LONG SERVICE.

Mr.. Charles ST. John, of Canton,
is now enjoying bis third vacation.
Forty years ago he entered the
service of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company ait the Canton office
and has never BEEN late for work
from the time he comm nced i'm 1862.
He refused to leave Canton during
the yellow fever epidemic i'm 1878.
Although the company ordered the
office closed, Mr. john kept Dit open,
after working all night as we'll ais all
day sending messages out from that
plague stricken town when 1000 int
habitamts had the fever. After it
was over the company compelled him
to lay off and recuperate. In 1908
another rest period was insisted up
ON, and now he lis enjoying a third
rest. He attributes his good health
to regular habits and has never used
either tobacco or Intoxicating liquors.
He was born ait Port Gibson, Miss,
and commenced telegraph work at
years of age and before reaching
manhood served as operator for Gem
eral Joseph E. Johnsom During the
civil war; Although 60 years of age
he has never BEEN outside of the
state except once, and that was when
am infant (and he could not help it)
being taken to New Orleans ON a Wis

The fact that his wife, who was
Miss Minerva Bennett, daughter OF

GOOD FOREST WORK ON VAN.
DERBILT ESTATE.

In point OF variety and scope the
forest work odne ON the Bdatmore
estate, in North Carolina, is nemar-
kable. The forests, which cover $780,
900 acres, are made profitable by the
production of various forms OF ma
terdal.
Four million feet OF lumber, 5000
cords of fannie acid wood and fuel, a
thousand cords of tam bark, and sew
eraA hundred cords OF pulp wood are
cut every year. AT the same time
the forest through wise management
is bettered and is steadily increasing
iD value. Workmem employed along
the boundaries of the forest do duty
as fire guards. Thus fire protection
ia secured at least throughout ali
the accessible parts OF the tract.
In connection with all numbering
operations permanent logging roads
are built These minimize the pres
emit cost OF transportation, and wdl
greatly reduce the cost OF marketing
future crops. Thus the extension OF
the roads is steadily adding to the
investment value OF the forest More
over, they serve also as a network
of fire Lines. Forest planting is prac-
ticed where fire will not threaten its
success.
