STRANGE FREAK OF WEATHER
BIackness of Night Pervaded the Sec
ton Around Abel Early in
the Afternoon.

The Abel News, in Berrien county,
prints the following account of
phenomenon in that community a
few afternoons ago:
Strange and unusual weather pre-
vailed in Abel Monday afternoon.
About three o'clock the clouds thick
ened, and for over an hour the dark
est period ever witnessed here in the
daytime was experienced. The
clouds, smoke, volcano dust, or what
ever it was, gathered from the north
west and in a short while it was so
dark that the people could not dis
tinguish each other at any distance
hardly.
During the dark hours and after
the clouds had become somewhat dis
sipated one of the hardest rains, ac-
companied by hail, ever witnessed
here fell. A roar, as of distant thun-
der, also added ito the hideousness of
the occasion. Hardly anybody had
ever seen it so dark at that time of
the afternoon for such a length of
time. Had it not been for a light
streak in the south it could truly
have been said that it was as dark
as midnight
THE blackness seems only to have
extended a few miles, as people COM
ing in on trains say they saw nothing
of it few miles away"

.ceptiOn of Yourself

IN MEMORY OF MIR. MCRACKEN.
Tribute to a Former WelI-Known
Citizen of Terrell County.

On Monday night, January 81,
1910, the angel of death visited the
home of Mrs. R. L. West and claimed
her dear, beloved father. He was
born November Z, 1926. He will be
greatly missed by his loving children
and grandchildren. He was loved
by every one who knew him. It is
a consolation to know that we can
go to him. Don't weep, fond chill
dren and grandchildren, for your
dear beloved father and grandfather
had to go. His sufferings are over
on this earth, and we can realize that
Jesus died for him, and he will be
His when He comes to make up His
| jewels.
Our dear beloved father and
grandfather is not lost, but he has
gone before, for ''the Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away" He was
a good and beloved father, and is
| survived by five children-Mr. D. A.
McCracken of Brooks county, Mrs.
D. S. Williams of Colquitt county,
Mr.. Jno. McCracken of Mitchell coun-
ty, Mrs. R. L. West of Mitchell coun-
ty and Mrs. Jas. Hay of Colquitt
county. His six grandchildren he
raised and loved so we'll are: Mrs.
Georgia Jackson, Mrs. Parry Lee Ed
wards, Mrs. Rosa Mae Holland, Mr..
D. A. West and two small boys, lit
! tie Jim and John West.
May the weeping children and
grandchildren be resigned to the
will of God in the removal of their
dear one. He was a grandfather of
thirty-two grandchildren and six
grandchildren.
DR.. J. n. Isler visited him on Mon
day afternoon, but our dear one had
to go. All he could do was of no
avail. The old fellow was real happy
at his death. He sang a song for his
dear ones while he was passing
away
He followed his dear beloved wife.
which has been gone fourteen years,
which grieved the old man a great
deal. He was a good citizen of Ter
rell county for forty years, and
served three years in the war.
His children thank the good peo-
pie of Parrott and the Surrounding
community for their kindness and
the burial of their dear father. A
good citizen of Mitchell county, Mr..
Lott Warren, followed the old man
until the last. The remains were in
tered at Parrot church Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock.

BILLY SUNDAY BACK TO THE FARM.
Famous Evangelist to Retire to Farm in
Southern Washington.

A Seattle dispatch contains the
following information in regard to
Billy Sunday, which will be found Of
interest to his many admirers in this
locality:
William Billy Sunday, the IA
nous evangelist and former baseball
player. is holding his last revival
service. His farewell sermon will
be preached in few days and then
the savior of games and of thousands
of souls will retire to a splendid
farm at Utopia he has just pur-
chased in Southern Washington.
Work in the pulpit, while it has paid
great dividends both in money and
satisfaction, has been undermining
the health of the famous gospel
preacher. He and his wife will set
tie down on the farm and try to en-
JOY their last days in peace and tran
guilty.
The farm near Roseburg lies in
the foothills of the Cascade noun
tains, contains famous trout streams,
wonderful game preserves, forest
of mighty trees and is within sight
of the mountains snow capped the
year round. The climate is temper
ate in summer and mild in winter
and there are thousands Of bearing
peach, apple and pear trees in the
great orchard.
It is said the evangelist paid close
to $50. 900 for his Garden Of Eden
and that it is worth every dollar of
it. Not far distant is the former
home of the famous cartoonist,
Homer Davenport. and his collection
of wild game birds and animals.
The famous evangelist is not far
from unique settlement of preach
ers known as the Parson village.
Here are more than a hundred
preachers of every denomination.

REDWOOD co. AND STATE DISPLAYS.
c. c. Eaton of Morgan Will Arrange the
State DispIay--CO. Fair Notes.

In connection with the special ses-
sions Of the county commissioners last
week, action was had for the APP
pointment of suitable person to
take charge of the collection and
exhibition Of the Redwood county
display to be made at the coming
state fair. Mr.. Tyson having asked
to be relieved on account of his
disabilities, the board wisely chose
Editor Cliff Eaton to carry on the
work to successful conclusion. Mr..
Eaton and his associates at Morgan
last year showed their ability to col
lect splendid agricultural display,
and other towns in the county will
possibly feel more enthusiastic in
taking up the idea as county dis
play with the work under the con-
troll Of a superintendent in no way
interested in the county seat. We
predict that Cliff will make good in
getting together the finest display
the county has ever had. with the
possible exception Of fruits, this
year being an unusually poor season
in that respect.
The following exhibits are desired
for the Redwood county display at
the state fair, and farmers or others
having any specimens of these Of
unusually fine character should COM
municate with G. G. Eaton of Nor
gan, in charge of the display. Do
it for Redwood county:

TWO new CAN
DIDATES FILE
George Posi-. Democrat, and
Donald Stewart, Republic
can, for Auditor.

There's going to be some real cam
paigning in Redwood county for the
next six weeks, with several new
stars in the political armament dis
closed this week and possibly more
to follow.
Last Saturday Geo. Posi- of San
born opened the game for the Dem
ocratic nominees by filing for the
Office of county auditor. Auditor L.
P. Larson having previously filed
for the Republican denomination,
and on Monday following Donald
Stewart, secretary and manager for
the Rural Telephone company, filed
for the Republican nomination for
the same office.
Representative Bendixen was here
last Saturday, and while he did not
at that time file for a denomination
for representative on the Republic
can ticket, he made no secret of his
intention to do so few days later.
On Monday also, two of the first
termers who have no reason to ex-
pect or fear opposition-A. D. Nc
Rae as register of deeds and N. V.
r. Hunter as treasurer formally
filed for nomination, all of them
with the usual accompaniment OF
paying their fees.
At the worst, the agony will soon
be over, and we do not look for any
great degree of acrimony during
the time, it having been clearly dem
onstrated two years ago that de-
famation is losing game in this
county All of the candidates are

HOW DALzELL GOT his START.
Interesting Story Of His First Locating
at GAYLORD.

A Minneapolis Journal reported
picked up a good story last Friday
in connection with an interview with
John Dalzell Of Morton, who was in
the same class at Hamilton college
with Vice President Sherman. Mr..
Dalzell declared that the charges
alleged to have been made by the
man Harmon, on the authority of
Senator Gore, were absurd. That
the vice president was not the sort
of man to get mixed up in such a
transaction and besides was finan-
cially independent and did not need
the money.
Jim Sherman was one Of the
most popular fellows in college, !"
said Mr.. Dalzell. He was not
strong in class work, though we all
knew he was clever enough. He
came from a wealthy family and
could have about what he wanted,
but he was always liberal and did
his part in everything. He was
absolutely straight. and I would
never believe that he had a hand in
any crooked deal.

Sherman last, but here / am in a
country town, making out mort
cages at fifty per. and he is vice

The county commissioners haye
again showed their interest in the
bringing out Of a good display of
livestock and products at the COM
ing county fair by appropriating
$500 to add to the appropriation for
premiums on stock and products
made by the state. Farmers should
not miss the chance to make a little
easy money and more important
still, advertise their farms and the
county at the same time by showing
the products of their farms and
herds next month.
The directors Of the county fair
association held special session
Monday evening. The secretary re-
ported correspondence with the agri-
cultural extension division of the
