not only in highly favored portions,
but in. the remote corners. 1t is true,
the good roads advocates in our
county have gotten very little SYM
,pathy from our official, yet they
are going ahead patriotically doing
the best they can in spite of Off
Gals.
A year or SO ago the neighbors
around Clark's. Hill surveyed and
graded q beautiful road around
Clark's Hill. the highest grade pos
sible, between Abbeville and Au-
gusta, because they needed the new
road, and couldn't get the county
officials to do work. They haven
just finished new road ,round the
ssJohn Butler hill'' at Hill Ryan's
doing the work themselves, without
hope of reward except the use of a
goods per cent grade around a
terrible hill. Hurrah for the enter
prising people of Clark's Hill!
I notice that the Dillon Herald
says in substance, that a Mr.C. II.
Stanton killed two-year-old pig,
few days ago that weighed sos
pounds, being possibly the largest
hog ever killed in Marion county.
Well Edgefeld usually has some
thing to beat everybody, so here it
is: Mr.. Pat Parks, cashier of the
Bank of Parksville, killed pig 2
years and one month old that netted
5s5 pounds, carefully weighed by
parties here in Parksville, who
would testify upon oath to the facts
were it necessary.
The Parkses are good 'ivers" MIR.
Editor, and without consulting Pat,
1 take the liberty of asking you to
our union meeting to help eat some
of Bro. Pats pig. Come.

helps his needy brother.
Money is either a blessing or a
curse, as we use it to the glory of
God, in the good of humanity, or
otherwise. And if it is not turned
loose and used for the good of hui
manity, there will be worse calami-
ties in the near future than any
which have been witnessed within
the last two yeals. The Lord hath
his way in the whirlwind and in the
storm. Matthew: 1-3. The man
who knows God has seen more
providence than philosophy or
science, in the great calamities of
recent date.
God has been doing all he could
do to turn men to repentance. But
they close their eyes against the
truth. and rush on to be rich as if
life was made of dollars and cents
and only for the accumulation of
riches.
If men who have money will put
it into circulation and thus relieve
pressure, and the pressing wants of
the poor. If they do this for
Christ's sake and the sake of
humanity they may confident
ly expect Gods blessing on them
and on their business.
A time like this is divine call to
the rich to show to the world their
better nature, and to come to the
help of the Lord in relieving the
poor. They surely could not in a
nobler way show their gratitude to
God for their prosperity,
With love for all and hatred for
none.

GREEN GOODS GAME !"
That Is What Coburn Calls Bull Wheat
Story About Kansas.

Kansas grain men from every sec
ton of the state are today branding as
a fake the dispatches sent out over the
country yesterday to the effect that
there would be a light wheat crop in
Kansas and Oklahoma. These gloomy
forecasts about the wheat crop served
its turn of boosting the price of wheat
on the board of trade.
Urged today to express an opinion of
these reports of a small wheat crop,
Secretary F. D. Coburn, Kansas
prophet on all things agricultural, said:
'Sure thing! No wonder the story
that Kansas and Oklahoma would raise
but 60,0O0,000 bushels of wheat sent
prices soaring. 1t is a green goods
game worked every year and is no
novelty. That the takers who invent
these reports never fail to make them
take shows two things, namely: the
extremely gullibility of the public
(proving Barnum's theory that new
suckers are born every minute) and
the sensitiveness of the commercial
world to crop conditions in Kansas.
Reports of showers in one section,
14-mile zephyr in another, or a spoon
full of Oklahoma greenbugs headed
north set the markets in such q f1utter
that smelling salts are necessary to re-
store the mental and financial equili-
brium.
cit is surprising that the crop killers
were willing to concede a yield of
sixty millions in the two states, when
smaller figure might have made prices
go higher. Besides, even forty or fifty
million bushels is considered a whole
lot of wheat-outside of Kansas

property. Mrs. Morehouse says that
she has spent and otherwise disposed OF
the cash, and will go into court before
she will pay taxes on the sum. She
listed her personal property at $3.50,
with an exception of 5000.
The controversy with Mrs. Morehouse
started some time ago, when Assessor
Haynes sent his deputy back to Mrs.
Morehouse with instructions to add
$4,000 to the assessment. Mrs. More
house refused, and stated that she had
spent the money. Mrs. Morehouse
closed the estate of her first husband in
1904. and has never listed the $4,000 in
her tax list. The commissioners seem
to think that the money is deposited
in a bank at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
If the commissioners prove their case,
they can collect taxes for 1908, or about
$3.50

Chance for some charitable
institution to make a thou
sand dollars if you can
grow hair on a bald head.

In recent issue of this paper DR..
Mott. whose fame is a matter of ma
t1onal recognition, stated that there
was no cure for badness. An opin-
ION which is evidently not shared by
all, otherwise the existence of numer-
Gus concerns that advertise to cure
badness, to put hair~on a billiard ball,
etc., would be imperilled. What DR.
Mott did state, as reference to the is
sue containing his statements will cor
roborate. was that he had never seen
IN all or the thousands of cases which
have passed under his notice, one in
stance where the disease of badness
had been cured. But he did state as
well that he cheerfully admitted that
there were remedies that would re-
store gray hair to the color of youth,
and that there were Hair Tonics
which would encourage the growth of
hair, cure dandruff and the ordinary
diseases Of the scalp, he referred par
1cularly to Q-Ban Hair Restorer and
Q-Ban Hair Tonic. DR.. Mott states
that he will give to any charitable in
stitution named $1,000 on receipt of
any authentic proof showing that hair
has ever been put on bald head
where the roots were dead. Since his
last statement the druggists have in
general laid in a supply of Q-Ban Hair
Restorer and Tonic. Any one who
wants to win the $1,000 that the doc
tor offers. may send a letter to Q. B.
Dept, Memphis, Tenn. He states. and
any druggist will indorse the state
ment, to the effect il six bottles of O.
Ban Hair Restorer fails in a single
instance to change gray hair to nat
ural color, that If the patient has used
six bottles and the result is not as
claimed, letter written to DR.. Mott
will bring back the money expended,
and that If a six-bottle lot of the tonic
don't increase the growth and strength
of the hair, cleanse and put the scalp
in good condition, money win also be
returned. You L2ow your druggist

ASKS FOR JUDGESHIP
Representative Merrill Wants Grand
father Appointed.

F. J. Merrill of Paola, representative
in the last legislature from Miami
county, was in the city today in the in
terest of the appointment of his grand
father, W. T. Johnston, to the place of
judge of the Tenth judicial district in
place of the late w. H. Sheldon. Mr..
Merrill and Mr.. Johnston are attorneys
and practice together under the firm
name of Johnston & Merrill. This is
probably the only law firm in the coun-
try composed of grandfather and
grandson.
Mr.. Merrill was a staunch admins
tration man in the last legislature and
his personal plea with Governor Stubs
will likely carry as much weight as
that of any other applicant for the
place or that candidates friend
w. T. Johnston is the oldest prac-
ticing attorney in Miami county, hav-
ing lived there for forty years.
Governor Stubs was overwhelmed
with applications today for the judge
ship left vacant by the recent death of
Judge Sheldon The Tenth judicial
district is composed of Miami and
Johnson counties and as court will con-
vene early next month in Johnson
county the appointment will have to be
made in the next few days.
Johnson county held the judgeship
for sixteen years previous to the cleo
ton of Judge Sheldon, who had served
six years at time of his death.
The following are applicants for the
place besides W. T. Johnston: S. J.
Shively of Paola; J. w. Parker and
Frank Ogg of Olathe. and Mr.. Muiser
of Paola.

THE NURSERY AGAIN.
THOUGHTFUL WORK FOLLOWED By BEST
RESULTS.
FIOuriShing, Growing and Spreading
Like a Green Bay Tree.

During a recent visit to the Green
nursery plant we were simply charmed
with every prospect that spread out
before us. Trees and vines, shrubs
and flowers have taken on new life
and shine out in splendor. There is
no missing hill, no irregular row.
Each plant seems to have been object
of tender, considerate care, and no
member of the family gives evidence
of neglect. Even the daisy has been
made to take on new beauty and the
common things of field and forest are
clothed in new glory
And hard by the nursery plant the
corn and the millet tell significantly
how a recent citizen of the great
State of Ohio has so soon caught on
to the Virginia lick in dealing with
such crops, and now Stokes and Rich
ardson, and Hubbard and Gillian and
others must look well to their laurals
or Mr.. Johnson will capture the pre-
miums at our Fair, and wear the belt
as champion corn and grass grower
of Southside Virginia.
We confess that as much as we
enjoyed the sight Of the flourishine
nursery plants on our visit, the thing
that most pleased us was found in the
corn and grass which had been
brought to such a degree of perfection
under the guiding hand of one who is
crowino his first crop on Virginia
soil. He may have successfully
grown corn in Ohio with more than
one stalk to the hill but he has learn
ed that this cannot be done in Vir-
Uinia. and realizing the new conditions
under which he IS working has adopt
ed the approved Virginia methods
with the result that he is scoring
success and not chagrined by failure.
Our hope is that others who come
