The Lazy Mr.. Smith.
New York Americana

New York Americana
Philosophic Mr.. Smith never let HIM
self grow teary,
Everything that came along left him
gay and cherry.
He smiled, when all his money went
in bank and business wrecks,
I'm glad it's gone-it saves the job
of signing endless checks.
Smiths home was quite a mansion,
though very snug and cozy;
Yet when it burned to ashes, he
deemed the outlook rosy.
'Of course, l liked the place." he
said, but things are just as we'll
hated, coming home at night, to
have to ring the bell"
He had wife for twenty years and
loved her very dearly;
Yet when at length she up and died
he acted very queerly;
TN rather glad that Polly's
gone" he said lin doubtful taste) J,
Because it saves the tedious task of
buttoning up her waist"
The time that Smith was nearly kill
ed beneath a flying trolley
He didn't make lament at all, but
seemed to think it jolly.
They said his legs must both come
off: he chuckled at the news
And murmured, Amt l lucky to get
out Of lacing shoes?"
He reached ripe old age. did Smith
because he didn't worry;
But when the Reaper came along he
came in quiteAa hurry;
And as the doctors broke the news.
Smith gayly welcomed death.
Because he said, I'm sick and
tired of the job of drawing
breath.

viii PPObated.

The will of the late Miss Ma
lissa Hopkins. who died Monday,
has been probated before the
clerk of court. 1t was dated
July the 18th, 1907.
In the will Miss Hopkins gave
away $4,000 Of her estate and
left the remainder, supposed to
be worth close to $40, 600, in
trust for the support of an invalid
nephew so long as he shall live.
The trust estate is then disposed
of by direction that it be divided
share and share alike between
Messrs. Allan Thomas, this city;
W. A. Muse, of Atlanta, who
married niece of Miss Hopkins,
and to Miss Ella Hopkins, of
Missouri, another neice.
The present beneficiaries under
the will are: Trinity Methodist
church, $500; Mrs. Bertha Willis,
$500; Miss Maggie Palmer, $500;
Miss Ella Hopkins, $500; W. A.
Muse, $1,000; Master Norman
Hopkins Thomas, son of Allan
Thomas, 81, 900, and Alex Lyon
$500. The last amount is left to
defray the expenses for one year
of Alex Lyon, a nephew, while
he is in a sanitarium north. The
will then provides that the re-
mainder of the estate shall be
held in trust by the trustees,
Messrs. Allan Thomas and Delos
w. Sorrell, in order to defray the
expenses of the Lyon boy until
he shall be cured or dies. Then
the estate is to be divided as
directed above. Otherwise the
estate is to remain together and
the accumulations are to be used
for the maintenance of the boy.

NJ. Gattis and after exhibiting his
license from the State Supreme
Court and subscribing to the nec-
essary oaths, he was admitted to

Hon. S. NJ. Gattis appeared for
the defendant. Collins rendered
a plea of guilty of murder in the
second degree. which was accept
ed by the State, and he was SEN
fenced to hard labor in the State
prison for Is years.

n Good Tobacco Year

The tobacco growers of Maryland
continue to receive good prices for this
years crop. These range now from 8
to Is cents a pound, and it is a poor
quality which will not yield7 or cents
a pound. An occasional hogshead of
extra fine quality, carefully handled,
will bring IA cents pound. Such
stock is scarce. however, and buyers do
not seem to be particularly anxious to
Gull it out or to raise the market price
for the other grades unduly.
One feature Of the present situation
which is satisfying to the grower is the
sharp competition which prevails for
the stock that comes on the market All
the buyers are constantly on the alert
and the offerings are promptly sold.
This prevents any accumulation and
causes a keenncss in the buying which
will likely hold prices to the present
basis throughout the crop season.

Parental Companionship

A very pleasant sight and and hope
full sign, too, is where father and son
are friends Neither can have better
one, if he is real one, nor a more en-
joyable one if they understand one an
other, which is easy to do. There is
more health, outlook, joy and profit in
that sort of companionship than any
they can form in the busy walks of
life.
Neither the authority Of the father
or the respect Of the son need be sacri-
feed to sustain this relation. These
blend together, when they occupy the
middle ground of friendship, and be
come Kindness and courtesy. But the
practical effect Of such compani0nship
if sustained by the father with kindly
common sense, is a real education for
the boy, for il directs his life toward
affairs that have worth aud meaning to
them. This does not mean that there
is to be no folly or fun, but that it is
not all to be folly and fun that there
are to be times of reflection, taking ac-
count of things ana figuring out the
real value of events
