successes are greater than others.
The big hit of his long list of song
shows is his latest, The Honeymoon

which will be seen here at the Gen

mOoners" the great range OF Conan 8
genius for sparkling entertainment is
shown at its best. He has ShOWered
upon the production no less than 20
big musical numbers and then added
an exciting plot that is worked out
i'll every particular. THE Honey

Gle 1t is crowded with catchy mCsiC
and it has a cOrhing good story and
its lines are the brightest Conan has
written. The story is laid in the town
of Tigerville. Vermont, and the au-
thor. never economical with his mater
ial, has drawn long gallery of the
types that live and meet in a New
England small town. The plot inVOl-
YES politics, love, sport and mistaken
identity and it keeps the playgOer

OF eX-Judge James Hargis, who met
death at the hands OF his son last
Thursday took place in the little fam

The body lay in coffin of steel
and mahogany and the solid silver
handles glistcncd in the sun as it
rested for few minutes beside the
upturned Stay while the last words for
the dead were said.
Nearby are the graves of Hargis'
bullet wounds inflicted by implacable
enemies. The funeral proce ssion was
unique spectacle.
The body was taken across the
town bend of the river via IL bridge.
and there placed on pushcar and
rolled down the tracks Of The Eastern
railroad for half a mile. Then it was
transferred to the pushcar on the mar
Tow-guage road of lumber company

river on the Panhandle side" Thence
it was carried about three hundred
yards to the grave.
The attendants walked, forming a
procession in the track behind the car

oIrR GREAT COUNTRY.

Of the worlds total area in square
miles the United States has only 5
pei. cent or a very small share of the
total land of the world The same
small ratio holds good as to popula-
ton But here the comparison ends
for in all other respects the United
States pro rata share OF the wealth
of the world is such as to cause one
to marvel at the marvellous re-
sources" of our great country.
Here is the table as complied by
that gifted statistician, Richard H.
Edmonds, editor of the Manufactur-
ers' Record.
OF the corn crop of the world the
United States raises 1873 per cent.
OF the wheat crop she raises 2O.7
per cent.
Of the tobacco crop this country
produces 31.1 per cent.
Of the worlds entire production of
cotton this great country of ours
produces 71.3 per cent.
OF the pig iron the United States
produces 42.2 of the whole number
of tons.
OF the worlds supply of petroleum
this country furnishes more than half
or to be exact 62.5 of the whole num-
Der of barrels.
Likewise of copper the United
States producing 57.5 of the whole
number of pounds.
We are a trif1e shy on the gold
proposition, only producing 22.1 per
cent, but as long as we have such re-
sources to trade the balance of the
world we can take the pay in gold
and even up things.
Of the worlds silver supply we
furnish 35.5 of the whole amount
We produce 35.5 of the total sulphur
supply of the world and 37.3 of the
worlds consumption of coal
We produce more than half of the
phosphate rock in tons and have at
work already 81 per cent Of the
worlds entire number of cotton spin
dies, with the number vastly increas-
ing every year.
We have nearly forty per cent of
the worlds total railway mileage and
other industries in proportion.
When one considers the above sig
nificant figures and then reflects that
the richest section of this marvellous
country is just beginning to develop
her wealth. the South, it is cause for
congratulation.
Truly ours is a great country.

xvon1d not have been an incident TO
mark the closing of the present cam

the absence of opposition In the races
for in at least two contests there are
competing candidates All seem to
he content with the situation and If
there has been any hard elecuoneer-
ing or any running after office we
have not heard from it.
There is no opposition to the re-
election of Mayor DonnelI. His good
record in cutting down the city's de-
felt within the past term and HI:
promise of greater reductions IN the
