The Place Of Honor.

Farmer Hodge was Of the good, old
fashioned school, and he always gave
feast to his hands at harvest time.
1t was harvest time and the feast
was about to commence.
Giles was the oldest hand and the
hostess, with beaming cordiality, mo-
toned him to the seat by her right
hand. But Giles remained silently un.
responsive.
Come" said the hostess, don't be
bashful, Mr. Giles"-he was just Giles
on ordinary occasions you've right
to the place of honor, you know"
Giles deliberated moment, then
spoke.
THANK you kindly, Mrs. Hodge,
he said, "but if it's all the same to
you, I'd rather sit opposite this pud.

GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA.
In This Case, ChiId's Punishment Ger
taInly Failed to Have salu-
tary Effect.

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in dark
closet in that family the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For is minutes the door had been
locked without sound coming from
behind 1t. Not a whimper, not smile.
AT last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
Il thpit on your new dress and |
thpit on your new hat, and I'm wait
ing for more thpit to come to thpit
on your new parasol!"

COFFEE WAS 1T.

health but used to say Nonsense, it

Slowly was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
whole nervous force was shattered.
"My heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about year ago, that l must stop
drinking coffee or could never ex-
pect to be well again.
II was in despair, for the very
thought of the medicines had tried
so many times nauseated me. 1
thought Of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
Finally / concluded that owed it
to myself to give Postum trial. So l
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what delicious,
nourishing, rich drink 1t was! Do you
know I found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
Almost Immediately after 1 made
the change l found myself better, and
as the days went by l kept on improv-
Ing. My nerves grew sound and
STEADY, slept well and felt strong

gone. In every way 1 am well once

brownsville. Sugar cane is on the
market in abundance now and the
quality Of it is fine. 1t is probable
that the crop may not be as large as
usual in this section, as some of it
was badly injured by the late cold OF
last spring, but the heavy rains and
warm weather of the fall has made it
grow very fast and it seems to be
making up in quality for what it may
lack as to quantity. The season for
grinding cane bids fair to be rather
late this year, as the fall continues
unusually warm and the farmers do
not, as a rule, begin grinding until
there is danger of the cane being
hurt by heavy frost.

Chattanooga, December H.-(Special.)- The recent announcement of E. F. Blo- meyer, vice president and general man ager of the Chattanooga Southern, that his road had abandoned the proposed project of building the Gadsden and Bir- mingham railway, and thus, with the utilization of the tracks of the Chatta- nooga Southern, establishing a new line between Birmingham and Chattanooga as short, if not shorter, than the present route, of the Alabama Great Southern railway, is not seriously considered in railroad circles here. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the dilatoriness of Blomeyer's action, twho, it is alleged, is merely representing the Seaboard Air Line, is actuated by the desire to gain a right of way through the city of Gads- den at an expenditure much less than the one which now faces the promoters. right of way for s15.OO0, while the prop erty owners of Gadsden who are inter- ested demand $25,OO0

robberies have occurred in widely sep arated districts of the community.

Considerable indignation Is being mani fested in educational circles here over the failure of the state board of educa- toi in its meeting at Nashville last Fri day to award the negro state normal school to this city. The educators here allege that Chattanooga is being dis criminated against in favor of Nashville The bid of this city and county for the normal is $106,50O, in addition to a s20,00C school site, while Nashville and David- son county have offered but $6O,00O. The dilatoriness of the boards action Is thought to be actuated by the desire to give Nashville time to increase her bid.
 Developments of a sensational nature are expected here Monday or Tuesday in the United States district court be- fore Federal Judge E. T. Sanford, as the result of the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy Saturday after poon for the Great Southern Agency company by five of its principal directors. The existence of this company has been directed by receiver since February 10, 1910, when the first bill against it was filed in chancery court, and since that date Sam Erwin. the receiver, has col lected $1O0,000 and distributed it pro rata among the creditors of the concern who are in the most part subscribers to its stock.
 The developments are certain to occur not later than Tuesday, because of the fact that this date marks the expiration of the time-limit set by Judge Sanford for the presentation of objections to the voluntary petition.
 The action of the five directors in ques- ton in filing a voluntary petition in bank ruptcy is thought to be actuated by the fear that Joe V. Williams, representa- tive of the local creditors of the defunct concern, will be successful in his eff forts to have the individual directors re- sponsible personally for the total indebt- edness of the concern.
 The Great Southern Agency company purported to be an insurance company in which small spectators could obtain stock at the ground floor prices, but it's methods failed to meet the approval of tho state insurance commissioner. The creditors or stockholders are scattered throughout the southern states.
 tional complications occurred Saturday before Police Judge Martin Fleming when he bound over to the grand jury under s5000 bond three Italians charged with highway robbery. The mems names are
