Mrs. Gusta Bass and children

Daniel Persful was visiting at his
fathers Sunday.
Mr.. Bates has taken Mr.. Millions
place as superintendent of the Sun
day school. We have an enroll.

along nicely.
The correspondence from Hubble
Creek week before last contained
quite little squlb. Our brother
correspondent is about like all others
Of his kind, even the old darkey.
A preacher after taking an old
darkey down into the water and
baptizing him asked him how he
felt. Eyes sa, Parson," he says, |
feels like de rest of you brudren,
just like 'sputen." So our brother
from Hubble Greek is busting for
'spute no difference how it comes.
He says Mr.. Blue signed SIX of the
propositions Bro Million sent him.
We suppose he is honest in making
this statement and If 50 it proves
that he Is not acquainted with the
facts in the case and ought not to
be writing about it at ell.
Mr.. Blue challenged Bro. Million
to discuss all the differences between
his people and those whom Bro.
Million represented but the challenge
contained nothing to point out the
differences so Bro. Million met Mr..
Blues challenge with a counter
challenge in ten specific propositions
covering every point of ground be-
tween us, so there could be no
clubbing after the debate began.
The propositions sent to Mr.. Blue
had, all except one, been signed by
Million and Jno. l.. Fry. Mr..
Blue only signed five of the ten
propositions and refused to sign the
others. Bro. Million then proposed
that If Mr.. Blue would admit that
he (Million) was right in the posi-
tion taken by him in the remaining
hve propositions he would debate
the five agreed upon. But that If
there was a difference in the ground
covered by the five propositions, that
since he had challenged HIM to dis.
clss all the differences, be would
hold him to his challenge. Mr..

Miss Mae Bass is visiting her

Mr.. and Mrs. Pendergrass were

Mrs. Kilburn visited Mrs. Ton
Turner one day last week.
Mr.. Pendergrass contemplates do

er on his place at Forchee.
Pocahontas star herald., 1911-09-15

Blue answered this by telling hi
congregation that he never had
been anxious for debate and would
not debate now at all. This is his
only answer to Bro. Millions last
proposal,
He first proposed to debate all
the differences and offered money if
Bro. Million would debate with
him; he last confessed he never had
been anxious for a debate and
would not, now, debate at all.
Now every one can see that this
was simply back down. Even
our. correspondent if he will change
specks or even take the pair he has
off can see that with his naked eye.
As to the remainder of the
"squib" spoken of we will not
notice in this issue thinking it I'M
proper to discuss such points in the
county paper.
But if he comes again with such
stuff will have to apply few
mustard plasters to him and see if
we can't draw him back to proper
shape.

ping point, 1t is no better than
dozen and one other towns. 1t was
simply John D. Rockefeller. He
wanted to live in Cleveland and his
individuality his personality
brought the oil to him.
There is no reason why Boston
should be the shoe market of the
world. There are no hides there.
They are all shipped from the
West. Simply some man who knew
how to make shoes on a large scale
wanted to live there and his success
encouraged others to follow in his
wake.
There is no physical reason why
Chicago should be the eat-packing
center of the world. 1t could as
well have been st. Louis. Simply
Old Phil Armour wanted to live
there.
In nearly every town you visit
you hear some resident say: CAV,

The resident of any town that
makes such a statement wears whis.
kers and boots at heart.
Of fcourse, if your town isn't sporty
enough for you,' why, you car

to move anyhow.
1t isn't the sports that make ;
town-it's the jays.
The man who gave the light fol-
the sports on the Great White WAY
was jay-Thomas A. Edison, a
jay telegraph operator from Indian
apolis.
John d. Rockefeller, who in a
money way, Is the ideal of every
sport, was jay from Richmond,
New York.
Russell Sage, who loaned money
to the sports for years, was a jay
he started by jumping counters IN
a country store.
Some jay from Connecticut went
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago in
1898. He sat up stand on the
Midway and sold wooden nutmegs
to the sports for souvenirs. Final,
Ily he ran out of wooden ones and
sold 'em the real things at twenty
FIVE cents a throw.
William Dean Howells, Amer.
ica's foremost literary character,
will take more pride in telling you
of the days when he set type as a
jay printer on the Sentinel at Ash
tabula, Ohio, than his literary sue
cess of later years the DAYS when
they used shoe pegs to space the
type, and about a printer getting
drunk and using a plug of Star
tobacco for a cut.
Nearly every man in art, science,
literature, industry and commerce
here in America today either Is or
was a jay,
Cincinnati is the supply center of
the south. Years ago, at the wan
ing Of the river traffic, it was about
to give place to Louisville and
Memphis in the commerce of that
territory.
The citizens of Cincinnati got
busy and built the Cincinnati South

his dream saved the town.

ton. AS the temperature attributed to
the sun, $500 degrees absolute, would
melt any known substance, it seems only
reasonable to believe this statement.
He further states that the specific grav-
ity is too low to permit the suns mass
being other than gaseous.
The visible part Of the sun is in the
form Of gaseous shell, known as the
philosophers. II is clear and incandes-
cent. due TO the great temperature. Al
though II is theoretically probable that
the diameter OF the sun is slowly de-
creasing at a certain rate, due 10 radia

eided practically, as 1t would take 10000
years TO cause an appreciable change in
the solar diameter. Even after trans
