Troy Chapter.

Notwithstanding the very indictment weather. quite a number met at the home of the President, Mrs F. s. Wood, Saturday afternoon, Feb. IS.
 This was a called meeting, as the Tuesday preceding-the regular date for meeting-had been so stormy, no one but the ever faithful president. whose enthusiasm no storm can dampen when the cause she holds so dear is concerned, had braved the ele- ments.
 The work of the chapter has been somewhat retarded on account of the long spell of disagreeable weather, but in spite of all this the reports at this meeting were encouraging.
 The report of the retiring president was read and the money from the Hob son lecture. amounting to a neat sum, was turned over to the chapter to be delivered to the financial committee of Pike County monument fund.- for whose benefit this entertainment had been given. The report also showed that the contribution of fifty dollars promised by the Troy Chapter to the monument fund had been given to the veterans At their request, the chap ter assumed the responsibility for the remainder of the sum necessary to erect q monument monument fund committee with Mrs. l.. M. Bashinsky chairman was appointed and with this able committee the chapter feels con- fident that the necessary sum will soon he realized. The presidents report and that of the treasurer for the past year was most satisfactory.

HOW TO DOUBLE FARM PROFITS

The hos farmers and breeders want
large litters CT pigs; cattlemen, big
calves: horsemen. big colts; sheep
men, strong lambs. They all want
them to come with large frames, well.
developed bones, muscles, tendons.
and well-rounded form of lean meat
With these conditions coed health, q
rugged constitution and great activity
always are present. IL these condi.
tons are followed with proper feed
and skillful feeding the result is the
young stock comes to an early maturi.
y with large frame structures, built
lpon strong bones, muscles and ten.
ions, and the final result is that when
the time comes to finish out these
youngsters they have the strength Of
frame and body to carry the meat and
tat that rounds out their forms aad
makes large animals of their several
kinds that bring top prices on the
markets. On the other hand, the ami
NAL born with small bones, fiabby
muscles and tendons inherits a weak
constitution and makes a second-class
animal that sells at way-down price.

 Three young girls accompanied the negress, one of whom Is believed to be white person. No charge was made against them.
 Acordfng to Mir. Mccain, Lulu White sought to make affldavits for the girls which he would not permit. He says he soon learned thaK the girls thought they were going to New York and when informed that they were going to New Orleans they began to cry This an gered the White woman. who, MT. Me- Cain said, became boisterous and pro- fame.
 Lee County was the scene of the in- cident and consequently Recorder Ar rington could not hold the woman. When she was dismissed by the Re- corder Constable Boiling Young imme- diately arrested her on warrant sworn out by Quarantine Supervisor Walter Brassell before Justice M. H. Screws, alleging a violation of the quarantine laws.
 The woman had employed counsel but she remained some time at the county jail Finally she appeared be- fore Justice Screws and waived exami- nation. Her bond was fixed at $250 to answer to the next grand jury, which she made.

 Preferable.

Paris, Sept. 27.-M. Love1and. minis ter of foreign affairs of Norway. today gave The Temps Christiana corre- spondent an authorized statement. He said Norway would take steps to secure an early recognition by the powers. This recommendation would cover Nor ways independent sovereignty without reference to the question of the Gov ernment's status as a monarchy or a republic. which would be subsequently, dBtermined
 Y Concerning the offer of the throne to Prince Charles of Sweden. M. Loveiand said:
 'The storthings offer still operates as it has not been formally and ofFi- cially rejected But Norway will not make a second offer nor can we indef- niteiy wait for an answer from King Oscar. If we do not receive a response very soon we shall consider ourselves relieved and turn elsewhere. Prince Charles of Denmark would then be the most available man. through language and nationality. Prince Charles of Sweden would have received an enthu- siastic welcome had he accepted the throne. He would still be welcome. but the people still are no longer enthusi- astic."
 Asked what fo-.n of Government Nor way would adopt If the monarchy is abandoned. M. Loveiand answered:
 We shall have to choose between three kinds of republics; First. a monarchial republic like France, where the president is virtually king, with fixed term: second. an absolute repub- lie like that of the United States, where the President Is autocratic in power, and. third. Democratic repub- lie like Switzerland. This last satis- fes US best and we shall undoubtedly adopt it."
 M. Loveland read and approved the interview.

 Speaking of peculiar names for an- imaIs," said a travelling man last night, T know man who owns no less than twenty five teams in connection with a large farm in the Blue Grass section, and he has fifty horses He tries to name them all atfer prominent charac- ters in the Bible. Several were mares, and with the second crop of colts he found himself in dire straits. He was not cfiurchgoeer. in fact, l don't sup pose he ever was inside of a church. and his knowledge of Biblical names was a trihe limited.
 With his second crop of colts he turned to Shakespeare for his names. Finally he sold several horses, but he still retains his twenty-five teams, and the neighbors have great sport over the curious combination of names.
 " Ed I heard him saying to his hired man one morning. I wish you would hitch Moses up with King Lear and lead NebuchadnezZar down for a new pair of shoes. Coming back turn FalstafR out in the lower pasture. He's getting pretty thin, and before you go you might give Solomon feed"
 At fjmes he has Hamlet pIodding along dusty roads besides Adam. Eve is often harnessed with Henry VIII His neighbors have never been able to learn how he keeps all the names straight. but he evidently succeeds"

Iron Prices.

The price of iron has made slight advance and while sales are somewhat quieter the market is still strong. No. foundry Is now quoted at $12.b0, rise of 50 cents per ton. Iron masters are not sure that this price will hold, as recent very heavy purchases, some even going over to 1908 delivery, lead to the belief that consumers are stock ing up we'll The stocks on the yards have been almost completely wiped out.
 The present month has been a record breaking one in the matter of sales and it Is now believed that the total sales of the month in this immediate district will reach 26o.000 tons. The situation as a whole Is most satisfactory from the viewpoint of the iron masters.
