Killing at BrOzVilIG
JuStifhbIe by The Evidence

On Wednesday the cases against Silas
Causey for shooting and killing Allen
Rogers and Dave Causey for assault
and battery on George Rogers were
tried together before Messrs Lipsey
and Wilmington, justices of the peace.
sitting together The evidence of four
or five witnesses showed that the
Causey brothers asked George Rogers,
negrosg osgabout some Insulting message
sent their father, about their father
having taken up some cattle belonging
to George Rogers; and that a difficulty
ensued, in which Allen Rogers drew q
pistol and fired at Mr. Silas Causey,
who returned the fire, each firing two
shots, and Allen Rogers receiving the
| fatal wound
| The evidence clearly showed the
killing to be justitiable and the at
torneys for the prosecution abandoned
the case and the defendants We're dis
charged ~

Well, it's said when a man is mis-
quoted, he begins to attain to promi
nence, but / don't agree to that but
assign different reasons. Now, f0I
instance. i'll last week Issue of the
Advertiser, lido" said that Rex says
when he wrote for the Ad his hens
did well. but since his connection with
the IL G. T. his hens dried up. Now,
Mr. lido, you have certainly mis-
quoted Rex, for the hens belongs to
Mrs. Rex, hut, Of course, we excuse
you, for you have only beamed forth
twice as q correspondent and we think
age will help to mellow you down
some And replying to Cato of tive
weeks ago, Rex said Let's make The
Holmes County Times the best paper
ut all. Unlike our friend Cato, have
not read all the journals in the state
and am not able to classify journals
like him, and cannot say as to whether
the Ad. has reached the top or not,
but according to his chat suppose it
has.
Since one of the correspondents
ventured to speak of his better u s
warnings about his head, we are en-
couraged to tell some of our family

Say, Mr. Editor, noticing that
Shaddons Rex" has been mentioned
tim9 or so in connection with the
fine women Of this section, and see
ing that he is ready to cast sheep eyes
ut one of your correspondents, bis at
tention is respectfully called to the
following poem dedicated to Women
Men Admire, and my section has
several of them.
Il have read whole reams descriptive
OF the women men admire;
Read descriptions of their bonnets,
OF the style of their attire;
Read of how they do their hair up
How they talk and how they look;
But I've never seen them mentioned
As the women who can cook
| have read the brand of powder
That they wear upon their face;
know of the brand of corsets
That around their forms they lace;
know of their education;
Where they went and what they took ;
But I've never seen them mentioned
AS tho women who can cook.
No writer tells fellow
He should swift attendance dance
On the maiden who has studied
How to build pair of pants;
Who goes singing round the kitchen
Glad and blythely as q brook
Through Il valley ON The maiden
Who has studied how to cook.
But what would we be without her
Who, her dimpled elbows bare,
In white and starch apron,
And white cap on her hair,
Trips about a spotless kitchen
With rapt and thoughtful look,
And her cheeks as red Nas roses
The sweet woman who can cook.
The next time you see Shaddon S
Rex, +" Uncle CasS, tell him will in
troduce him to one particularly, | feel
he is anxious to meet.
HAPPY JOE.

Rurma and RuddhlAm.

Burma is a country dominated by an
idea, or, rather. a set Of ideas, which
owe their origin to the influence of
Buddhism. The Burman holds the view
that this life is a sorry thing at the
best and that the wisest course Is,
therefore, to get through it with as
little care, worry and anxiety as posi-
BILE. The world is nevertheless at the
anne time full of good things, which
all can enjoy. Therefore why toll for
wealth, which brings only a burden Of
care in its train? Why strain every
nerve when possession means the anx-
iety to hold and preserve. The bounte'
Gus earth supplies rice for the needs of
all her children, and while there are
love and laughter and gayety to solace
US, while leisure can be secured and
peace maintained, let us enjoy and be
happy. Here we strike the keynote of
the life of the Burmans. Strangers
call them lazy, but they are not idle
except on principle. They a work
splendidly when they choose. but they
have long ago decided that to turn the
world into a workshop. to toll inces-
sanity for a mere subsistence or In
order to gather up riches, is folly. az
doing so destroys the pleasure of ex-
istence. As soon as a farmer has made
a little money by selling his crop he
gives a play, or pwee, to his town or
village.-CorGhill Magazine.

The Open Winter.

While some people profess to like cold
weather because they claim it is more
healthful, yet it must be admitted that
the open winter has some good points.
Coal dealers and the manufacturers
Of snow shovels doubtless see the
healthy side of zero weather, with
drifts three feet deep, but the man who
has the buying of the coal and the
shoveling of the snow on his mind gen
orally thinks that he could get along
with just a trife less health and a good
deal more money.
1t Is very pleasant to take a sleigh
ride if you are a pretty girl and do not
have to put up something like So an
hour for the sport, but 1t generally
takes a young man who is making 81
q week longer to recover from that
than 1t would from a case of the grip.
Taken all round, for a steady COM
panion the winter that may be trained
to eat out Of your hand is much pleas
anter than the one that is playfully
trying to bite a chunk out of your ear
every time that you venture abroad.

How To Run an Incubator.

The average farmer, his wife, his son
or his daughter should o expect to
learn all about the management of an
incubator from the perusal OF written
pages. Experience comes from the
work itself. This work is easy, inter-
esting and fascinating. 1t occupies
the mind and leads to investigation.
More than that, II leads to success and
profit. But great results cannot be ex-
pected In the beginning. The poultry
business Is a trade and must be learn
ed. Many a person is idle today and
looking for some sphere OF usefulness
who could learn how to operate an in
cubator to both mental and financial
advantage. But the work, slight as 1t
is, must be done properly and at the
right time. The poultry business Is
honorable and profitable, but It re-
quires study and experience. We serve
a long and faithful apprenticeship to
learn other more laborious and less re-
m%unerative trades. when the same
amount Of application would In less
time make us experts with an incu-
bator and give us a trade In a line not
affected by strikes or lockouts or liable
to be overcrowded.-Richard H.. Wood,
NJ. ID.
