Mr.. King says he has known
Sophrona since she was a little girl,
and has always done his best to help
her in every way he could: that she
lost her parents when she was quite
small, had considerable trouble with
her guardian, and finally was sent to
the home at Salem; that he has cor
responded with her since, and felt
free to advise her concerning her
welfare; and that he recognizes his
obligation and Is prepared TO meet

SUAL INTEREST,".

The Courthouse yesterday was the
scene Of what for a time promised to
be an argument that couldn't be ex,
actly classified as purely a legal
battle. The Rev. o. D.. King, pastor
Of the First ward M. E. Church and
Attorney Tusca Morris were the prin,
cipals, and Attorney Morris Office
the scene of the conflict. The dis,
pute arose over some financial diff.
culties Mr., King had gotten into. It
seems that about a year ago a Ger.
tain sophrona Walker. or Carmen
Walker. as she now styles herself,
came OF age, and appealed to Mr.
King as her spiritual adviser us 10
what measures she. had best take in
settling up of her affairs. The young
woman had but recently returned
from a five or six years residence at
the Industrial Home at Salem. Mr..
King advised her to get Mr.. Morris
to arrange details, and it was found
that after everything was straighten.
ed up she had about $1,000. Mr..
King offered to take $500 Of this and
give her note for It, paying It in
installments as. she required. A note
was accordingly drawn for three
years and indorsed by Mr.. Kings
brother. Last June, according to Mr..
Kings story, the girl wrote to him
from somewhere in Kentucky and
asked for some money. After some
correspondence between them, the
girl sent him the note and asked him
to keep 1t for her This was Sept Il.
About two months later Mr.. King re-
ceived a letter asking for the note.
He replied that he had mislaid it,
but that he recognized the obliga-
tion and would send her money. as
she might need it. The girls side OF
the story is that she sent the note
simply that the payment made might
be entered on II. After writing sew,
eral letters demanding the notes re.
turn, the young woman placed the
matter in the hands Of Attorney Nor,

Mr.. Morris went TO the minister and
had him draw note in the girls

CARE OF BRITISH TROOPS.
It h Reported That Officers Arc Very Much Dissatisfied with Their
 Uniforms.


 But, for some inscrutable reason, our soldiers appear to think their uniform is a badge of shame, or. at least. of servitude, says the London Truth. Any self-respecting officer, so far as I can see, would rather die at the head of a corlorn hope than go to theater oI Restaurant or a private ball full of reg mentals. A noncommissioned officer who sees a brother warrior privileged .o walk down ths street in plain clothes turns sick with envy. No soldier oi any rank seems to consider that uni form can enhance his attractions to the female eye, and the only way ir which have ever heard of ita being used for this purpose is by the humble. male admirer SO much an hour-t~o pence, I believe, the usual fee-foy walking out in company with him.
 What makes this the more strange is that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit ish army. In every foreign country soldiers-and officers most of all-seem to be extremely proud of themselves therein The effect of smart military uniforms in brightening up crowd, whether out of doors or at any evening assemblage, Is undeniable. As a mere matter of aesthetics most people will agree that 1t would be a decided i'm provement if uniforms were worn in Engiand as they are on the continent And from the merely professional point of view I cannot help thinking that it would be of advantage to the army if soldiers of all ranks were expected to take more pride in the kings livery, and not encouraged so much as they now are to consider 1t privilege to appear as civilians.

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
N Pays to Raise Them, Provided tho | Crop Is Disposed Of in the Right
 Way and Place.

Having been asked, by farmer sub scriber, if it will pay to grow berries for market, in reply I will say ''yes'- if the business is managed right, aud the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get if any. are second class-the overflow or refuse from the cities, where the market ts often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their ber- ries get ripe the demand is supplied. prices drop, and the berries being per- ishable product. have to be sold for what they will bring.
 My advice Is to grow berries for local market towns that are not we'll supplied. Such places can be found in the west; land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap, and, as rule. more reliable Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad men, shipping expenses, commissions. etc.. are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome. home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It Is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents a quart for pickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries. The pickers can make good wages. I have had boys and girls under 16 years old make dollar day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in day. I remember selling i've dollars worth of raspberries from one picking of one row the length of ten acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years ago, were not profitable, as SO many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable

Life a Burden

There are times when life seems a burden-when you are tired, worn-out, have dull pains in the head and continual feeling of uneasiness. You have no appetite, and your di- gestion is poor; your sleep broken, and you get no rest.
 Little annoyances seem great mountains of trouble, and you are blue, melancholy and given over to gloomy forebodings.
 This means low vitality-ex- hausted brain nerves.
 For this condition Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine is a spe- cifc; it is food for the nerves. It builds up the nervous sys- tenn, and restores lost energy. Try it to-day and see if your sleep is not sound and refresh ing, and the morrow brighter and more hopeful.
 'I am glad to announce that I have recovered my health, as far as my advanced age will permit, as I am 82 my nerves were all shattered. I suf- fered much pain and coldness; was so weak and felt so sad and lonely and heart broken. When commenced taking Dr. Miles Remedies I was com pletely prostrated.
