Dellwood, April 16:-Well, Nj
Editor, as your columns seem to b
lacking any news items from thi!
vicinity, l will try to encourage oth'
ers by writing a short letter.
Everything is very quiet around
here and everybody as busy as posi-
BILE. Farmers are making fine prog
ress in planting. Most of them are
through with corn, and several have
begun to plant cotton. 1 think MI
Calvin Brown deserves the credit fol
having the best field of corn in this
section, so far. Those refreshing
showers that we are having seem to
be greatly beneficial, especially to
tobacco planters. The acreage of
this crop, by the way,has been great.
ly increased in this locality over last
year.
The chaingang has pitched its
tent near Dellwood and begun work
on .be Indiantown rosd, commencing
at James swamp. We are pleased to
have the "gang" with us, as the
hope of bettering the condition Of
our roads is encouraged by this move
ment.
The home of Mr. and Mrs H P
Snowden was blessed with the coming
of little daughter on last Friday
afternoon.
Mr. G B Cox has lately attached
planning mill to his machinery. This
enterprise, We trust, will prove sue
cessful.
Miss Daisy Cox is spending few
weeks on visit to friends and rela-
tives at Cades.
Mr. J T Huggins of Healon paid a
visit to his daughter, Mrs j W Bax
ley, one day last week.
We are glad to note that our little
Sunday-school at Midway school
house, though organized but few
weeks ago, bids fair to attain an en-
coursglng growth.
Mr. Editor, AS there is SO little news
around here, I'll lay aside my pen,

His plan was to advertise literally

The proposal for the first time in Eng

the unearned increment looks to them
like the first invasion of the mighty
cohorts that march under the banner
of the late Henry George. Joined to
this is the increase of the tax on big
incomes. Representing the rich and
the idle, the house of lords is con-
fronted with a budget. which is the
first real land tax since the Norman
times. Never did the popular party
and popular ministry strike back a
heavier blow for the accumulated in

Why Priests Arc Hated.

To men who know how. sublime is
the Office of the priesthood, how noble
the aims and work of Catholic priests,
and how self sacrificing their lives
the hatred. manifested towards tho
clergy at different times and places
must be puzzling. says the Catholic
Times. 1t is very difficult to under
stand why the anticlericals of the
Continent betray such fierce, unrelent
ing hostility to ministers Of religion,
whose sole object is to benefit the
individual and the state. Yet this hos
tility la a fact. the existence Of which
cannot be denied. Since the first days
more violent or more aggressive than
it is at the present time. How is It
to be accounted for? The Holy Faith
er touched on the subject in an ad-
dress which he delivered at the Vati-
can on April 26. when the DEGREES Of

the Venerable Benigne Jolly were read
before him in the Consistory Hall. It
is, he said. the devil who has stirred
up and conducts the implacable war
fare against the Catholic clergy. The
Jewish, pastors, Protestant ministers,
, the leaders of the Christian and pagan
sects are never assailed with the same
venom. The. Catholic priests are sin
gled out for attack. Why? THE enc
mics of God" said His Holiness. ARE
aware that the Catholic priest. alone
is the depositary of the justice and
mercy Of the Divine Redeemer; that he
alone is the minister OF truth and
goodness. the Light of the world and
the salt OF the EARTH" In other words
the opponents of the religion Of Christ
are convinced that the most effective
method of combating it is to make wal
Lon the Catholic priesthood.

Like many other men of genius, the

Bramham churchyard.

Becoming Heathens.

Mrs. Bellany Storer, convert to
Catholicity, and the lady numerically
attacked by Theodore Roosevelt, says:
Protestants may be divided, broadly
speaking. into three classes. no mat
ter what sect may claim them as men,
bers.
! First. The Protestants who know
/ and care absolutely nothing for any
particular form of Christianity and
whose lives are spent in the pleasures
of the world.
Second. The Protestants who dis
cuss and argue great deal; and cling
to their own individual opinions no
matter what church they may occa-
sionally attend, or to what sect they
nominally belong.
! Third. The Protestants who love
the Lord and worship Him with all
their hearts and who deplore the de-
fection and irreligion which is scat
tering their ranks.
Let us look for a. moment at the
class of Protestants which mention

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-For the third
consecutive day wheat for December
delivery established a new high mark
for the crop when it sold here today
at $1.17% per bushel. Other deliveries.
however, failed to show the streng
OF the current month and during early
trading ranged considerably below the
final figures of the previous session.
Light receipts in the Northwest were
chiefly responsible for the firmness OF
the December option. The market
opened barely steady despite a sensa-
tionaI advance of 11b to Tx at Buenos
Ayres, initial quotations being a shade
higher to A@3s lower, with December
at 116% and May at 11212 to l1S. After
selling off to 1852, the price of the
December delivery was quickly bid up
to 11TA by shorts. May, however. sold
off to 112.
Continued cold weather in the corn
bel caused renewed liquidation in the
corn pit, which resulted in further de-
clines. Support was extremely meagre.
Prices at the start were unchanged to
ss@h. lower, with May at 65B to 65ss.
Later the May option sold off to SEA.
Oats were dull and weak. The heavl-
ness of corn was a leading factor. The
May delivery opened * to u lower, at
441s to 449s, and sold off to 44$Qh.
Provisions were weak early in the
day owing to liberal sales by commits
sion houses and packers. The selling
was inspired to some extent by larger
receipts of live hogs here than had been
estimated. Prices at the opening were
"a to 10 lower.
