News is scarce in this part of the
moral vineyard this week but If the
good editor will give me space enough
in his paper, I win try to write few
lines again from Kimberly
Work is fairly good here at present.
Most of the men are making very
good wages. They make from -. 80 to
a. 90 per day and day wages are from
81. SO to 50. 90 per day. think that is
reasonably fair wages, or at any rate
l think it is a lot better than the non
union boys at Whitwell are doing.
am sure it is if the Company is not pay
ing them more for their work than they
paid the union men when they worked
there. Well, CHERRY Blossom" you
seem to think that am off my cazip
about the non union labor. / am not
mistaken about 1t at all for in union
there is strength. Now, you spoke of
the union men being ragged and too
lazy to work. / don't think there is
any union man there that Is too lazy
to work, but it is the non union labor
that has brought them to the condition
you speak Of Had 1t not been for the
nor. union miners who are at Whitwell
and other places working under the
same conditions those men you speak
of, wearing those ragged clothes and
being too lazy to work, as You say,
wouldn't have been in such condition.
They would have been at work, max
ing a good living for their families and
exercising the right to say what they
are going to have for their work and
what sort of conditions they would
work under. If all laboring men would
just come together and stand together
as men ought to do they could rule the
combined world. I hope to see the
time when there won't be q non-union
piece of work in the world Of any kind,
either miner, mill man or foundry, and
all the shops and factories will be or
ganized. Together we stand; divided
we fall. I wish to say, If the union
was to fall great would be the fall of
it. While there are some non-union
miners who are getting good pay for
the work they are doing, at the same
time we must remember the union man
are unfolding the wages of the non-un-
ion man while there are thousands of
men in the world today who don't re-
lish this fact. I hope to see the time
when all laboring men will be convert
ed to knowledge of conditions and
come into the organization and help
fight the fight of unionism till the bat
tie is won. The assertion was made
during the fall of 1908 that If the I'M
ion stood through the years Of 1904 and
1905 that it would be a good one and
this assertion was made by men of re-
sponsible positions engaged in coal
mining but the union is here yet and
it is hereto stay.
May God bless all of the ones who
are out for their rights and may they
ever prove faithful until victory Ii
won. We don't forget the little child
rem who are at home tonight with
their mothers and the father away from
home working for the little fellow,
who are too young to realize the con
ditions but we hope and trust that the
time is not far off when all strikes viii
be over and all men can go home t.
their families and friends and won't
have to leave home on such conditions

lines from this place.
l saw in last weeks issue where
American" said Tracy had been an
old sore but was scabbing over all right
now. l would like to tell him that it
will never be we'll until the scabs come
off. When Tracy gets rid of her scabs
she will be all right. My people had
the smallpox and they didn't get well
until they had shed the last scab and
that will be the case with Tracy and
Whitwell. He also quoted little
scripture, ''In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread" l don't think
it means that we have to have sweat
on our face every time we eat and the
union people have made what they are
eating now by the sweat of their brow.
think American" had better find
out little more about the union be-
fore he tries to run it down. Before
the union came to Tennessee it was
sweat and not eat much. It is better
to eat and not sweat than it is TO sweat
and not eat

And back to my bread and pies.

When he hears my feeding call.
He answered with Il flap of wings
And crow from the garden wall.

When my baby pressed the spring

Him round upon string.

In a little wooden ark.
And. one by one. | take them up.

In Il corner of his room,

For the faint and fallen eve.

Miss Martins face lighted up as she
listened. This was new experience
to her Her life had been wholly cen

could not help thinking of it even in
the midst Of this excitement A new
feeling swept over her. How selfish
she had BEEN Would God forgive
her?
While these thoughts were passing
through her mind she was making her
way toward Mr.. Randall Would she
be too late. No; Mr.. Burnham had
been called in another direction. She
pulled the pOormaster's sleeve and
whispered hurriedly:
I'll take Fred"
"All right" he replied. and the deed

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Farmer Grated Live Rabbit to In
jured Horses Shoulder.


Elmer Purdy, local farmer. who
is also something of horse and COW
doctor. has just succeeded in perfect
ing a cure which is attracting cOnsid-
cradle attention hereabouts. says the
New York World The method used
is not new, but so far as known it has
never been applied to horse.
Several weeks ago a valuable roam
colt belonging to Purdy ran into Il
barbed-wirc fence and lacerated its
off shoulder. The wound did not seem
to be serious and the usual methods
for healing We're applied. For time
the wound got along we'll enough, but
later developed into running sore ana
the colt went lame. Some of the shout
der muscles were affected and it look
ed as though the animal would have
to be killed
Purdy tried all the remedies he
knew of. but they did not good. and
finally he determined to graft live
hare onto the leg over the wound. lie
therefore set a box trap in the woods,
baited it with popple bark and a car
rot and caught lively jack rabbit.
purdy then undertook to etherlZe the
bunny, for fear that the Society Tor
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
which is particularly active In Rutland
County, would step in and make things
disagreeable for him. Not being an
expert in administering ether he killed
the hare.
Later on he caught n second rabbit
and was more successful. etherlZlng 1t
properly. When this had been done
slit was made in the skin along the
side and the fur pulled back FAR
enough to cover the sore on the colt ,
shoulder. The wound was then bathed
with Il solution of corrosive sublimate
TO steriliZe it and the rabbit bound in
such a way as to completely cover the
same. The skin was then stitched to
the horses hide and the colt was
swung off his feet that he might not
lie down and crush the hare.
When bunny came to his senses he
seemed astonished, but made no ef-
fort to get away. The colt looked
around Mt him in equal surprise, but
the warm body added to his comfort
and he offered no objection. The hare
was fed regularly and for the most
part remained quiet. 1t was necessary
to bind down his hind legs, as he was
given to kicking, but, >on the whole.
he took matters philosophically.
