DURNO DRAWS GOOD HOUSE
Third Number of Lecture Course Very
Pleasing

Magician" is no misnomer for
Durno, who appeared at the opera
house Wednesday evening as the third
number of the Lecture Course. Not
only could he perform with ease the
usual tricks of picking coins out of the
air, cause live fowls to appear from
unexpected places and bring fruit and
flowers to maturity in a second of time,
but he was also one of the best ven-
triloquists that has ever visited Lady
smith. The program was divided into
five parts, two parts being given by an
entertainer of considerable ability as
reader and musician.
The house was we'll filled and the
committee is to be congratulated upon
making so wise a selection to vary the
program Of lectures.

OFFICERS REELECTED
COUNTY TELEPHONE AND IN
sURANCE COMPANIES MEET
REPORTS SHOW GOOD BUSINESS
Telephone Stock Advanced to 100
and No More to be Issued--Divi-
dend Declared of z per cent

The second annual meeting of the
Rusk County Rural Telephone Co. was
held at the court house Wednesday
afternoon at / o'clock. Thir ,y-seven
stockholders were present, together
with sufficient proxies to represent
130 shares of the 205 shares issued.
The board of directors were reelected
as follows: G. B. Goocher, A. j. Laid
law and J. W.. Carow of Ladysmith,
Ben F. Faast OF Conrath and Joseph
Christman of Tony.
Secretary Laidlaw's report showed
that the receipts from tolls, rents etc.
for the year had been So, ,457. SO, out of
which had been paid $2,525 for con-
structlon and supplies for DO miles of
extension. The cost of maintenance
has been about 81, 200 There is an
outstanding indebtedness of 81, 500.
This company, which was organized
two years ago, is now operating over
1876 miles of lines including 40 miles of
toll line, extending in all directions
from Ladysmith, connecting with Con-
rath, Port Arthur, Sheldon and Hol-
combe on the south, Tony on the east
and Crane on the north. By arrange
ments with other telephone companies,
its patrons can have connections cover
ing vast territory. A large part Of
the credit for the rapid growth and
de, elopment of this service is due
to the efficient efforts of Secretary
Laidlaw, whose entire time is devoted
60 its management.
1t was voted at the meeting that no
more stock should be sold except the
directors deem it absolutely necessary,
and that after Feb. it be advanced
20 per cent above par. The company
is capitalized at $4,000, and $500 has |
been issued. A dividend Of z per cent
was declared, payable in May.
AS no large amount of construction
is contemplated by the company the
coming year, prospects are favorable
for it's cleaning up its indebtedness and
paying larger dividend out of this
years revenues.

Card from Dr.. Manley

The prompt and generous response
to the note in last weeks Gazette,
about the orphan child in the Jack
son Hospital, has more than justified
the confidence felt that her wants
would be fully supplied.
Besides $12O2 handed me from
the contributions to the Christmas
boxes in the News office and the
Peoples Bank, 1 have received in
sums varying from % cents to So,
$65. 96. Contributions have come
not only from our own town but two
of the largest received came from
Lynchburg and West Virginia. DR..
Davidson. who is attending the
child without charge, reports her
case as progressing favorably. and
We may hope for her ultimate recov-
cry. How long that will be cannot
be now told.
The amount to hand is of course
sufficient for present needs and may
prove enough till she RECEIVERS; but
even in that event, she will need
some supplies, as clothing, etc. If,
therefore, others will still contribute
they may be sure that the amounts
will be judiciOusly and properly
used for her benefit. On all who
have IN anyway shown interest il
this child. may Gods blessing rest

Christmas at House Mountain

Pleasure and interest in the
Christmas entertainment at House
Mountain this year was greatly en-
HANGED by the opening OF the new
building and goodly crowd was in
attendance on Wednesday, Dec.
18th, to enjoy with the regular school
the tree and treat provided for them.
Rev. DR.. Graham was present and
conducted the dedication service in
most happy form.
Many thanks are due to each and
every one who helped to provide
this comfortable building for the peo-
pie and work. 1t is not entirely fin
ishcd, but is in such condition that
1t can be used now for the work.
There is a debt for lumber etc.
amounting to about $4,000 and we
will need furniture and painting
still, but we are sure those who have
been so good to us in the past will
continue to help US out this year SO
that we may soon have our building
really finished and paid for. We
have checked out to date $3.50. 68, and
have a small balance with which to
settle for labor due which will leave
the treasury empty both in the gen.
eral fund and the building fund.

PLEA FOR "OLD BLACK JOE"
How William Alden Smith Induced Senate to Keep Aged Negro
 on It's Payroll.

There was something intensely human in the action of Senator Will liam Alden Smith urging the sen- ate to retain on its payroll the name of "Old Black Joe' Jones, the for mer bodyguard of President Jeffer- son Davis. Senator Smith made the air ring as throwing back his head he rolled out "Sirs" in the good old Patrick Henry fashion. ''Sir," he declared to the chair, "the south- erners have cared for their wounded and suffering, they have asked no pensions from the government against which they rebelled. With solicitude which we may well emu late, they have bound up their own wounds, nursed their own sick and dying and cared for their dead, re- built their devastated states and vol untarily burdened themselves that we might pension our heroes and house them in comfort in their de- clining years. I think it is little less than pusillanimous to object to a simple recognition for an aged negro"
 There was a rollcall, and by vote of 37 to IS "Old Joe" was re- tained on the payroll of the senate. One senator averred that the word "pusillanimous" carried the day for William Alden. But the senator from Michigan only smiled, and after the merry war he strolled down the senate corridor in front of the marble room whistling the refrain of "Old Black Joe" at lively tempo.

CAPACITY FOR LABOR.

By actual tests two horses weigh ing 1,600 pounds each can pull 3,'5o pounds, which is $50 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant weighing 12,00o pounds can pull S,;5o pounds, which is 3,25O pounds less than its weight. Fifty men, asgregating 7,5oo pounds in weight, can pull S,75o pounds, which is the score of the ele- phant. It will be observed that the men also pull more than their own weight.
