THEY GROW.
Good Humor and cheerfulness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness Is like sunlight. 1t dis
pels the clouds from the mind as sum

The good humored man can pick

with a crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulnass and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous

ADVICE SARCASTIC.
How You Can Avoid Being q Book
Farmer.

Every now and then we find farm
or who has q horror Of book farmers
and would not for any consideration
be considered by his neighbors as
such. We wish to help this fellow and,
therefore, make a few suggestions. :
First, we advise him not to. keep
any books for his farm operations.
Simply so along from year to year,
taking what you get without know
ing what 1t costs you, avoiding all &C.
curate knowledge Of what 1t has cost
you to produce ton Of hay, q BUSH
ell of wheat or oats, pound Of pork
or beef or butter. Such Information
as this is dangerous to the man who
is fearful Of being q book farmer.
Don't take any agricultural papers
They, too, are dangerous, for they
might set you to thinking. They might
contaminate your mind with the re-
suits OF experiment stations or the ex-
perience OF farmers. II you read any
agricultural paper at all, read one
that somebody has sent you for moth
ing In order to get your trade or your
patronage or for some other reason,
honorable or dishonorable. This viii
not do you much harm. but better not
take any at all.
BY all means keep away from all az
ricultural institutes. Avoid particu-
larry any lectures that have the least
tines of science. It 10 true that sci

WELL PLANNED FARM.
One Farmers Idea Of Dividing One
Hundred and Sixty Acres.

Seeing in the Farmer recently plans
for we'll arranged farms and deeming
this q matter Of sufficient importance
for the consideration OF our fellow
farmers. and our mutual assistance
along this line. I submit the follow
ing diagram Of a farm OF 160 acres
in II divisions. two or ten, one OF 20
and three OF 40 acres each, writes q
correspondent of the Indiana Farmer.
The farm has a road on two sides
and fronts the east. The ten acres
on which the buildings are located
consist of six divisions.
No. 1 dwelling and door yard, 2
orchard, 3 family garden, front barn
lot, truck garden, 6 barn lot. with
ample room for feed troughs and
straw stacks, allowing no stock loose
in front lot. Z open wood, pasture,
used for night pasture during the
summer for the work horses, also
handy for the mich COW, 8 perman-
emit pastures, with some timber af-
fording shade in summer and q wind
break in winter. Nos. 8, 10 and II are
40 acre fields for cultivation, and
will admit of the three years rota-
ton plan. Some of the good features
Of this plan are these. The larger
fields avoid the great expense Of much
fence building, and this is quite an

Symmetrical Case Still Unsettled

, AS stated in last nights Gazette the
verdict in the Symmetrical divorce case
does not: grant Il divorce to either of the
contending parties. This morning At
torney HARDWOOD, representing Mrs.
Summertield, moved that his client be
granted u decree despite. the verdict;
and the other side moved that the YER
dict of the jury be disregarded entirely
and the whole question be submitted to
the court. Neither proposal was accep-
ted, and the famous controversy rests
now in practically the same position as
it was before the trial started.

the people in favor of the trusts.

Hickey AT The Bat.

Thomas B. Hickey, bank wrecker, is
out with a statement that he desires to-
aid the depositors, and therefore h,,pes
that the receiver may be removed. On
October 23 the State Bank aud Trust
company closed it's doors, and ever
since that day Hickey has been helping
to keep the depositors separated from
their money He promised, then threat
ened, and in the end the depositors have
been hoodwinked. There is only one
way that Hickey can help the persons
who lost their money in the State Bank
and Trust cOmpany-PAY BACK
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, as he promis-
ed. Only in that way can he save him
self from the penitentiary.
The suggestion that the affairs of the
bank be thrown into the federal courts
savors of hickey idea The subtle
thought that any receiver could loot
the loot" undoubtedly was conceived in
Rickey's brain, and none other. But it
will fail, and 4he bank wrecker will get
his deserts-if there is any law in New
ada.-Goldfeld Chronicle.

a riot in that town Tuesday morning.
Sweeney was making speech on the
street when Delegate Gruenthal of

for member of the supreme bench to
be indulging in curbstone politics.
Sweeney heard the remark and stopped
his speech. He rushed to where Gruen-

and challenged, the right of any person
to qestion his action. At this iuncture
several bystanders interfered and pre-
vented further trouble. While the IN

to make u speech on the streets of Tono-

Plan. but Aren't Mentioning Names.

obtained the services of delegate from a state
other than Alabama that will be reached early
In rollcal'' to present the Presidents name to

that Mr. Roosevelts name unquestionably will be
put forward in the convention, but he declined to
give the name of the delegate who would present
il or the state he represents in part These facts
he SAYS will emain secrets until candidates are
placed in nomination.

pede of Taft delegates to the President IL they
get the latter's before the convention in a

Mr.. Phillips tonight that the boom which he is
engineering for President Roosevelt is growing.
The West Virginia delegation held it's caucus to-
night but there discussion of the sentiment
for President Roosevelt said to exist in the dele
CATION. Two members of the delegation who say
they will remain loyal to their instructions for Mr..
Taft declare that the Taft men in the minor
ity and that the detection would be great If a
stampede were started.
The hotbed of the Taft detection is at the Lex
ington Hotel, where the West Virginia delegation
is quartered. A meeting held there tonight
under the leadership of Mr.. Phillips, but IT was
attended by only. few delegates and large num-
ber who have no vote in the convention.
