there from his only daughter, little
barley Belle, who was born March
Bird 1906 and departed this life Feb. !
10Th 1907, being ii months and 10
days old.
Little barley leaves father and
three little brothers to mourn her
loss, but she has certainly gone to

Christian life) in the happy throng
The mother preceded the little one
to the Great Beyond by about ten
months.
AS Christ said Suffer little chill

OF Heaven"
Well baby we must give you 10
tho Lord for it was no who called
thee to be shining jewel in his
crown and az we go on through life
we will prepare TO join you in your
happy lay. SO farewell barley but
not forever, only through this weary
life. But as Job said "The Lord
gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
So through the resurrection and in
the high calling in Christ Jesus, our
tears are only dried and we will
meet in that heavenly homo, where
He who is our Savior will wipe all
the tears from our eyes.

We STAND CORRECTED.


In your issue Of Feb. II
after critcising some statements
made by Jonah you say: TWEEN
ty five years ago Gilmer county
was like Calhoun is now without
bridges. They proposed issuing
bonds and building bridges but
the Doubling Thomases were too
numerous and the proposition
went down to defeat; but they
tried again and the proposition
carried. A bridge was built at
Chenille. Since then every
stream of any size in the county
has been b.idged, TIE bonds all
taken UP and they now have q
nice surplus. Ask any one of
the citizens Of that county anc
he will tell you that he never felc
the extra burden Of taxation
while the bonds were being paid
off. Editor"
Being a Doubling Thomas"
myself who viii know the truth,
though it be necessary to thrust
my hand into the wound, / wrote
to the Clerk Of the County court
of Gilmer, w. Va, and received
the following reply which I en-
close herewith.

Dear Sir
We beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt Of your letter of the 18th.
inst, and in reply to same will
say, that our county never issued
any bonds for any purpose.
If there was bridge to be
built or any other improvements
to be made the same was paid by
increasing the County Levy so as
to meet the amount expended for
improvements, but always keep
ing the levy within the bounds OF
the law. elmer county has
built Is iron bridges in the last Is
years and at the present time
does not owe a dollar.
Yours very truly,
JAMES II. ARBUCKLE,
Clerk.
By N. E. RYMER,
Now, Mr. Editor, believing
that your statements, though not
correct, were made by you il
good faith and that you will as
gladly correct misstatements
made by yourself as those made
by Jonah.
In justice to yourself, youl

Yours truly,

REWARD Is NOW OUT FOR
 WOOD
Sheriff White Authorized To Offer S100,-No Definite h. formation As To Fugitive's Whereabouts.

Although it has been rumored ever since warrant was issued for the arrest of Richard F. Wood about ten days ago, that a reward would be of fered for his capture, 1t was not until yesterday that it was learned Sheriff White had heen authorized to pay any one capturing the fugitive and holding him until the arrival of the Arizona officers, at the scene the sum of $l0O.
 Up to the present time Wood has been successful in evaGing arrest but it is thought that he will be located within a short time as the officers are confident that information now in their possession will lead to the finding of his hiding place.
 The last seen Of Wood was in Los Angeles about two weeks ago, when Deputy Sheriff Bill White and Dep uty City Marshal Frank Johnson were at the coast spending their vacation, and met the former bookkeeper of the defunct brokerage firm. For several days Wood was almost continually in the company of the officers. but at that time no complaint had been
 sworn out against him and none was
 expected He finally disappeared and
 about two days later White received ltelegraphic instructions from the sher
 if to take the man into custody. Owing to the start of forty-eighi ] hours which he was afforded Wood has succeeded so far in steering cleal of the clutches of the law. It is re
 ported however. that when he Jeff l the city presumably to go to Tucson
 to accept position with the Southern I Pacific Railroad Company. he was il ' stratened circustances and borrowed
 some money from friend.
 Since his disappearance report ha, become current of alleged criminal | conduct on the part of Wood while ] employed in Douglas. where it Is al
 leged he gave himself credit of $3t | to which he was not entitled and fol which he afterward settled and Wa: not prosecuted
 Circulars containing a description o
 Wood and his photograph have beeI fsent all over the country by the sheriffs office.

He feplied that he was not, when the other man told him he had better go since he was the supervising engineer of the project. Then he got busy and found he had missed the instructions ad- vising him of his wider field. which had been sent to Arizona while he was on his way east. +He went to i Garden City

MIDNIGHT FIGHT WITH TWO
 COONS
Phoenix Man Returns From Circus to Find African Burg lars In His House, And Uses Japanese Sword.
(Phoenix Democrat.)

The loss ov valuable jewelry, a bro ken sword, a splintered door, and ruff fled feelings are the results of an exciting encounter which Captain T. Cornell had with burglars last night in his home at 63S North Seventh street
 As the captain and his family were returning from the circus, they no ticed a light in the house, and sus- pected that the place was being ran sacked by burglars, the captain hur- ried to the house and ran upstairs, just in time to confront huge ne gro.
 The burglar drew billy and made for Cornell. and he, snatching a Jap anese sword from the wall, began using it on the negro. and he contin- ued using it until the weapon was bro ken over the colored mans head.
 Then the negro turned and ran down stairs and escaped by jumping through a screen door, taking the door With him.
 After chasing him well off the premises, Cennell re-entered the house and went into the curio room muttering to himself and wishing that he had had a gun.
 Just then a face blacker than the ace of spades protruded itself iron behind a portiere and another negro | appeared
 ! The captain had absolutely nc weapon this time. not even a sword and the black man picked of watei ] ollo. threatening to bring it down or | the captains head if he were not al lowed to depart unmolested. There was nothing to do but grant his re quest, and he was accordingly. al lowed to go in peace.
 Captain Cornell notified the city marshal at once. and the stock yardi and departing trains were watched in the hope of catching the burglars It is practically certain that they lief | along with the circus.
 Charles White, the detective fol Ringing Bros. offered to exert ever, effort to land the men in Tucson. The police have good descriptions of then for they were seen loafing around town yesterday afternoon.
 At first it was thought that little O value had been stolen from the Con ThelPs aside from the captains re flyolYerg But git was later discovered that a considerable amount of iewelry was missing. The pieces of jewelry were family Aeiriooms. and were high ly prized for that reason aside iron their intrinsic valne.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Don't dig the autumn leaves into
your garden now; make a compost
heap.
Prune trees for fruit in spring as
soon as leaves are about full grown
Tor wood growth in winter when dor
mant and wood is not frozen.
Do not delay in mulching the straw
berry beds, If not already done Coarse
March hay is best, but use straw or
coarse litter rather than nothing.
Mice and rabbits sometimes burrow
into the snow and gnaw the bark of
the fruit trees. Go around the orchard
and stamp the snow in around the
trees.
Pear cider, or perry, is made in ex
actly the same way as apple cider
But perry is much less palatable than
apple cider, and has never become
popular in America.
In laying down raspberries for win

OF the plants, loosening the roots or
the other. Then lay down the plants

Preserving Our Forests.

One of the most hopeful signs of the
times Is the changing attitude of the
tumbermen toward the science of for
estry as fostered by the federal gov
eminent. They are beginning to see
that their industry is doomed to an
early extinction unless the wastage is
checked and the forest is renewed for
future generations. And, more than
his, says Maxwell's Talisman. unless
the forests are preserved, vast tracts
81 fertile and prosperous America will
become desert in the next century
mis- is lesson taught by such coun-
tries as Tunis, now part of the Afri-
can desert, which in old times was
smiling and populous garden. An
Arab chronicler relates that Gin those
days one could walk from Tunis to
Tripoli in the shade" The Arab con-
quest destroyed the forest, and the
desert swept over the face of the land

Pick Chickens While Warn,

Chickens after being killed should
be picked at once, as at that time the
feathers pull off easiest. After the
fowls become cold the feathers mil
hard. The skin is also easily torn
at that time, which of course is a
detriment where the birds are to be
sold on the market.

The Infinite.

From every point of view and from
everything that the human mind
touches we are in touch everywhere

just as absolute fact as the most
finite thing touched by the mind or the
