TRIBUTE TO ONE OF
NATURES N0BLEMEN

Major Chas. J. Green, youngest son
of the late Duff and Eliza Anne Green,
of Falmouth, Stafford county, Va, was
called from our midst Tuesday, Sept.
9TH, 1909, at the residence of Mrs.
Latham. in Culpeper. after a severe
and protracted illness. He had come to
Virginia in July for rest and recupera-
ton, attended by his sister, Mrs. Law
renee Ashton, and later on by his
daughter, Mrs. +. !. Glenn. All that
medical skill could accomplish was
without avail, having friends and ply
sicians at home and abroad doing their
all for him, but God claimed him for his
own and he died as braVely and nObly
AS he had lived.
Major Green entered the Confederate
army at the age Of nineteen, having
just graduated at the V. NJ. l. He was
a gallant Confederate soldier and con-
Quoted himself in all of the engage
ments in which he participated with
great honor. He was wounded six times
whilst doing his duty on Virginia's bat
tie fields where he served under Lee
and Jackson, being promoted to major
of the 47th Virginia Regiment, winning
his sword, which was always priced by
him as one Of his priceless treasures.
When leaving Culpeper his old army
comrades, meeting there at the time,
begged the privilege Of bearing his
body to the train, which was met in
Dallas by a host of loving friends. The
next day from his residence he was
tenderly laid by his wife and son, VIM.

Oldest and most respected citizens, and
his loss is deeply mOurned. He was a
man generally beloved in his adopted
State for his true worth, and win be
missed from business and social circles.
From Virginia to the borders Of Texas,
he was the pOssessor of hosts of friends,
and through them acts of his gallantry
in the Civil war have been spread
throughout the Southern States.

ABOUT THE SEWING MACHINE
Regulation Of the Tension Is the
All-lmportant Thing in Its
WelfS-s.

The hardest thing to regulate about
your sewing machine is it's tension. Il
mus not be too tight nor toe loose
and should be screwed up or down, as
the case may be, with care. Use a
fold of the material you are working
on, instead of hem or seam, to ex-
pertinent with. Thread the machine
with silk or thread appropriate to the
gown you are making
Shorten or lengthen your stitch az
desired; if it draws, the tension
should be made looser. Sometimes it
is the upper and sometimes the lower
thread that pulls. Find out which be-
fore attempting to adjust the tension.
A loosely sewed seam is more ser
yiceable than one too tightly sewn, as
the latter viii snap and tear at the
slightest provocation.
In sewing silk goods all seams re-
quire the loosest possible tension.
This is also true in sewing chiffons
and thin goods Seams on Which there

Nerve Timing.

A strange instance of the care and
minuteness with which the human
body is now studied. in the effort to
understand its powers and functions
better. is furnished by a paper read
recently at meeting of the Royal so
ciety in London on the ''Rapidity Of
the Nervous Impulse in Tall and
Short Individuals" Even the differ
ence in time required for a nerve
telegram" to traverse the bodies Of
different persons is regarded as a
matter Of scientific Importance
series of observations has shown
that the length Of the nerve does not
affect the velocity with which an fpl-
nulsc passes between the brain and
the extremities. and consequently that
more time is needed If the path is
long than If it is short. It follows
hat a short man should feel a step
on his eorns quicker than a tail man;
but the difference is so slight that the
iffender has no better chance Of es-
cape in one case than in the other
