DIVIDE MAIL CONTRACTS.
Government Gives frisco and Iron Mountain a Division of Mai!
 Contracts.

The Frisco has succeeded n dividing the mail contracts for merly held by the Iron Moun- tain from St. Louis to Dallas, Forth Worth, Northern Texas and the Southwest, and the speed contests are now at an end.
 The Frisco secures the govern ment contract for carrying the mails to Fort Worth and sur- rounding territory, together with Northern Texas.
 The Iron Mountain retains the contract for the mails to Dallas and Eastern Texas. Both roads succeeded in getting their trains to their destinations to about the same time. Officials of the Frisco, however, feel that they are ahead of the game, as they
 
 started out to divide the con- tracts and succeeded.
 The quadrennial weighing of mails on railroads embraced with in the territory west of the Mis- sissippi river, except Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, will com mence February 20. This weigh ing is for the purpose of secur- ing data on which to base the compensation for railway mail transportation for four years. beginning July 1 next. The weighing will continue for the next ninety days.

Patton Always Pieases.

w. B. Patton, the brilliant young actor, who knows so we'll how to interpret droll humor and whose voice and magnetism are capable of all the fine points in the portrayal of feeling, wa greeted by good house Friday evening. He established staunch admirers here years ago in '"The Ministers Son. a play much superior, we think, to the Hast Rose of Summer, presented last night. And it did them all good to see and hear him once more, for he is great in anything that has sentiment and humor about it.
 As Dexter Hurley, a most unique and original character, the plot, which told of his visit to the family of an old friend of his father, made him the con- spicuous figure. He loved, but wisely and philosopically and had much fun in his love-making. His big heart was most often disguised and he seemed oftimes a pampered and spoiled son of a rich indulgent father, but his goodness shone through it all and won his way.
 The very simplicity of his manner, the magic of his per- sonality as Dexter Hurley imbue his audience with generous inn pulses and his mellow sympa- thetic voice touch the heart strings with irresistible for and the better part of man seems strengthened under the arousa1 of his appeals.

Midget CoIored Cook.

One passenger who attracted more than the usual attention and interest at the depot one morning recently, says the Bates vile Guard, was Clarice Mcln- tyre, who alighted from the col ored coach, when the passenger train arrived from Newport. The woman's size was what at tracted the attention of the peo- pie on the platform. Shs is but four feet tall, and does not seem to be even that tall on account of her size, her weight being 102 pounds.
 Clarice, who stated that she came to this city from Augusta to cook for the family of John w. Glenn, states that she is thirty years of age, and unmar- ried. The woman has the repu- tation of being a good cook.

INCREASES NEWPORT DISTRICT.
Contiguous Territory Made Part of Newport School District Will Provide More Funds for
 Better Schools.

C1unty Judge E. l.. Boyce m response to petition circulated by w. D. McLain and others and signed by majority of voters living within the territory de- scribed below, recently enter ed an order, annexing to the Newport Special School Dis trict, all that part of Section 9 East of White River, the re- mainder of Section 10 not al- ready embraced in this district, all of Section 16 east of White River, all of Section 15, all of Sections 13 and IA lying west of Village Creek and all of Sections 12, 1 and 2 not now embraced in this special district.
 The addition includes 2 l-2 miles more of Iron Mountain track, assessed at $22, 800 per mile or $56,250, two miles of Rock Island track, assessed at S60OO or $12,0O0 and land valued at S59, ,47O according to the tax books.
 This would make a total of $127,7 ,720 increased assessment upon which the school tax levy of 5 mills, would put $638. 60 into the school funds of this dis trict annually. It will mean a bigger enrolment and perhaps soon necessitate another school building. But with more funds, better schools and higher depart ments of work are also assured.
 The step has been a pet prod ject of MT. Gustaye Jones and his zeal in its behalf during long years of service as member of the Newport school board has been crowned at last with suc- cess, and to him will always be ascribed the uredit and honor of the initial move toward estab- fishing a higher graded school.
 Mir. w. D. McLain has gener- ously offered the school board a block in the new addition to be laid out in East Newport and If instead of the preparatory de- partment of the state university, the state shall choose to estab- fish and support high school in each county. this district being centrally located ought to be able to land this school and build upon the East Newport tract. Such an enactment is forecasted for passage by the next legisla- ture.

Letter to R. W. Boone, Marietta, Ga,

Dear Sir: No man is in position tc
influence men with regard to their
properly more than you in that little
room where they tell you their troubles.
Pity, if you don't know how to keep q
house dry and sound, any sort of struct-
ure, store, factory, warehouse, shop,
barn, fence-any sort of fence, except
rail-with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint
That is short; but that's all: it in
cludes the rest One paint wears long,
another wears short; but the one that
wears long, is the least-gallons paint
least-gallons means pure and strong,
ana most-gallons means adulterated
and weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the business
of making it; no, the business of paint,
taking care of property. Paint is worth
a great deal more than it costs, and the
best costs least: Devoe.
Yours truly,

Paragraphs.

A close shave--the well-to-do
mans at five cents.
To give. in is sometimes better
than to give out.
Managers who hire blonde cho-
rus girls seem to have a fair show.
The reformer finds it no easy
task to straighten out crook.
Some men seek to get even a
high hat low price.
AS to the chances of football
eleven, it seems ten to one.
Too many blows will extinguish
the light of love.
A savage dog is the wayside cross
Of the hungry hobo.
Please notice that the old bach
elor is welded to single blessed
ness.
If a man doesn't amount to
anything, he boasts of his ances-
tors.
What you say of your neighbors
may be nothing to what they think
of you.
Do you earn a living that you
don't get-or do yet living that
you don't earn?
A married man seldom gets the
last word because of his inability
to remain awake.
Even after man reaches his
bottom dollar, he usually has
something left to build hopes upon.
When man is in love he is
either 50 happy or so miserable
that he doesn't t seem to care much
what happens.
Millionaires think constantly Oh
how to better their financial con-
dition, and let their hearts hunger
for the simple things they pass by
and have no time to enjoy.

In MEMOR[AM.

Our friend and sister, Mrs. S. Z
Humphries was called home Oct. 18Th
to receive the 'Well done, thou good
and faithful servant, enter thou into
the joy of thou Lord" for truly and
faithfully "she hath done what she
could"
knew her intimately for twenty
five years and size was the most con-
scientious, the most self-sacrificing per-
son | have ever known. She possessed
ir an unusual degree the beautiful
Christisn graces, her faith was abiding
her hope radiant and her self-renuncia-
tion complete. The subtle influence of
her pure thoughts and desires radisted
from her every day walk and life and
she was loved most by those who knew
her best-her family, her neighbors,
and intimate associates.
Hers was the Joy of service and she
delighted TO Ego up to the house of the
Lord" She was especially gifted in
prayer and song. But her work through
the church and its organizations,
though blessing and an inspiration to
many, was the least Of her service, for
like the Master she went out into the
highways and patiently, willingly and
ioyfully gave of her time, talents and
substance. Wherever a fevered brow
needed the touch of a tender hand
there she was found ; wherever q way
ward heart hungered for kindly coun-
sci she was unfailing; around the dy-
ing couch, performing the last sad rites
for the dead, comforting and soothing
the bereaved. These were her daily
acts, the desds of kindness now shining
brighter than jewels in her crown OF
righteousness. We cannot hope to fill
her place, only bow in submission to
His will and earnestly pray that her
mantle, in some measure, may have
fallen upon some one of our number,
therefore be it resolved,
That in the death of Mrs Hnmphries
the Woman's Foreign and Home Mis-
sionary Societies have lost one of it's
most faithful members, that our hearts
are saddened by the severing of our
long and pleasant association, that
words are inadequate to express our
loss, but memory will ever cherish her
effective work among US as a sacred
trust. Resolved,
That as societies of which she was 8
loved and honored member, we extend
our loving sympathy to her husband
and children, remember them in PRAYER
and commend them for comfort to the
God whom she loved and served. Re
solved,
That, i'll furthermore, as a mark o.
respect for her memory, set aside space
on our minutes for this memorial anC
resolutions and furnish copy of tn,
same to her family.
