The new towboat Sally Marmet
was inspected at Gallipolis last
Thursday and her boilers were al
lowed 100 pounds of steam. The
Sally is one of the best small tow
boats in this section and is the
fastest boat on the Great Kanawha.
The Sally Msrmet was formerly
the Vivian and was originally
built at Burlington, Iowa, to be
used as raft boat. She was pur-
chased some months back by the
Otto MaTmet Co., who rebuilt her
at Raymond City. The SaIIy's
boilers are 2 fued and has 10x6
machinery, is an easy steam maker
and very light draught. She is
named in honor of Mrs. Marmet,
widow of the late Otto Marmet, a
wealthy Ksnawha coal operator.
The boat left Thursday afternoon
for Raymond City where she will
be painted and furnished in a nice
style. Captain Ed Woodward and
Captain John Rust took her up.
Engineer Summerville and Nathan
Farmer put the machinery in shape
on the new boat and Captain Burt
Chambers experimenting and re-
building at the Raymond City
ways.

The largest farm in Iowa, and
no doubt the largest farm in the
world where corn is grown exolu-
sively, is the big Adams place neal
OdeboIt. The los men who have
been employed steadily on this
farm for the last year have just
finished husking the greatest corn
field in the United States. 1t il
estimated that more than 100000
bushels of corn were raised there
this year. The crop is all out and
husked from the shock. The stocks
will be shredded for the fat cattle
before spring. Thirty. seven dou-
bic stalk caters were used to bind
the corn in the field this fall. Two
hundred mules are used on the
farm.

The fairest and sweetest joy is
that brought to man by the low
ing hand of wife. The sweetest
thought is of that journey, when,
hand in hand, she, the wife becomes
the wife, becomes the guiding star,
as he scales the snnlit mountain of
success, or as with him she pene-
trates the shadow-haden and dis.
NAL valley of failure, despair and
grief. The ecstacy of joy or pain
of grief cannot change the divinity
of wife's love. The blackest
cloud that can darken the horizon
of a man is the one which, enoir-
cling the brow with death, takes
from the husbands embrace his
life companion. It is then that
all cares, serrows and pains of life
seem blended into one; it is then
that an unfathomable ocean seems
to engulf him with its angry bill
lows. If all husbands would pom
der over these thoughts at the be-
ginning of the year I'D treat his
wife as if it was to be their last
year together upon earth, the d.
vorce courts would be advertising
for business long before the close
of 1906.

Three Ambitions.

Three not of kind set out to do
something for the world and mol
dentally something for themselves.
81 will inspire mankind" said
the first; and he wrote verses that
went to the hearts of men and
touched their souls with heavenly
fac. The verses. however, didn't
seem to do much for the poet, for
he starved to death at an early age
and was buried in the Potter's
field.
81 will instruct mankind" said
the second; and he stored the
minds of men with the choicest
treasures of knowledge. But the
professor found that instruction
doesn't pay much better than in
SEPARATION. He lived poor during
his active life, and now, in his old
sge. he is taking crust from the
Carnegie foundation.
Il will feed mankind" said the
third; and he rejoicsd the stomachs
of men with soups and canned
pools and choice meats and tooth
some delioatenees articles, surpass-
ing in their excellence and infinite
in their variety. In this way he
made a center shot, and now owns
three counties, two banks and a
Legislature.
