the Gary and Western railroad will
soon take steps to building viaduct

The petition has ben presented to the

In loving remembrance of VIII
liam Nicholas Walker, aged three
months. infant son of MIR. and Mrs.
Mortimer Walker. Died Dec. 1,
1908.
The brief December afternoon
was already fading into twilight,
when a precious little life that had
lived scarce three months, closed its
beautiful eyes, to awaken the bosom
of the Saviour, who has said of
such is the kingdom of Heaven. !"
During his short illness, hands
of love gave him ,tenderest service,
but the shadows of silence claimed
him, ere the dawn of his little life
had faded.
When little lives go out. no more on earth well
hear the pattering feet.
Or voice that seems some note from saints re-
treat;
But teach as God. that stiIl some hope remains
To guide us. as a beacon. DER the plains
That baby hands. however frail they are,
Can hold for US the heavens gates aiar-
When little lives go OUT

A More Perfect Country.

The Southern Commercial Con
gress, which convened at Washing
ton, Monday, plastered the South s
future with roseate hues. The
South was pictured as a country
where nature had been lavish Of
gifts, and full Of rich resources,
It's possibilities were discussed as
awaiting only the touch of indus
try and intelligence to quicken
them to life. The greatest obstruc-
tons to its development, up to now,
were imputed to sectionalism and
lack Of transportation facilities.
Both of these, no doubt, have re-
tarded its progress, but the South
ia not altogether to blame for the
existence Of the one nor the lack
Of the other.
However, some Of the speakers
did charge that the hostility Of
Southern legislatures to railroads
had operated to minimize road
building in the South. The CON
census of opinion Of the Congress,
however. indicated a changed senti-
ment along all these lines, and an
era of unparalleled economical and
commercial development was proph-
esied for this section. The inter
lacing of the East. the North. the
South and the West with a
network of railroads, canals and
deep water ways channels, and the
completion Of the Panama canal
10 afford the outlet of products
through Southern ports, it was
thought. would break down sec
tIonal lines and weld every part
of the Union into q more perfect
country. The south believes all
of this. and will do her part to has
ten the day.

Elk's Lodge of Sorrow.

'Tis the gentle Autumn of tender
memory,
The Indian Summer of our grief"
Sunday afternoon. promptly at
three O'Clock, Aberdeen Lodge, No.
$50, B.P.O.E. assembled in the
Lodge room of the Elk's Home, TO
hold their memorial service, in
memory of their absent brothers.
The custom is a beautiful one, and
the silent roll call is one of the
most impressive features. Sunday
afternoon the rain poured in tor
rents, greatly diminishing an au-
dience, which usually fills every
seat in the lodge-room. However,
the entire lodge of the ever faithful
Elks answered present, y and
many interested friends were there
to enjoy the delightful musical pro-
gram and the beautiful ceremonies
presided over by Exalted Ruler
J. NJ. Acker. The lodge room was
simply but most effectively decorat-
ed in ferns, palms and white chry-
santhemums, with graceful drape-
ries Of the Elks colors in purple and
white. Each year this work of
love is done under the supervision
of Mrs. J NJ. Acker, president of
The Ladies' Auxiliary, and each
year, a more beautiful decorative
scheme prevails. In the absence of
Rev. J. P. Harrington, who was
officiating at the funeral of Mr..
Thomas J. Brannan, at that hour,
DIR. ILLUS Granlof, a member of
the vestry of st. Johns Episcopal
Church delivered the invocation.
with reverent solemnity.
The greatest disappointment in
the beautiful ceremonies, was the
unavoidable absence, due to illness
of Hon. Earl Brewer. of Clarksdale,
Miss. the orator of the occasion,
the gifted speaker, whose fervid
eioquence and brilliant imagery, is
like unto the gathering of stars.
The greatest praise is due the
chairman, and committee on ar
engagements, for the splendid pro-
gram, also Miss Sue Houston who
was musical director and accompa-
mist.

Alfalfa Mill for Aberdeen,

There are more than 20O0 acres
planted to Alfalfa in Monroe coun-
~. The acreage lies near to Aber-
deen and the growth should find
this place its market The product
from this acreage aggregates more
than 10000 tons of alfalfa hay
yearly, and more territory is in
prospect to be planted to the crop.
Now Alfalfa hay is the base of most
of the socalled high class stock
foods. Mixed with corn chops. SUI
gar beet. low grade sugar, or even
sorghum, Alfalfa. when ground into
meal, makes the highest priced
commercial stock food The sugar
beet, it is believed, can be grown
successfully in this soil and latitude.
Corn, alfalfa and sorghum are al
ready grown here with profit. Then
what is the matter with a new in
dustry for Aberdeen. We mean an
alfalfa mill. The cost of such
mill, we understand, is about Sl5,-
600, and its output, where the raw
material can be had, is exception
ally profitable, the product selling
readily at $500 per ton. Diversi
~ of crops among the farmers and
diversity Of business among the
town people are the keys to unlock
prosperity to this section. Here Is
an industry in which both town and
country can unite to their mutual
benefit. A mill of this kind would
do much towards reducing the acre
age to cotton, and, at the same
time, stimulate stock and meat rails
ing in the country. The business
end of this article is just here.
Aberdeen must get busy and put in
an alfalfa mill right away. or else
let a great part of the growth of her
prairie go to West Point. That
town is just on the eve of putting
in an alfalfa mill If it does, and
Aberdeen has no such enterprise,
the 10000 tons of alfalfa hay pro-
duced in Monroe county win go to
that town to be manufactured into
stool Iood. and, of course, will carry
rs contingent of other products and
trade. Newspapers. as general
thing, are hearlds on the watch
tower, warning and suggesting for
the good of the community they
serve. The Weekly emphasizes the
importance of our business men
looking into the merits of an al
falfa mill at once.

The executive committee Of the
State Teachers Association has at
last realized that the red tape meth
DDS paraded by recent authors of
spelling books are theories formu-
lated to market their books. They
have learned that correct spelling
is not acquired through theory. but
is the result of practice. They
have, therefore, provided an old
time spelling match as a feature OF
their next meeting. to be practicipa-
ted in by the schools Of the State.

in the cloud Of faddism that has low
cred over the educational world so

Of some good spoilers.
