Truth vs.. Gossip.

Editor Times:
1t has come to my knowledge
more than once that many people
(if not all, as has been said in Har-
rison believe that | was a widower
with one child, simply because l
had little boy with me for many
months Those more bold have
asked my wife when was going to
bring the boy to live with US.
My wife knows all the circumstan-
ces of my past and honors me for
my actions. She does not care
what gossip says; have not con-
suited her about writing this arti-
Gle; but because | do not wish peo.
pie to have an erroneous idea of my
wife's relation to me, in justice to
her | make the following statement.
| lived my life the way | wanted
to live, and care not what construc-
tion Others place upon outward ap-
pearances, My landladies" " ex-
pected me to answer their questions
as to my marriage, death Of my
wife, as did, agreeing with them;
because otherwise they would have
shown the boy and | much discount
esy and had learned from expert
ence that it was safer to deliberate
ly let them mislead themselves. You
who have not had the experience,
can not understand the real heart
lessness of landladies when they
learn that the child had with me

We have wondered in the past
why the County Teachers Institute
has never been held at Harrison.
The result Of the recent voting on
the location would indicate that the
indifference of Harrison teachers is
to blame. The vote was recorded
at the Peoples Bank here; seventeen
votes were cast for Bellefonte and ten
for HARRISON only one Harrison

pox at Shaver in this county.
Mrs. Lou Kouth Lewis visited
Harrison friends this week, and in
cidently took in the meeting of the
U. D. c. while there.
There was a sheep buyer in town
Monday paying FIVE dollars per
head for good sheep. He bought
about fifty in Batavia.
Mrs. Jordon made flying trip to
Harrison, Monday, and transacted
more business than any man in
town, returning home by four
o'clock.
The forest fires although hard On
those who got burned out, still 1t
had helped the country in one re-
spect at least. Nearly everybody
who got their old rail fences burned,
are replacing them with wire fenc-
ing.
Our real estate man, Mr.. Smythe
has sold Mrs. Fowler's farm to a
party who, we understand has
bought it for speculation, And this
reminds us of the fact, that if land
continues to advances in price, it
will not be long till a man cannot
get a home unless he has a pretty
big bank account.
DR.. II. L. Routh, of Batavia,
thinks he knows all about agricul-
ture, SAYS he was raised on a farm
and he is having some grass seed
sown this spring and would not
let anv one SOW it for him, but went
out into the field himself to see that
it was done right, and sowed the
seed himself, and when they came to
measure the ground and count up
what seed was sown, it developed
that he had sown two bushels to
the acre. His neighbors say they
think it will be thick enough.

Work on the Fulbright mine, two
and one half miles North of Olvey,
is progressing most favorably and
Messrs. Hanson and Stahl, who
have the property leased expect
their fifty ton mill to arrive within a
week. Several new leads have been
opened up during the past few days
which indicate an abundance of very
rich ore. A picture of this mine and
the following item was published in
last Sundays st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat regarding this property:
1.-TWO miles north of Olvey Ark. a
little town located in the southeast
corner of Boone County, on the line
of the Missouri and North Arkansas
Railroad new zinc and lead field is
being opened up and developed
largely by Missouri brains and
money. On account Of the modesty
of the two men who have secured
valuable leases upon this land very
little was known of the actual de-
velopment work until few days
ago. The sight that confronted the
first visitors to the well organized
mining camp was huge pile of rich
zinc ore containing so tons, which
runs very high percent zinc with
average much higher than the Jop-
lin ore. This property, which two
years ago was sold for $500, is to-
day conservatively valued at $780,
600.
"The mine is located on what is
known as the old Fullbright prop
erty, formerly owned by Col. D. n,
Fullbright, of Valley Springs, Ark,

Of Little Rock, Mr. Stortz, is the
present owner of the property and

son, of lockwood, Randolf County,
Ill. For the past three years Mr..
Hanson, however, has spent most
of his time operating in the Flat
River (Mo.) lead district. He is a
practical mining engineer.
Speaking of the development work
here, Mr.. Hanson stated last night
that their present object was to
block out the ore as far as possible

already blocked out to pay for the

children and when found the child
was an orphan belonging to an or
phans home, it loved me and to it |
had in a few hours become greatly
attached. l adopted the boy and
the deed of adoption is of record in
St. Louis County, Mo. l shall not
attempt to tell the vicissitudes
through which we passed; | soon
learned that people had no interest
in the child when they learned it
was only adopted, but to believe
that it was my own child they were
willing to take care fit more care
fully while | was at work; especially
since | paid full board for it and a
good bonus besides for its care. At
my parents home in Scott County,
Arkansas, on May 26, 1908, the
boy died after long illness,
We had been comrads in every
sense of the word; | felt his loss
deeply; in associating with the child
! had found that life was worth Ev-
ing; that to watch his nature un-
folding, intelligent, loving, one of
Gods dearest blossoms; was a
pleasure indeed which often kept me
away from mischief or weaker
things. After a few months, | de-
cided nothing else was worth while;
that the associations of a child was
more than other associations or
other amusementst to me; therefore, in
September, 1908, ! adopted another
boy then Az years of age, whom
you know by the name of Wayne.
His name was Ernest Comfy; his
parents had lived and died in Kan
sas City, Missouri. The deed of
adoption changing his name to
Wayne Leming is Of record in St,
Louis County, Missouri.
AS the doctors of Harrison know,
he was not in the best of health; he
ing bachelor (supposed widower)

woman or girl who could come to

THE statements attributed to the
administration laying the postal de-
6cit to the second class postal rate
are deliberately calculated to de-
ceive. The postal deficit for 1910 is
less than half what twas so years
before, in 1860, While the volume of
second class mal carried is twelve
times greater. There would be no
deficit whatever if the graft in the
payment to railroads for carrying
mail was eliminated, the franking
abuse reformed and the whole post
office system, which reeks with
scandalous mismanagement, given a

H0ke Smith
a Blacksmith.

Atlanta, Oct. 3.-Hoke Smith has
become a blacksmit has well as a
governor and United States senator.
He became affiliated with the inter-
national union of the brawny men
of the forge when he was elected
an honorary member of their organ
ization by the convention assem-
bled in Atlanta. Their action fol-
lowed an address delivered by the
Governor.
If family names preserve family
histories, as some students avow, it
is probable that seven or eight gen.
erations ago, or even further back,
some of Hoke Smiths ancestors
were literally smiths, They may
have been blacksmiths, goldsmiths,
silversmiths. or armorers, but
smiths they certainly were and
this circumstance adds an in
terest to the most recent honor
which has been conferred on Hoke
Smith by the blacksmiths union.
Governor Smith is probably the
first of his family for a century or
more to whom their old trade has
come back, even as an honorary
title, for his immediate ancestors
have all pursued, the more studi-
Gus professions.
