tournament this week. For two years

Wilson Mccain, who left here a
couple of months ago in company with
Wilbur L. Drury to look over the country
in Virginia. returned home last week.
He gave close attention to the questions
of land, crops, climate and conditions
socially with the result that before re-
turning he completed the purchase of
about 40 acres within about twenty
miles of Richmond and expects to re-
move there with his family in the fall.
Mr.. Drury did not close any deal while
down there but is understood as having
an option on three desirable farms in
same locality. Both speak in high terms
of the hospitality extended them by J.
McPhail and family, where they spent
much of their time while in the south.
By the way Mac is making quite a
name for himself along the line of awak-
ening his new nieghbors in the south to
the active practical ideas of the energetic
northerners.

truly a farmer, or at least

truly farmer, or at least is
a disgraceful one if he does not walk on
the streets when accidentally in town,
with his shoulders extending about an
inch above his head. He would also
dread to walk in step with another for
fear of appearing like soldier. These
are only few of the quaint and false
opinions of these classes, but think they
are sufficient to induce US to mutual re-
spect between classes and to know
that there is nobility in the town and
also in the country. And it is often
true to say that a noble character gets
its first formation either at the plow or
OF at splitting rails while it can be
more extensively developed by going to
to town. where all educational institu-
tions are found.

Town and Country.

Editor Courier Democrat =
Yesterday during language class for
the fourth grade heard an amusing
discussion. had few days before
asked the boys of that class to discuss
which they preferred, "The Town or the
Country?' They chose their own sides
so that | could we'll have reason to expect
a remark that was actually made. After
school it was asked "Why does our friend
chose to speak for the town boy? What
does he know about the town? The next
day the question was all ablase and my
object was attained, viz: That of awken-
ing their interest, to express their own
views on subjects and also of finding a
means for greater proficiency in their
learning of language. was surprised to
see how each understood the feelings
that existed between the lower classes
of both town and country. | am wont
to believe, however, that they merely
showed the wrongs existent and did not
interiorly uphold bigotry inherited from
parents or surroundings, and though l
felt confident these boys had within
them that magnanimous and noble
feeling which their parents are prepared
to inculcate in them. thought it a tit
opportunity to give them marked re-
lief map of what ones opinion and re-
spect should be for town and country
All these boys expressed of the selfish
ness of some of the town or country
is precisely faults for which | have had
to contend with others since my youth
and this is the reason | wish to make a
passing remark to the addresse of those
whose selhshness and jealousy makes
them sneer at others who are not exact
ly of the same condition as them. Many
have to contend with the false town
"rot.' who deems the farmer, or one who
has not had the opportunity to obtain a
better education. to be so far below
him that he must turn his back to them
or if he looks at them it is with an air of
impudence such as the foolish towns
man with his hat on the corner of his
head and Jewish cigarette in his
mouth alone can do. Happily. however,
this is only the specimen of the low town
class and our pleasure is to find prob
ably the most elevated and most cult
vated class in the same towns. Another
typical class is to be found among the
country folks. This type will look upon
any person dressed a little better than
If he were in the field as an idle person

Late Tuesday afternoon the state

The Langdon ball team found itself in
some pretty lively company when 1t
went to Milton last Thursday In the
forenoon they got beaten by the local
nine, the score being 5 o3, 1t is not a
bad record, however. when the fact is
taken into consideration that the Milton
lineup was strengthened by such fast
outside players rs Slette, Flanagan and
johnson. In the evening Langdon had
the satisfaction of winning game from
Crystal when the score sheet showed
our boys gathered in 5 runs and only
allowed the other fellows z. Milton also
won game from Crystal the same after
noon. Last Thursday WAS certainly a

Also, How an Umbrella suppIanted
Wireless Telegraphy.
The natives Of the West Coast of
Africa have little need for wireless
telegraph, according to a story told
by missionary at the rooms of the
Presbyterian Foreign Board. Talking
OF the susceptibility of the native
African to rythm he told this Incl
dent: The Africar always calls the
people together by means of a drum.
The drum varies in size, but is always
made by following out section of
log. The drum not only tells the peo-
pie of the meeting, but its purpose as
well. The news which may be thus
sent Is astonishing. On one occasion
missionary was in the Palaver
House at Efulen, at some distance
from his home. A rainstorm came up
and he had no umbrella. A drummer
learning his need, tapped = message
to friend and in short time the
latter appeared with an umbrella. The
natives have no alphabet and an UNI
brella is not usually in the require
ments Of palaver. How, then. did
the drummer make himself under
stood? During native wars the gov.
eminent has to prohibit the use of
drums as the natives are able with
them to send news from one village to
another.
