Mrs. John Il. Davis died at her
nome here on last Friday night
ai'er a short siege of pneumonia
ieVer Mrs Davis was about 80
years of age and was noble
ShrStlan lady. She leaves her
husband and three grown daughters
ana other close relatives to whom
we extend the sympathy of this
community.
The crops are about all gathered
around here. Coru is very good
while cotton made from 1900 to
.6OO pounds per acre. Uncle Tom
" addeIl picked 1900 off of his
little hill farm just west of here and
made plenty of corn to do him.
When in Pocahontas now we al
ways find the town alive with people
and the merchants busy handing out
goods, aud everyone quiet and
orderly. 1t seems as if the man
with the depraved appetite for
WhlSkey spends his dollar (the dollar
perhaps Lis wife and children have
worked for in the cotton felds) for
the necessaries of life instead of
spending it for the stuff that tangles
his feet and fires his brain.

The box supper at this place
Friday night was very well attended
considering the weather, and the
boxes sold very well, considering
the amount of booze some of the
boys had to buy for the occasion.
Now we think the next grand Jury
will learn some of the bows what
the penalty is for giving booze to
minors.

state and private companies thereupon

policy of which the construction of the

MONT ST. MICHEL

PARADOX MEANS DESTRUCTION
OF FAMOUS MEDIAEvAL
PILE
It Is Built in Three Tiers-Erosion and
''Colmatase" Inspire Touring Club
Of France TO Fight Against Encroach-
ment of Sordid Enterprise.

PARIS, Aug. s.--The intrusion of
the sea, as well as the Intrusion of the
land, are combining to destroy Mont
Saint Michel, or at least to obliterate
its picturesque qualities. The sea is
charged with wearing away the face
of the cliffs upon which rests the most
interesting group of buildings construct
ed in the Middle Ages. The charges
against the land, however, are more aes-
thetic than material, for the land is
rapidly filing in the vast expanse of
fats on the shoreside of the dixie,
which was built twenty-five years ago,
in order to facilitate the access of that
army Of tourists which has now reached
the figure Of 100000 annually.
While the retaining of the land
goes on, ingenuity is also at work mod
ernizing the buildings of the ancient
pile.
Mont Saint Michel is built in three
tiers, the first being the lower side Of
the single street of the village, the sec
ond the upper side of the same, while
on the third rest the abbey and its
dependencies, nearly all of massive
granite, and all in comparatively good
state of preservation Erosion as well
as "colmatage, or land retaining
seems to have gone on hand in hand
since Marshal Mcmahon constructed the
famous dixie, before which passage
across the sands was unsafe at certain
stages of the tide. But while the crops
raised on the made land have about
compensated for the cost of the dixie,
the gradual intrusion of the sea has
become source of real danger.
AS the visitor crosses the dixie and
comes within the walls through the
Porte du Roi he passes before what for
generation or more has been known
as the Hotel Poulard. A hundred feet
further on this street which winds as
it rises, is the abbey church, good
part of which was built in the Eleventh
century, and whose jewels, like those
of Dublin Castle, mysteriously disap
peared a few months ago.
The process of filing in the bay dates
from 1858, when Napoleon III conceded
more than 1000 hectares of it to two
gentlemen, NM. Mosselmann and Do
| non, who undertook to transform the
sand into pasture land. One hundred
and nineteen municipal councils of the
region protested in vain. But the eff
| forts of the concessionaires were unsuc

LIVE ON WEEDS OF TEXAS.
Persian Sheep Prove To Be Money
Makers in Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. S.
Two hundred head of Persian sheep
were brought into Texas year or so
ago by Colonel Goodnight. His expert
ment has met with such success that he
declares the Persian sheep will thrive
better in Texas than in their native
land and that it will be possible to
manufacture the fine cloaks from pure
blooded lamb skins. Colonel Goodnight
says that there are ia different kinds
of weeds in southwest Texas and that
the Persian sheep eat 100 of them.
The first Persian lambs brought into
this country were introduced by Secre-
tary Rusk under the first Cleveland adj
ministration. These were shipped to
California and have done well. The
fine-cloth industry there, though small
one, is very profitable.
Until these experiments, the fine
cloth industry has been confined to a
principality in Persia. Coats and capes
made from the skins of these lambs
pensive cloaks made of this material
have sold for $1,000 $4,000. The fur
of he Persian lamb is jet black and
eurled and kinked in the most artistic
manner. Ladies capes and muffs made
of this quality are very beautiful and
expensive.
Colonel Goodnight maintains that in
few years, with proper breeding, Tex
as will improve the Persian sheep and
produce as fine fur at a minimum cost.
These sheep formerly inhabited the
desert and can go for weeks with scant
food and little or no water. The sheep
have long flap of fat which hangs
down behind like a saddle skirt, some
ten inches long by three in thickness.
The sheep seem to feed on this as does
the camel on its hump, and epicures
consider it very delicate morsel. Col
onel Goodnight claims that any farmer
