They bought 6 head from z. X. Thur
man, of Atlanta, for $1,000. Recently
they sold one of the SIX TO George
Lee, Of Mexico. Mo-, for $3.50. The
animal had been trained and deyel-
oped by Tom Chandler until 1t was
of the fanciest saddlers in the
west. And now 1t has Just been
sold again to a Canada buyer for
$500. Mr.. Chandler says he bought
the animal with a bunch of others
and they cost him $166 around.-Co-

Uncle Eli Sutton says this is the
mildest winter since 1SS1-1SS2. That
year he says the ground neye froze
and it was muddy all winter. Mr.. Sut

middle of February, the ground being
too soft to pull a load out Of the
field.-Vandalia Leader.

The United States is m~obilizing
10000 troops m the Mexican border
and four battIeships are ~patrolling tn
coast 1t looks very much as if
something was doing.
sAl reports say that che outlook
for a cessation of attacks by the in
surgents is very discouraging and for
eign investment is receiving little pro
lection at the hands of President Dia
His troops seem unable to cope with
the ~insurrectOs.
The lesson OF resurrection, how
ever, has not been lost upon the Di.
az administration. II is certain that
some concessions will be made and
that others will be promised. It is
hardly taken for granted by those
familiar with affairs in Mexico City
that within a short time Ramon Cor

This will satisfy hundreds of thous-

George McLCneyis Curtis biplane is
almost completed and on April 2, it
will be placed ON exhibition in a

he has really spent the past five
months in constructing a flying ma
chine that is carrying and will
soar like a bird.
This machine is the first machine
Of ITS character built i'm Central Mis-
souri, Mr., McLoney has been at
work five months building the biplan
and has wasted no time or expense
in making it durable and strong, al
though light. The engine and propel.
Ter, the last costing $50, will be here
next week and be installed immedi-
ately. The cloth for the planes Is be-
ing treated with a special preparation
and will be placed on the machine
this week.
The machine has most of the lat
est Curtis improvements upon 1t and
all who have been fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse OF the biplane are
loud in their praise OF the fine work

Mr.. McLoney, who visits Klnlock

Of never having been in a serious

Dear old friend:--
1t affords me considerable pleas
ureVo write you, from the place you
love so well, where smiling spring
her earliest rays impart," and life
seems one sweet dream. The world
goes merrily on and everybody seems
happy here-oranges grape fruit and
vegetables fresh from the orchard
and the gardens are In abundance.
Until one has picked an orange from
the tree and eaten II, he does not
know what a good orange is. Grape
fruit tastes better when first picked.
|Tangerines are sweeter and better
than all other fruits, and yield abund-
antly here.
We had a nice fish fry yesterday
and a good country dinner to-day and
maybe you think we didn't enjoy It.
We saw the finest land a CROW ever
flew over to-day; the way fruit and
vegetables grow here is wonderful.
You can see from this letter that
we are not now stopping at the
Royal Pinciana, but we were over to
1t yesterday and last evening again,
and went out ON the beach and heard
the cea roar, saw the pillows
break as the tide came. We are
much infatuated with the climate
and the country.

CORN SHOW WILL
 OPEN NEXT MONTH

Atlanta, November 19-The largest corn exhibition ever witnessed in the south is expected to greet the eyes of visitors who attend the Southern Corn show here December 5 to 8. under the auspices of the Atlanta chamber of commerce.
 A special feature of the show will be competition for sweepstake prizes by the boys corn clubs of Georgia, Mis- sissippi, Florida, North Carolina, Ala bama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennes- see.

 The women of Atlanta are taking an in- terest in the show and are preparing to entertain a thousand members of va rious corn clubs who will be selected by county commissioners as delegates to the event.
 Among those on the programme for addresses are Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio and pr. A. M. Soule of the Uni versity of Georgia The latter will speak on Educational Influence of Corn Clubs.'
 Each day of the show demonstrations of the growing of corn, including prepa- ration of the soil, selection of seed. fer tilzing, planting and harvesting will be given.

TECH NOW HAS NEW
 STUDENT HOSPITAL

Atlanta, November 19.--( Especial. .)-The new hospital building at the Georgia School of Technology was finally opened this week for the use of student pa tients, and will be found of particular value, especially to students from points outside of Atlanta and whose homes are not convenient for them to go to in case of accident or sickness.
 Techs hospital owes its existence to the death of Thomas Jordan, a student several years ago. Friends of Jordan mother, surprised to learn that Tech had no hospital facilities, took the matter up with the club women nf Georgia with the result that the hospital is now fin ished and ready for patients needing it's services. It is called the Joseph Brown Whitehead hospital as a tribute to the deceased husband of well known Att lanta woman who contributed generously to it's erection. The same movement which secured this hospital for Tech is being extended with a view to placing hospital facilities at other educational in- sttutions in the state.
 The building, two stories high, built of brick, was designed by Professor Frank of Techs department of architecture It is an attractive addition to Techs campus and contains every essential feature of the most modern and up to date hospital. Some of the rooms have already been endowed.

CHINESE DIRECTOR
 STUDYING FARMING

Washington, November 19.-Dr. Chang, director of the Chinese Agricultural Ex- pertinent station at Mukden, is in this country, studying American experimental agricultural methods, which he expects to be of great benefit to him in his work of encouraging Chinese to move from the densely settled parts of the Celestial em- pire to Manchuria, which is compara- lively thinly settled.
 He has consulted with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, pr. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, and other department officials, and was of fered whatever help this country can give in the way of furnishing informa- ton and seed supplies.
 Few people in this country probably realize" Dr. Chang said, that Man. churia is no more thickly settled than large portions of your northwest and of Canada. It is capable of producing food for millions of people. We are beginning to introduce modern methods and machinery there and with further the country should develop
 into rich agricultural field.'
