Birthday Reception.

Master Allen Edward Norman, the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs, Chas.
Norman, celebrated his first birthday
last Tuesday afternoon, at the residence
Of his Grand Mother Allen. There
were about forty children present, their
ages ranging from one month to twelve
years. All kinds Of amusements had
been planned to suit the different ages,
and each child was delightfully."- enter
tanned. There was donkey to pin
tails on. two large plum.puddings to
pull plums out of, which turned out to
be beautiful souveniers. games OF all
kinds on the lawn, and then what
children consider the real party, most
delicious refreshments. One lady re-
marked that 1t was q real beauty show,
and another said that 1t WAS q bowling
success, but the latter was slander :,
for even the tiniest ones cooed with
delight, and 1t was happy time for
both old and young. Allen received
quantities of beautiful presents, which
will be reminders to him for many
years, Of his first ''mile stone
passed.

A Card OF Thanks,

l desire to most heartily thank the
good people of our town for their ready
response to my appeals in behalf of the
Widow Skaggs and her two young
daughters during the illness Of the
former, and to the kind-hearted doctors
who gave their medical skill gratis
also the undertaken, who rendered
services at cost. The girls have been
sent to their half-sister, Mrs. Artie
Moore, Boonsville, Ark. In this con-
nection I desire to state that no appeal
will be made by me unless am convict
ed itisa worthy cause, or case of fmercy.
l know the good people of our town have
been imposed upon by indiscriminate
charity and | would suggest that q
committee of one from each congraga-
tion Of our Christians be nominated to
meet at the mayors Office on next
Monday, July 81. at 10 a. m. and be
organized into a permanent committee
to which all cases of charity can be re-
ferred. Let the churches please con-
slider this last request and be represented
at the mayors office Monday at 10 a. m.
Greatefully yours. c, j. Bass,

Good Philosophy.

No man is q hero to his valet,
and no man wants to be valet
to his hero.
A man may forget the dollar he
borrowed, but he always remem'
bers the one he loaned.
When a man gets another to do
his work for him he is either
shrewd or lazy.
A man isn't necessarily rich
when he Is accused Of having
more money than brains.
Some people who succeed in Bit
ing OF more than they can chew
keep right on chewing just the
same.

Very Remarkable Cure for Diarrhna


About six years ago for the first
time in my life | had sudden and
severe attack Of diarrh9a, says Mrs.
Alice Miller of Morgan, Texas. II
got temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long years
have suffered more misery and agony
than | can tell. 1t was worse than
death. My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians prescriptions
and treatment without avail, Finally
we moved to BosQue county, our pres
ent home. and one day | happened to
see an advertisement Of Chamberlain 4
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy
with a testimonial of n man who had
been cured by it. The case was 80
similar to my own that concluded to
try the remedy. The result was won
derful. | could hardly realize that |
was we'll again, or believe 1t could be so
after having suffered so long, but that
one bottle Of medicine. costing but a
few cents cured me. - For sale by

Didn't Take it Seriously.
birmingham ge.lIcrald,) J


A very pretty Birmingham story
is told of a very pretty young girl
who was romantically and happily
married recently. Just before the
little wedding party were to face
the clergyman, something was
said about ice cream, the weather
being warm.
"Shall we have the ice cream
first or get married fiirstf she
asked innocently.
"Get married first" urged the
happy and handsome bridegroom.
His views prevailed and they
stood before the clergyman.
"Have you two seriously con-
sidered the important step you
are about TO take I said the clcr.
gyman, solemnly.
For o moment there was no an.
swer and then the little bride, her
face turned downward in rosiest
bushes, said timidly:
"Maybe Jack has but l hadn't
thought much about 1t.
The grave clergyman spoke
some wise words of counsel, and
then in formal phrases named the
two husband and wife. Brief con.
gratulations we're spoken, and
then the radiant little bride
touched her husbands arm aud
said:
"Now let's have the ice cream ~

trains to the Twin Cities, and that two
other lines will be made into North

published at the capital Of the state 1t

to estimate, will amount for the bien-
nial period ending January /, 1905. to
81 .250 900 to be paid out Of the gen.
eral fund. The total receipts Of the
fund for the biennial period ending
July 1, 1902, as shown by the auditors
report, omitting the amounts bor-
rowed ON funding warrants and the
receipts for the benefit Of institutions
and which by law are credited to the
appropriation of such institution,
amount to $1.O54 4,94SS1. The receipts
for the present biennial period will
exceed this amount quite materially
and in estimating the probable rev.
enue I have considered the annual in
crease in valuation equal to the aver
age annual increase for the past
three years. the levy the highest per-
mitted by the constitution and the per
cent Of collections equal to the average
per cent collected for the pist twelve
years. I have also taken into con-
sideration the probable increase in
the amount of fees that will come In
from the various departments; the
sum total. however does not equal In
amount the sum total of the appro-
priations.
Second. The income from present
laws available for the payment of the
expenses of the Agricultural college
and the Experiment station attached
thereto seem to me to be adequate to
meet all necessary expense. The fed
eral appropriation for the Agricultural
college is $25,000 annually. to the Ex-
pertinent station $4,000 annually;
tGA Inn h. nvHk 80
100000 acres to the Agricultural col
lege over and above the reservations
for interest and sinking fund to care
for bonds issued and authorized to be
issued, will amount this year to over
$4,000 and will rapidly increase each
year as the lands are sold; the special
2-10 of a mill tax, available for the
expenses of the Agricultural college
or any department connected there
with as the board of trustees may
direct, will this year amount to $4,000
and will increase annually as the val
uation of the state increases. The
total from all these sources exceeds
$4,000 annually, which amount will
increase and keep pace with the in
creased needs of this institution.
There are besides this. special appro-
priations to pay for the analysis of
foods, for the salaries and expenses
of holding farmers institutes, for the
salary and expenses Of the assistant
dairy commissioner. for the expenses
of the state veterinarian, for the ex-
penses of the geological survey, and
for the analysis of fertilizers.
Third. The substation at Edgeley
was established in 1898. The, people
of that community decided to the state
free of cost 100 acres of land as re-
quired under the terms of the act
establishing the station Since that
time comparatively nothing has been
done to carry out the provisions Of
that act. Until the sub-station estab-
lished ten years ago be made a sue
cess 1t would not be good policy to
establish others.
