PARTITION OF TIN CANS.
Good Use Army Surgeon in Philip
pines Made OF Refuse.

Piuc3 "aQe OF HGtuBes
A new use has been found for old
tin cans. Capt. Robert. an army sur
geon. attached to a command In Sa-
mar. in the Philippines. discovered it.
An account says: THE hospital at
Borongon was native two-story
house. the best in the place. but with
cut partitions. 1t was desirable that
there should be an operating room
separated from the other rooms. but
IL was impossible to obtain lumber
for the necessary partitions. 1t oc-
CURED TO Capt. Robert to utilize the
tin cans which had been emptied of
hard tack and other portions of the
army ration. A lot of tin cans were
trimmed and cleated into square
sheets and these were then nailed on
framework. In this way enough ma
terial was obtained TO partition OF a
practically metal-lined. dust-proof
room nine feet by twelve, which was
then fitted with a washstand. steriliz-
ing tables and shelves for dressing. all
of which, together with the door, were
made by men of the command from
odd bits of lumber picked up on the

"oreen" Has Arx.o Root.

Owing to its derivation the word
green" was originally applied to the
color OF vegetation. but not to the
color Of the sea. No application Of
green" TO the color Of the sea is
quoted before Chaucer. but as early as
the year 700 It was used for vegeta.
ton. The word is akin to grass" and
grow" which verb originally belong
ed to the vegetable world alone: veg
etables grew" but animals "waxed." :"
Green" comes from an Aryan root.
''ghahr." meaning to be green or yell
low. and Fellow" gold" and "yolk"
come from that same root.

MARKETING porAro CROPS.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad transportation. is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle Of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence OF the farmers
OF the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket large in Boston and the adjacent
fhickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes alw IS az a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put OF the truck farms of Michigan.
their normal market being obtained in
and throush Detroit and Chicago and
other communities OF that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantitie TO place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had TO
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even theB could not dispose of them
unless TIL Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced Its already low rate. which It
did. BY means OF these low rates.
making possible low prices. the potato
crops OF both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes. and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads. had they been applied
to the movement OF all potatoes at all
times. 10 all places. they helped their
patrons to ind markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in It's revenue from potatoes.
but II enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. II the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustmeni such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken.
because 1t is wen established that II
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company It cannot be restored through
the red tape OF governmental proce-
dure II the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected TO governmental limi-
tation they would have felt Obliged to
keep mp their rates as do the railroads
OF France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot. r. han ~.

Religious Revival at Bogue ChittO.

Bogue Chitto, Miss, Oct. s.
The past eight days have witness
ed grand revival of religion in
the Methodist church of Bogue
Chitto.
Rev. D. E. Kelly, the beloved
pastor, was assisted in these ser
vices by his friend and Co work
er, Bro. Dominick, of Liberty,
Miss.
Many thanks are due Messrs.
Forman and Montomat, who con-
tributed much to the meeting of
their musical talent.
Two services were held daily,
one in the afternoon, to enable
the school children to attend this
service, and again at 7::30 p. m.
Despite the inclement weather,
the sacred edifice was crowded
nightly, showing the spirit of God
was among the people. Many
denominations were present and
! the meeting proved to have brok-
en- all annals on record in. our
town. Age and youth kneIt to-
gether at Gods altar to ask His
mercy, which was graciously be-
stonwed.
Sunday brought the meeting to
a close and Oct. 1, 1905, will long
be remembered as red letter day
I in the hearts of the people here.
To many parents it was day
Of rejoicing.
Bro. Dominick chose Faith
as his subject for the morning ser
vice; the program mapped out for
the evening service was baptismal
service and a love feast. The
church could scarce accommodate
the congregation.
One of the grandest sights ever
witnessed was the number Of ap-
pIicants into the fellowship of the
church and Christ. The line ex-
tended on both sides Of the aisle
from the entrance of the church
to the altar. After partaking of
the love feast Bro. Kelly called
for testimonies and these poured
forth from the gray haired grand
parents to the grand children. It
was not only a rich shower Of
blessing, but deluge. At night
God was again, with US. Bro.
Dominlck's sermon was on the
Judgment Day. Before closing
this service seven came forward
to join the church, making the
number Of accessions 60-23 BY
baptism and 20 by VOWS, IA by
letter and one restoration.
May the good work begun con-
ltinue forever and aye.

AID DVERTISING PAYS.
An Advertisement, Correspondence
and i Wedding.

AT the White House, last We'd
nesday afternoon just after the
train went down Mr.. G.. II. Bat
tison, Of Monticello, was married
to Mrs. Dora Merritt, OF Cincin-
natl, Ohio, Rev. John r. Hemby,
of this city, officiating.
We know not how much of ro-
nance lent its radiant glow to the
travel worn bride who iourneyed
with her haIf.grown daughter all
the way from her Ohio home, to
meet her affinity ii this land Of.
stegomyias and foci; or how
much Of Hope, like the taper's
cleaning light adorned The hith
erto wretched way Of the BRIDE
groom, and his accompanying
daughter; but this we do know
that the marriage was success,
and that it was brought about BY
the power Of the press that
versatile genius OF our times that
reaches out through every avenue
Of life, with all its interests, its
theories, it's yagaries and its all
lurements and lends a hand to the
necessities Of every occasion.
Realizing this, beyond the ken Of
most people who live and die 10
single blessedness, these two fond
hearts met in the advertising col
umns of a newspaper and were
vanguished by the blind god ere
they themselves had beheh each
other. And now we are sure the
happy pair unite with us, as We
embrace this very appropriate oc-
casion, to again remark as oft
we've done before on less signal
events, that advertising pays, =
and will pardon us if we say fur
ther that whether it is a wife or
a husband, home or a help want
ed, you can get it in the columns
of live paper.

received full return for advertis
I ing matter, are now costly at

The chief complaint as we UNDER

trarily took the collection of the
commutation money out of the
hands of the contractors and then
didn't exercise proper diligence
in collecting it, by which they are
losers to the amount of ten or
twelve thousand dollars.
