Keep the Cow Clean.

DR.. J. G. B. Bullock, who is a
member of the Bullock family of
Georgia, and a cousin of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in making an adj
dress recently before the Inter
national tuberculosis Congress,
called attention to the milk sup
ply and declared that while we
are DESTROYS of preventing the
spread of tuberculosis we should
look out for other diseases.
A cow" he said, should be
kept as clean or cleaner than an
Individual by being thoroughly
bathed at least once or twice a
week. Only the purest water
should be given her, for if allow
ed to drink from the impure
stream Of the pasture or from
pools of water she may in this
way infect the milk and thus
carry the germs of disease.
''The attendant should not on
ly be a healthy individual, free
from disease of nose and throat,
but should wear a white suit and
should have hands thoroughly
washed before milking; the udder
of the cow should at every milk
ing be thoroughly washed and
all vessels intended to receive
the milk should be thoroughly
secured. The stall where the
cow is to be MIXED should be of
cement finish and thoroughly
cleaned before the milking pro-
cess begins. After the milk is
drawn it should Immediately be
put open the ice and the utensil
kept upon to prevent thA devel-
opment of tyrotoxicon. F."

one because of the heat. In
sections of the South there are
winters when there is very little
cold weather and it is not until
late that hogs may be slaughter
ed. Here is a receipt which is
said to be a good one: For ZOO
pounds of meat take ten quarts
of saltpeter; one pound of pepper
and two pounds of yellow sugar.
Mix well, put in a tub or some
suitable vessel, and then apply
the mixture we'll to the meat.
Care should be taken to apply
it thoroughly in the cracks and
around the edges. After the
meat has taken all the salt posi-
BILE, hang it up and powder it
with powdered borax. Then
smoke the meat. This is said to
be the most successful method
of sailing meat there is, both
from a standpoint of purity and
flavor. Elk.

What is the funniest story you
ever heard? A man Of this town
being asked the question, told
this one. At a Sunday school the
teacher asked: "Who drove the
children of Israel into Canaan?"
Not a child answered and there
was continued silence after she
had repeated the question. Then
the teacher, with considerable
spirit, said: "You, little boy on
the back seat, who drove the
children of Israel into Canaan"'
He was badly frightened but
managed to rise and say: 81

Be Patient.

Patience has been sometimes
regarded as negative virtue.
In recounting the traits of true,
manhood we are apt to overlook
this quiet and unobtrusive factor
in greatness Of character. Pa
thence is an essential Of all
worthy achievement. 1t is the
power that overcomes and gains
the goal. Many a man of high
purpose falls short of attainment
by reason of Impotence. 1t is
the weakness of ardent souls
that they will not tolerate delay.
There is something splendid in
the spirit that compels circum-
stances and drives through the
opposing lines of fate; but in a
majority of instances the man
who seeks success by this meth
cd falls a martyr to the cause he
champions. The attitude of him
who waits and plans and FORCES
on to his mark step by step, win
ming the prize without fanfare
of trumpets or tumult of appear
ance, but winning it with his
powers still fresh and his re-
serve of strength undiminished,
is no less splendid. He lives to
enjoy the advantage of his labor.
He survives to serve in the
larger sphere that he has reach
ed by patience.
An old colored man stole a pig
and after getting home with the
animal knelt to pray before re-
firing. His wife heard him pray
ing to the Lord to forgive him
for stealing the pig. She went
to sleep with Uncle Eph still
praying. Later in the night she
woke up and saw him still kneel-
ing in prayer. At daybreak his
supplications had not ceased.
"Eph, why don't you come to
bed?" asked his wife. 'Let me

like it very much. In fact, most
every reading man around here
takes it and we all think it about
the best county paper that has
ever struck us.
Nothing much new going on
down here. Some bad colds and
grippe in the country, otherwise
the health of the community is
good.
Esq. John D. Sharp's wife has
been on the sick list for ten days
or more, but is better now.
Mr.. Bob Elliott, who has been
afflicted for a long time with a
cancer on his face, is growing
worse very rapidly and there
seems to be no sort of a chance
for the doctors to give him any
permanent relief.
We are having nice Springlike
weather and it is giving a black
eye to the hogkilling business.
The corn crop on Crocus is
about gathered, the Yield was
reasonably good, the grade Of a
superior quality to ordinary, it
usually sells here at gathering
time at about two dollars per
barrel, but this year it is going
at two-ffty and not much to be
had at that.
No hogs scarcely at all, faten-
ed on Crocus this year for the
market and what few there is,
are being readily disposed of at
5 cents per pound.
The Gulf Red Cedar Company,
of Alabama and Virginia have
been doing immense work in the
cedar business on Crocus creek
and it's tributaries, during the
past Summer and Fall. They
have cut, hauled and throwed in
the bed of the creek, at different
place for some eight or ten miles
above here, twenty or twenty
five thousand cedar poles and
logs, ranging in size, from six
inches to two feet in diameter
and from ten to sixty feet in
length, all to go down the creek
on the first big rise to near its
mouth, where they expect to
catch them in some monster
booms that they have prepared
there for that purpose. Then to
be RATED and shipped down
Cumberland river to some mar
ket, (which have forgotten, to
be made into cedar pencils. Now
if these logs don't block up, on
their way down and tear the
bottom out of Crocus creek or
some mans corn field, it will be
a wonder to Davie Crockett.

Liver Trouble
Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be his

liver trouble, for the symptoms can
not be mistaken. If the white OF the

enabling the liver to do it's work natur-
ally A bottle of this great liver remedy
can be bought of any druggist for 80
cents or 81, and in many cases a single

For example. John w. Lee, 619 S. Penn
SylVania ave., Indianapolis, Ind, had
stubborn and very long standing case Of
liver trouble, with pimples, blotches,
jaundice, etc. and it cured him. Mrs. b.
Flinchum, Jackson, KY, says the same
of it. Thousands of families keep 1t IN
the house against just such an emer-

member Of the family will need good

ADMIRAL'S SON REPRIMANDED
Admiral sperry, In Approving Find
ing I'm Evans Case, Says Penalty
In Inadequate,

WASHINGTON, Nov. N~.-Lieutenant
Frank T. Evans. u. s. N. who was re-
Gently reduced $50 numbers in rank for
conduct u~nbecoming an officer and preju-
dicial to the service. was today repri-
manded by Acting Secretary Newberry, In
accordance with the findings of the court
martial, in the following language:
The department. for reasons obvious IN
the service, regards this affair as pecu-
liarly deplorable and in publishing its
disapproval of the conduct of Lieutenant
Evans refrains from expressing fully is
condemnation of the actions of this off
Ger on the occasion in question. A casual
reading, however, of the charge and spec
ifications with the findings thereon will
be sufficient to enable the service TO form
its own estimate of an officer who mas
been found guilty of the acts elleged in
this case.
Admlral Sperry, commander-in-chief of
the Atlantic fleet of battleships, in ap-
proving the finding, said that lie did
so in order that Lieutenant Evans shall
not entirely escape punishment, but made
known the belief that the young officer
had not been adequately punished.
The courtmartial found Lieutenant
Evans guilty of leaving his station be-
fore being adequately relieved, of disre-
spectful language TO his superior officer
and Of inviting two enlisted men to have
a bottle Of beer in his room.
