The British soldier Is beginning TO feel

II is an open secret that the attitude
Of the natives towards M Thomas
Atkins was becoming unbeatable under
Lord Curzon's rule. Natives in some OF
the smaller cities were acquiring the
habit OF jostling Tommy in the streets

The goosebone has long since prog

out Of his hole this morning. served no.

with ground hog knows he would not

danger Of getting his feet or nose frost

Al the Weather Bureau the opilion

LAY CORNERSTONE
OF LANGDON CHURCH

The Right Rev A. A Curtis, bishop
of Baltimore. has been chosen 10 lay
the cornerstone Of the church 10 be
erected on the site OF the old Queen s
Chapel. on Queen Chapel road, south OF
Langdon, d. C. The ceremony will take

The building OF the new church is a

Old Queens Chapel and the surround

District. The old graveyard OF the
church is replete with romance and
quaint little graves that seem TO have
been associated with the church from

Some time ago there was small

WHAT! JOHN SMITH IGNORED
AT JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION?
Pocahontas Has Statue, But Man Who Made Tercen-
tenary Possible Has No Memorial Correspondent
Depores the Omission.

For. as Mr. Simms says in his biog-
raphy. in reference TO Captain Smiths
closing days. "his soul was ever in
America; his body remained in Eng
land"
In conclusion the historian tells as
that smith died in London, In 1881 in
the hfty-secOnd year OF his age. and that
"'he probably died In Obscurity, for none
Of the facts attending his demise remain
10 as lie had survived his uses. at
least, in the estimation Of the public and
his patrons. That they erred in Judg-
ment viii not be held a matter OF doubt
by those who have witnessed the proofs
of his good sense. far-reaching sagacity.
and great mental activity. That Capt,
John smith should have shared the fate
Of merit. 10 be neglected after the COM
pletion Of his tasks, win not lessen the
value Of his performances IN the regard
Of posterity."
His was the character OF a truly great
man whose memory should be honored
by all the English speaking people

Can Moultrie afford to see her military
company mustered our and the material
shipped away? We think she can very i'll
afford it. We in section and amid
conditions that make it especially i'm portant
that we should have a company of militia
here for protection. 1t is hard to account
for the general apathy of our people in re.
oard TO this matter, and we fear that the
time NAV come when we shall seriously re-
pret having allowed so imp ortant a matter
to pass so lightly.-Moultrie Observer
Fitzgerald still holds her military company,

citizens fail to appreciate it. AS long as there

What is the trouble between Congress-
man Griggs and the Fitzgerald Enterprise?
That paper seldom lets the occasion for jab-
bling it's pencil into Our Jim" pass.-Bain-
bridge Searchlight
IF we undertook to tell cambridge
neighbor all about the trouble it would require
several columns of space and it would be too
warm for cotton mail sacks The people of the
second district owe it to themselves, the young
men and bows, to put man of sober habits in
Grigg's place in congress. If the district has
no fit and proper person to fill the place of the
boozer, then it's a sad commentary on the fifteen
counties composing that district. When he de-
feated Judge Bower for that Office every intelli-
gent citizen of the district realized that high
moral character and exem plary public SER
vice counted for naught as against the dema-
gogue, and that his election a result of the
fanatical political wave that swept all too many
men of his class into office rather than the COM
parative merits of the candidates.
