WHITE BLOOD, A STORY OF THE
cnrTrrr

BY Rev, II. Nj Wharton, D. D.
Dr. WhaTton's story is com.
pared with The Clansmau and
by many is considered better
than that much read and much
discussed reconstruction story.
The scene of this story is laid
Ia Culpeper Co.. Va, tho the
incidents are pot confined to
that portion of the south.
The great question now agita-
ting the public mind more than
ever before and especially in
the south, is the race question.
The whole intention of the book
is to prove aud establish tn
supremacy of white blood owe r
black blood. and. tho the
South could never need any
vindicatiou of her policy ia re
construction days, the story
of white B God" will do much
to explain why it was necessary
to use the severe measures re-
sorted to.
No reader. however exactin z
will be disappointed ia the we II
sustained interest. There are
matches of humor and quaint
philosophy. but the subject is
too serious for laughter-tears
are more in evidence.

PROPHETS LANDING
By Edwin Asa Dix, author of Deacon
Bradbury.
This is an interesting story of
New England village life. 1t
tells of the awakening of the
general store keeper of that
small burg and his development
into a live business man. The
story shows the effect of his
prosperity on his neighbors, his
home life and himself. The pic.
ture of the town, the winning
little love story, the amusing
sketches of the neighbors, the
interesting Prophet, for whom
the village was uamed, make
a splendid narrative, powerful
in it's simplicity, delightful in
it's homely philosophy and most
in its extraordinarily real
picture of the business methods
of today and their effects. Pub.
