Diphtheria Is still in town and
there are good many cases. l

There has been about $1,000 worth
Of cotton sold here in the last three

the farmers to get such prices as
they are now getting. .u
Mr.. Johnson King, OF the Pond

the best crops around here. He Is
expecting one hundred bales off of
seventy-six acres.
The liquor question Is about stop

to work to catch every man who has
got tiger and made him blind by
sticking his eyes with needles. The
new mayor will soon take seat and
he says he thinks he knows of some
who are engaged in selling liquor.
My davice to the people to to stop
at once for there will be trouble
for those who are in this business.
Mr.. s. H. Norton, blind man, lis
now at work in the ice house. He
does his own cutting and weighing
of the ice and also draws it out of
pit with rope and pulley. Mr..
Norton went to the State Institute
for, the blind for eight years and
secured his learning and now he
can make his own living withol,

every parent and blind person would
consider this fact and take advan-

ABOUT THE NORTH POLE.
An English Astronomer Describes
It's SURROUNDINGS.

Sir Robert Ball, former astrono-
mer Of the Royal observatory, now
professor of astronomy atr.Cam-
bridge university, and one of the
most distinguished British scientists,
has written the following state
ment on what the discovery of the
north pole exactly means.
1.-TWO questions being asked. all
over the civilized world today are:
First, why does any one want
to go to the north pole? ',.ss.
Second, how does he know when
he's there?'
ITO answer the second question,
first, the mariner who finds his lati-
tudeh In the northern hemisphere to
be 80 degrees knows he can be no.
where else than at the north pole.
The astronomer will tell you that to
any one standing at the north pole,
the sun rises and sets only once a
year-six months daylight; six
months night; mitigated only by a
little twilight at the beginning and
end of period of awful gloom, brok-
en- by occasional moonlight or
aurora.
The pole is truly a unique spot
on the globe. Cook, standing there,
faced due south. Whichever way
he looked, he was more than 20
miles nearer the center of the earth
than if he stood at the equator. His
weight was greater than anywhere
else on the surface of the globe. A
plumb line in his hand pointed ver-
tically upward to the pole Of the
heavens around which all stars re-
volve. Half of the stars he could
never see; the other half never went
below his horizon and would have
been visible throughout the six
months of night. The famous con-
stellation Orion ever circled around
and around his horizon. The polar
star directly over his head.
"The gain to knowledge from DR..
Cooks discovery Is inestimable.
There is much to learn Of tides, cur
rents and the ocean"
