Home AGAIN.

The editor and Mrs. Manning IT.
turned home Friday from their Wes-
tern trip, after an absence OF five
weeks. There was no accident OF any
kind to any OF the trains We Travelled
on nor was the weather at any time
unfayOrabie for travelling or sight
seeing. In this we considered our
selves extremely fortunate when there
were wrecks on the lines in front OF
us and behind us and floods and
washouts preceding and following
the dates of our travel only by few
days or a few hours. At point in
Colorado our train was delayed -
hours on account of a wreck 13 miles
ahead of us in which four coaches of
a heavily loaded passenger train were
derailed and turned over down All
embankment, but without serious
accident to any one, however.
We Travelled in 20 States and Ter
ritories, covering a distance of sever
al thousand miles-between 1000
and 5000, probably-North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tories, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Ida
no, Oregon, Iowa, Illinois. Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee.
OF these Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Indian Territories and Utah the
writer had not pressed the soil OF be-
fore.
1t is a great country-this splendid
domain in which we live-brOad in
its magnificent expanse OF territory,
rich in itsnatural resources, limitless
in its future possibilities. 1t does one
good to get away from home occa-
sionally-to travel, to see, and learn.
1t enlarges his views and makes him
a more patriotic citizen to know more
about the country in which he lives.
st. Louis, thousand miles away,
is hardly a third of the distance to
be Travelled across the continent when
it is reached, and the border OF Colo
RADIO is only half way That is from
North Carolina Taking the extreme
eastern coast of Maine as starting
point and drawing a line straight
across to the extreme Western Dor
der of California, the figures would
be materially changed-the distance
would be greater. But neither fig
ures nor written language are as i'm
pressive as seeing for ones self. A
person cannot realize how big a coun-
try this is until he gets out and sees
it. Then he can appreciate the force
of what the young man wrote back
to his folks when he had Travelled a
few hundred miles from home: "This
old worlds a whopper, it's just as
big this way as it is tother.'
But we only started out to say
that we are home again and we are
glad to get back.

Minks PLAY Havoc With Chickens.

Mr. W l.. Garlick, who lives in the
Western edge OF town, has been miss
ing his chickens by the wholesale
lately, and he had come to the con-
clusiOn that systematic night raids
were being made upon his hen house
by means of n key. They disappeared
regularly to the number OF about 30
in all and still no signs Of the thief
could be detected. Mr. T. I. Marrow,
Il near neighbor, had been having he
same experience. Sunday Mr.. Car
lick s little son saw mink about the
premises and shot at it severaltimes.
The mink ran under pile of wood at
Mr.. Marrow's. Having exhausted
his supply of gun shells young Gar
lick went over to Mr. Alex Cheek $ to
borrow some. When he learned the
purpose for which they were wanted
Mr.. Cheek got his gun and went back
with him. A number of persons had
been attracted to the scene in the
mean time and seige was laid upon
the wood pile. A mink ran out and
Mr.. Cheek shot and killed it. By this
time several dead chickens had been
| found and more wood was thrown
| off. Another mink ran out and es-
capped to the stable He was pursued
and killed by Mr. Cheek, while third
one shared a like fate. Under anoth-
er pile of wood still another was
found and dispatched by the same
anerring marksman, making four i'll
all tO his credit
A full half hushel of dead chickens,
1O6 in all, of frying size, were found
under the wood pile. Fifty of them
had been the property of Mr.. Garlick
and the others belonged to Mr.. Mar
row.

A Wonderful Saving.

The largest Methodist church in Georgia

gallons of oil. thus making paint cost about
81 20 per gallon. They calculated to use 100
gallons of other paint. Saved about $50,
and also get big donation of L. & NJ. Deal
ers gladly sell L. & NJ, because their custom
ers call for it, and say they used it r. i and
even 80 years ago.
Don't pay $3.50 gallon for linseed oil,
which you do for ready-for-use paint.
Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents
per gallon and mix it with L. & NJ. Paint. 1t

The Mecklenburg. Chase City, Va.

Said Il gentleman to us the other
day in speaking about health and
pleasure resorts: 1T is shame that
so many people near the Mecklenburg
don't know what it is And that is
true. Ii the Mecklenburg Hotel and
Mineral Springs were located at
great distance We dare say our peO-
pie would know more about this
splendid resort than they do, and we
doubt not larger numbers would
patronize it, But being close by they
overlook its merits. The Mecklen-
burg mineral springs supply two
varieties of medicinal waters, both of
them OF remarkable curative proper
ties.
The Mecklenburg Calcium Chloride
| Water is unique in its constituents
and effects. Investigation has failed
to discOver-either in this country or
| EurOpe-another water similar to its
| analysis.
The Mecklenburg Lithia Water was
the only Virginia mineral water that
received medal and certificate of
award at the Columbian Exposition
in Chicago.
The Mecklenburg Hotel is one of
the finest in the country-a thorough
ly modern building, equipped with all
the latest improvements OF cOnven-
fence and luxury. Its rooms are all
bright and airy, and the building is
we'll lighted by electricity, heated by
steam, and ventilated after the most
improved methods.

University College of Medicine.

Those who expect to practice med
icine will be especially interested in
the catalogue of the University Col
lege of Medicine, of Richmond, Va,
which tells how medical students are
affected by various State laws regu
lating the practice of medicine. This
is a most important subject to the
general public, too, as it bears di-
rectly on the qualifications of the
doctors, to whom all of us must
some time or other entrust our lives.

federal government, according to Chief
Engineer Newell, will undertake no ir-
rigation work in the Yakima valley.
The truth of the matter Is that the
government wants to assume absolute
control in the whole valley, absorbing
all of the private enterprises now in
operation, and to build large storage
reservoirs at the headwaters of the
Yakima river and it's tributaries In or
der to greatly enlarge the irrigable
area in the valley. The claim is set
forth that the government can do the
work more cheaply than private cap
ital, and that the friction between a
humber of private corporations will be
done away with. The latter Is the
main reason given why the government
should assume control, and it adds that
the private companies have already
filed on many times the amount OF
water that the Yakima river discharges
and when large works are built near
the head of the river the farmers on
