H. L, Messick, the tree ex-
pert. is about to furnish the Or
chardist of the southwest with
object lessons. He is going to
have an exhibition on wheels.
1t will be in the nature of four
carloads of trees made from
paper pulp and illustrating all
the different varieties of fruit
bearing trees in their various
conditions. The various pests
and growths that do them harm
will also be shown. The idea is
to show the farmer how he can
improve his orchard and make it
profitable. The railroads are
interested in the project and are
encouraging 1t. Mr.. Messick
has just returned from Wichita
where he prepared eport upon
the T. F. Burns orchard of 4UO.

A Joke.

We scarcely know whether
the following joke is on the
young ladies or the young gen
tlemen of Madison, but anyhow
it is too good to keep, though
we don't dare repeat names,
and we must tell it. The bat.
teries to the gasoline engine
have not proven very satisfac-
tory and we have been talking
of sending for an auto sparker.
The young man who attends to
the engine for us, told his sis
ter, who is one of our brightest
teachers, that the Times was
thinking of sending for a
"'sparlIer." "For goo d ne
sake she exclaimed, tell them
when they get their 'sparker
that | want to borrow it," Eyes
but this is an auto sparker'
rep.l d her brother. 20,
pshaw!" said the disappointed
young lady. Il don't want one
of that kind, for this town il
full of 'ought-to spark-hers,
but they don't, so there"-Mad
ison Times.
oh. well, as in the same col
umn and just above the Joke.

Early Marriages.

Here is a plea for early mar
riages, taken from the editorial
column of a religious paper:
1--WE believe that it will be
found that a much larger per
cent of those who marry late il
life become dissatisfied with
their new relations and appeal
to the courts for relief than
those who m lrry young" III
to certain aye affections are
dominant. bringing the thought
and habit of lite into sweet sub
lection. "A few years later
caution, not to say reason, be-
come stronger. Habit OF
life are more fixed; accomola-
ton and compromise are less
possible"
After all, why not cut it short
and say that ninety per cent of
div rceS are caused by pure
cussedness and selfishness.

While the poor must work for the

"The poor ye have with you al

but when "Disaster follows fast, and

mortgaged; health gives way; their
children have to leave school to be
put to WORK to keep the wolf from

schools to them?
You can levy the tax, but it will
not help to educate the poor mans

home because they haven't clothes

are born of as brainy parents as any

their full share of brains, they have

This is what is driving our people
to desperation. The newspapers are
full of it; the rich man is crushing

and thln, the governor having scored
the idea of government of
friends, bv friends, and for friends .
Senator Martin next scored ap-
plause by reference to the governor g
charge about being on the fence.
"He don't want anybody that strad-
dies, does he?" asserted the Senator.
"Well, why did he not sign that act
of the legislature to put the statue
of Robert E. Lee in the Capitol at
Washington? He would not take
the responsibility. Fitz Lee said,
Stand by your colors aud let that
statue be presented i gave out an
interview at the time, in which
said that the niche allotted to Vir-
ginia should remain vacant until the
statue of Robert K. Lee can be plac.
ed there" (Applause.)
THE PRIMARY ISSUE.
Returning TO the primary Issue for
another thrust at his opponent, Sena-
tor Martin said he had been nagged
to the limit by the people who would
not accept his iterations and reitera-
tons, that ne wanted the primary
plan to have full and fair trial.
"lf you are determined to make it an
Issue IN this campaign" said he,
turning upon Gov. Montague, "Wil-
liam a. Jones ought to be here rid
ing that horse. The First district
Congressman should be here today
wearing his spurs"
One of the stirring incidents of
the day occurred just as the int
debate was about coming to close.
Senator Martin had several times re
ferred to himself as department
runner" quoting from the governors
Spotsylvania speech.
81 never said it," declared the
governor.
"You never said it," declared Sem
ator Martin. "You never said it?
Why it was reported in your speech
es by several stenographers who were
the best could hire. You never
said it? Then why did you allow
the statement to go uncontradicted
in the public press for one month,
for two months? 1t was due to me
and it was due to yourself for you TO
raise your voice before this late hour"
The Senator concluded with
beautiful tribute to the ladies in the
gallery and with statement about
his attitude in the canvass. "I want
to win on my own strength" said he,
"not on the weakness of any other
man."
The candidates passed out of the
lnclosure without greeting each 9TH
er. They did not speak in conversa-
tion during the day. In rain the
candidates started Oh the drive to
fredericksburg, arriving at 8 p. m.
Most of them remained there for
the night Gov. Montague went on
to Washington.
In closing his account of the de-
bate the Free Lance reporter says
this:
Thus ended a debate that makes
the celebrated Spotsylvania speech
Insignificant, and which will be re-
ferred to by Democrats, young and
old, for some time to come, and it all
occurred at King George G. H., twenty
miles from any railroad.
Lieut-Gov. Joseph 4. Willard was
loudly called for, and in his ten min
utes' speech was enthusiastically re-
ceived. He made many friends by
his visit and he will carry the county
by good majority.
Senator Martin will carry King
George by very large majority.
