Body Sent iiUme.

The body of Jesse Congleton,

the mule he was riding last Tues

A BAD COMBINATION.
Married Life Without a Home Is
Like An Egg Without Salt.

Don't marry until you can
have home" That's my advice
to the girl who is planning to get
married and board awhile"
Don't stay in lodgings any
longer than it takes you to hunt
up a suitable house or apartment. -"
That's my advice to the girl who
has gotten married and is still
boarding awhile"
Married life without home is
like an egg without salt-only in
finite!y worse.
Next to the bearing and rearing
of child, the building up of a
home is the strongest bond of COM
mon interest that man and wom-
an can have.
Lodgings, | think, are the devils
own invention for stealing away
the happiness that he might other
wise be obliged to see young mar
ried people enjoy.
A young man of my acquaint-
ance told me the other day that a
girl who had been married but a
few months asked him to come
and see her where she was board
ing, and offered as inducement the
fact that her husband was seldom
at home.
A wave of disgust swept over
me. And then it passed and [
was Just sorry.
For | knew the girl with little
brains and much energy, who
needed, if eyer woman did. some
natural interests to occupy her
time.
She has strong housewifely
tastes. In a home she might
make herself and her husband very
happy. In furnished rooms
she will probably ruin both her
life and his.
A good many of the young
couples who drift into the divorce
courts pleading ''incompatability
of temper" would never have had
time to fisd out they had any such
Undertaking disturbance if they
had been busy home building in
stead of dragging along an I'M
natural existence in a boarding
house.
Perhaps the initial expense of
a home seems a good deal to some
people.
But there is suchIa thing as be-
ginning simple, you know-such a
thing as starting in with the bare
necessities.
And after all, isn't the question,
not so much can you afford a
home, as can you afford-fnanci-
ally and Otherwise-to do without

LET TIER

west Virginia.

A'At A<NtiONi AhN ONUNN' 80
havn't seen anything in the Advo-
cate from Scranton for some time,
| will write, as my father and |
are readers of the Advocate. i
have just returned from a visit to
West Virginia with my father,
John Z. Borders. He hadn't seen
his sister, Mrs. Craton Miller, for
eight years. We left home in our
buggy, stayed first night at Elan
ton with j. NJ. Elan, the we'll
known merchant; second day we
stayed in Lawrence county with an
uncle, Wallace Borders; then we
took in a big foot washing meeting
and saw many relatives whom we
had not seen for years, which, of
course, we enjoyed very much.
We left Ulyssus, KY, for Fl. Gay,
w. Va, and stayed over night
with our cousin, Rev. Namam Bor-
ders, SO when | got to my aunt's at
ArmHda | was worn out. Then
my father took the n. & w. for
Kenova, then on street car to Ash
land, where he spent a while with
his cousin, DR.. VIM. Deboard;
then by the steamboat Greyhound
he went to Portsmouth, Ohio, to
see his uncles, II. Pack and family
and Il. H. Moore. While he en-
joyed his trip | was in Wayne
county with my aunt and made the
acquaintance of several ladies', of
whom were Misses Flora and Ma
omi Mills. We spent one day in
Sunday School while in w. Va.
| saw the hills of Morgan, John
son, Lawrence and Wayne counties,
also the coal mines of W. Va, also
the Big Sandy river and the bridge
which spans it at Louisa, Ky.
Since | have come home my
father and l are keeping house
while my sisters, Misses Mile F.,
Nora E., Sofa Ray, Lula E., and
MIR. Roy Envy Borders are visit

ETY. OF Equity $4,000 for its help
in pooling the 1909 crop, to be di-
vided equally between the National
and State unions, $1,000 of this
sum to be paid October /, if the
pool is "A success, and s., 900 when
the 1909 crop is sold, the whole
amount to be chargeable to the
1909 crop.
RESULT Is A COMPROMISE.
The result is compromise of
the difference between the two
organizations. While the Amer
lean Society of Equity, led by Con-
gresham Cantrill, has secured i'm
portant concessions and may be
regarded as having won a victory,
the Burley Tobacco Society retains
control of the pool and the essen
tial features of the pooling contract
as originally promulgated will re-
main in force.
The victory of the Equity Soci-
ETY. is in the recognition accorded
to it and the liberal compensation
for it's assistance in pooling the
crop. AS there are unions in
nearly every Burley county the
society will secure in addition to
the $4,000 a very considerable
compensation at the 81 per hogs
head rate.
The Burley Tobacco Society has
secured the removal of opposition
to it's pooling pledge, retaining
control of the pool, maintaining it's
organization intact, and retaining
also the important essential parts
of the original plan.
WILL COMMINGLE TOBACCO.
The tobacco it pools under this
agreement will be commingled as
originally provided for and the
Burley Tabacco Company will be
organized with capital equal to
ten per cent of the gross proceeds
of the 1909 put into the pool.
The Burley Society retains gen.
eral control and satisfies the de-
mand for local county control by
the provision for the prompt dis
tribution of the money to the
grower.
The executive board of the Bur
ley Tobacco Society went into con-
ference with Q. O. Drayton, Ma
tional President of the American
Society of Equity, and Hon. j.
Campbell Cantrill, State President
of the American Society. As soon
as the conference adjourned It was
learned that the Burnley Tobacco
Society had agreed to make the
following proposition to the Amer
lean Society of Equity:
First-To pay $4,000 to the
American Society of Equity, to be
divided equally between the Ma
tional Union and the State Union,
and that s., 900 of this sum is to
be paid ID October, if the pool is
success, and $1,000 an the sale of
the 1909 crop, all of which sum is
to be charged to the 1909 crop.
Second-In all counties where
there are local unions of the
American Society of Equity to
pay to such union one dollar for
every hogshead of tobacco pooled
in that county.

Distilled by A. Louise Babbage
From The American Press, New York. July 18th

At the Kentucky Press Associa-
tion's fortieth annual meeting at Es-
till Springs, near Beach Hargis home
in the mountains of Kentucky, the
only spirits handed out were good
ones.
Each and every editor slipped with
the others the delightful features on
the program prepared by the foreign
committee on entertainment-C. E
Wood, f. d. Miller and Louis Lam
dram.
Their efforts hit like missiles out of
a shotgun, and not one guest was
present who did not feel the strong
glow of glorious time.
An editor who has worn a smile and
flower every day for twenty years
is Dan Bowman, editor of the Wood
ford Sun, Versailles. Mr.. Bowman
says that is one way he has been able
to keep his subscribers-by his flowers
and smiles,
One of the most popular men at the
meeting was "Rich's Brother" The
card he handed around is herewith

fore in the X. p. A. as 'Rich's Broth
err and his presence here making it
necessary l herewith introduce my
self as Hiram A. Richardson, Taylor

One of the most interesting young
women at the meeting was Miss Laura
Rollins. She came down from the
mountains accompanied by James
Metcalfe, whose father is editor of
the Pineville Sun. Miss Rollins has
a head chuck full of business sense,
and what she had stuffed up her sleeve
for increasing circulation was mar
velous.
Green Keller, editor of the Carlisle
Mercury, helped rock the cradle of
the Kentucky Press Association when
it first saw the light forty years ago.
