Rev. A. M. Doss was down from
Dalton Friday and stated to a Star

Thanksgiving day IN very fitting
manner by having religious services
conducted at the hall. A fine din

Any kind of exercise which will
stretch and use the muscles of the
body which have been allowed to
grow habby and weak under the
burden of flesh will help keep one
thin. Whatever you call it physi
cal culture, or housework with an
aesthetic purpose, doesn't matter,
but you have to stick to it if you
want results, for you didn't grow
fat in a day and you can't get thin
without working at it hard.-Mar'

Decline of Great Families

The claim of royal decent by
some Americans calls attention to
the singular decay of pnce great
and powerful royal faJilles. No
race in Europe surpassed the Plan
taganets IN royal position and per-
sonal achievements and yet lin 1887
the great.great grandson of Mar
garet Plantaganet, daughter and
heiress of George, Duke of Clarence,
was a shoe maker In Newport,
England, and as recently as thirty
years ago a lineal defendant of
Edward III was sexton of Lon.
don parish church.
Within century after the death
of Oliver Cromwell his great'great
grandson, the last male heir, was a
London attorney. While these
cases show a decline in official and
social position they do not necessarily
show decline in moral worth or
mental power. A shoemaker, or
sexton, or lawyer may in this re-
spect be the peer of the most dis
tinguished of such families.

Rachelder says the agreement is un-

but square dear and equal pro-
lection To all classes and interests"
The letter says: You attempted 10
defend the continuance of the high
tariff for manufacturers along with
free trade for farmers. by claiming
il is the workers who furnish the
farmers CHIEF market. You are SIM

manufacturers. claiming what is ex-
actly the reverse of the actual condi-
tions.
1T is on the prosperity Of the far

workers-depends The sole question
before the American people is shall
we have free trade for all farm pro-
ducts and high protection for manu-
featured articles?
You know that the price of farm
land is much lower in Canada than
in the United States You know that
the Canadian farmer buys manufac-
tured articles cheaper because of tar
III duties on foreign goods here. Yet,
knowing this, YOU would strike down
the very moderate tariff, averaging
IS per cent which our farmers now
receive without giving them the ben
eft of any real reduction in the
duties on manufactures.
We can only conclude that you
have been deceived by the special in
terests which have cunningly plotted
10 allay the country wide ciamor for
an honest revision Of the tariff. by
making the farmer a scapegoat for
the sins of the high protection sys-
tenn.
DO you not know that the Steel
trust sold last year in Canada more
than 100000 pounds of wire and that
we bought no wire from Canada
Do you not know that Canada pro-
duced practically no wire and with
the duty on wire abolished We would
not import one pound?
You refer to the advantages 10 our
