The Missouri mule keeps on
claiming attention. The st. Louis
Star a few days ago contained a
page article in reference to the
Mules of Missouri" There was
a picture of Queen, +" lately own.

a pair of "craekerjacks" owned by
B. r. Middletown of Mexico. The
Missouri mule has fame. Down in
Texas they ship their mules to
Montana for six months and then
slip them down South again and
endeayor to put them on the mar
ket as Missouri mules. But It
will be a long time yet before they
can counterfeit the genuine article.

Bryan in his COmmoner says he
does not urge Judge Parker's elec-
ton on the ground that he is the
regular nominee. That argument
lost much of its force eight years
ago when so many distinguished
Democrats bolted. The Commoner
presents a stronger argument. 1t
urges his election because his elec-
ton will insure some reform while
Mr.. ROosevelt's election promises

CHAINED, BOOKS or TO-DAY.
Though Rarely Net With They Are
still to Be Found in Some
Places.


According to book catalogues
and bibliOphiles, chained books are
rare relics of an early period
throughout the old world, but &C.
cOrding to human experience with
old bOOk-shOps, and with old book.
lovers, the chained book of another
kind is still to be encountered,
says the Indianapolis Journal.
"When you really want an old
book" said a brouser in second.
hand book-shOps, "try to buy it, if
you can, from the clerk in the old
bOok-shOp and not from the pro.
prietor. In an old boOk-shOp that
know was an old edition of
Pepys' Diary, which l had long ad.
mired and desired. 1t was in a
good old dusty corner and seemed
likely to stay there. One day, read.
ing that a new edition of Pepys'
Diary was to come out, made
cheerful haste to buy the the edi.
ton, fearing the new edition might
attract some buyer to these old vol.
umes in the darkest corner of the
darkest old bOok-shop.
"Well, sir, when that old scamp
of a bOokman learned that had
come to buy the Pepys' didn't he
go and open the books and nose
into them and hang over them and
finally tell me that he wanted to
look at old Pepys' himself for a
few days-and would send me
word when / could have him. Yes,
sir, he did that. I've been in twice
since and the clerk tells me that
Pepys hasn't come back yet; he is
out at the old bOokman's house.
There's a chained book for you.
III never see that old Pepys'
Diary again, and l ought to have
bought it from the clerk.
yesterday l met a nice old
Dutchman whom know, and he
had a grievance to tell which in
volyed also chained book.
"'WOt you tink.' he said, 4 know
some goot OF Dutchman an he

r. Fl Nichols, west of Mexico,

his wife was raised in this county,
and we look to see them back.
The brush and currycomb are
far less used on cows than they
are on horses, yet they are quite as
necessary to the animals comfort.
Who has not seen cattle rubbing
their sides against a fence or tree,
or their backs under some over
hanging limbsl 1t not only adds
to their comfort to rub them down
but it draws the blood nearer the
surface, so that the animal is bet
ter protected in winter. With the
same feeding a we'll groomed COW
will keep in good condition when
she would be scrawny and raw
boned if not regularly curried or
brushed.
While it is a fact well known
that one cannot deprive the soil of
its plant food and retain the value
therefrom at the same time, it is
apparent that what is taken away
must be replaced in some form,
with manure or fertilizers. How
the living" is made and the kind
of crops produced are matters to
consider. The only method out
side of direct purchase of plant
food is to save and return to the
soil all not consumed OH or sold
from the farm, and then grow green
manurial crops, to be turned un,
der whenever possible; but the
surest and best method is to pur-
chase fertilizers, use judgment in
the rotation of crops, and produce
those articles which bring the
highest prices in the market at the
least cost in the plant food from
the soil

The Guilford Battle Chapter of Daugh-

ted the 125 anniversary OF the battle OF
Gu;lford Court House, at meeting held
at the hospital home of Mrs. Lucy Moss
yesterday afternoon.
While there was no formal order of ex-
ercises arranged, the meeting IVES made
10 do historical service by the production
and reading of manuscript letters of ante
revolutionary date. which were treasured
heiI-lcoms OF members Of the association,
AID which really should be turned over to
Col. f. A. Odds. the father, or foster par
cnts OF the Museum of History at Raj
cigh. Among these letters was one writ
ten by Richard Randolph to his grandson,
Burt Randolph. The letter was written
from the Randolph home "Capwa," in
173S He was at that time q member of
the House of Burgesses of Virginia and
State Treasurer of the Old Dominion.
1t was related that the author was the
husband OF Anne Meade Boiling, fifth re-
moved from Pochahuntas. When ii is
realized that he was aosl grandfather of
the celebrated John Randolph, of Roa-
nokc. better idea of its antiquity and
value can be had.
letter written by the grandmother
of Mrs. Lucy Moss, in 1906. describing
the guest of President Jefferson, was
another interesting bit of history. Not
only the house ard grounds are carefully
