THE homely girl is a line girl.

TVHE homely girl is line girl
 By homely I mean plain of feature A in contrast with the pretty girl. pricious and exacting, demanding more than she is willing to give-"uncertain, coy and hard to please.' The honely girl is apt to be sympathetic and kindly.
 The homely girl knows she cannot win by. the arts of coquetry and therefore cul- tivates simplicity and graciousness. She is genuine, congenial, thoughtful of others, qualities that are likely to win over mere prettiness.
 Beauty is only skin deep" Gracious ness is soul deep. Men may admire the handsome girl; they dote on the handsome ways of rhe homely girl.
 its impression for the moment Is the homely girls desire to please or help or forgive, her sense of sympathy, her hearty manner of comradery
 The homely girl makes an ideal sweet heart.
 She uses no special arts to beguile. She offers herself for what she is She does not f1rt. She is stanch and dependable. She is not difficult to please She is a safe counselor and will keep your secrets.
 The homely girl makes a good wife.
 When she is called upon to meet the test of wifehood and motherhood she will take up her task cheerfully. Unlike the handsome wife. who may indulge in sighs for romance situations or who may com plain that she is not understood" the homely woman looks her duties fairly in the face without fuss and without non sense.
 The homey wife looks out for no con- quests abroad, but glories in her home. She wraps her soul like a mantle about her husband and her children.
 The handsome wife may have the weak ness of vanity and because of her desire to be admired may sometimes stumble. even fall Danger goes with beauty.
 All hail the homely girl and woman! She may not be beautiful in face and f1g- ure, but she grows more beautiful in mind and heart as the days go by
 The heart of her lover and her husband may safely confde in her.
 The homely girl is fine girl.
 Do not shout in the ear of your horse
 A scientist tells us the ear of a horse IS extremely sensitive. If you yell at him you spoil the animal.
 Which is good sense.
 If you shout in harsh loud tone at the horse he will come to look for such an outburst from you, and he will make an extra effort of strength only when yod make an extra effort with your voice.
 The low tone, spoken positively nus kindly, is sufficient.
 You may make of your horse an intelli- gent, faithful ally or sullen, sensitive brute. You can make him your partner , or your slave .tf

This rate of increase in a few states, we are glad to note, has not been main- tained, and in one or two, for the higher crimes. 1t has even decreased a trife; but, upon the whole, the swell has been con- tinuous like a tide that has no ebh.
 His treatment of crime, and more espe- cially his exhaustive handling of the woman offender, is too vast for discussion

In these columns for the office oil
County Surveyor. He has only one
regularly recognized opponent, that
is J. NJ. Ayera and the contest un-
doubtedly lies betwiXt these two
young men, and they are not so
young either as each are men OF fam
lies. Albert dwells with the grand
parents of his wife, Mr. and Mrs a.
G. Naples, looking after the farm for
Mr.. Alb who has reached that age as
to circumscrioe his activity in that
line.
Albert is the second oldest son of
Henry Brown of the Lover End of
Greene. He tells us that off and on
for the last four years he has done
surveying under Mr.. Alb Naples who
is an old eX-surveyor and who served
about four terms before retiring.
Albert has handled the compass
himself and done surveying. He has
also had the advantage of the books
of Naples.
He is twenty three years old and a
polite young fellow who seems to be
ANXIOUS to secure the job to better
himself in this world. With these
few references to his life and aims
we commit his case to those whose
duty it will be to pass upon it in the
August Primaries.

he rode pretty we'll all over the Wade

the bovines and that that country is
practically solid for Vardaman and
Bilbo, which only confirms what we
have been being told all along by
prominent citizens from up there as
as to the sentiment. Those people
up there are decisive about their po-
litcal choices and rightly so.
Mr.. Harrison has relieved the sit

Excerpt from his speech by having
mailed it in full to a large per cent

sufficient for Pat to put one in the

Possibly after the Election we may
find space to redeem our promise for
partial reproduction of that speech
