EASY MONEY If
YOU Want IT

Well, we're going to have one on
the Fair Grounds on July 4th. It's to
be an old fashioned, greasy pig con-
test, and whoever catches the pig
keeps him. That's all there is to it.
No bar to where you catch him-that
is, you can catch him by the snout,
tail, leg, ear, or just get him in a
corner and sit on him. When you get
him and hold him he is yours.
Then, there's to be a greasy pole
with five dollar gold piece right on
top of it. If you can climb up and
get the gold piece its yours. That's
pretty good pay for five minutes
work, or MAYBE one minute, isn't it
boys? You had better have a little
pratice, though, so that you can get
up the pole easily.
Now, boys. get to work on a pig
and pole, and you can carry away a
pig and five dollar gold piece on
July 18th, just as easy as not. It's
worth while.

Queer Animal Traits

A fly on the window pane will
crawl to the top, fly back again to
the bottom and crawl up again. This
order is seldom reversed Why, no
one knows, says the Milwaukee Sem
tinel. 1t is on record that fly crawl
ed up a window pane thirty two
times, returning each time awning.
Hens scratch for food with the sun
behind them. the reason being that
the rays reflect on the minute parti-
cles. A blind hen will pick up
grain and not miss a kernel.
Cats seldom lie with their feet to
the fire. Usually they lie OH the left
side. Dogs lie with their forepaws to
the fire.
a mouse will ignore good supply
sutiient for meal and run great risk
to nlbble on a wholesale supply. 1t
Will hide at the source of food sup
ply and not depart therefrom until
actually disturbed. 1t isn't true that
mouse runs to hole at the first
alarm.
Find harmless little snake the
length of lead pencil and provide a
box for it in the house, visit it daily,
and at the end of three months it will
crawl to you for food.
Goldfish usually swim around a
globe to the right. They can be
taught to take fly out of the hand
in six weeks time. The presence of
other fish in the globe is usually ig-
nored by the goldfish. Drop a piece
of chip on the surface of the water
and it will brighten fish.

A Tragic Death.

An old man, sixty years of age,
came to Richmond, got on a spree.
penniless, wandered to negro dis
reputable house. begged the privilege
of resting Il while, and died there.
His contribution to the world, after
years of possible production, was an
empty whiskey ticker, a ruined life,
and more than tragic death. 1t ism t
so very long, when you think of it.,
since mother, with a shining face
and singing heart, looked into the
face of her innocent babe. What 10Y
those moments held only the angels
know what hopes were born with the
gift of her boy only lips long silent
in death could tell. In heavens
archives perhaps, there is record of
a mothers care. and a mothers
prayer. and a mothers unselfsh de-
votion.
And this is the end Along life's
pathway, from happy childhood to
hopeful youth, and then on to besot-
ted and debauched manhood and a
drunkard's death, alone, penniless,
maudlin in negro dive.
We draw aside the curtain and
gaze for moment upon this pathetic
picture. only that we may lift our
voices in warning against the curse
and captivity of strong drink. Each
day brings its harves of SORROW and
shame and death to unfortunate vic
tins of the cup. The door of the dram
shop leads to the downward way.
Men as happy, as hopeful, as strong
as you, have passed behind its swing
ing doors and passed on to captivity.
Learn the lesson from thousand
wrecks in the channel of life and
steer clear of the false lights of the
saloon. How long will the Christian
civilization of this twentieth century
permit the open saloon to despoil and
deDauch our young manhood and
Haunt its destruction in our faces. =
Richmond Virginian.

NO DEVELOPMENTS
IN SIMPSON CASE

In far away Missouri, bent with
age, is the mother of Carl Simpson.
the travelling man, who was murder
ed in Biuefield few weeks ago, anx-
iously awaiting letter from her
baby boy, Carl being the youngest
one n the family. Little does she
know, or probably ever will know, of
how he came to his death on the
night of the 9th of April. Every
effort is being made to keep the sad
news from his mother, according to a
letter received in Bluefeld, from a
brother of the murdered man, who
lives in New York City.
In the letter, which was received
Iy I. l.. Feltz, Mr.. Simpson says his
mother is very anxious to hear from
Wayne, this being Carl's middle
name. She says she has not heard
from him since ten days before his
arrival in Bluefeld, and it has al
ways been customary for her to re-
ceive letter from him at least once
a week.
Mr.. Simpson says he is doing
everything possible to keep the terri
BILE news from her, as he is sure it
will result seriously with her.
In addition to this letter one has
been received by Chief of Police here
from Carl Simpsons fiancee, who
lives in Kalamazoo, Mich, in which
she asks to be kept advised of the de-
velopments in the case. 1t is said
Simpson was to have married within
three months.
No trace of the body has been
found yet, though search has been
made by the police department.
In letter to his mother, who lives
in this city, 30. Foster, one of the
three negroes charged with the MUIR
der, is said to have written that he
was with Jim Peery and Will Harvey
on the fatal night, and says they at
tackled Simpson.
Foster, it will be remembered, con-
fessed to the local police that he had
seen Will Harvey bend over the pros
trate form of Simpson, after the vic
tim had been felled by rock, listen
ing to see if his heart was beating.
Peery also made this confession,
pointing directly against any theory
that Simpson has not been murdered.

Tazewell's crack baseball team
team laid it on Bluefeld last Friday
and Saturday in two of the prettiets
games seen in that city for several
years, according to the Bluefield pa
pers. Bluefeld couldn't measure up
to the requirements at all, and were
outclassed by Tazewell's aggregation
of stars in every particular. The
Tazewell team is developing wonder
full winning abilities, and it would
occasion no surprise if Tazewell
would apply for entrance in the Vir-
ginia league in the near future.

while editor of the Norton Daily
Press and general newspaper promo

day. A statement of the account and
transactions of the gentleman with a
Richmond printers supply house
shows that he paid 500 on new ma
chinery and material purchased in
stead of So, 100 as shown by re-
ceipt he exhibited to a number of
Norton business men. The receipt
grew from one hundred to two thou
sand one hundred on its way from
Richmond to Norton, supposed to be
by the permission of King himself,
who found it convenient and easy to
write twenty before the one and
slip the figure "2" to the left of the
figure 81" The statement shows
that the amount of the purchase was
a little more than $500, the balance

NORTON EDITOR
is IN TROUBLE

A special dispatch from Norton
asys: Nv. E. King, promoter of the
proposed Norton daily paper, who is
supposed to be operating under an as
sumed name, was taken to the Wise
Jail Saturday night, following his ar
rest bere Saturday afternoon by Sher-
lift Kiser on charge of forgery COM
mitted in Utah and Texas. The man
bad hearing Monday at Wise before
a Justice OF the Peace and was re.
committed to Jail awaiting identified
ton.
Kings wife, neatly dressed and
intelligent woman, arrived on the
Norfolk and Western last night from
Chicago and went Immediately to
Wise, where she claims her husband
is being held without cause.
King, who is man about forty
five years of age, of good appearance
and intelligent, says that he will es-
tablish his innocence and return to
Norton to assume his duties as editor
of daily paper.
The Norton board of trade sent out
kilograms Monday which ought to
clear the matter up soon. If guilty.
the board of trade is very anxious to
find it out; but if innocent, every
effort will be made to protect him.
Kings demeanor is rather favorable
to himself except that those who have
kept up with the matter think that
he has been slow to use the facilities
open to him by which his identity
could be established and his inno-
cence proven.

A CHRISTMAS GREETING

MacauIay is responsible for the
statement that the beautiful British
Isles where the first to have been dis
covered by the Caesars and were first
to have been flung away. Florida can
be likened unto those beautiful isles,
She was early discovered and early
flung aside. But she is being redis-
covered and like the stone the build
ers rejected seems likely to become
the "chief stone of the corner.
Tourists, travellers and homeseek-
ers all unite in saying that the South
is now the country of destiny and no
portion of the South is so attractive
as our own fair state.
1t is the Editors devout wish that
the South will 60 on prospecting and
to prosper and that the new corners y
and "old timers" alike will share in
the blessings that this prosperity dis
penses. Hon. Frank Harris, of the
Ocala Banner
