ANiIla
FEB ~,
DEAR Mr.. EDIroR.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR.
Would you please let me have q
little space In your paper to talk to
the Arvilla correspondent. This
Mr.. Man has been inserting things
In the columns of your paper that
have no true foundation and we wan,
to call his attention to the facts. He
had printed In the paper last weei
that Mont Swain had IS bird dog:
for sale and that they were al
sizes and colors. Now, any one
with any judgment would know
that there are no dogs the color OF
the rainbow. Now, Mr.. Swain has
two very nice little bird puppies,
bat they are not for sale, neither
are they all colors.
AS for Mooney Grim losing his
pigs feet that Is another mistake OF
the correspondents. Mooney de
clares that they were hogs feet and
that some one stole them.
Now we think the correspondent
had little to do to bring this sub
iect In the paper for Moneys
feelings are hurt bad enough by
having his hogs feet stolen, let alone
printing such in the paper. But
we people can look over the Ar
villa core spondent, for he Is
t,apper and he went to his trap one
morning and had a bug In one Of
his traps and 1t spit juice In his
eyes and he has been ratified ever
since. This correspondent went tc
Sistersville one day last week ane
when he went to get on the trair
at Bens Run he did not wait until
tho people got off but started to gel
on bat the conductor caught hin
by the neck and he thought 1t was
the police and he says, "Mr. Police
let me 60 I havn't done anything
Now for the Lord's,sske, fellow:don'
60 to writing any more slurs abou
your neignbors. Tell the truth as yor
90 along. OF course the people
around like to read the news, If II
Is true, and there Is another mis-
take we would like to mention to
the correspondent, he said, Mr.
Morgan was In the junk business
But 1t Is not true. Of course the
people of Arvilla knows what he
meant by junk Mr.. Morgan owns
a grist mill and saw mill, but
what the correspondent has refer
ence to, Is a set of trucks he got or
and 1t ran into the creek with him
and the wheels were lost, so It Is
supposed now thst If he had moi
taken the ride on the trucks, he
would not have said Mr.. Morgan
was In the junk business. So stick
to the truth fellow, stick to the
truth.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
CoIored Preacher Who Was Right at
Home on Any Text Sug-
gested.

As an old colored preacher who had been
conducting a revival meeting was reach
ing the end OF his series, relates the Indian
apolis News, he appeared before the con-
gregation one night and spoke thus:
Brethren and ~sistren, | come befo you
all wholly unprepared with my text. l hab
been preachin' all so'ts of things, and to
show the brethren and sistren that l have
not said all that | know, l will ask that
some membah of this congregation suggest
a subject and l will preach about 1T to
you"
For several minutes there was an embar.
RAISING silence while the minister scowled
over the top of his glasses, waiting Tor
some one to propose a topic. No one seemed
anxious to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity, until finally a little fellow IN the
back part of the church yelled out: Pills.
There was a smoker as the preacher cleared
his voice and said:
pills. l hab been requested by some
membah Of dis congregation to discourse
befo' you all on pills Now, brethren and
sistren, | am not familiar wld the ways OF
medicine for | am a preacher man, but as
l said | would talk on any subject that was
proposed, pills will be my text; Now, to
begin with, there are q%uinine pills, calomel
pills, big pills and little pills, and a thou
sand kind of other pills what the doctor 40
prescribe when the flesh am SICK, But
propose to talk to you about de KIND OF
medicine what de soul needs when 1t am
sick-'gospills.'"

on Business Principles

W
How many farmers to-day conduct
their business on the same accurate
principles as do men engaged in the
other occupations? From a close in
Quiry and observation, | am led to be-
lieve that not exceeding five per cent
of the farmers in this community keep
an account of their receipts and ex-
penses during each year. I was talk
ing to a very prominent business man
in Jul town quite recently on this sub
ject. He was also a large land owner
and prosperous in hat line of business,
but remarked that if | kept an account
with each crop, it was the only case
within his knowledge. This man is
considered a splendid, up-to-date
farmer, vet he could not tell what it
cost him TO raise an acre of tobacco.
This is not written as a reflection on
the intelligence of any farmer, but as
a d-isparagement of their business
methods. Brother farmer, what would
you think of that merchant in your
city, should O ask him ~confidentially
what his expenses were last year, who
would answer, wei really, l don't
know, it is too much trouble to keep
books?" Me thinks you would mental
ly class him with one of the soon-to-be
b%ankrupts. Farmers have simply not
been taught in their youth the necessi-
ty of keeping farm accounts. They drift
along, as did their ~progeaitors, in the
same old routine of doing things, judg-
ing only by the cash on hand, whether
the year 1909 was prosperous or ad-
verse. I do not offer myself as a proto-
type to my brothers who follow the
plow," but a glance at my ledger will
convince any mar which crop raised
on u farm last year did yield the
largest net income. Any farmer can do
this, who will only exercise a little
thinking and take the time.-Geo. A.
Groom, Princeton, KY, in Epitomist.

ARE STARS INHABITED?
By Seemingly Sound Reasoning
Scientists Conclude That
They Are Not.

The conclusions of modern astronomy
on the possibility of the stars be-
ing inhabited are somewhat as fol-
lows:
1t is impossible for any form of life
TO exist on a lucid star. 1t is possible
for life of a kind to exist on some of the
dark stars that are known to astrono-
mers. This possibility. however, is ex-
tremely remote. says DR.. Alex. ". Rob
erts, in Chambers Journal.
Lucid stars may be accompanied by
planets forming stellar systems similar
to our solar system. and life might exist
on such stellar planets. There is moth
ing in the wide range of astronomical
fact to negative such a possibility; but
there is also nothing in the whole circle
of astronomical knowledge to affirm the
existence of such planetary bodies.
1t is utterly impossible for life to eX-
ist on the moon. Novelists may discover
holes in which selenites hide. but science
turns these holes into graves and buries
the dead selenites in them.
1t is beyond our conception how life
can exist on any of the planets other
than our own, except two. The two
planets on which life might exist are
Mars and Venus. The soil of these two
worlds is solid enough to form a foot
ing for man and his inventions. The
air of both, though rare. is probably suf-
fcient to enable him to live and work.
There are times and seasons, day and
night. on both planets; certainly on
Mars. There are also mist and rain. sleet
and snow on both planets. Again we
say certainly on Mars.
There are high mountains and deep
valleys on Venus, vast plains and gil
gantic waterways on Mars.
There is much that would go TO make
a habitable world on both planets, only
as yet no trace of life in any of its forms
has been discovered on the surface Of
either Mars or Venus. 1t must be re-
membered. however. that the outlines
of no object less than so miles in diam
eter can be clearly. discerned on the
nearest of the planets, and thus human
beings may exist on either Mars or
Venus, although we are not able to see
them.
Well, but are there men on Venus or
Mars? some n may urge, and in true
Scottish fashion l pass on the question
and ask: What does the reader think?

NEEDS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
They Are Indispensable to the Girl
Who Wishes to Be a Social
Favorite.

Not only has the girl who wishes to
be a social favorite need of accom-
plishments, but either she or her
brother will find a business career pro-
NOTED sometimes by their iudicious
assistance. Accomplishments may
'soothe ones hours of ease and
therefore alone they serve their pur-
pose, says Harper's Bazaar. But be-
yond this they help one in novel
ways; they are the means to an end,
sometimes. No beginner in business
a afford to be called a butterfly;
on the other hand, if one is remark
ably proficient at dancing, in music,
even at skating or boating or in most
games of skill, such knowledge may
win attention and notice that is OF
value. One might recommend (ba-
You'd exercise which health requires)
more attention TO whist than to any
of these, having seen both young men
and women 'railroaded" by heir ell
ders into enviable positions. simply
because they were not fitted for them
"Odb0 NV law pCtA SulilNICI-
but, as well. because they played a
fine game of whist. Nothing in the
way of an accomplishment so attracts
the admiration of men of weight.
A knowledge of several languages
is part of ones education, scarcely
an extra" and its worth is recog-
nized. But any capability that calls
attention, without parade, to one
self is of value also. A Chicago mil
lionaire once advised a young lawyer
to join a certain golf club. The law
yer replied hat he could O afford
the necessary expense.

COTTON SEED PRODUCTS.
What Georgia in Showing in Cot
tOn-Seed mt the st.
Louis Worlds Fair.

The show feature of the Agricultural
palace at the Worlds fair in St. Louis,
which covers 20 acres, and contains the
agricultural products of not only the
states of the Union, but of all foreign
countries, is a fountain, the central
feature of Georgia's agricultural dis
play in block "A in practically the GEN.
ter of this large building. This foun-
tain is tastefully erected of staff work
and glass and flows eotton-seed oil at
a rate of so gallons per minute. The
fountain, as well as the four plate
glass columns surrounding it is bril-
liantly illuminated with ~different-col-
ored electric lights. Two of the col
umms are filled with different grades
of cotton-seed Oil, and two of them
with soaps manufactured from this oil
at Savannah.
A handsome showcase filled with
samples of how the Georgia products
of cotton-seed oil are put up for the
market. and other exhaustive feature
is a case kept filled with samples of
oil and cooked products, consisting of
cakes, pies, doughnuts, breads, roofs,
salads. ETC.. which is a delight to all
housekeepers when they realize how
much easier and more effective it is
TO have their shortening of purely vege-
table matter ard do away with any
rancid tastes and bad odors during hot
weather.
In our main cotton and cotton pro-
49,.
ducts show in block Is the Southern
Cotton Oil Co. has erected a large
pyramid showing the entire products
from a bale of cotton consisting of a
large cube made of cotton seed; the
one on top of this, of cotton-seed hulls
and which rests the cake and the meal
nde a table decorated with linters
and surrounded by globes of crude cot
tOn-seed oil. In this space is also
shown perfect samples of hulls and
meal put up in shipping form. There
IS probably NO other feature which
astonishes the inquiring public so
,na,ch as all these different products
being made from cotton-seed.
We often hear remarks from the
naouIe of the west to the effect that
~ this industry grows in the other
southern states with the magnitude
