and get together and build a schoolhouse
on the pike dividing the two districts at
or near the old home place Of the late

Mr.. AShtOn'S no Prejudice.

Mr.. c. NJ. Ashton, chairman of
the committee, when introducing
Governor Montague at King
George last Thursday, said:
mo word shall fall from my lips
to prejudice any voters voice or
sentiment. Let each candidate
have his full deserts. "
When he introduced Mr.. Mar
tin he said;
Your junior Senator has served
you efficiently and well, and if you
return him, by reason of his ex-
perience he will be able to serve
you better than ever. The secret
of the success of Northern Senators
has been that they have been kept
continuously in office. "
Three cheers for Montague, y
shouted an enthusiast. They were
given with n will.
We think Mr.. Ashton showed
how delightfully."- prejudiced he
was; and his first statement could
have we'll been left unSaid.

An Excellent Showing.

At II meeting of the board of
directors of the First National Bank
of Berryville, held July 3, the books
of the institution showed that a
profit of 6 per cent had been made
upon the capital stock since the
bank opened its doors for business
on July Is, 1904. When the fact
is considered that the expense Of
opening a new bank is very great.
that the first two months of the
bank $ life was naturally at great
loss, that all salaries and expenses
have been paid. the ten months of
what we may term actual business
presents a showing which is certain
ly deserving of the congratulations
of everyone. The officials of the
bank were agreeably surprised at
the excellent showing. The Off
GERS of the bank are: President.
Chas. NJ. Broun; Vice President.

How the Grease Will be Applied.

There is now effort on the part
of many politicians to raise funds
by subscription TO pay the expenses
of the approaching primaries. 1t
his developed that the assessment
of candidates no matter how heavy.
will not suffice. and aS few have
been found who are willing To be
inundated on the altar OF party and
serve without pay, there must be
money. The railroads and other
corporations which we are told once
gave OF their substance freely to-
ward the election of certain can
.dldate. seem backward this time I'm
going forward. 1t is only on Leg
.lSlatures or small bodies we learn
that these giverS bcStow their hard
earned cash. The people are too
uncertain, too hard TO get at. There
is no lobby where the people as
semble, no chance to whisper I'm
their ear. No opportunity to play
the game of politics with them.
This being the sad condition of
existing affairs something must be
done, and the only way IS To seek
popular subscription. We trust
these may he forth coming. Some
will be slow, however. to put up
their money and let 1t 90 INTO the
hands of committee standing so
overwhelmingly for the interest of
one candidate, as does the Present
State Committee. We do not know
how money Is handled by the com
mittee, but committee l. nothing
more than a body of ordinary men.
who under most circumstances do
not aid a cause with which they
are not in sympathy. Its certain.
therefore, that this committee is
not going to throw money around
in Montague districts. and il Is
also certain that the Martin pre-
cincts will not be allowed to 90
begging.
1t is a funny situation and posi-
bly, whatever the committee does
with the funds, there may be some
who will say they should have done
otherwise. Yet we do not look
for any more liberality and fair
treatment from the committee i'm
this, than in anything else it has
done. The "machine' will most
likely grease the journals il thinks
need it, and it will not be hard to
tell which journals they will be. -

Sugar a Universal Need.

Sugar has modified the history OF
Europe and OF the world in more ways
than one" says writer. Used four
centuries ago, almost exclusively in
the preparation OF medicines, and long
afterward an article of luxury only ac-
cessible to the rich, it has by enlarged
production and cheapened manufac-
ture been brought within the reach OF
all. The universal use of this prac-
tically pure carbohydrate. which is
not only a freely burning fuel and
proteid sparer. but a muscle food, in
creasing the power of doing work
and lessening fatigue, must have had
WIDESPREAD and beneficial effects on
the general health. Especially in the
case of children, whose greed OF sugar
is the expression Of physiolc -ical
want, has that food been valuable in
con ,ucing to growth. contentment and
well-being."

loves WAY.

Love makes the heart so light so light.
Like thistle down It's upward flight;
Earth seems so very far away,
And heaven so very near the day.
Love comes a-knocking at our door,
And whispers all his cunning lore
Care cannot hurt. nor sorrow blight
The heart that love has made so hight.
Love makes the world SO bright. SO
bright,
As silvery moonbeams 10 the night;
Though storms may come and winds may
blow,
AS throug this weary world we go.
Love sees the sun behind the cloud,
Nor cares II north winds buster loud
So much there Is that gives delight.
In the world love makes SO bright.
Love makes the way so clear. so clear;
No stumbling in the dark, no fear.
The path before me lies straight,
And at the end the shining gate.
Ii is so easy to 40 right,
TO toll to hope to climb the height.
Since | have walked with you, my dear,
Along the way love makes so clear

HOW TO OPEN A BOOK.
Right and Wrong Way in This as
There Is in Everything.

Many people, when they first come
into possession of new book, are apt
to spoil the back by not knowing how
to open the book properly. Here are
q few hints as to the best way OF
opening a volume. 1t should be held
with its back on table. the front
board cover should be let down. the
leaves being held in one hand. Next
the other board cover should be let
down. Following this operation. few
leaves should be opened at the back,
then a few at the front. and soon
alternately opening back and front,
gently pressing open the sections till
the center of the volume is reached.
The best results will be obtained If
this Is done two or three times. II
the book is violently or carelessly
opened in any one place, the back will
very likely be broken.-Pearson' S
Weekly.

DEAF ARE NEVER sEAsIcK.
Stomach Nerves Controlled by Those
OF the Ear, Says Veteran Surgeon.

Strange thing, but do you know
that Geaf persons never can get sea-
sick" said an old surgeon in the en-
hoy OF one of the transatlantic lines
recently. This was found out" he
said. when a whole class of deaf
mutes went abroad some years ago
and despite particularly rough pass
age none of them wanted to lie on
the deck and beg somebody to heave
them overheard.
That's the seasick feeling. you
know. A little investigation proved
that the stomach nerves are mostly
controlled by those of the ear and
that deaf persons are not nearly so
liable TO the nausea that comes from
the rolling motion of ship as are
others.
The experiment of saturating a
ball OF cotton with cocaine and thus
dulling the hearing has been tried by
ship surgeons since. Ii gives relief
to those who dread any sort OF sea
voyage. but. after all. the best way
to do is to feed the fishes and get
over it."
