a couple of policemen
were laying plans to get them. The police
men were more successful In their plans
than were the negroes and yesterday the
FIVE appeared in court. They were James
Jones, George Talliaferro, Harvey WHITE
Willie Pope and Joseph Burrell. Dix
months each was their portion. Ihey
thought it was a joke.
Now it happens that the Perkins meat
establishment at Tenth and Canal Streets
has lots of juicy steaks and things IN
it The negroes knew this and desiring
a blowout for Sunday they decided that
they could use some of these nice things
Unfortunately, however. the place was
closed up and they wanted it SO badly
that they decided to git it anyway. Then

beef is suggested, a ladder and noe

The ladder was procured, placed against

along and noticed the ladder. They be-
gan an investigation, and this investSa-
ton led to the negroes being dragged out
