Wheat Growing in Monroe.

EDITOR ABERDEEN WEEKLY
Dear Sir-I read with interest the
suggestion by j NJ. Dean, concern
ing wheat, in your issue of June Is;
also that of j. A. Dabbs seconding
the suggestion, in the issue of June
25, and now / would like to add few
suggestions:
Since in every movement for the
tetterment of mankind some one
must take the initiative, and since
before any movement can bear fruit
some one must do some work, l sug-
gest that a mass meeting of those
concerned be called to discuss the
adYisability of planting wheat in Mon
roe county, and to formulate some
plan by which we may determine the
number of men in the county that
will plant wheat.
l further suggest that DIR. Knapp, il
he can be secured, and if not, some
else, versed on the subject of wheat
and itsu culture in the South, be in
vited to deliver an address.
There need he no concern about
threshing and milling if the people
take hold in earnest. The machinery
will come to the wheat if produced
in sufficient quantity.
Respectfully,
II PEnNTAN

To Abolish the FLY.

1t happens every day, and so one
pays very little attention Maybe
it Is the butter, or perhaps the
slice of bread alongside ones plate.
Or else, quite possibly. ii is the
milk in the pitcher But, whatever
it is that attracts the omnipresent
fly, its appearance, as it crawls
over the food on the table, is an
appetizing.
The health authorities of New
York City estimate that about one
half of the deaths from typhoid in
the metropolis annually are attribu-
table to the distribution of the
germs by files. But, serious as this
matter is, it is of vastly less i'm
portance than the destruction of
human life. particularly that of
young children. by the bowel COM
plants which these insects are
chiefly instrumental in spreading.
1t Is reckoned that deaths from
these latter maladies in New York
would be reduced from z 900 to
about 2 900 a year if proper pre-
cautions We're taken to prevent the
breeding of flies.
The insects will breed i'm ferment-

The largest and most enthusiast
tic convention of the Mississippi
Travellers Association in its history
was held at Jackson last week. at
which many able and entertaining
speeches were made by members
and guests. Hon. ID. w. Houston

who was called upon to speak. and
the Jackson News reports his re-
marks in the following language:
The second speaker was Judge
ID. w. Houston,z of Aberdeen. one
of the foremost members Of the
Mississippi bar, and for several
months a special justice Of the Miss

and universally beloved by the trav-

Guided in a serious vein, telling of
the splendid work that has been ac-

predicting for it a greater work in
the future. He mentioned the bulk
sales law enacted at the last legisla-

Mississippi Travellers were almost
wholly responsible for the defeat OF
the iniquitous two-cent rate law pro-
posed at the last legislative session.
The final address Of the evening
was delivered by the retiring spresi-

some timely words Of wisdom to his

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of Eaustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rnmbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine eases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness tcaused by
catarrl that cannot be cured by Hall 5
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Memphis Closes the Saloons

At midnightWednesday the Both,
the prohibition law of Tennessee,
which closes every saloon within
four miles of any church or school
house. went into effect, and over
seven hundred places IN which
liquors were sold in Memphis We're
closed. Many Of these We're whole
sale houses that have been in husl-
ness in the Bluff City fifty years or
more, whose owners will seek new
fields in Cincinnati, ST. Louis, Cairo
New Orleans and other points, and
the withdrawal of SO much capital
at once will be materially felt by
business interest, g but the shock Will
not be of a permanent character.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
was strenuously opposed to State
wide prohibition against the sale Of
liquor in Tennessee, claiming the
right of local option for each city
and community. but gracefully ac-
cepts the situation and in its issue
of the Both gives utterance to the
following patriotic sentiment, CON
Guiding lengthy editorial on the
subject:
No matter what brought about
the passage of the statewide law, no
matter how unfair. or how unjust,
or how confiscatory it may be, IT Is
the law of the State, the law of the
land, and it binds every man, not
only in his political relations to his
state, but also in his conscience.
The illegal or illicit selling of liquor
should not be permitted. and the
blind tiger keeper and the bootleg
ger should be taught that they and
their sort are not wanted in this
town. If we cannot have reputable
LIQUOR dealers in Memphis, then we
have no places in which the disrep-
utable ones should be permitted to
ply their trade. -

LOOKING AFTER NEW BRIDGE.

County Judge j, A. Lea left today
for Hartwick Mill, where he expects
to spend considerable of his time dur
ing the next week or two watching the
of the new steel bridge to
be erected across the Cadron at that
place. Before leaving, Judge Lea was
asked whether or not be would be a
candidate for reelection, and stated
that he had not yet definitely decided.
He said he would like very much to
continue in the office long enough to
carry out some policies in regard to
the building of steel bridges and gem
eral improvement of road work in
places he had not yet been able to
reach, but other considerations might
prevent his making the race.

not come from sources which even eX-

John II. Hinemon will make the race
for governor on the statewide prohibi-

made in the face of the positive re-
fusal of Mr.. Hincmon to consider the
proposition, after seeing the hand
writing on the wall in his last cam
paign. The people who usually con-

CENSUS GINNING
FIGURES ISSUED

According to figures issued by the
census bureau this morning, $40, 900
bales of cotton have been ginned in
the United States during the present
season, up to and including November
13. This compares with $500 900 last
year and 1900 900 to the same date IN
1907. The market was but slightly
affected by the report, the price ad-
vancing a few points.
In Faulkner county, 1884 bales
were ginned to November 13, as com
pared with 15,389 to the same date last
year, falling off of only 2,405 from
last year record d-breaking crop. This
is considerably more cotton than many
predicted at the beginning of the sea-
sor would be raised in the county this
year, and represents a ginning of l.
594 during the IL days since NoVem-

was issued, against 1,9S7 ginned dur

DR.. CODBEY breaches
SERMON AT PRESBY
TERRAIN CHURCH YESTER-
DAY MORNING.

DR.. j. E. Cooley, professor of phil
osophy in Hendrix College, filled the
pulpit at the Presbyterian church on
account of the illness of the pastor,
Rev A. NJ. Mae Lauchlin, yesterday
morning, and delivered a very strong
and forcible sermon. The text was,
When that which is perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be
done away" DR.. Godbey said in part !:
"Paul's view of the present life was
that it was the first stage of our being
from which it is to advance to per-
lection in another world. The life be-
iyond is not discovered from this. The
pilgrim of earth and time steps ashore
of another continent and goes on
memories of all he has left behind, and
IN his own moral nature leaving the
results Of all his earthly struggles By
various figures the apostle enforces
the idea of continuity of conscious
existence. As childhood is. merged IN
TO manhood, not lost or forgotten but
fulfilled; as that which is perfect full
fills all that is incomplete, so the child
hood of our being passes into man
hood, the dim visions into the open
glory
"No argument, he said, sis needed
for probation. Every one knows that
the present is rooted in the past. What
a man is today comes from what he
did yesterday and all the days before.
$50 we make character and destiny
We inherit the past in ourselves, our
hopes, affections and thoughts, and
soon stripped of all earthly circum-
stance we shall stand in the light of
another world with nothing but our
selves, as the whole result of the pres
ent."
The preacher made practical APP

that we must possess in germ and bud
