Editor National Tribune: At a regu-
lar meeting of Sumner Post, IL, G. A.
R, Portland, Ore, at their Post room,
Jan. 18, the business for the evening
being near it's close, an alarm was given
at the door, and on being attended by
the Guard he announced a committee
from Sumner w. r. c., which, being
admitted, advanced to the center of the
Post room, and extended an invitation
to the members of the Post to visit the
Corps and partake of refreshments. The
Post finished their business and re-
paired to the rooms occupied by the
Corps. The assembly was called to or
der by one of the ladies, who requested
the Conductor to escort Comrade Geo.
Older and Mrs. Older to the two seats
in front of the presiding officer. That
being accomplished, she reminded those
present that the 50th anniversary of
the wedding of the youthful couple
had occurred on Jan. 1, 1910. and this
was the only opportunity the Corps had
to remind those present of that agree
able fact, and after congratuiating them
in happy address presented them with
a handsome gold-lined silver fruit dish.
All was done SO Unexpectedly the cOu-
pie was to some extent overcome, Dut
happily responded. Then one of the
good sisters of the Corps presented Mrs.
Older with a beautiful hand-painted
plate Dear Mother Miller then called
Mrs. Mcbride to the front, and said she
had been instructed to present her with
handsome silver hand mirror. The
Post Commander announced that after
he had entered the room one of the
good sisters had handed him a small
piece of paper, which on examination
he found was a check for S25. That is
the kind of an Auxiliary we have, and
we are very proud of them, as we
should be. There were 81 of the vet

ILLUSTRATED


NEW BOOKS in the lit.
erary history OF thia
= country had such in-
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the 'Si klegg'
series. From the very lirst
the story attracted a host OF
readers. and these increased
in geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told OF the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it is
far the best story of the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is sd
truthful, so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of tho
book is one of its most fas-
cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros Of
the story see the fun them-
selves at once and tho
author yividly depicts IL.

The MOOdpecker.

A woodpecker sat on knotty
limb; his head was red and his
temper grim: for the world was
out of whack with him. He had
hammered the stumps till his head
did swim; he had looked for worms
till his eyes were dim: be had
punched each tree and knot and
limb, and darn the bug there was
for him. Not a song he sung. not
"a woodland hymn, how can bird
with hunger slim, and gaunt
starvation grewsome grim, looking
right into the eyes Of him, get up
a voice like cherubim, and with
melody make the welkin swim?
His crop was vacant, and only a
whim was in the stomach of him.
Then he flew to the river and
drowned him, and never made an
effort to swim. His last words
were Oh birdie trim, why did you
vote for the hawk so prim, who got
to work on each woodland limb,
and placed trust on the bugs of
thin? I'm like the farmer gaunt
and grim. who gets surrounded by
a rim, of trusts that Eli him to the
brim, with wind till there's
naught in the stomach of him.
The woodpecker then was out Of
breath. and the fish that ate him

Austin FERGUSON HEARING at Jackson.

The habeas corpus hearing on

charged with the murder nearly

inmate of house of i'll fame, and
who made his escape from Marshals
C. B. Lea, of Pearlhaven, and
Smylie Blue, of Brookhaven, while
being taken back to Jackson the
morning after the crime, was COM
menced Wednesday before Chancel-
lor Lyeil, at jackson, in an effort
to secure bail, and will not be COM
pleted for several days, owing to
the fact that the testimony adduced
made it clear that the evidence of
other witnesses who are now alb
sent, will be required to get at the
exact facts.
A number of witnesses have bsen
before the court, but none of
them were eye witnesses, One Of
the inmates. an eye witness, has
died since the killing. and another
has left the city.
The opinion was expressed at the
hearing that the more important
witnesses that are within the juris-
diction of the court will be on hand
in few days. Ferguson is repre-
sented by Attorney r. P. Thompson.

Two mines to Consider.

Brandon News: A car oad-630
bushels of corn was shipped here
this week for farmers who had not
raised enough to feed their stock
and for others who are not farm.
ing, but have stock to do their
work and must buy their feed.
The year has been an exceedingly
bad one to raise corn, but the boys
who worked their acres under the
rules laid down for the guidance of
the members of the boys corn club
contest produced yields. most of
them, from 40 to go bushels to the
acre. The car of corn was sold at
about 80 cents per bushel, about
$500. Ten acres of land making as
much as the best acres produced in
the boys contest would have filled
that car and $500 would not have
had to be sent to Tennessee, but
would have been kept in the
county.
1t cost those who had to haul the
corn from car to farm some 10
cents per bushel, as Is bushels
weigh 1,080 pounds the weight of
two bales of cotton and the pay
for man and team for one day
would be about $1.50 and when the
distance was, say six miles, only
one trip day could be made.
With good roads twice the load
could have been drawn easier, SO
one can readily see that a saving of
one half or 5 cents a bushel would
have been made, which amounted
to $50 on his one ear.
For prosperity to abide with us
we must raise our feed stuff and
we must quit paying $50 bad road
taxes on one car of corn, or other
freight.
