Tribute to Mrs. Harman.

A simple tribute of love and respect
to my dear departed friend and cousin
Mrs. M. F. Harman.
On the eve of the 23d of May, 1911,
the summons came to our dear cousin
and lifelong devoted friend, Mrs. M.
F. Harman, to come up higher and en-
ter into that rest prepared for those
who have been faithful unto the end.
Knowing her from my chlldhooo,
and being intimately associated Win
her later in life, none knew her better
or loved her more.
Her strong, noble character was an
inspiration to all who came in touch
with her.
She is too well known to the people
of Lexington, especially the older citi'
zens, for me to attempt to relate the
many acts of charity and deeds of love
and kindness she did for others. She
was a woman of superior intellect and
a self-sacrifcing spirit. She was de-
voted to her family and friends, gen
erous almost to fault. To the calls
of her church she was ever ready to
respond with willing hands and heart,
giving of her means and labor. Her
faith in God was firm to the last, al
ways willing to bow in humble to Him
who dceth all things well.
For several years she was a great
| sufferer, bnt was always cheerful. Be-
| reft of every member of her immedl'
ate family, through misfortune, SICK
ness and death. she fought each battle
of life bravely ard now she wears .he
victor's crown, living the eteral life
with her Savior, her God.
Her work is finished, her chair IS va
cant, but she lives on in sweetest
memories of one who loved her and
who will miss her.

LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That It Will Last Only Six
Thousand Years.

Thousand Years.
There Is a general and widespread
notion, which the curious Investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 5000 years from
the date of its creation. An inscrip-
ton in one of Martin Luther's books
reads as follows: "Elijah, the prophet.
said that the world had existed 1000
years before the law was given (from
Adam to Moses), would exist 1000
years under the Mosaic law (from
Moses to Christi and 1900 years under
the Christian dispensation. and then it
would be burned"
In the Etrurian account Of the crea.
ton (by Suidas) there is a similar tra-
dition, 1.-The Creator spent 5000 years
in creation, and 5000 more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition of Foxes
"Acts and Monuments" 1892 there
Is whole sermon given with the
6,OOO year limit of the earth's duration
as text.
Some writer's contend that the "six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the "sev'
enth day" Is type Of the coming mil
lennium, or sabbath Of a thousand
years." The psalmist says, "For~ a
thousand years are in thy sight as yes
terday" psalm &c, 4. See also II Peter

Rubber Story Denied.
J.P. LOOMS, a director of the Good
year Tire and Rubber COMPANY of Ak
ron, Ohio, stated in an interview that
there was absolutely no truth in the
report that this company is to invest
in MindanaO rubber plantations, ana
he was at loss to know how such a
report was published and where it
came from.
About a year ago his company sent
funds to the islands to be invested
in such an enterprise, but the money
was in some way misplaced, and in
view of this unfortunate occurrence,
the Goodyear people, under the direc-
ton of Mr. Loomis, have decided not
to invest in the islands for the present.

ering and bull support, which was in
spired by the census figures showing H.
269, 600 bales ginned to November a.
when the trade had been looking for
about II 100000 bales. Active positions
sold IL to IA points net higher after the
call, but offerings were heavy on the ad-
vance with the south seller here The
market soon ea9ed off, and during the
middle of the morning ruled about to
s points net higher, with December rela-
lively easy.
Trading continued active late in the
forenoon. but orders were well divided
and prices made little Roadway either
way, with the market at midday about
g to 6 points net higher Heavy southern
selling on the early advance seemed to
confirm bearish views as to the cause of
the comparatively small ginning returns.
but there was enough demand to impart
a steady undertone to the market and 1t
is now felt that there will be continued
divergence of private crop estimates
pending the publication Of the next census

to December 1.
