THE WEATHER CALENDAR

The Chattanooga Medicine Co., the
manufacturers of Wine of Cardui and
Thedford's Black ,Draught have just is
sued the 1904 edition of their Cardui
weather chart and calendar. This calen-
dar with its 13 sheets 13x20 inches in
size makes a bright ornament for the
wall and is a useful acquisition in any
home or Office on account of its displayed
weather predictions. The prominent
number can be read across large room
as can the colored signal flags showing
the weather conditions for each day.
These weather signals illustrate the fore
casts of Prof. Andrew ]. DeVoe who
achieved great prominence by his accu-
rate predictions of the great Galveston,
st. Louis and Minnesota storms and cy-
clones. So great is the popularity of
these predictions that they are printed
in $500, 900 of these calendars and in
Is, ,OOO,O 900 of the Ladies Birthday Alma
macs which are issued by the Chatta-
nooga Medicine Co., each year. We
understand that copy of this weather
chart and calendar may be secured by
sending 10c. in stamps to the Chatta-
nooga Medicine Company, Chattanooga,
Tenn. Any of our readers who have not
secured copy of the Ladies' Birthday
can get one by sending their
address to Ladies' Birthday Almanac"
Tenn. or by calling on
heir druggist.

BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will
issue an elaborate Worlds Fair Folder
on the first of the year, giving full in
formation, with illustrations, of the
great Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis. Ticket offices on the entire
system will be furnished with all details
concerning the route to st. Louis, to-
gether with advance information concern
ing hotels and boarding houses.
The Baltimore & Ohio is the original
line from the east to st. Louis. Early
in 1927 the founders wished to connect
Baltimore and the seaboard, by the most
direct line westward, with st. Louis on
the Mississippi. From Baltimore to
Cumberland the line followed the old
national pike; then direct line was
built to Parkersburg on the Ohio River;
other companies built lines from Park
ersburg direct to st. Louis, and all of
these lines have merged into the Balti-
more and Ohio System, which forms the
most direct route between the East and
the West.
Solid vestibule trains run daily from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburg and Columbus to
Cincinnati and st. Louis.

SUSSEX TROLLEY LINE

The promoters of the proposed trolley
road are trying to get capitalists in Sus-
sex county to take at least 500, 900
worth OF bonds and the capitalists in
New York who are backing the project
are anxious for the people here to take
bonds so as to guarantee local interest in
the road. At present the promoters are
asking for nothing more than verbal
promise but as soon as the charter is
taken out the bonds will be ready to de-
liver and then Sussex investors will be
asked to buy. The bonds bear interest
at 5 per cent. and with the purchase of a
certain amount of bonds goes without
cost an amount of stock equal to one
fourth of the amount of bonds bought.
The bondholders therefore will be the
also, and besides getting
five per cent. interest on the bonds, will
get whatever dividends on the stock that
may be declared. One concern in Sux-
sex has promised to take $25, 900 worth
of bonds. The construction company
has been organized in New Jersey and
has taken out charter under the laws
of that state.

The health of the prisoners has been
excellent. Mention is made in the re-
port of the lynching of George White.
The total receipts for the year we're
$3S, ,5S0S0. The trustees ended the
year with about $4,000 in bank. During
the year $435. .73 bonus money was paid
the prisoners. Frank Chapman got the
largest amount, $780,.
Warden Meserve's report was also read.
This report showed number of prisoners
received during the year, 1894, discharged
1874, present December 1st, 1908, 1914.
The daily cost of prisoners was not quite
8 cents. The total earnings of the pris-
oners were $266921.
Shortly before court adjourned Mr..
Megginson moved that the court elect an
attorney for the year and nominated
Horace G. Knowles. The motion was
seconded by Mr.. Hopkins. Mr.. Knowles
received the unanimous vote of the court
and was therefore declared elected.

Fountain Pen Perfection
The Quaker City sslf-Filling Fountain Pen
fills itself and thereby fills q
long-felt want
Free Press

Free Press
Anv reliable time saver is eagerly well
coined by the modern business man. Pro-
bably the most forceful illustration OF this
condition of things in recent years was
the enthusiasm with which the fountain
peu was greeted. 1t seemed to mean the
saving OF 80 much time and annoyance
for so many people that its sale was SIM
ply phenoHiHal.
But the fountain pen was not by any
means perfect and its users soon discov.
cred that the bother was only concen-,
trated, instead of being dispensed with.
The finest fountain pen would write in
differently well as long as there was ink
in it but, when that gave out our busy
. man had to stop, unscrew an inky cap,
hunt around for filler and the particu-
lar ink recommended by the manufac-
turers of that particular pen and so on
through long process OF annoyance.
The manufacturers of the Quaker City
Self-Filling Fountain Pen have overcome
all this bother and produced practical
writing tool which is as easy to use as if
one were simply writing with the filler
needed for the old pen. There is moth
ing to unscrew, nothing to squirt, moth
ing to lose or get out of order. Its con-
struction is simple and substantial and
the operation Of filling it so simple that
YOU wonder nobody thought of it before.
1t is merely necessary to dip the pen
pressing it slightly, lift up as usual and
90 on writing. Its capacity is no less
than the bothersome kind.
We feel that we are not over-praising
the Quaker City Self-Filling Fountain
Pen when we saw that it represents the
acme of fountain pen achievement.

Castle County
MR.. HOPKINS LOST HIS CHECK

Philemma Chandler was reelected
president at the reorganization of the
Levy Court Tuesday morning. Before
the court convened the five Republican
members, Messrs. Hopkins, Chandler,
Megginson, Willis and Elliott went into
caucus when it was decided to elect Mr..
Chandler for a second term.
When the members returned to the
room, Mr.. Chandler moved that Mr..
Willis be elected temporary chairman.
The latter on taking the chair stated that
as customary the court would be reor-
ganized for the year and the first business
would be the election of a permanent
chairman.
Mr.. Megginson nominated Mr.. Chand-
Ter and Mr.. Hopkins moved that the
nominations be closed. Both motions
were seconded by Mr.. Elliott.
The election was unanimous. On leav-
ing the chair Mr.. Willis congratulated
the president on his reelection.
President Chandler took the chair and
in few brief remarks thanked the men,
bers for the honor conferred on him. He
said all members had given him their sup
port and help during the past year. He
would, he said, endeavor to use the pub
lie courteously. The reporters were
thanked for their faithfulness in report
ing the proceedings of the court. In
concluding he said the affairs of the
court will continue to be conducted in a
business like way.
All the members, as well as several
spectators, shook hands with the presi-
dent and congratulated him.

A large number of small bills were or
dered paid. Mr.. Hopkins stated the
last check he received for his salary had
been placed in his bank at Newport, but
with number of other checks had been
lost before it reached the Farmers Bank
here, where the county deposits are
made. He stated he had stopped pay
ment on the check and moved that
duplicate be drawn. This was done.
The amount of county money in bank
on January 1st was $2l5,415.4S.

CAMPERS VISITED BY BRUIN
GAME WITHIN SIX MILES OF
CITY HALL

To track to its lair and slay an inn
mense bear whose footprints measure
eight inches in length and four inches
across. three hunters STARTED out last
night up City Greek canyon. They
went armed with 30 30 rifles and pre-
pared 10 camp out several nights If
necessary
The first word of Bruins existence
SO close TO the city was brought i'm by
Land and Water Commissioner Beuja-
min d. Luce, who had made d trip up
City Greek for the purpose of clearing
the restricted district of q band of
campers. When Mr. Luce arrived where
the squatteTs had pitched their tents
Re found things i'm great confusion. He
also found that il was unuecesscSy to
order the campers off the premises.
They were only too willing to get out
before night fell. for they had been
visited the night before by the bear
whose hide the local hunters are now
seeking.
Mr.. Bruin made a bee-liHe for the
tent. There he made short work of
everything that seemed TO offer OPP
position. Two sides of bacon and Two
hams evidently served as an appetizer.
The bear liked fat and grease, for he
devoured without qualms as to his di-
gestive apparatus a large bucket of
lard which he smashed open with one
sweep of his paw. The side Of the lard
pail looked as though someone had used
an ak on 1t. The tent was torn by the
huge claws
All this took place just beyond the
forks, at a place passed every Sunday
by hundreds of people walking and
driving up the canyon.
