and at once assist the kidneys to
perform their important work. But
when you ask for these pills be pos

DEATHS,

Pinckney, Aug. 3, lD09.-Again
has the Reaper invaded our neigh
borhood and taken away its vic
Tins.
On July IS, death came into the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Berlin Gut
shall and claimed one of their little
twin boys. Kenneth was born Apr.
10, and was sick only n few hours
until the little jewel was called
away. AS we stood by his little
mound at the grave yard at &. A.
McGlaughlin's, and saw an open
grave near, we were made to know
that there was another sad home
near. Another little cousin lay
ready to be laid away. Esther
Elizabeth mclaughlin, youngest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Nc
Glaughlin, born Sept. s, 1904, died
July 10, 1909.
Almost from infancy she was at
Aicted with Bright's disease. At
times it seemed that she would out
grow the disease and the hearts
of the fond parents and friends
were buoyed up by the hope that
she would be spared. But few
months since it was seen that the
frail little bud must perish. All
that faithful physicians and kind
friends could do was futile. She
patiently bore her suffering; fire.
quently speaking of heaven and the
little brother, gone before, with
more than childish thought. She
calmly gave directions about her
burial, and never expressed any re-
gard that she had to die. Dear
parent, weep not for little Esther,
she is free from pain, and is only
one more tie to lead to Heaven.
"And a little child shall lead them. :"
We extend to these parents and
friends our heartfelt sympathy.
Services were conducted by Rev. c.
L. Potter, of the M. E. Church
South, at the home of E. A. Nc
Glaughlin.
On Aug. 2, death entered the
home of C. P. Houlihan and took
from him his wife, Mollie Virginia.
She was the youngest child of John
C. and Almira Pruitt. Born Dec.
26, 1884 and was married to c. 2.
Houlihan March l, 1905.
Deceased had been confined to
her bed for more than three months,
and fought the grim monster brave
ly, but being of frail and delicate
constitution all her life she had to
yield. She told her friends she was
ready to go; that all was well, and
she would soon be with her little
babe she buried February last. She
was patient and never murmured
or complained.
Mrs. Houlihan leaves, to mourn
her loss, her husband, one child,
an aged father and mother, one
brother, j. H. Pruitt, Of Pinckney,
three sisters, Mrs. H. A. Jordon, of
Frost, w. Va, Mrs. Morgan Arm
strong and Mrs. Jno. NJ. Corbett, of
Pinckney, and many friends, as ev-
idenced by the large crowd at her
funeral, conducted by Rev. Dotson,
from Victory church. Interment
took place at Hiner grave yard.

COFFEE WILL BE HIGHER.

Owing to the maximum and min
imum provision of the new tariff
law, the free breakfast table" will
become thing of the past, al
least so far as coffee is concerned.
After March 31st, when the max
imum and minimum provision goes
into effect, duty of rs per cent.
ad valorem will be collected upon
coffee from Brazil, which furnishes
over four-ffths of the coffee con-
sumed in the United States. Bra
I'll, it is declared, is not in a posi-
ton to meet the demands for revo-
cation of their bounty system.
In discussing the matter, Repre-
sentative Clayton, of Alabama,
predicted an increase in the import
price of coffee from s to 10 cents
after next March.

BIG CROPS IN kansas.

If what James w. Harvey, of
Kansas. says about his State be
true, then it is a settled fact that
Kansas is on the high road to pros
perity. In commenting on the
wealth of Kansas and its crops, Mr..
Harvey said the big crops this sea-
son promise to land Kansas at the
head of the column of States in the
matter of per capital wealth. 1t is
second now, Massachusetts leading,
but the margin between them is so
slight that the wheat and corn crop
is sure to put Kansas at the top.
THE wheat crop has just been
harvested, and thrashing has start
ed, " said Mr. Harvey. From now
until snow flies the thrashers will
be seen on every hand. A party of
men standing on a hill near Great
Bend, Kansas, one day two weeks
ago saw twenty-nine thrashing ma
chimes at work. Many of the big
wheat farmers own their own thrash
ers, as they do their binders and
other farm implements.
1T will take three thrashing ma
chin,s thirty days to thrash out the
crop raised by one farmer alone.
This farmer has 10000 acres of
wheat in Western Kansas. 1t is the
best crop he has had for years. The
wheat will run from fifteen to twen-
ty bushels to the acre on the aver
age. This is a tremendous yield
for the country. Early in the
spring the dry weather and high
winds threatened to take the crop,
but the rains came just at the right
time to save it.
Kansas threatens TO break all
records in corn production this
year, level-headed crop experts say
they wouldn't be surprised to see lit
90 above 300, 100000 bushels. The
largest corn crop ever harvested in
Kansas up to this time was in 1889,
when it aggregated 273,SSS 900
bushels.

A TEMPERANCE VICTORY.

The Journal comedies the nomi
nation of Judge William Hodge,
Mann over Harry st. George Tuck
er for the office of Governor by {
majority of three to five thousand
out of a total vote of probably six
ty-fve thousand.
Judge Mann's nomination, in oul
candid opinion, is attributable to
the votes of the temperance people
who seem to be much stronger
throughout the State than great
many city folks have imagined. 1t
is conceded the big brewery andliq-
uor interests contributed to Judge
Mann's election, certainly in the
two largest cities in the State, but
this is mere handful of votes as
compared with the thousands Of
dry votes Judge Mann got in every
city and county. The election of
Judge Mann more than cancels the
recent "Wet" victories gained in
Petersburg, Bristol, Abingdon and
Shenandoah, The moral effect is
to restore the courage and conf
dence of those who have fought
and are fighting whiskey.
In our opinion, the result will
greatly accelerate the movement
'or Statewide prohibition, which
will continue to be an increasingly
issue, the conclusion of
which it may reasonably be expect
I'd will transpire within the term of
he next Governor Richmond

THE BOLD KNIGHTS AND THE QUEEN
OF LOVE AND BEAUTY"

Tournament time III Virginia! ~
time of brave and gallant knights
and ladies fair, of eyes and faces
bright and golden hair; and all the
beaux and bellies are there. Down
from the days of chivalry this GUS
tom has come, and we can trace it
back to the Middle Ages, where by
his courage and strong arm the gal
liant knight won his lady fair, crown
ed her and took her off as his bride.
Down the ages the knights come
riding, from Richard the Lion Heart
ed AMI "Iyanhoe" clear down to
Mount Airy and Ny Ladies' Manor.
1t is very pretty custom, and is
observed in Virginia perhaps more
than in any other part of America,
where in some sections it never eX-
listed and in most of the others has
been long forgotten.
But in Virginia the girls are so
fascinating and the young men so
handsome that romance survives
longer than it does in more staid
and puritanical communities. All
around us are princesses to the
manner born, queens waiting for
their coronation and an army of
stalwart young men competing for
the favor of smile. Listen to
the sonorous names under which
the youngsters ride. They roll like
the sounding titles of the mobiles
who fought for their king and coun-
try and went to the relief of beauty
500 years ago. "The knight of
the Crimson Heart" may ride
against 'The Knight Of the Even
ing STAR" and both are likely to be
outridden by "The Knight Of
Pleasant Valley" or "The Knight
of Rocky Glen
These are no easy victories, as
some might suppose, for it takes
frst-class rider to win in tourna-
ment in Virginia, where there are
horsemen who can ride with grace,
dash and surety that were never
taught in any "riding school" The
good rider must possess the quail
ties of confidence, decision, strength
and skill that belong to high type
of manhood. 1t is not a contest
for weaklings. And girl may
we'll be proud of being chosen as the
favorite of a successful knight.
Youth bubbles over with the
very JOY of living; it sees life in the
glowing light of its sunrise and a
thousand rays of rose and gold
make the future radient. 1t is the
time when every girl has a right to
expect her Prince Charming to come
riding out on his milk-white steed
to WOO and win her and take her to
the Land of Hearts Desire, and
the young man finds that the one
thing that lights up the world for
him is "the light that lies in wom-
ans eyes"
None but the brave deserve the
fair" and the tournament is the
contest of brave youth for the |
smiles and favor of the fair. You
old cynics, whose faces are wrinkl-
ed and who haye lost the charm of
your Illusions, may smile at these
jousts of the modern tournament.
But what would you give if you
could feel the thrill of romance and
excitement that the young Knight
of the Golden Heart" feels as he
crowns that facinating young wom-
am "Queen of Love and Beauty?"
In another week our High
and Knights will be arrayed at
to give vent to good feel
ing and friendly rivalry contesting
n modern tournament. Let this
occasion be one grand success.
