COL. K. G.. PLEASANT.

Col. R. G.. Pleasant, city attorney, has
returned home from a canvass in the
country He is well pleased with his
encouraging prospects and expects to be
the next Attorney General of the State
an anticipation which is shared by his
many friends.
1t appears that he was not at the Tues
day night session of the Council, which
has led to his criticism by the mayor.
According to the charter he is not
compelled to attend the sessions of the
Council 1t seems the criticism was
suggested by his non-attendance when
two of the councilmen recently elected
had to be sworn. This duty is not one
devolving on the city attorney but on a
notary, or any official, the clerk of the
District Court qualified to administer an
oath
Colonel Pleasant as city attorney has
always been active and diligent in the
discharge of his duties am it is not to
his discredit if he has been criticised by
the mayor for being absent at last Tues
day nights session.

NEWS IN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative.

The following deserved complimentary
mention of a recent valuable contrbu
ton to our historical literature by Judge
A. A. Gunby of Monroe, appears in The
Jeffersonian.
The volume referred to is Colonel
John Gunby of the Maryland Line and
is the result of serious investigation of
facts concerning Southern history not
brought to light by historians. Judge
Gunby is a scholar, thinker and. bril-
liant writer His charming volume will
be appreciated by lovers of historical
facts. The editor says: Shoulder to
shoulder with John Eager Howard in
the Revolutionary War stood John Gun
by, a colonel of the Maryland Line. In
neither army, American or British, was
there a sturdier figure than his, truer
man or more unselfih patriot. At the
battle of Guilford Court House it was
Gunby and his Maryland regiment that
breasted the fury of the storm and bore
off the honors. The GOODNESS which he
displayed in the crisis of that day, when
CORVALLIS declared, I never saw such
fighting since God made met the good
judgment with which he handled his
men; the unfaltering courage with which
he turned to meet and check the vic

A SWEET OLD SONG-THE LIGHT
OF OTHER DAYS.

vi ', 1 - IN ~ -
Oft i'll the Silly night
Ere slumberS chain hath bound me.
Fond memory brings the light
OF other days around me:
The smiles. the tears,
OF boyhood's years.
The words of love unspoken;
The eyes that shone.
Now dimm'd and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken
Thus in the Silly night
Ere Slumber'S chain hath bound me-
Sad memory bring, the light
OF other days around me
When | remember all
The friends who linl'd together
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves i'll wlntry weather,
| feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted
Whose lights are hel
Where garlands dead
And all but me departed
Thus i'll the Silly night
Ere 'sumber's chain hath bound me.
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

Resolved, That in the death of Emily

That her enthusiasm for work towards
higher ideals and her encouragement Of
such work we'll done was always an in
Spiration for all to labor for more

succeeding generations
That by her womanhood, perfect in
its loneliness. our world is sweeter and
brighter because she has lived i'll 1t. and
that the universal sorrow of this and
other communities at her passing from
their midst into the Great Beyond is a
feeling memorial to the memory of one
who was so beloved.
That we, the members of the Era Civic

am not expecting much relief from
thit great heat wave before the last days
of August. and all the good feature
about it that may be hoped for is that
the drouth and heat will mature the late
corn and save i, from the September
frosts
About August y the cool wave is ex-
pccted to be on meridian 90, reaching
the Atlantic coast about two days later.
The cool wave of I'll will scarcely be
worthy of note. The August 10 cool
wave will be on meridian 90 at that date.
About September and IL and FL the
cool waves will be on meridian 90
moving eastward at the rate of about
500 miles a day. Each of these three
cool waves will probably bring northern
frosts. but the first two will be too far
north to do damage and will probably
remain north of the spring wheat line.
But look out for that of September Fl
That will be critical date for late corn
and unless crop-weather hurrles that
crop to maturity much damage will come
with that frost wave.
From August Is to II will be the most
critical cropweather period of the sum-
mer. expect the Texas droutf to ex
tend northeastward into the principal
sections along the west of
the Mississippi river That ten days
will determine the 1907 corn crop.
| am expecting the temperatures and
evaporation to reach very high point

which rapid fall in temperatures, with
increased rainfall, will continue till near
September 81. Remember that these
weather events move east at the rate
of 400 or 500 miles day. | give the
date for meridian 90 and you can easily

In next bulletin will appear general
forecasts of September cropweather
with more particular reference to frosts
in northern sections and cotton crop
weather in the south | am not inclined
to encourage planters to hope for much
higher prices for cotton. When these
bulletins took up the cause of the plant
ers, less than two years ago, cotton was
selling at less than 7 cents, and if the
influence of these bulletins could be
known, | believe it would reveal saw

now 10 cents higher than six months
