fault has been found with this
x,ass. because a tendency to

vantage. its real value is in
pasture rather than hay. 1t
akasds close grazing, is ready
earlier than others, furnishes
late pasture and is worthy OF
strong endorsement. Its chief
drawback is the high price OF

Do they call you 'scountrified?"
Let it be your Joy and pride,
You, who love the birds and bees,
Aud the whispers of the trees!
Trust me, friend Of flowers and

Equals being s'countrified.'
Up Of mornings when the light
Reddens on the mountain high ;
Hearing how the bird throats
swell
With the Joy they cannot tell;
Conscious that the morning sings
Like a harp with unseen strings
Over which the breezes glide;
This is being ''countriied.'
Roaming far, on summer day,
Or when the autumn woodlands
! blaze
Learning how to catch and tel
Natures precious secrets well;
Filled with sunshine, heart ant
i face,
Or where branches interlace,
Dappled like the shy trout's side
This is being "countrified.
What though little fit to pose
In the city's ways and clothes,
There is vastly more to love
In the brown of natures glo
Health and happiness and Ia.

Do you know how much it

Fulcher, man of giant physique, OIL
Wednesday terrorized the nurses ant
patients of the Virginia Hospital, in Rich
mond, and it was not until late Wednes'
day night that he was induced to return
to his bed, where he was securely strap
ped down. A few days ago, in fight
with Edward Burnett, Fulcher was shot
four times, three of the wounds being
very serious. The physicians so far
have not been able to extract the bull
lets, which are located in his stomach,
chest and hip. Fulcher is expected to
recover, the only danger being OF pneu-
monia in his wounded lung. The man
made an attack on Burnett in saloon
because he had seen the latter the day
before talking to Mrs. Fulcher, from
whom be has separted. Burnett was
getting the worst of it, and finally drew
a pistol, firing with the muzzle touching
the body OF Fulcher Even though
Fulcher was expected to die, the au-

1.-THE Martin Band Wagon"

This paper is not in the "Martir
band wagon" nor in any other politl
cal "band wagon" but is thoroughly
independent of politicians, times at all
times free to support the man in the
democratic party who seems at the
time most likely to advance the inter
ests of the state and country.
As to Senator Martin, it is un-
doubtedIy true that he has made one
of the most untiring and successful
representatives the state has had
since the war, at Washington, and be
is so regarded outside the state as wei
as within the state. So long as he
maintains this record, We do not SCI
the propriety in turning him out t
put in some other man simply be-
cause the other man wants the place
We are frank to say We know of only
one man in the state whom we would
support over Senator Martin at this
time, whose standing is such that be
would cut any figure in the race, and
that man is Hon. A. @. Braxton of this
city, but Mr.. Braxton we know is moi
a candidate. TStaunton Dispatch.

King QuarreIs with Prime Minister

King Quarreis with Prime Minister.
King Alfonso of Spain has had sharp
quarrel with his Prime Minister, Senior
Maura, about motoring. His majesty
has become a motoring enthusiast since
the lessons he recently received in drlv-
ing a smaIl-power car, and, unknown to
the Premier and his mother, he ordered
two magnificent cars from Paris at a cost
of $25, 900. The young king, on the
occasion of his visit to San Sebastian,
informed the Premier that he had decld'
ed to make a motoring tour through
Spain with his new cars. Senior Maura
exclaimed that such proposal was i'm
possible, and pointed out the grave dan
ger his majesty would run from risks
of accidents to the cars and from anar-
chists and other persons evilly disposed
towards his majesty. King Alfonzo,
however, persisted that be would make
the trip, and as a last resort the Premier
appealed to the Queen Mother. The
queen took the side Of the Premier,
whereupon the king, in burst of anger,
declared that even though he had to lose
the services of his Premier, he would
have his way.
