land in that valley cannot be bought AZ
all that was almost worthless before it
was dgained. Values have jumped from
two dollars or more 10 ono hundred aud
fifty and some are not to be had at any
price. This land does not lay in a
valley as rich as the soil Of the Obion
River bottoms. and one Of the greatest
enterprises and the most important to
the people Of the county is the pro-
posed drainage Of our valley lands along
Obion River. Men are busy now buy
ing all the land they can lay hold Of in
these bottoms, with knowledge OF the
fact OF what may be accomplished.
The 0bion Valley Land Co. Of this
place has already bought thousands Of
acres and citizens in the vicinity OF
0bion and Trimblc are buying up all
the land they can get. The proposition
OF drainage in Obion County, it is as
sumed, will not meet the opposition
that has confronted it elsewhere. be-
cause the people Of Obion County are
becoming acquainted with the history
OF these things
The development and drainage Of this
land means the redemption Of $4,000
acres Of the richest country in the world
and the advancement OF a multiplicity
Of interests and the wealth Of thecounty.
1t means more resources, more popula-
ton and greater country in every re-
spect. 1t means the education Of the
people in physical Improvements, good
roads and every other advancement in
the progress Of our country. 1t is the

Solution of Valley Drainage.

An article on another page showing
the success OF valley drainage in Illinois
is Of the greatest interest to the people
OF 0bion County, especially to those
owning land in the Obion River bottoms
Several Of our citizens who are leading
the movement for drainage in Obion
County and who have caused the surveys
and maps to be made went to Fayette
County, ILL.,, last week or few days ago
and inspected the system in Illinois with
the result that they return the warmest
drainage enthusiasts.
The immediate cause of the trip to
Illinois was to learn the system Of dis
posing Of the water held back by the
leyee banks along the river Experts
had suggested the digging Of canals on
each side 81 the river This would in
cur an enormous task and expense and
hence it was discouraging to the proiec-
tors OF the enterprise. They found the
solution of the trouble one Of the sim
plest things imaginable and felt cha
grined that they had not thought Of it
before, simple affair OF the system Of
valley drainage
The gentlemen were also more than
pleased with the outcome Of the visit.
AS win be seen in the article referred
70 the project ia Illinois was fought
desperately, bat it was carried through
with an iron determination and to-day

WORLD WILL END.
Chicago Machinist Promised Pro-
phet Elias.

Chicago, Jan. s.--Prophesying that
the world will come to an end between
April Z, 1911, and April 7, 1912, Fred
eriek William Kaspereit, a Chicago
maehinist, who styles himself the
promised prophet Elias, +" has sent warn
ings to every crowned head Of Europe,
as well as to the presidents 81 the great
est republics and the emperor Of Japan.
Elias, who is employed by the
Chicago Electric Company. to-day set
forth the claim that he had been born to
warn the world Of the end. His mother
had, be said, on her deathbed at their
old home in Prussia. been visited by two
angels, who told her of his mission.
Later, he says, he had visitations from
the angels.
He came to America following a vista
ton from an angel, who said;
Go into the new world, where so
closely they do not cling to the old
things
Five weeks ago Kaspereit says he re-
ceived direct command from his angel
friend.

The Good Road to the Lake.

Good roads sentiment seems to be
everywhere at this time, and while
times are good for this movement we
should moke the best Of it.
Since we all favor good roads, and
especially this one to the lake, we
should do all in our power to put it
through, and to begin on it in the
early spring. The committee, and all
others who will, are to meet the first
Monday in February to more perfectly
outline the plans and submit such re-
port as they may have at that time.
II is safe to say that from the pres
ent feeling in the matter the road will
be built this year, OF at least graded,
Strengthened and widened in the early
spring, and the ground prepared for the
gravel and the hardening of the road.
Who can estimate its worth? viii we
continue for another twenty years in
the old way? Not il the progressive
men will resolve now, right in the be-
ginning, not TO allow the kicker to
block the proposition. III we wait for
bonds we will never have it. If we
wait for everybody to be for il and pay
their part we will never have it; but
with 90 per cent OF the people for it,
with their influence, money and teams
and that literally, tool believe the
road can and will be built at an early
date. We favor better roads every
where, and when this road is completed
are ready to take up others.
Let the people all over the county
get worked up over the good roads idea
and build everywhere. Move back the
fences and build road that is always
good What is a few feet of dirt (even
though it is worth hundred dollars an
acre) compared to good roads. 1t will
increase the value of the lands near
this road from IS to 100 per cent. Who
will deny this?
The committee is expected to get to
work in earnest the coming week, and
il man is found who will not help,
try some one else who WILL The
men who own the gravel beds ought to
donate that as a part of their obliga-
ton, and believe there is easily anough |
good gravel along the route to build
first-class road to the lake and then |
have hills full left What is it good for
where it is? Put it out into good use.
r. L. Lockert offers 800 in cash, a
lot OF time in soliciting, and one team
for a hundred days. Just think, over
$500 it would amount to, and he is not
near the proposed road.
1t has been suggested that the route
offering the best inducements will gel
the first road, and committee appoint
ed of impartial men to pass on what
route will then be selected, Union City
people will give to either road alike,
except for personal interests in some
cases, where party has lands near one
or the other proposed roads.
How much will you give to first have
the road properly graded And then
how much per mile to have il made
into frst-class gravel road9 A hum

Penthouse Prophets.

This is free America. II is a demo-
cratic country and every man has a right
to take a drink and cut up jack II he
wants to provided he incurs no damages.
According to law he has right to make
fool Of himself generally. These sort
of geniuses, however. are as harmless
and inoffensive as dove compared to
the lunatic who comes out with a decla-
ration that he is a prophet authorized to
foreteIl the end oftime. This old world
is, according to Scriptures, 5000 years
Of age, and scientists even talk Of hum
dreds Of thousands Of years existence
upon the earth. Once an old scholar
said to us on hot day that the sum
mers would gradually change and the
winters become colder, that the earth
was assuming more eliptical shape and
in one hundred thousand years We
would have another glacial period in
which the surface OF the earth would be
covered with ice as far north as Tennes-
see probably. He spoke 81 the glacial
period Of an hundred thousand years
ago, signs Of which could be seen now
in East Tennessee and in Scotland over
in Europe. All this, OF course, we as
sumed would be very little trouble to
the present generation and he signifed
assent with smile.
Wonder how these laundering Elias 5
which appear periodically with a mes
sage to kings and potentates that the
world is coming to an end next poke
berry season can reconcile the scientist
theory.
The best part OF il is that the Lord is
not having any star chamber sessions
with any Of us poor mortals with regard
to his plans. He has given us the
Scriptures and in them he tells us that
be will bring about the millennium and
the judgment in his own good way, and
that it is not for us to know these things.
Frederick William Kaspereit, the
Chicago machinist, is the latest addition
to the line Of aberrated saints who are
direct from the Lord. These men would
be harmless but for the fact that the
world is inhabited by others OF homo
geneous class, ready and eager to turn
the world into babel of wid-eyed luna
tics, With sucking babes aud defenseless
women and children at the mercy OF
mob Of demoniacs.
The followers Of these pretenders are
sometimes impressed with the com
mission Of crime in the name Of the
Lord, and that i the real danger that
turks in the path Of this delusion.
God never intended for men to act on
the widest suggestions Of fanaticism.
He has gwen us the Word, and it is as
simple as the faith OF child. There !
are no CHASTITY visions and surging emo |
tions accompanying his plan Of redemp-
ton Christ, the Nazarine, was true to
nature, unpretending, modest and sim
pie He issued no war cry and pro-
claimed no catastrophes His Gospel
was simple and sensible and so easy that
the wayfasing man though fool need
not be mistaken.
The religion OF the Lord Jesus Christ
needs no sensational announcements and
no healthy mind need suffer from the
distempered utterances of maniacs who
have suddenly become engrossed with
the idea that they are commissioned to
announce the closing chapter Of the
world and humanity.
