Perry-Antrim Farmers Club.

Friday, Nov. 4, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Prior entertained the Perry-Antrim
Farmers Club. A number of visitors
were present, the Southwest Vernon
Club being we'll represented.
The time before dinner was occu-
pied In visiting. After all had par
taken OF hearty dinner the club was
called to order by President Charles
Service. MyrCn Stone gave selections
on his gramophone at intervals during
the program. After.singing from the
Rural Songster," Rev. ]. B. Wallace
conducted devotional exercises. The
roll call showed the families to be we'll
represented.
The debate which was to have &C.
Cured last month was the principal
feature of the meeting. The question
was, Resolved, that envlronmentlhas
more to do with character building
than heredity." Those on the aff1ma-
tive size were Mrs. w. G.. Morrice, G.
f. Colby and r. f. Kay. AS Mr.. Kay
was not present, Mr.. Harrington,
president Of the Southwest Vernon
club, took Mr.. Kay's place. The neg
alive side was defended by Mrs. VIM.
Cooper, Mrs. John Clark and w. G..
Morrics. The judges were Mark D.
Grout, Mrs. f. j. Stone and Rev. J.
B. Wallace. All OF the contestants
did very we'll, bringing out many good
points. The remarks Of Mr.. Harring-
ton were very humorous. Victory
was awarded to the affirmative side.
Mr.. Harrington was called upon for
remarks and gave an interesting talk
along the line OF improvement in ru-
raj life. Mr.. Smedley, also of the s.
w. Vernon Club, was called upon, and
gave fine talk on the benefits deriv-
ed from farmers clubs.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the question box.
Should we feed tramps? Mrs. Nor
ton said that the professional tramp
should not be fed, but as it is hard to
distinguish between the worthy and
the unworthy she seldom turned any
one away. Mr.. Smedley said we en-
courage people to tramp the country
by,feeding them. He had no use for
the professional tramp but meal was
never begrudged any worthy person.
Rev. Wallace when asked for his
opinion said he did not think the pro.
fessional tramp should be harbored,
but as it was impossible to make dis
tinction, no one is turned away.
How do yop oeeounu 1or tne present.
snidemic OF crime? Mrs. VIM. Nor
rice said it was idleneSs; Mrs. G.. w.
Mackay that it was largely due to the
prominence given crime in the daily
paper. Mr.. Norton believed intern
perance to be the principal cause.
What are we going to do with Sab
bath hunting? Mr.. Colby said that
the better classes are ia a large meas
ure responsible because they do not see
to 1t that the laws are enforced. Rev.
Wallace said the laws needed revising,
because they provide only for the pen
atty to be paid in money and III the
convicted refuses or is unable ito pay
no method of punishment remains.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Beckley were
appointed delegates to the state con-
vention, and Mr.. and Mrs. Mark D.
Grout alternates.
"PIainfield Place" was the name
given the Prior home. After singing
by the club the meeting adjourned.

PRAISE FROM A SoUTHERNER
One Texan Whose Heart Was Witt,
the Northern Cause.

Snc NoTluSTH SdOoC.
Here is volume bearing a London,
England, imprint of date eighty-odd
years ago and its contents are Cob.
belts letters written from this coun-
try and printed in his Political Regis
ter, denouncing the policy of the Eng
lish government in warning against the
United States and telling the English
people how egregiously and persistent
ly their government was lying about
the events of the war. This is
muchworn volume that evidently has
been the property at one time of re-
time of a patriotic American.
Piled up with the Cobbett and other
old volumes was found strange book
that bears date 1868, in a second edi.
ton. The author was; or is, Griffin
Lee of Texas. The title is Pre-
Adamite Man: The Story of the Hu.
man Race from 35 900 to 100 900 Years
Ago." The dedication is as follows:
To
HONEST ABRAHAM LINCOLN
President of the United States,
AS Testimony of My Gratitude for His
Efforts to Save the Nation and
Widen the Area Of Human
Freedom;
To
The Thinking Men and Women of Our
Grand but Distracted Nation,
East as Well as West, North as
Well as South.
And to
Charles Trinius
OF Strahlsund, Prussia.
The first thing about this book to
cause surprise is the date of its pub
lication, taken in connection with the
authors place of residence and the
dedication to Abraham Lincoln. Eight
cen hundred and sixty-three was n
most trying year Of the civil war, and
Texans were not less opposed to the
union cau-e than were the Virginians.
How Griffin Lee, who was resident of
Texas, could have mustered the cour-
age to put in the title page of his book
the name Of the president at Washing
ton is an uEanswerable question Just
now.
