not only absolutely fearless, absolutely
disinterested and upright. but he has
the widest acquaintance of the nations

Weather Notes.

Galveston, Dec. THE disturbance
central yesterday over Minnesota has
moved rapidly eastward over the Lake
region and has been followed by a
cold wave of considerable intensity.
A decided fall in temperature has
occurred over large area extending
from the Plateau eastward into the
Lake region and Ohio valley and south
ward to northern Texas. Over the
greater portion of this area the tenn
perature has fallen from 20 degrees
to over 30 degrees, and 1t is now
below zero in the northwest. The freez
ing line dips southwark through Ok
lahoma and northwest Texas. Rain
has fallen on the Texas coast and in
several eastern districts, and light
snow in the Rocky mountain region,
upper valleys and northern Michigan.
AT time of report the temperature in
Texas ranged from 26 degrees at
Amarillo to GA degrees on the coast.

sition. No mans daughter remained
away because some neighbours daugh-
ter wore finer clothes and Jewels
than she could buy. Life was not so
strenuous then. There was not so
much money to be raised then. Man
had more time to love his fellow man,
and less necessity and temptation to
fraud and dishonesty. The children
spelled out of the blueback spelling
book, and parsed out of Smiths gram
mar; men folks had time to live and
women folks had time to live. But
the plain and simple ways are passing
rapidly. Some of these plain, slow
folks have been run over by automo-
biles, some killed by aeroplanes, some
ruined by "damnation of expenses"
while some have reformed" and are
working their daylight" out trying
to keep up with other folks as badly
distressed as themselves.
Sometimes feel that we have trad
ed off a good bit of pure gold for
sounding brass" in many of these
changes. Not that We should go back
to the loghouse church, or the OK cart,
not that; but that the heart-breaking
extravaganza of this age should be
checked and that we might once
again come to understand that fine
feathers do not make fine BIRDS"
that the words of immortal Burns
might again find response in our
ideals:
What thae on namely fare we dine,
Wear holden grey and a that;
Gle fools their silks and knaves their
wine,
A mans a man for a that"

ture of Troons


Springfield. H.. Aug. 2O.-Fear and
terror prevails in the homes of Spring
field negroes. The departure of two
regiments of infantry and the an
nouncement that two more organiza-
tions will he sent home caused con-
sternation among the colored resi-
dents.
The mob will be here sure If those
soldiers go away" they said, and dele
cations were hastily organized and
sent to the state, county and city ofi-
cials to protest against a relaxation
OF the military regime. The authori-
ties efforts to quiet this feeling were
only partially successful. and in many
en- humble home there was no sleep.
Scores of the terror-stricken blacks
sought refuge in the arsenal. The ex-
odus OF negroes. which had begun to
abate, was renewed. Trains and troll
ley cars were used by those fortunate
enough to possess a little mony. but
many OF the unfortunates took TO the
road, tramping across the country in
drizzling rain until exhaustion forced
them to seek rest in corn fields or in
wood iots.

be 50 for a two-hOrse wagon and $40
for four-horse wagon for each wear.
This license shall begin, be due and paw
able. as other taxes, on January 1st.
1909. The following shall be extended
to the owners OF such wagons as a privi-
lege: II such owner shall use on two
horse wagons four-inch tires and on four
horse wagons six inch tires, and for each
additional horse one-inch more in width
Of tire, then no license shall be collected
from such owner.
Now, gentlemen, II you give the owners
OF teams and wagons such roads as that
they may haul at their convenience,
none OF them Will object to the above
proposition. We ask you. gentlemen, to
consider this matter seriously and act on
1t at once.
