Vances, Nov. Special: 1t seems
that the men who made out the pre-
MUM list for the County Fair left
out oats completely, which is one of
our main crops. Nor have they pro-
vided premium for twin stock.
There is no inducement for Mr.. w.
n. Mcorer to exhibit his. one year
old twin mules nor his oats. He
made over ninety-one bushels to the
acre on three and oneIhalf acres. He
had a field of seven and a half acres
of the same kind. One of the head
men of the fair asked Mr.. Moorer to
be sure to exhibit his mules. He said
he would see that there was a pre-
MUM provided fer that kind OF
stock. It would not pay him to take
them to the fair just for people to
see.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

Our eyes are thick for slumber and
our brains are tired and stale;
Nerves we have none to speak of, yet
we never dare to fail.
There are always cries for "copy,"
and they never cry in vain,
For the Press. need is cruel and
r!eeks mot of our pain.
Through the endless summer evening
when we should be with our
q. wives,
We are endlessly recording all the
tales of other lives.
We recount the deeds of heroes;
there are new ones every day;
Or are reveling in scandal for-about
teamster's pay.
We greet the new-edged statesman
self-important, green, elate;
We warn the politicians what to dc
to save the state;
VIC Clluh Eldo5CS Will EOOu lCllOWS
yet we've got to keep our head
For the scandals of the living and the
virtues Of the dead.
There are some that seem to envy the
positions that we hold,
To think that our typewriters are like
pens of beaten gold;
For we still keep happy faces
though our homes We seldom
see,
And the smiles Of wife and children
are denied to such as We.
But guess we'll keep on going; take
assignments; do the work;
We may loaf, or drink or gamble;
but our tasks we may not shlrk;
For it's in our blood-the fever-and
we die off one by one
But the Press goes on forever, for its
work is never done.

THE GAME.

She plays her game with ready
hand,
And a steady hand and true;
She marked her man
When the game began
And she knows him through and
through.
Nothing to gain and nothing to lose,
And nothing to choose or care!
A kiss for the stakes,
And if his heart breaks
She is only playing fair.
A smile, a rose, and maddened fool,
A saddened fool-and wise'
And the woman won!
The game is done
Dear God! the look in her eyes!
But ah! Time ere the woman would
Ere the woman could, and now
She owes her skill
To the careless will
Of the man who taught her how.

PRAISE THE LORD.
For His Many Mercies and Blessings

President Taft on Monday issued
his annual Thanksgiving proclama-
tion, calling upon citizens of the
United States to celebrate Thursday,
the 30th day Of November, next, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer. The
proclamation reads as follows:
"The people of this land, having by
long sanction and practice set apart,
toward the close Of each passing
year, day on which to cease from
their labors and assemble for the pur-
pose Of giving praise to Him who is
the author OF the blessings they have
enjoyed, it is my duty as chief execu-
tive to designate at this time the day
for the fulfllment of this devout pur-
pose.
Blessings.
"Our country has been signally ia
vored in many ways, The round of
the seasons has brought rich harvest.
Our Industries have thriven far be-
yond our domestic needs, the pro-
ducts of our labor are daily finding
enlarged markets abroad. We have
been free from the curses Of pesti-
lence, of famine and Of war. Our
national counsels have furthered the
cause of peace in other lands and the
spirit of benevolence has brought us
into closer touch with other peoples,
to the Strengthening Of the bonds Of
fellowship and good will that link
US to the comrades in the universal
brotherhood of nations. Strong in
the sense Of our own right and in
spired by as strong a sense of the
rights Of others, we live in peace
and harmony with the world. Rich
in the priceless possessions and abun-
dant resources wherewith the un-
stinted bounty of God has endowed
us, we are unselfishly glad when 9TH
er peoples pass onward to prosperity
and peace. That the great privilege
we enjoy may continue and that each
coming year may see our country
more firmly established in the regard
and esteem Of our fellow nations is
the prayer that should arise in every
thankful heart.
Wherefore, I, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States
of America, designate Thursday, the
30th of November, as day of
Thanksgiving and prayer and I earn
estly call upon my countrymen and
upon all that dwell under the flag of
eur beloved country then to meet in
their accustomed places of worship to
join in Offering praise to Almighty
God and deyout thanks for the loving
mercies he has given to u.s."
