Grace Street Baptist church. at Fou-
shoe and Grace, can fight the opera
ton OF bar in the home of the
Dixie Aerie OF Eagles, which will be
occupied the latter part of the sum,

the church. is now being fitted out by
the aerie preliminary to its being va
Gated by w. Isaac Johnson, the color
ed undertaken. from whom ii was
purchased for $2b, 600 several months
ago.
In view Of the fact that the aerie
Is classed ms "a club, the Hastings
Court has no authority under the law
to prevent transfer Of the license to
Foushee street from the present head
quarters OF the aerie at Fourth and
Broad streets. Judge Witt has al
ready informed a member Of the
church TO this effect, and IL Is prac-
tically assured that no fight will take
place in court when application for a
transfer is made. The aeria recently
obtained renewal OF its liquor license
for 1911.

Bradstreet's says for Richmond and
vicinity:
Continued cool weather through the
majority OF the week has continued
TO retard trade. Though retail trade
has shown slightly more activity dur
ing the last three days Of the week.
Reports from all sections OF the dis
trict are to the effect that all farming
operations are late although planters
have prepared for an increased acre
age of cotton. Paints and oils are ac-
tice. Manufacturers Of trunks and
bags report orders sufficient to de-
mand full time operations. Dry goods
and shoes are quiet Manufacturers
OF tobacco and cigars report less ac-
tivity than Is usual at this season.
Provisions and meats are moving In
fair volume. Poultry and eggs show
little activity. Building. generally is
not active. Railroad reports. with

ceipts. Collections are slow.

ly, IN Mason's hushed key.
Mason flung up his hand crying
frettllly: Man don't potter! Every
mint,te counts. We must be married,
and back in place long before mid
highland there's run of twenty
miles each way"
whats the use of running?" Clay
persisted ,doggedly.
Mason clutched him feverishly ITO
savs the fortune I'm Shaving in prison
for" he said. "Grandad means to
leav. 1t in his will that am to marry
the girl he has chosen for me. OBJ
viopsly, If / turn out to be already
married to somebody else, that provi
sion is void, without hurting the will
otherwise"

Clay said, running away. But as he
turNed the next corner he Stacked to
slow walk, asking himself If he were
not doing wrong.
An hour or so later, he had no such
doubt. Elsie's radiant eyes, her smil-
ing mouth, treasured him. She was
worth lot of risk, Clay decided He
felt chivalrous pity for her, and was
ready to go all lengths to help her.
Mason had told him briefly their love
stcry-it was rustic Montague and
Capulet affair-her people the Enslys,
had been at odds with the Masons
time out of mind. Then Grandad had
all m1ser's instructive hatred of I'M
success for them. Their fortunes had
fallen until Elsie went out sewing
by an irony of Fate she was even then
making fine white lacy things, of the
very newest shapes and patterns, for
Flora Mcleod, the girl Grandad ap.
| proved.
No doubt he would have insisted
upon the marriage, except for his de
| termination to keep his grandson be-
side him. Flora came dutifully once
a week to call on him-though he
could neither see nor hear her, he
| knew the feel of her hand, and ate
with enormous relish the good things
she fetched him.

gulped the dainties. Beauty fades

or drought overtakes you. you can
have plenty of water to make your
crops at will. While here in Iowa we
lose part of our great corn crop, which
will average they say about Is bushels
and all our pasturage so that dairying
has gone to-next to nothing,-ou gar
den vegeta bles to near nothing. Wells
have gone dry and many of our farmers
are hauling water for miles. These con-
ditions are averted in the irrigated
country, where water is the staple ar
ticle and the right to use it is yours

gated lands and be convinced OF their
richness and surety they give you, OF
