More Lives.

The total number of killed in the
rear-end collision on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad at Terra Gotta, D. c.,
a block station three miles from
Washington Sunday night, is esti-
mated at so, and the number of in

cars, running into local No. so,
known as the Frederick express, just
as the passenger train had pulled

Former HoplsinsviIle Wo-
n1an's Exciting Ex-
perience.
MRS. L. p. HoTcHKEss.
Motive Was Robbery And
g2O Was Secured BY
Her Assailants.


Mrs. l.. E. Hptchlxiss, Of Grenada,
Miss. formerly Miss Susie Tandy. OF
this city, and daughter, Of Mr.. D.
a. Tandy, was choked to insensibil-
ity and her store ROBBED by two
negroes a few nights ago. Mrs.
Hotchkiss is manager of the Hotch-
kiss Millinery Co, at Grenada.
Other members Of the firm had gone
to supper, Mrs. Hotchkiss being
alone. Concerning the affair the
Grenada Sentinel says:
"A couple of negro women came
in the store and about the time they
took their departure she observed
two negro men in the store near the
front door. She inquired their
wants, when one answered that he
wanted to buy a hat, and led the
way to the rear of the store near the
cash drawer, where he said he had
seen a hat that struck his fancy. On
reaching that point he made a grab
at the cash drawer, while his com
rade watched the front. Mrs.
Hotchkiss endeavored to save some
of the money, when the brute took
her by the throat and threw her
aginst the shelving, which is the last
thing she remembered until her res
cuers came. Her throat bears the
bruises made by the negroes fingers
and her head and arm show other
evidences of the horrible experience
to which she was subjected.
The robbers only secured SIS or
500 as a reward for their daring. A
vigorous search was at once institute
ed for the perpetrators. A special
train was run to Greenwood where
bloodhounds, were secured, but up
to this writing no tangible evidence
has been secured to locate the guilty
parties"

Can You Speak Your Own
Tongue?

A man on the lecture platform
must be able to do that. First, he
must have something to say, and
then he must be able to say it so that
every word is heard distinctly by
everyone in his audience, in any sort
of an auditorium. To rant and
strut and yell and tear a passion to
tatters" is not oratory-it is a sore
trial to the patience of an intelligent
audience; nor are the vocal gymnas-
tics of the "elOcutionist," whose
mind is pumping at his diaphragm,
who swells and subsidies according to
his petty rules, to be mistaken for
oratory. The orator is primarily q
thinker; but the sublimest thought
falls dead in the utterance, if it be
not heard. Frank Dixon, the ora
tor, who lectures at the Tabernacle
Monday evening, Jan. z, isnoted for
the peculiar quality of his voice; it
is clear. penetrating, far-reaching.
His enunciation is SO distinct that
every syllable is heard, no matter
how rapid his utterance.
Mr.. Dixon lectured at the Taber-
nacle during last season and was
considered one of the greatest lights
of the lecture platform. Those who
heard him then will gladly do so
again, and those who have not heard
him should not fail to do so.

OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances In Average Small Town fol
Profitably Engaging In Business.

According to the United States cen.
sus of 1900 there was produced in the
United States 1.293,6 .i33 dozen eggs
The same statistics give the annual
production OF poultry at 250.623. ia.
The butter made on farms each year
is In excess OF 1000. 100000 pounds
The cheese made on farms averages
about 20.000,000 pounds annually
These statistics are interesting, and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese, II
hardly seems possible that such com
binations as dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist. but tina,
they do is nevertheless fact.
Every small town In farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter
egg and poultry trade to support a
prosperous exclusive produce estab
lishment. The practice has generally
obtained In agricultural districts OF
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers produce In exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants ls iofWafueu 10 tne com
mission houses In the large city. and
these houses are factors that make 4,
possible to maintain trusts In the pro
duce business. II appears that II each
town had Its exclusive produce estab
llshment TO buy what the farmer has
to sell instead OF the produce going
through the local stores. that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made n most profitable
one II rightly conducted.
According. to the natural laws Of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant. Thus
II seems that the produce offers u
most excellent field In the majority Of
agricultural towns.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two Vital Things for tho Welfare Of
the Masses.

There Is wisdom In the old slogan.
"A school on every hill top and o
church in every valley" Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
OF the great educational system which
makes 1t possible for all classes to ac.
quire the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud Of the re.
liglous liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There is no estab.
lished church to interfere with the
free exercise Of conscience, neither Is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise OF religious belief.
The United States can be looked
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. or course there are com.
munities where local conditions are
not so favorable for schools as other
places. 1t will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town the more advanced are the edu.
cauonal facilities offered the people.
The residents OF rural communities
have their state or district school, the
curricuiums Of which are restricted.
1t Is to the nearby town that the chill.
dren who are residents OF the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is necessary prep
aration for entry into college. and for
business life. How important 1t Is
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business i'm
portance to justify the maintenance OF
high class school! 1t can be seer
how each resident of farming com
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains to IT.
