Twelve miles north of Columbia and
THU teen miles south of Franklin. on
the pike connecting the two county
capitals, is situated the town of Spring
Hill, the metropolis of the 22nd Dis
trict.
This village, has resident population
of five or six hundred, with transient
population of more than 200 boarding
pupils, and possesses its quota of in
situations, industries and ETC., all of
which will be noticed in their place.
The lands about the town are famed
alike for their crops and for their live
stock. The soil of this section shows
clearly its lake formation. 1t is mix
ture of lime and clay. containing more
of the latter than some other of the
noted lands Of the county, and its fer
tility is equaled only by the durability
of its producing powers Fields that
have been in continuous cultivation for
more than half century still show
astonishing yields.
The citizens here like to regard this
as the grainary of the Middle Basin.
Perhaps they are right, for corn,
wheat, oats, barley-in fact all the
cereals are grown here successfully and
in great abundance. The wheat yield
averages between 20 and 30 bushels
per acre, and the quality is claimed to
be exceptionally fine. 1t is needless
to add that blue grass fourlshes here !

Thousands Of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know 1t, because
It has been called some other name tha,
catarrh. The fact is, catarrh Is catarrn
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, Is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. r,,,u
Catarrh is an American disease. fully
one-half Of the people are afflicted more
or less with it In some form. Previous
TO the discovery OF Peruna, catarrh was

WANAMAKER'S
ADVERTISING.
Spends Over $1,000 Day in the
Philadelphia Papers.

John Wanamaker pays over 81, 600
day just for advertising his Philadel-
phia store. He uses page a day in
five daily newspapers in that city.
They are as follows: Press, $50, 90;
Ledger. $50, 000 Times, $50, 600; North
American, $75, 900, and Evening Tele-
graph, 800, 600. Up to a few months
ago Mr.. Wanamaker was using a page
in the Record at the rate of $87. 500 q
year, which would have made an
annual expenditure of 1882, 500. When
he wanted to renew his advertising
contract with the Record, the pub
fishers asked $25, 600 more, or total of
$112, 800. Mr.. Wanamker refused to
pay the amount. thinking no one else
would pay the sum for the page. The
was made to Lit Brothers.
who accepted the contract without
hesitation. and they are now
paying the enormous sum OF 1926, 900
for the use Of the page one year.

Society and Compnni Onsh ip.

The privilege of having some one With whom we may exchange few rational words every day, as Emerson phrases it, is the choicest gift in life. We are rich in society and yet poor in companionship. In the overflow or chatter we are starved for conversa- tion. Social life is so largely an affair of representation, it inclines so largely to the spectacular and to what it's chroniclers designate as "social func- tions," that the element of conversa- tional intercourse is almost eliminated. Yet, primarily, is not that the supreme object of all friendly meeting! When we reduce to first principles this com- plex thing called living, do we not go to our friend solely to talk with him Do we not invite him solely that we may exchange ideas and compare views on subjects of mutual interest! Still, as things go, people meet all through a season in the midst of groups and throngs-at dinners, receptions, en- tertainments of all kinds-without ex- changing one word in the way of true rcourse.-Exchange

The Extinct Northern "sea Cow"

In the year 1754 the Boring explor. CTS discovered gigantic species of ryti- nae, or northern sea COW. These enor- nous manatees were similar in gener al habits to those of the South Ameri
 can coast and were from twenty to thirty feet In length and from ten to twenty feet in girth. They were very stupid, harmless beasts and lived by browsing on seaweeds and other ma rine growths near the land. The sail ors were not slow in finding out that a sea COW steak beat seal meat "all hollow" From 1754 until TICS they were the principal food of the sailors and explorers on our western coast. This being the case. 1t is not at all sur prising that the northern sea COW, nev- CT q very numerous species, should be- come extinct in the short space of four teen years. The last of the giant man. atees was killed in September, 116S, a few months less than fourteen years after the discovery of the first one.

The T shap- ed table was set in the state dining room and was a marvel of artistic beauty. The public portions of the house, in which the guests spent the remainder of the evening, were still fresh and beautiful with the floral decorations used Wednesday. The Ma. rine band furnished music.

THE NOMINATION. AFFAIR.
Suspicion Has Been Directed from
 Miss Erwin.

According to the Norwalk Hour George Stevens. the school committee. man of Rowayton, says that in the trouble there in which Principal Me Clellan and Miss Erwin are concerned suspicion has been turned from Miss Erwin and is now directed in another channel. He says that this is due in a measure to the news from Burnside of the anonymous letters that had been sent to Mir Mcclellan when he was ill that place. Mir Stevens denies that he said that he would dismiss Miss Fry .l and retain the other teachers in the school. MT Mcclellan has nothing fur ther to say other than the general statement that it seems to be lis fate to go to places where anonymous let ters are written. It is the general opinion at the seat of war that Miss Erwin has been the victim of coward ly conspiracy. 1t is said there is likely to be a change of some sort in the school and very likely an arrest. A good many are in favor of having the postal authorities take a hand in the matter as there has been a fragrant violation of the law concerning the use of the mails.

CLOVES WANTS TO BUU.
Attorney oNeill Called on Attorney ! Burpee and Asked Miller's Price.

Atturney O'Neill Called on Attorney Rurpee and Asked Miller's Price.
 A new and unexpected development has taken place in the Randolph Clowes-Miller case. It occurred yes ferday afternoon after it had been given out for publication that MT Clowes's next step against Mir Miller was to be in the form of suit for breach of contract. The development is an offer to buy out Mir Miller and the entire Randolph Gloves Go by MT Gloves. The offer was made by At torney John O'Neill to Colonel Burpee, and the dialogue enveloping it as sumed this form. MT O'Neill is not a frequent visitor to the offices of the colonel so that when he entered yester- day the visit caused much surprise:
 You could never tell what brought me here, colonel" said the visitor.
 s.Oh, to wish me a happy New Year, of course,'' replied the colonel, smiling inquiringly.
 '.oh. I could do that over the tele- phone,' said MT O'Neill. Guess again.
 You want to see me about the suit Ing against Mir Cloves"
 "No; 1 came to see you to know if you would sell out"
 The offer was a surprise to the col onel. You mean to offer to buy MI M1ller's interests in the Randolph Gloves Co.,
 ssrTbo+ ic r,,ha+ .,,, 1,o,o co,,., e,;5 MT O'Neill. What is your figure?'
 Colonel Burpee did not know what fo think or say for a moment This was so unexpected, so strange de Eelopment in the case that it did more than all the confusion and excitement he passed through with General Miles m Porto Rico. It took him off his feet. He did not doubt for one mo ment Mir O'Neill's statement; but law gers do not do business that way.
 Make your offer on paper" said the colonel to MT O'Neill, '.and we will give it proper consideration"
 "Oh, hang it all!' said MT O'NeilI "can't you give me some idea of what your figure may be. We want some ground to work upon"
 Put your offer on paper" repeated the colonel, "and We will think about It."
 This substantially closed the inter View, but not the visit
 It was ascertained this morning that II MT Miller sells to Mir Cloves he will sell only for what he asked in the first place, the amount of his mortgage $3O0OOO.

POSITION OF SUPPLY CLERK.
Louis Raffel Thinks He Could Fill the
 Bill.

The latest returns regarding the race for positions in the gift of the board or education is that Beniamin fWltoWskl, who some time ago had his eye upon Walter Geraghty's berth. has concluded that he does not care to ac- cept that position. There is a good ueal or heavy work i'll connection with mat Job, and besides the operations are carried on in the basement of the High school building where the venti- iaIlon IS not the best and as Mir Wi Towski is too prudent to run any risks regarding his health he has decided and perhaps wisely, too, not to have anything to do with 1t. He has changed off and will now see what he can do towards securing the office of fruant8 officer, position held for the past two years by William Turley. MT Witowski is said to be a sprinter and feels confident that he can outdis- fance any pupil attending the public schools and bring him to time in short order. But because Mir Witowski has turned his attention from the position of supply clerk it does not follow that MT Geraghty is going to have plain sailing. On the contrary, he is up against a more formidable competitor than Mr Witowski and if Walter wins it is certain that he will not do so without some noticeable evidence of having figured in lively scrap. Louis Raffel is out for the position of supply clerk and while he is going about it dn an honorable way, yet 1t is a fact that he is making a vigorous canvass and has a big following. He told a Democrat reporter to-day that he is looking for the job, but that if the new board decided not to make a change there he will not find fault. If the man who is there knows his business, wants the job and has given satisfac- tion in the past the board may consid- CT itself in duty bound to retain him, and if things turn out that way I'll have no Kick coming" This is a manly view of the case and on this ac- count many believe that Mir Geraghty has more to fear from such a competi- tor than from one who would be try ing to get there by other means. One thing is being said of Raffel that may injure his chances. He is said to be one of the wealthiest men in Water bury and in proof of this the fact that he bid about $25,00 for the Woods property during the past week is being pushed around. He is also credited with owning several blocks on Canal street and other places on which he does not owe a dollar and having the cash to plank down for the Woods property if it had gone his way. 1t seems his manhood stood in his way in 1his case. too, for it is a fact that he would have outbid Senator Kennedy and taken possession of six brick blocks were it not for the fact that he learned Mir Kennedy was acting for the heirs and then he would not have 1t at any price.
