J. Nj. Parchman certainly does
rake the editor of the Aberdeen
Weekly for taking up the cause of
Bilbo, whose very name has become
a stencil in the nostrils of decency."

was followed by a reproduction of

were unsupported only by prejudice
against that gentleman. because be
had exposed the obliquity of secret
caucus methods. Mr.. Bilbo's tes-
timony afforded proof for indicting
a henchman of the caucus for brib-
cry. That sanctimonious body i'm
mediately arraigned Bilbo for testi-
flying as to the alleged bribery and
tried to convict him instead of the
accused. They secured the State
for witnesses to disqualify his testi-
mony, to expel him from the Sen
ate in order to save themselves from
suspicion and Dulaney from con-
viction. But the hand of Provi-
dence was i'm it all. Bilbo was exoner-
ated. The Senate acquitted him
and covered the dark caucus with
slush.

had been no charges OF corruption,

Be Considerable of your
Employees.

1t is said that consistency is a
jewel. That is true in its general
application, but there is a gem of
rarer sparkle, the crowning glory
of human qualities, and scintillat-
ing in the lives of such few mortals
as to tempt the blush of shame To
each of our cheeks The jewel re-
ferred to, is such stanger to the
world of driving, business people
that the radiance of its sparkle will
cast an ominous shadow upon each
of their cousciences. The gem we
speak of, is the jewel of considera
ton, the twin sister of mercy and
humanity. How many of our COM
mercial people, factory managers
and foremen, ever pause to consider
that the iron clad rules of ceaseless
activity, or standing posture of their
operatives, is slowly wearing human
lives away without compensating
benefit even to them? How many
heartless drivers of men and women
to premature graves, have consider
ed this momentuus question, and
have soul enough to curtail their
profits to save a human life?
Employers, this is indicted to you.
Be considerate of your employees.
If the demands of your business do
not exact their active energies,
donate that interim to their recrea-
ton and rest. If there is no bust
ness, let those who are compelled
to service enjoy surcease from
continual standing on their feet, or
unremitting service with their
hands. They will take it as in
creased investment in them on your
part. and will return it, with divi-
dend, by rendering you better serv-
i,e. If you have not already adop-
ted this plan, do SO at once. and
secure results here, and jewel that
will sparkle in your crown hereafter.

ly and defending the shady doings
in politics, would determine their
bearings well. they would saw wood
and say nothing. The Weekly is
not playing for political pie. 1t has
planted itself upon the foundation
of right and will oppose all it be-
lieves to be wrong and commend
that which it believes to be right,
whether championed by astute mo-
guls or voiced by pigmy of citizen.
1t would say to its contemporary,
and without disrespect to it's friend
Mr.. Parchman, that fools may ask
questions but it takes wisdom to an
swer them. In this connection il
would also say that the Clarion
Ledger took care to publish the
questions propounded by Mr.. .Parch-
man, but cautiously suppressed the
reproduction of this papers reply.
The Weekly doesn't care a flip for
that, as the Clarion-Ledger was play

preparations for a town fair. there
being SO much to do as you know
2. The people of town feel de-
pressed, as do the country people,
from last years short crop, and a
town fair would necessarily incur
some five or six thousand dollars
expense.

to better methods of farming. and
the better methods adopted by the
Farmers Union. by the non union,
by the bows through the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration work

power to subserve you to the very
best of Of my ability.
Now we want to be understood

right, one with another. to contest
for the prizes offered whether you
are in the demonstration work or
not.

To the people of Greenbrier COM
munity, you are not expected to do
more than your part, this is a
county fair and you are not expec-
ted to feed the people during this
fair, but to help. So don't feel
that this committee has placed an
imposition on you by voting the
fair at your convenience. Any COM

square by thirty-two to thirty-slx
inches long. The hole or opening be-
tween the compartments need not be
round as pictured unless you care to

enough for a hen to pass through

not strike the hen on the back as IL Is

Each hen should have an aluminium
or copper leg band on n OF her legs
with a number on II. Then as you

she shuts the deer after her and otLer
