The Journal this week goes on In
quite a long article about taxes In
this county being higher the past
year than before. If the Journal
man will 20 to the court house and
examine the county records he will
find out that county taxes had to
be laid higher to pay the old debts
contracted by the Republican coun-
ty court. Farther, he will find
only few months before the Re-
publican county court was voted
ont of control this county had be-
tween twenty and thirty thousand
dollars In the treasury and 1t would
be interesting reading to know
what became of all that cash and In
addition to that the republican
court ran debts up aggregating
over ten thousand dollars. II we
had not elected Democrats to take
charge f the affairs of the county
we would have to have issued Dor DIS
to pay the debts County taxes
are higher but they were laid high
err to pay Republican debts with.
We challenge any successful con-
tradictiou OF these statements.

ure of trains should be posted as the
law requires and as Is done at al
most every other station along the
line. The company should have
more men here to do Its work, should
pay them better wages, and the
telegraph department Is something
fierce. A man had telegram here
sometime since announcing the
death of a near relative but 1t laid

few people use the telegraph ser

far out of the city and because it Is

when you ask for the sleeper at the

goes. We are not blaming any one
particularly but some one or many

Elsewhere appears communica

Elsewhere appears a communica'
ton explaining why the Court
Court did not build a county road
from this city to Friendly. The
reason seems to be on account OF
the landowners demanding such
big money for right OF way. We
did not criticise the court. 1t has
the right to do as 1t thinks best.
We do not particularly care. BY
August we can 60 to Friendly In an
electric car, so do not need coun.
ty road, The court could If 1t
really wanted to build this road
have condemned a right Of way
and got 1t for possibly very low
price and If the damages were too
high the court could abandon
the road after the commissioners
made their report. As our friend
says, the court has done many
good things. 1t has. 1t has also
In our judgment done things that
are not good. The court refuses
and delays to pay Its bills which Is
not right nor honest. People have
a right to be paid when the work
Is done and It's not honest to Com.
pei them to walt on their money
for months. If this policy Is carried
on people will simply have to
charge more money for work and
material. In many counties now In
this State, prices are doubled up
because they have to walt months
and some times years to get an or
der. The Court Is young In the
business, has much to learn, but Is
no doubt trying to do It's whole du'
ty as they see 1t. There Is but lit
tie complaint made against 1t and
Its actionswill compare favorably
with other counties. 1t might be
much worse than 1t Is.

In the report of the recent decis-
ions of the Supreme Court of our
State are two cases from this county
The first one Is In regards to laying
a steam line across our pavements.
The court decides very fully what
a city council can do with pave
ments. This law should be en-
forced. If 1t Is not some day we
will have big damage suit and we
will lose. Merchants are allowed
to use the pavements here about as
they please. Buildings are erected
on the pavements. Veraudas built
out over the sidewalks. In fact, If
anybody wants to use the sidewalks
for any purpose they do All
should read this opinion by the
highest court In Our State aud then
enforce the law.
The second case is about an oil
lease. Dr.Rymer and his son, Frank,
owned large tract of land In the
'sJug." Bennedum leased the land
for oil. He leased the Doctors land
and the land owned by Frank all

the land that Frank owned individ.
ually. The heirs of the doctor
claimed as all the land was leased
under one lease the royalty should
be divided half and half between

says not. Mr.. Frank Rymer gets
all the oil produced under his land
and his fathers estate nothing un.
less oil Is found uude: the land he
owned. The case involves a good

HuMJJs IN THE ORCHARD.

1t is an important point in farm
ing to preserve the humus in the soil
where there is no humus. Humus has
a value distinctive from that of the
fertility it contains. 1t holds moist
ure in the soil and also holds some
forms of fertility. To increase it in
the orchard a good way is to grow
legumes Of some sort and pillow them
under at stated seasons. Not only
does the cultivator thus increase the
humus in the soil, but the nitrogen
is increased as it has been caught
from the air by these plants. Some
follow the practice of not blowing or
spading under the green crop, but of
moving and leaving it on the ground.
But to our minds this is a very in
ferior way of getting the good of de-
caying humus. The air must in that
case rob the crop mown of part Of
its fertility, especially the volatile por-
lions. Moreover, the roots in the
ground cannot get hold of this decay
ing vegetation, and we see little
chance of their benefting by it. We
believe that by all means the crop
should be turned under in some way.
The soil will then grow more perfect
in mechanical structure from year to
year and the roots will always be able
to get into touch with the humus and
the fertility and the moisture in it.

SIGNING THE DEcLARATIoN INDEPENDENCE

the people honored it accordingly, with
people are now convinced of what we
ought long since to have known, that
our enemies have left us no middle
way between perfect freedom and alb
ject slavery" was the fearless COM
ment of the New Jersey Gazette as
soon as news came that the Declara-
ton of Independence had been signed.
The temper of the country was ably
expressed in letter written from Phil
adelphia by John Adams on July 3,
1776, and this letter was frequently
published in succeeding years by those
editors who were warm admirers of
the second President The more patri-
otto sentiments of the letter are:
yesterday the greatest question was
debated which was ever debated in
America, and greater. perhaps. never
was or will be decided among men.
A resolution was passed without one
dissenting colony, That these colonies
are and of right ought to be free and

The Fourth of July. l7TG, will be a
memorable epoch in the history of
America. l am led to believe that it
will be celebrated by succeeding gen

as the day of deliverance by solemn
acts of devotion to Almighty God. 1t

PRuNING

Few of the old orchards have been
properly pruned. The chief trouble
has been that the pruning has been
spasmodic. The farm orchard is
usually pruned but once in several
years and then so severely that the
trees for year or two are thrown out
of balance, a condition manifested by
great growth of water-sprouts. The
proper way to prune is to begin when
trees are young and prune only
enough to train and head the tree to
the desired form. And then as the
trees come into full bearing, little
pruning is needed, if done yearly,
aside from heading in long growths.
training the branches, and removing
crossed, crotched and weak branches.
Late winter, February and March, is
the best time to prune. The wounds
should be made as near as possible to
the tree trunk and parallel with it and
not beyond the bulge and at right
angles with the branch, as is so COM
monty done. An old and a good rule
is, ''prune strong growing trees lightly
and weak growing ones severely

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by DR.. Hartman---How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anaemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want OF
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of iuvalids are produced as
direct result of weak nervous systems,
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes in
creased nutrition for the nerve centres.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
vors of life vitality which creates strong,
steady nerves, and in this manner fortihes
and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in a
recent letter from, ia Alabama street,
writes: ITO a society woman whose ner-
vous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack of rest and irregular meals,

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used off and on for twenty years. Such a
tanned any drugs of narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are Pc
culiarly liable to inflammations Of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of wis
dom to learn how to treat them short and
in the easiest and quickest manner. Pc
runa does this by'its peculiar power over
all forms of catarrhal troubles.

plunged by the death of Washington,
in December, 1799 Among the toasts
at several banquets was one, repeated
from July a, 1900, and worthily called
sublime by the editors of several
newspapers: washington, our late
file leader: May we follow him in slow
time to the permanent cantonment, and
be all found near his headquarters at
the final roll CALL"
In the death of Washington the citi-
zens mourned the loss of one who
stood out most prominently as the
chief exponent of all that the day
meant to them. True, Thomas Jeffer-
son, Benjamin Franklin, and many
other eminent patriots were never for
gotten by the diners who, toward the
close of the day invariably sat down
to a Sumptuous feast, and drank as
many toasts as there were States in
the Union. All were held in grateful
memory, but Washington, their gallant
General of the Revolution and the hero
of many battles, was truly first in the
hearts of his countrymen."
1.-THE memory of George Washington.
When we forget to speak of his vir-
tues may our tongues cleave to the
roof of our mouths" was one of the
toasts at Portland, Me-, and it was
responded to in silence and with bowed
heads, all the company rising from
their seats.
Following the death of Washington
the seat of Government had been
moved from Philadelphia to it's perma-
nent home, named to perpetuate more
clearly the memory of the founder of
the Nations line of Presidents. Just
103 years ago the first Inauguration of
a President took place in the town and
the small population prevented the
National holiday from being so joyous
or jubilant in character as was the
custom in the larger seaboard cities.
President Jefferson. however. gave, as
the newspapers stated, "a grand levee
which for splendor and briAiancy has
not been exceeded since the removal of
the Government to this place." As the
Government had been domiciled there
less than two years, it was not difficult
to exceed former splendors.
1t is interesting to notice, in study
ing this memorable day, that its inn
portance was recognized at once. and

One of the most interesting exhibits
among the many of all kinds at the-Louis-
lana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis rs
that of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, of New Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day of the fair, fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind it. 1t Is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating
Arms Company to show at their exhibit
the high development which they have
reached in the making of guns and ammu-
milton, and one needs only to see the ex-
hibit to realize how near to perfection
that development has come. There can
be seen the new automatic repeating rife,
all kinds of shotguns, the modern smoke
less powder shotgun shells and rifle car
tridges; in fact everything that can interest
the devotees of hunting and trap and tar
get shooting. Don't fail to see the EXHIBIT
at the Manufacturers and Fish and Game
Buildings. It's well worth your while.

DECREE OF. TALMuDIc LAW.
Wives of Jewish Soldiers All Given
Conditional Divorce.


According to the Jewish World, a
Tery touching editorial appeared in a
recent issue of the Hebrew Daily
Hazefrah of Warsaw, Poland, where
he editor, Mr.. Sorolow, calls atten-
ion to the Talmudic law which re-
Iuires every married man before go
ng on the battlefield to grant con-
iitional divorce to his wife, that she
may remarry If he does not return
within a reasonable time after the
end of the war
The rabbis Of Lodz have caused all
The Jewish soldiers that left that city
for the seat of war to grant such di-
yorces, and Editor Sorolow suggests
that the example of Lodz should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or
reserve, registers with a rabbi his
name, address, age, height, birth
marks, name of company and regi-
ment he joins, and the rabbi keeps a
record of same until the soldier re.
turns frem the war.
II reasonable time after the close
Of the war elapses and the soldier
does not return, he is counted among
the lost and unidentified dead, and his
wife obtains the divorce from that
rabbi granting her the right to re.
marry.
