What Peanut Factories
Can Do.

We have before US a history o
the peanuts so far as the history
of the nut has bearing upon on,
locality. 1t is the story of tn,
I peanut in one county for IA dozeT
years, and probably no history
reads more like romance.
Beginning twelve years age
Suffolk was village, with small
prospects of becoming anything
more, today she is a thriving city,
with seven enormous peanuts fac
tories. Is is to be wondered at
that we are anxious for Clarendon
to obtain factory, and for the
county to begin the cultivation of
peanuts on a large scalel
These factories employ thous-
ands of people at good salaries and
tor factory town conditions at
Suffolk seem TO be ideal. A bank
there stands at the head of the
honor roll among the financial in
stitutions of the United States.
With capital stock OF $50, 900 it
has a surplus and undivided pro-
fits of more than 100000, a re-
cord not approached by any other
bank in the in the world so far as
we know. This in itself is a fair
indication of the prosperity which
peanuts bring.
In the Suffolk factories the nuts
are prepared for commerce, none |

{ in the various preparations for
which the oil is SO popular. This
S the best known peanut town in
he world, orders coming from all
PARTS of the world for their pro-
lucts. Only last month an enor-
nous order was received from
janada, where duty of one cent

From the article we gather that

The library room of the Maine His
torical society at Portland has another
and an important addition It is a
large and handsome portrait of Sir
William Phips, one of Names notable
sons. 1t is the gift of Henry Deering,
a citizen who has a happy habit
OF doing many things for Portland. In
December, 1907, he gave to this soci-
ETY. the portrait of Sir William Pep
perell that hangs in the same room.
The Phips portrait is the work of Miss
Elizabeth P. Patterson of Wis
casset, the corresponding secretary of
the society. The original from which
this portrait was painted is now
owned by Prof William P. Blake of
New Haven, and of Tucson, Ariz. Sir
William Phips was knighted and Sir
William Pepperell was created
baronet, of whom it is said, that they
were the only native Americans who
had that honor and who continued
their residence in this country. They
were both born in Maine. There were
probably others in other states.-Lew-

the sashes inside The family was up
stairs in terror. Mr.. Slingluff and I
opened the dining room door a little
way-not enough for the dog to get
its mouth through, but far enough so
that we could get a hand under the
dogs collar and snap a harness trace
chain onto a ring under the collar.
The dog weighed 125 pounds, but
we succeeded in dragging it out into
the back yard, keeping It back from US
all the time with a club. In the yard
it was chained to post and I shot at
it twice, then 1t used it's tremendous
strength and snapped the chain in
two. It made a wild leap for me. I
had no time to think It was all I
could do to leap into an clubhouse and
slam the door, for the dog was almost
on me-
"The dog was, for a time, master of
the situation, but 1t again leaped into
the dining room and started on a ram
page through the house I was there
to kill the animal, so I got Officer
Payne at the next corner and we re-
turned to the onslaught. I went
through the hall downstairs and Payne
approached by way of the rear stair

most succeeded in chewing it's way out
of the hall window, when it heard us
and started upstairs after US. We got
behind door, opened it a little way
and shot the dog dead "

FIGHT WITH MAD DOG
CINCINNATI PATRoLMAN SAYS

to get somewhere that the dog can't

Thus did Patrolman John Sheehan
Of the Seventh district sum up his feel

Great Dane at the Walnut Hills resi-
dence of Eugene Slingluff broke a
chain and leaped at him. Sheehan can
still see the great red jaws of the ra-

him in the battle And this is the word
