Mark Twain Gets Fortune.

Hartford. Conn, Nov. S.-The
American Publishing Company of
this city has sold to Harper Bros.
all its interest in the publications
of Mark Twain for a large sum.
The exact figures are not given.
1t is understood that it was on
the strength of this transfer that
the Harpers made their announce
ment of contract with Mark
Twain to keep him in easy circum-
stances the rest of his life.
The American Publishing Com
pany, which introduced Mark
Twain to the reading public,
brought out nearly all his most
famous works. Recently the com
pany has been publishing a com
plete set of all this authors works
to sell by subscription, and it is
here that by the full
transfer to the Harpers Mark
Twain nets over 100000.

have grown to be strangers and
have even lost sight of Willie anC
Mamie, but occasionally catch 8
glimpse of Ed, who is conductor
on the M. & 0. r. r. and of Josie
who is the hostess of the Palace
Hotel, at Union City, and who was
one of the sweetest little girls we
ever knew. The very names, Mr..
and Mrs. Inman, convey to my mind
all the truth involved IN the words
Christian man and womanhood.
Some say it is a sin to let your
mind dwell on the past, but we do
not see things in that light nor
would we exchange the fond re-
collections of scenes and friends of
other days for anything this world
can give. We cherish them above
everything else except the hope
we entertain of a future existence
and home beyond this life where
homes and friendships will last
throughout eternity with Him who
covenanted with man and set His
bow in the clowds as a token of
that covenant; with Him who di-
vided the waters of the Red Sea
and of the river Jordan and shook
down the walls of Jerico with the
sound waves of a great shout by
the children of Israel. Take
everything else, but leave me the
fond recollections of past friends
and the hope of a future existence
around the great white throne and
happy will be the last moments of

CONGRESS CONyENES.

The Fifty-eighth Congress con-

noon in accordance with the procla-
nation of President Roosevelt for
the purpose of enacting legislation
necessary to make effective the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty.
The House assembled the largest
membership in its history, and the
scene before the gravel fell in that
body was one of animation, both on
the floor, in the cloak rooms, and
in the lobbies and corridors. The
day was crisp and bright, and the
Capitol building presented the ap-
pearance OF a new structure with
its coat of white paint and omplete

Among the real business, all

gentlemen that Mum her -Four is SO
blessed with the are none more

S. Alexander, of Rives.
We suggest that as winter is
now approaching and before the
wet weather sets in for good that
each district road commissioner
hurry up his overseers and have
plowed and subsoiled every foot
of road in the county from center
to circumference, and if possible
leave the center of the road the
lowest and stop up the bitches and
culverts, SO as to help save every
drop of water possible through
the winter to tide over the dry
weather next summer.
Mr.. Jesse Caudle, of near Rives,
is one of the most tender hearted,
whole souled, all round good Chris
tian men we ever knew; we do
wish we could be as good, but
when we would do good evil is al
ways present, and if somebody
don't help us the devil will get us

One day last week we were driv-
ing through Union City with a load
of brooms when a bunch of them
fell off and we stopped to get them,

will hand them to you" He
came and handed them up to me
md so captured me by his gentle
manly appearance that asked him
his fathers name, and he said,
''My father is dead but my name
IS Richard Carter; my mother is a
widow and teacher in the public
school. God bless all such boys.
We venture the assertion that that
boy has bright future before him
and that he will make his mark in
he world, and that his mother is
