His name is Obadiah Brown.
He says the town does not improve,
But runs along its ancient groove.
He'd, like to see it spread and grow,
And yet he does not help, you know.

AUTOS ON COUNTRY ROADS

An islander subscriber calls our at
tention by letter to recent editorial
in the Post -Intellingencer on the sub
ject of "Autos on Country Roads,"
in which approving reference is made
to suggestion mads in a complaint
from Snohomish county that the legis-
lature of the state be urged to make
such changes in the law as may be
necessary to give farmers free and safe
use of public highways. Our SUBJ
scriber friend says: "Our roads are
not wide enough in many places to-
permit ordinary vehicles to pass. and
should an auto meet team on those
places there certainly would be an &C.
cident for which we would all feel
sorry we had not taken steps to check
in time, as horses on our islands are
not used to them. and most of them
would get badly frightened, which
would cause great deal of damage
and perhaps the loss of life.''
The auto problem is not likely to
become a very serious one in this
county. at least not for some years,
and in the meantime legislation will
doubtless be enacted which will pro-
tect farmers and other modest travel
ers along the country highways against
reckless chauffeurs. When the great
beauties and attractions Of this coun-
ty become so widely known as to at
tract large numbers of wealthy sum-
mer visitors, the whistles Ut automo
biles may perhaps be heard along the
picturesque highways. but extensive
improvements in our roads will be
necessary before autos will become
very numerous among us. The horse
less carriage has undoubtedly given q
great impetus to road building and II
the large islands Of this county were
all we'll supplied with roads it Tor
auto travel the resulting benefits
would be enormous.
Think how fine it would be il we
could boast Of broad. smooth high
ways all over San Jaun. Lopez and
Orcas islands and fine hotels affording
every luxury demanded by wealthy
pleasure seekersi II these accessories
Of modern Civilization we're added to
the wonderful attractions with which
nature has 30 abundantly endowed this
county, II would require large and
finely equipped steamers to accomo-
date summer travel and the annual
tourist crop would boa highly profit

farmer and merchant in the county.

SOCIAL EVENTS.
Distinguished Guests From
The North Coming.

beginning October 22nd, the date
for the gathering OF the National
Beagle Club OF America, at the Meek
lenburg at Chase City, there will be a
number of wonderful social events.
The National Beagle Club is COM
posed of many of the wealthiest So
cial lions of America, and they have
unanimously selected the Mecklen-
burg Hotel as their place of meeting
This is on account OF the rare oppor-
tunity afforded for the forms of So
cial events, that they wish to have in
connection with their grand trials of
the Beagle Hounds after the hares.
All the guests of the Mecklenburg
at that time, will be guests of the
Beagle Club of America at these func-
tiOnS.
The occasion promises not only to
be one OF the most novel, but among
the most brilliant in the history of
the South. Never before has a South
ern resort entertained at one time go
many prominent Northern guests
Balls, banquets and other enter
tainments on an exceedingly grand
scale are to be given and Northern
bellies and beaux will vie with those

Several receptions are to be ten

SOutherners from several States have
already signified their intention to go
to Chase City to welcome the visitors
who are interested in molly Hare"

Playing Preach.
The ArmorY.


Did you ever see d man play preach?
With a manner that had been imita-
ted, a tone in which he had been
trained, and a sermon which he had
learned or copied, all of them beauti-
full, all affected, and all llunnatural-did
you ever see such man. cool, collect
ed, and composed, and free from fer
vor or agitation, going through his
work like a clock, earning his money.
and retiring with ar air of perfect
satisfaction and content? He does
''cry with a loud voice, as when "A
lion roareth;" he will ''roar as gentle
as sucking dove" he will preserve
all the proprieties of his position. he
will exhibit no earnestness, no reali-
ty. He makes no unguarded express
sion; he is faultless to a fault: every
thing is prim, precise and irreproach-
able; but what does the whole amount
to?
Oh, man OF God, get down from
these barren Knights of self conscious
ness and self conceit. Talk with the
Lord in honesty of soul. Talk to your
self words, and turn unto the Lord.
And let them be true words, even If
they are such as these: II am as dry
asagourd, as hollow as an egg-shell,
a mere bundle OF attitudes and plat
itudes, a cloud without water, an
empty vine, a fruitless tree, cumberer
OF the ground;-a good man, but
what am [ good for? Take me,
beak my heart, crush me, and bring
me down to know what / am. and
I to be what / should be-"
When men have come to take
such view as this OF the facts in the
case, let them be done with playing
preach, and come down from their
lofty platforms of empty dignity

Loyalty.
Durham Snn.


Some one has said that loyalty is
the soul of religion. Loyalty is the
soul of everything that has abiding
worth. 1t means a steadfastnessS
that money cannot unsettle. 1t
means an aherance to, that the tooth
of calumny cannot separate. 1t
means q devotion that time cannot
wear away.
We want such loyal souls today, in
church and school, in home and state.
! We want such loyalty in the home.
| Here is the seed house of all kinds OF
crops. Here is where the start is re-
ceived which will help to hinder the
moral upward rising of the individu-
al. We need such loyalty between
parents and children. We need it
between husband and wife
We are lacking in this loyalty in
the church. There are so few faith
| full church members, so few in COM
disloyal. We would like to hear of a
church where every member is loyal,
a loyalty which means fidelity. That
would indeed be a novel kind of a
church. The majority in every
church have a form of loyalty. Most
of church members are loyal to a
| certain extent. But not loyal in the
sense which means red-blooded eli
| thusiasm. The cause for which the
church stands is the highest and
widest There should be here, there
fore, the highest kind of loyalty. Oh!
| for LOYALTY of such a kind.

FINDLOTS OF GAME
THIS SEASON.
80, 600 Acre Preserve Has
Plenty of Game.

Those who know the game habit
say that every indication this year
in Mecklenburg County, Va, points
to the greatest game season in ten
years. Foxes were never so abun-
dant, quail are more plentiful than
they have been before in this decade,
more deer have been seen than for
several years, and the weather has
been such in this section that the
game is in more advanced state than
heretofore at this time of the year.
Protection to game afforded by the
State of Virginia up to the date of
open season has been a great bless
ing to this section and makes it pos
sible for hunters to find here ideal
conditions during the season. A 3d.
daily by employees of the Mecklen
burg, provides for guests of the Meek
lenburg Hotel unequalled opportuni-
ties for the very best hunting of all
kinds of game. The finest pack OF
fox hounds in the South belong to
the Mecklenburg, the magnificent
stables contain forty fine, experienced
fox hunters, and the hotel has in it's
employ capable aud courteous guides
for the convenience of the guests, fine
pointers and settlers for bird hunting
and beagle hounds for rabbit hunt
ing complete the list of necessities for
the seeker of this form of sport. No
where else is there to be found such
outdoor sports as are provided
by the Mecklenburg Hotel and the
Mecklenburg preserves. Horses and
dogs are hired out by the day and
the guides are experienced with both
The rates are SO reasonable that this
form OF amusement is cheaper at the
Mecklenburg than anywhere else in
the South, especially when the
amount of game is to be considered.
There is no more place to spend a
while than at the Mecklenburg Hotel

If there is one thing more than an
other that seems to have held back

ton Cd. CO. Herald.
And this is as mysterious to US as it

NATIONAL BEAGLE
CLUB COMING SOUTH
Who the Distinguished Wis
itOrS Will be.

Among the men and women who
will come from the North to attend
the Beagle Club meeting at the Neck
lenburg at Chase City, are some of
the distinguished of America s mon
led social class. There will be about
two hundred to come to the meeting,
bringing the finest hounds owned in
America, Among the members who
will attend, are such names of
prominence as the following:
James W. Appleton, A V. Huyler,
Geo. B. Post, Jr., VIM. G. Rockefeller,
Mrs. VIM. G. Rockefeller, Franklin
Remington. Harry Payne Whitney,

yea, Westbury, l.. L.; Gardner Cas-
satt, G. Cadwalader, Philadelphia,

Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Jr., will
probably give one of her novel recep-
have advised the Mecklenburg man
agement that it will be pleasure to
them to entertain the other guests
OF the nOUel at all or the functions
which will be given during their stay
at the Mecklenburg.
The names given above are few
of prominence selected from list of
more than two hundred who will at
tend. Practically all of the men,
bers are people OF National reputa-
ton.
The Beagle Club is one of the most
exclusive organizations in this coun-
try, and the novelty of it will attract
to the Mecklenburg at Chase City,
many distinguished Southerners, who
are interested in the same way. 1t is
likely that this will be the most dis
tinguished social gathering ofsevaral
years in the South.
Special hotel and railroad rates
will make this great gathering.
