analysis Of the word "Good-Bye"?
Perhaps I will not be so smart with
the letter 81" and it's tail Webster
says: ''The shape of the letter is
evidently borrowed from an Oriental
original, nearly coinciding with a
character of the Samaritan alpha
bet", and that original has a tail.
The word "ell'' in linear measure
takes it's name from an old Welsh
or Saxon word meaning elbow, or
knee, the angle formed by the limb
bent at the joint making good let
ter "L". The average arm bent at
the elbow measures 27 inches. a
French "ell', which in shape, is our
letter IL. But the letter Ell" is
much older than the measure "elI",
for the letter takes it's name and
shape from the former. Likewise,
the "ell', or minor addition to a
house. The Club members seem to
be in doubt as to who Daddy Jim is
l am very sure he is Mr.. James La
nier, business manager of The JEFF
fersOnians, who lets us call him Dad
dy Jim for short; and if | am cor
rect, won't you please tell us, Daddy
jim, if you are related to our South
ern poet, the late Sidney Lanier? I
will close with much love for Daddy
Jim and the Postcard Club.-Vir-
ginia Myers, Cocoa, Fla.
Most of our letters came from
hieroglyphs, pictures of objects,
which were afterwards reduced and
abbreviated until they became signs
and letters. The written capital
81" is a survival of the crouching
lion of the Egyptians and Assyrians.
The large top Of the letter, thus: 6
was the lions head and name; the
body has become abbreviated into
the little loop at the bottom, and the
tail that follows the loop was the
lions tail, a little curled, like a great
cats. I will tell you some day about
the English Laniers, of whom I am
one, and the French Laniers, from
whom our great Southern poet, Sid
ney Lanier, sprang.-Daddy jim

The South Developing Insur-
ance Companies AS Assets

For many years after the Civil
War the South was blind to many
of her most valuable mercantile as
sets. While quick to realize the ben
efits of insurance, life and fire, the
South was sending thousands Of dol
lars to the Northern insurance COM
panies, and seemed unable to grasp
the idea that these companies could
be organized and managed as we'll
by the Southern as the Northern
capitalists.
An enormous proportion of New
York's wealth has been founded on
the insurance premiums sent from
the South. This looks like a broad
assertion, but industrial statistics
will prove it.
And now the South has begun to
keep some of the money at home by
organizing and financing insurance
companies, based on the same solid
basis as those of the North, and the
result of keeping this money at home
has become apparent.
New York State has fifteen insur-
ance companies with home offices in
that State and branches all over the
South.
While the South development in
the matter of insurance companies
has been slow, it is growing, and the
time will soon be when the thou
sands Of dollars which have poured
into Northern insurance companies
will remain at home and circulate to
the benefit of all concerned.

SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Daddy Jim:-What on earth
did you and the Cousins let it turn
so cold for? The cold wind and frost
killed all the young garden plants.
It killed all of the watermelon vines.
We won't have any good old soon
watermelons this year, and it killed
Gmost of the cotton plants. My Papa
takes The JeffersOnian, and thinks
he couldn't do without it, I, my
self, like to read from the front page
to the back. I think the Sunny
South Brotherhood is a grand thing.
[ want Mr.. Watson or anybody that
knows some, to send me a list of the
shut-ins. [ want the ffteen-year- old
ones on a list separate from the older
ones. How many of the Cousins be-
lieve in the Brotherhood? I GER
tainly do, and am going to write to
that page before long I wrote to
the Postcard Club once before, and
my letter was printed. [ received
some cards from some of the COus-
ms, and answered all that received.
[ am great lover of flowers and
have great many yard flowers |
also have about forty-five pot plants
/ wish Daddy Jim would have pins
with P. @. G.. on them. [ would be
willing to pay five cents for one.
Pins with IS. B. B." on them would
also be nice for the Sunny South
Brotherhood. For fear of Billie, the
goat, will get my hat and go. I
will ask a riddle and go: Between
Heaven and earth and not on a tree
l hear some of the Cousins quarrel
ing now, so will close for this time,
with much love to the Club and Dad
dy Jim.-Your friend, Matte Pat
rick, Bernice, La, Rt. 2.
THANK you for suggesting the
pins. That's all right. Well see if
we can't have some pins that we can
sell for 5 cents each. We are going
to have some buttons for the Sunny
South Brotherhood, but some might
prefer pins. Are you Irish? I never
knew an Irish boy or girl who didn't
make a good speech, write a good
letter and have a good heart.

PRIMITIVE BAPTIST
Martin, Tenn.

II had a curiosity to see
whether the Primitive Baptist
was as unfair, hide bound, ar
Iogant and abusive as the pa
pers run by missionary IA
natics. To my agreeable
surprise I found that the
whole build and spirit of the
paper was up to my ideal of a
Christian paper. In choos-
ing your religious reading,
you might give the Primitive
Baptist a trial, even though
you are not of that faith and
order You'll get some really
religious literature, if you
do."-ThOs e. Watson in The

CAPT. DAY QUITS TEACHING
Leaves Wentworth After Tel
Years Of Active Service.

Captain Fred A. Day, after ten
years of active service as a teach
er and band director at the acad-
emy, retired from his school work
Saturday night to take charge of
the book store which he recently
purchased from E. G. LoOmis.
Captain Martin Of Albion, AHchi-
gan, has succeeded him.
Captain Day first came to Lex
ington some twelve years ago to
engage in the drug business; but
he soon sold out and entered the
employ Of Phillip Keller. One of
his first acts in Lexington con
sisted in the organization Of an
excellent band, which went under
the name of the Lexington Mar
ines. In spite of this handicap
the band played well and gained
some prominence.
In 1900 the Academy was in
need of capable band director
as well as teacher and so Cap
tain Dav who was A graduate of
the Warrensburg State Normal,
was engaged. His success was
wonderful, and ever since his adj
vent Wentworth has boasted of an
efficient band. Captain Day
has always been popular at Went
worth. Old boys write to him
and look him up first when they
visit the town. He has, indeed,
contributed no small part to the
present excellence Of Wentworth
In his new work he viii still be
in close touch with the Academy
and will undoubtedly enjoy
: large share of its patronage.

Editor Intelligencer;
In your issue of April 30 you

Miss Minnie Organ, entitled
Some Newspaper History of
Lafayette County. II have no
access to the files, and cannot be
sure of dates, but there is one er-
ror in the article which | wish
to correct. The article says:
Henry Davis became the sole
proprietor (Of the Lexington Ex-
press) in the fall of 1866, and
changed the name to The Caucas-
ion. He sold it in 1867 to Jacob
NJ. Julian, Ethan Allen and Will

paper men. This is all mis-
take. Julian, Allen and Mus
grove bought new material in st.
Louis and started The Causasion,
If | am not mistaken the first
issue was in April 1866. At that
time II. X. Davis was publishing
the Lexington Express. We
tried to buy him out but he ask
ed very high price and we con
cluded to use a new name anC
new material. A few months af
ter the Caucasion was started
Davis packed up his material anC
moved to Warrensburg.
j. NJ. Julian owned the Expires
in 1861 and was publishing
daily and weekly, all press worl
being done on hand press. Pub
lication was suspended about tn
first of June, 1861, on account o
the exciting war times. TIL

New Txpe Of Bridge.

According to the Stockholm Dag
blad, the chief of the Beton construc-
ton office has proposed for the new
bridge over Tranebergssund a con-
struction of a totally new type. The
bridge suggested is pontoon bridge.
but differs from the usual type in that
the pontoons are quite submerged and
are anchored to weights resting on the
bottom of the sea. The bridge, which
is constructed with latticework, con-
sists of long links thirty-five meters In
length, each Of which rests on two
pontoons. The excess of sustaining
power Of the pontoons Is so great that
tramways passing over the bridge do
not cause any depression whatever OF
the pontoons. The whole bridge re-
mains thus perfectly still. Independent

LOST HORSES IN RAGING FLOOD.
Ritzville Mans Team F1oundered in
Deep Stream on Odessa Road.

RitZville, Jan. 28.-During the
week the floods have been high in
the coulees In certain parts of the
county, due to melting snow. AS
George Stolz, farmer near Warden,
was returning from Odessa, driving
a team of horses, the team founder
ed into the deep stream flowing
through Rocky coulee.
Both horses persisted and without
the aid furnished by sage bush
growing near tn bank Stolz would
have lost his life One horse became
tangled up in a barbed wire fence
which had crossed the coulee and the
other horse, freeing himself from the
hack, faced the current and struggled
bravely for fully an hour before go
ing under.
