LOCATE At QUEEN OF THE DIVIDE
DICKERSON'S DUPLICITY

The editor of the Divide Review in a
very rabid article in the last weeks is
sue OF his paper attacks certain bust
ness men Of the county accusing them
OF "Grafting" through the use Of
county money but in so doing deliber-
ately attempts to mislead the voters of
Elbert County and to influence them
in casting THAR vote for certain county
officials
Dickerson tells US that the county
moneys are used by certain parties
but does not make mention Of him
self nor the bank in which he is
interested. He with scme of his bust
ness associates. are prominent stock
holders of the bank Of Elizabeth, but
but he does not tell US, but attempts to
conceal the fact that not less than half
and at times much more than half Of
the funds belonging to the county have
been kept in open account by Treasurer
Carnahan at this bank at Elizabeth Of
which Dickerson is part owner.
Now it would seem that if the banks
receiveing the countys money on depos-
it is crime then he is certainly part
to this felony of which he is attempting
to make SO much, How can he consist
emily accuse Others OF wrong doing
when he is certainly party thereto him
self
Dickerson knows that the bank in
which he is interested has its full share
OF county patronage and il he is such
saint as to believe the receiving OF
county deposits wrong why does he at
tempt to evade his own wrong doing by
attempting to deceive the people into
believing that our bank at Elbert is re-
ceiving all county patronage. Why not
come out openly and admit his own po-
sition in this matter. II this it robbery
Dickerson certainly robs, and worst OF
all attempts to lay the blame elsewhere.
Ii any bank is paying any officials bond
then he is certainly paying his part
therefore.
DiCkerson knows that the banks at
Elbert and Elizabeth furnish Jointly a
s35,OOO depositary bond to secure Ebert
County for all moneys left with them
and that these banks pay good rate of
premium for this bond and that the
funds are thus boubly secured 20 the
County Why does he state that Ell
bert County has no assurance OF recei.
wing back its money when it is doubly
bonded and when at least half of it is
atall times on deposit with a bank in
which he is interested. Is he sincere in
his statements or is he attempting to
mislead people into voting against the
present County Treasurer because he
did not deposit the county money with
the now defunct Farmers Bank where
Dickerson made such desperate efforts
to have it placed.
We feel sure that the people of Elbert
County will feel better satisfied with
the funds well secured and safe at all
times than to be drawing paltry 2 per
cent without security.
We believe that our treasurer has ac-
ted wisely in choosing the additional
security to the small rate Of interest
that can be had by letting the moneys
out to bidders. We also know that not
one County in five in our class in the
State receive any revenue from county
funds.

There are roads from dawn to sunset

down from Cadiz to Tangier.
When the awkward-moving camels take
their cumbrous loads and start
From Damascus to Palmyra, / must

Yet these fancies lure me idly as a face
whose smile Is wan,
For the world is all q desert till you come
to Ispahan.
There the women at the fountains talk
and lOiter In the sur,
On their lips old Omar's verses tasting
pleasures while they run.
There the night Is cool with fragrance
and the quiet day drifts by
Like a pageant of illusion comprised In
Al arch of sky.
I shall take the road some morning
through Tabriz and Teheran
Passing far across the desert till / come
to Ispahan.
Life and death there throb with mystery.

] shall feel no press of knowledge making
truth the germ Of i'll.
There they listen to the Sufis while the

And the distant line Of camels ends the

On my way across the desert to the domes

THE LADY BUGS PARTY.

Daddy" said Ethel one night, you
are always telling me that the Lady
Bug Is going to give a party, but you
never tell me about the party. Please
tell me tonight
you see, the Potato Bug family were
hiding at the Lady Bugs, and so she
said to Mrs. Potato Bug: Now that
YOU are here and can help me, I think
l will give my party. We were so up
set by the thought tEat o were In
distress that ! forgot to invite every
body, but the dear old doctor will be
here, and / will get him to go around
to all and ask them to my party
$50 when DR.. Beetle came that morn
ing to pay his respects to the Lady Bug
she asked him TO tell everybody to
come to her party, and he did So, and
not only that, but he saw to the music
as well.
1.-THE moon was shining brightly
when the folk began to arrive at the
Lady Bugs. First came the Crickets
and the Katydids and the Locusts to
provide music, and the G~rasshoppers
came with violins made out Of corn
"The Lady Bug stood at the door to
greet them all. How do you do?' she
said to the Spider. DO let the Flies
alone for once and the Spider smiled
and promised to be good.
THE music sounded out through the
open windows. The Katydids, the
Crickets and the Locusts trying their
hardest to Guido the Grasshoppers with
their violins made out Of cornstalks.
"Old DIR. Beetle stood in one corner
watching it all with wonder and amaze
ment. He liked best of all to see the
dainty little Lady Bug rushing In and
out among the guests, and he admired
the way the Fire Flies lit up the bun
galow.
by and by the bugs began to dance
and the good old Doctor asked the Lady
Bug for a waltz, and all stood aside
while the couple whirled around
sit was a merry party, n just be-
fore they all said good night Miss Lucy,
looking out of the window. said to lit
tie sonny: 1t seems to me the Katy
dds and the Crickets are singing loud
er than usual tonight And they were
sure enough" D.

DR.. CALL.

Did the Potato Bug children attend
the Lady Bugs party?' asked Ethel
one night.
Certainly" replied her father. You
remember the Potato Bug family had
to leave their home because Frank, the
hired man at Miss Lucy's, was coming
after all the bugs to destroy them. But
Faith Potato Bug was taken sick the
very next day because she ate too much
cake at the Lady Bugs party.
Mrs. Potato Bug was awakened in
the middle Of the night by Faith, who
was crying. What is the matter, my
dear child?' asked Mrs. Potato Bug.

"'What shall we do?' she asked of

Potato Bug got out of his bed and has

"I am sorry to disturb you, my dear,

EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO HE HAD
LESS THAN THREE DOLLARS.

He IL Now One of the Richest FARM
ers I'm Saskatchewan, Central
Canada.
Arriving in Canada in 1891, . just
eighteen years ago, e. A. Guillemin,
could speak but his native language.
He Is a Frenchman. He had but a
little over 81 in his pocket, thus be.
ing short over 81 of the $40 required
to secure entry for a homestead Of
100 acres. He eventually borrowed
the money, and, near Forget, Sas-
katchewan, he started life In Canada
on the homestead in which to-day he
is the fortunate possessor Of fifty quar-
ter sections of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillemin did not acquire
all these acres as a result altogether
Of his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac.
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about SO per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until nov he has
fifty quarter sections, some Of which
he can sell at SIS per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This yea he was engaged In thresh'
ing on his place for 54h days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
I train load, at a price varying from
"a to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels OF
| oats, 1000 bushels Of barley and SOC
bushels Of fax. He owns 104 horses
| and a number of cattle, but since the
! construction Of the railway he has
| been engaged chiefly in raising wheat
| This year he bought his first threshine
machine, paying for it the sum o.
| $1,000. He estimates that the machint
| earned for him this fall $4,000, thus
| paying for itself in one season, ant
leaving him 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
| t~hreshing, not a single day being los
in the two months which were spen'
in this work. The wheat averaged q
| bushels to the acre and graded No
1 and No. 2 Northern. In the pas
nine years. sever good crops have
been harvested on this farm. For 81,
successive years the returns were ex
| %cellent, that is In the years 1901. 1902
1908, 1904. 1905 and 1906. In the two
following years there was a partia
failure. AS the years have passed thu
quality of the buildings on the farm
| have been steadily improved, and ar
now as good as can be found In tn
district. About $4,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillemin
The farm consists of $3.50 acres, o
which about 5000 acres were unde'
| crop this season.
