RELIGIOUS NOTES.

Bishop J. C'Connor of the Catholic
Diocese of Newark has issued instruc-
tions to the pastors of the churches
under his direction to discontinue the
singing of Nearer, My God, to Thee. -
and Lead, Kindly Light" at church
services. The Bishop declared the law
of the church did not permit the singing
of any hymn that is not part of the
liturgical service, and he added. ''Nearer.
My God, to Thee" is no more a part of
the service than is 'Tn the Sweet By
and By" The hymn is purely senti-
mental, while LEAD, Kindly Light, is
an appeal for spiritual light, but there
isn't any reason for it being sung in the
churches. lead, Kindly light. - was

consequent mistakes were made in

OF Interest to Truckers, Farmers

thing to complain about. He now
asserts that the ears of corn are toe
large for the shelter.

Have the ice pond cleaned out. and all
stagnant water drained away, and the
banks made good, and. then see that
only pure, clean spring water is stored
for freezing. Freezing water does not
purify itand there is, therefore, danger
IN using impure water to fill the ice
pond. Got any hickory trees on
your farm, or in your wood lot? Treas
ure them as you would gold. Hikory
is becoming increasingly scarce. High
as lIs present prices are, they are
likely to go to more extraordinary
figures. Hickory trees are good pro-
perty, and should be cut only after
most careful consideration and mar
keted wisely. Southern Planter.
One of the things on which the con-
tlnuing prosperity is builded is the stag
gerlng corn crop which the sturdy
farmers have gathered year. It is
now estimated at 2,SSl, 0UJ, 900 bushels.
This is la, 5000 bushels in excess of
the largest previous crop, that of 1905.
Two such full years following in sue
cession give great lift to the farmers.
and the farmers lift all the rest of
the people The corn crop this year
will be worth as much as the wheat
and cotton crop combined and this
country will have 200, 600, 600 bushels
to spare for export after supplying the
home demand. Alexandria Gazette.

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

The great cause of social crime Is
drink. The great cause of poverty is
drink. When hear of family broken
up ask the cause-drink. Then ask
myself in perfect wonderment, why do
not men put stop to this thing?-
Archbishop John Ireland.

the union that has more savings bank
depositors than voters; with 100. 600
more depositors and $50, 0Oo, 900 more
money deposited in them than the great

with six times as many people.
Virginia paid the past year into the
U. S- Treasury the enormous sum of
"a, SSs, 25S tax on liquor, tobacco and
cigarettes, Richmond district paying
about half of the total. The cigar and
cigarette tax was large increase, but
the whiskey tax showed falling off.
