THE FALSE AND TRUE
A cottage nestled in a grove,
A babbling brook near by,
And green fields stretching far away
Leaves naught for me to sigh.
A calm retreat, a quiet place,
When | am tired and sad
To meet with Jesus face to face,
Ills only then I'm glad.
IT'S trueI sometimes laugh and dance
And play a gayer part
Then mOrtals superficial glance
Leaves gladness in my heart.
Oh, friends; Iplucked a poison flower!
Its sweetness soon was spent;
Now give me, please, quiet hour
With Jesus to repent.

Here And There

The following is an extract from 9
very interesting letter from E. J. Fen
ton, Eureka, Montana:
IF 1t were not for winter wheat
potatoes and apples, we would be left
unknown to the trade centers. When
they want apples they know in Chica-
go that we have a quality that keeps
in store till August FLAT Head county
Montana, is famous for fruit more
and more is being planted and still
the demand is greater than the supply.
In Chicago our 40 ID. boxes are grad
ed up at 1925 per box. You can
pencil out what that is per barrel.
Those who plant have apple pie the
year through here. My grandmother
coming from Wales said "a poke of
apple seeds would buy the world in
less than century. l never thought
of those facts until came here in this
little fruit dominion. On the dry
ranch planting 40 trees to the acre,
cultivating in potatoes to hold mois-
ture 10 soil. Now, the fruit growers
who know the value Of fruit culture,
tell US the land has reached the hun
dred dollar mark when the 40 trees
are growing, Four hundred growing
trees are the $1,000 marks for ten acres.
Five acres in fruit trees always sells
a ranch here. So that should any of
your friends or neighbors talk of com
ing this direction, kindly hint to them
to bring the apple, pear, peach, cherry
and apricot trees. We're l back there
to ship car, I'd have it half full of
cherry sprouts, I'd dig all over Ham.

deal here. One neighbor pointed to a
cherry tree that he shook $40 from it's
boughs. the birds having had their
share besides. 1t is not uncommon
for full bearing orchard to sell for
$500 to 800 per acre and the buyer
gets 80 per cent on the annual returns
We have known the fruit crops for six
summers and no failures. You know
the hardware man can go to the shelf
and find his stock ready, and so it is

Death Of a Venerable Citizen.

On last Saturday morning, after many
months of confinement from sickness
and advanced age, Thomas M. Hawkins
departed this life at the home of his
son-in-law, A. M. Millard, in this town.
He was nearly eighty-two years old and
was IN many respects a remarkable
man.
Mr.. Hawkins was born and raised in
Halifax county, Va, and for a number
of years resided at Rocky Mount, Va,
where he was married. Just after the
close of the Civil War he moved to Pu-
laski county, and in 1873 moved to Taze-
well, where he has since resided.
The deceased was a man of strong,
native intellect and possessed of wonder
full energy. Even after he had reached
four score years he was remarkably ac-
tive as worker, though greatly handi-
capped by excessive corpulence. He
was very devoted member of the Mis-
sionary Baptist Church, but was fond
of attending the services at all the
churches.
The deceased is survived by two sons,
Messrs. T. M. Hawkins, of Tazewell,
and w. H. Hawkins, of Dublin, Va;
and two daughters, Mrs. A. M. Millard,
of Tazewell, and Mrs. John w. Mccall,
of Graham. He is also survived by
more than twenty grandchildren and
several great-grand-children.
After his death the Rev. H. M.
Fugate, his former pastor at this place,
but now residing at Farmville, Va,
was telegraphed for and came here.
On Sunday afternoon Rev. Fugate
conducted the funeral services at the
Baptist church, and the remains were
afterwards buried at the new cemetery
by the side of his wife, who departed
this life about thirteen years ago. A
large crowd of relatives and friends at
tended the services at the church and
the grave.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Pay your poll taxes without further
delay, so you can vote at the President
ial election next November. You have
to pay before the 4th day of May, or
your suffrage will be lost, thanks to the
iniquitous provisions of the New Con-
stitution.
Those Democrats who are sincerely
for honest politics ought to put them
selves to work and help the Republicans
get rid of the partisan registration and
election laws under which we are now
forced to live. No more dishonest
measure has been enacted than the poll
tax qualification for voting. All honest
citizens should help to repeal it.
The Democratic leader in the House
of Representatives, John Sharp Will
liams, is pursuing a fiibustering course
to delay the work of the Republican
majority in Congress. This is evidence
of the fact that the Democrats are in
capable of introducing anything but a
negative policy. A negative policy
means nothing so far as the best inter-
ests of the people are concerned.
Mr.. Bryan's friends from Nebraska
attended the National Convention of the
Populists which was held at st. Louis
last week. The Nebraska delegation
tried to get the convention to adjourn
without making nomination, in the in
terest of Mr.. Bryan as the Democratic
candidate. The Populists refused to
adjourn and nominated Thomas E.
Watson, of Georgia, as their candidate
for President. Thereupon the Nebraska
delegation bolted. This drives another
nail in Bryan's Political coffin. With
out the support of the Populists and
Hearst's Independence League he will
suffer more telling defeat in 1908 than
he did in 1900.

honor guest at banquet given by the
Mckinley Club. The secretary took
occasion tonight to place before the

of VIM. ]. Bryan, when the Dem
ocratic leader criticized the action of
the Mckinley and Roosevelt adminis-
trations for their policy in the Philippines
Mr.. Taft stated that Mr.. BRYAN was
not consistent in his utterances because
he had been the means in a large de-
gree, of bringing about the signing of
the treaty of Paris whereby the Phil
ippines came under control of the
United States, and he is now criticizing
the action of the administration because
of its efforts TO teach the art of self
government.
