Won Both Fee and Girl,

X young lawyer in a western city was asked by q business man against whom $25OOO claim was about to be pressed to incorporate his business 90 as to render him judgment proof. IL was his first chance for fat fee, and he did the job with immense success. '"They couldn't find cent! jubilantly exclaimed the client after the usual supplementary examination. Pocket ing his fee, the attorney hastened to a summer resort to press his suit for the hand of fair maiden. Only the pa ternal consent was lacking. so he de- termined to make himself particularly agreeable to the father. One evening as they were puffing their after dinner cigars the father suddenly asked if the lawyer knew a MT. -. Most assur- edly the suitor did.
 "Well, that old rascal owes me S25,- O00," grunted the father, "and tele- gram informs me that some slick law yer has fixed him up so I can't recover a cent"
 A hilarious outburst followed Q min- ute of silence on the part of the attor- ney. He told the whole story-and won the girl.-Brookryn Eagle.

Orchestra Tuning Explained.

Doubtless n"ny theater goers have wondered why it is a practice Of or, chestra musicians to make their ap. pearance so far ahead of the time of beginning the performance and sit I, their seats with nothing to do. Than. at seeming given signal, all hands begin to tune up," torturing the ears of the early arrivals with series Of sQueaks and scrapes. The mystery was explained by an orchestra leader the other day "The instruments hare to be in accord with the temperature Of the house" said he. "Y9ere maT be several degrees difference between tle temperature of the music room below stage and the house itself. If we tuned our vioiins downstairs they would all be flat when we take our places in the orchestra. For that reason we come upstairs earlier and let our in. struments get the house atmosphere before the actual tuning begins."-, New York Press.

Coco Roads and Prosperitv,

Nothing stimulates home trade like good roads. In many parts of the country the farmers are practically shut off frov the town during the wet season. The wives and daughters Of the farmer find 1t incOnvenient to make frequent trips to town during these months, so they naturally resort to the mail order catalogue for part Of their shopping. The result is that home merchants lose trade which they might get if the roads were better.

OBITUARY.

Capt. W. $. Jeter was born in Amelia county, Va. February 23, 1S43, | and died in this city August l. 1907.
 Reared in home of the Old South, Capt. ,Ieter's boyhood was character ized by the strength of mind and body, the warm heart and chivalrous nature that is inherent in all true Southerners. At an early age he moved to Arkansas and when IS years old he espoused the cause of ! the Confederacy, eagerly entered the army of his adopted state. and served with bravery, in the midst of danger and disaster, through the entire l struggle At the close of that dark period he returned to Monticello, 1 Ark, and like the remainder of those brave soldiers who had given their best to their country, he bravely be- 1 gan his life anew and brought sue cess out of the surrounding devasta :, | ton. He engaged in mercantile pur- suits. where his energy and perser- verance won speedp recognition. in | 1867 he married Miss Josephine E. Jordan, daughter of MT. Jas. P. Jor- dan, prominent merchant of Mon- ticello At this place Capt. Jeter was respected and honored by the entire community. He was prominent in all business enterprises, leader in re- l lligious work and for A years Super
 intedent of the Methodist Sunday school. In 1888 he moved to this city where he establi ;ncd the Southern Grocery Company, of which institu
 tion he was president at the time of his death.
 Death came to him suddenly. and was a shock to the whole community, for while he had been unwell for several weeks, his splendid form and physique betrayed no ravages of dis ease He is survived by his wife and l two daughters, Mrs. T. B. McEwen and Mrs. J. w. Wilkins, and three grandchildren. Five sisters and brothers are also surviving relatives. Capt Jeter was brave and gener- ous and possessed all the active, mo- ble qualities of man, with the gen. tie, tender spirit of woman, for "The bravest are the tenderest,
 The loving are the Ia.1hS.
 l Much sympathy is felt for the
 stricken family, the bereaved chil- i dren, the suffering wife-tha wife who
 was always his first thought, and who sorrowing awaits the day when in a happier land, they shall again be united. The loved ones who grieve for and miss him have the comfort ing assurance that he awaits them in that land to which, they tell us, pray CT softens the way.
 There is no death! An angel form
 Walks OCT the earth with silent tread He bears our best beloved away,
 And then we call them dead
 But ever near us, though unseen,
 The dear immortal spirits tread,
 For all the boundless universe
 Is life-there are no dead.''

The Turkey.

Young turkeys are harder to raise
than chicks or ducklings. and in order
to succeed with them more pains must
be taken to study their nature and
habits
The young can be trained to come
up regularly at about O'Clock to be
fed when they can easily be driven
Into the roosting place for the night.
In picking stock from which to start
make your calculations that some are
wild and some are tame.
The Bronze variety Is very desirable
for the market on account of its size
and the sweet flavor of its meat, but
on account of its wild. rowing DISPOSE
ton this variety Is hard to raise. The
birds nearly always hide their nests
and perhaps will not be seen for a
month or two at Matching season.
The White Hollands are more domes-
ticated and are more apt to make their
nests about the barn and outbuildings,
same as chickens do. They are also
good layers having record of as high
as 100 eggs each.
They are probably a little harder to
raise than the Bourbon Reds. which,
by the way. are handsome birds. but
do not become quite so tame
All turkeys are peculiar about their
nests, and when they once select the
location they must not be disturbed
