satin from bust to ankle is, to say the

revival, of the season is the evening

THE END OF THE WORLD

stroying all life by reason of stupen-
dous climatic changes, and afteward
vaporizing every atom of it, as the
result of a collision with some celes-
tial tramp that shall wander into our
solar system.
Others say the earth's destiny is
written plainly in the heavens. We
shall become precisely as the moon
is now. Without water, without at
mosphere, it revolves around us, 81
lent and cold, an abandoned ceme-
terry, a deaths head at the feast.
Still others believe that long be-
fore these extremes of temperature
are reached man will have become
extinct. Long before one-half Of the
earth's surface shall have become a
desert of blistering, burning sand,
and the other half an arctic waste,
the last man shall have crept down
into the caverns Of the earth, seeking
the feeble internal heat Of an ex-
piring world. There he shall perish,
miserably of starvation, and the
earth shall fold him in her cold ar rs.
a fitting sepuIcher for the last man.
Even as old Mother Earth nourished
the first man in her bosom so shall
she receive in the end the last man,
the remnant of the proud race that
once built gigantic pyramids, carved
Wondrous statues, painted beautiful
pictures, wrote divine music, sung
glorious epics, and loved and hated.
But what Of the world itself? Even
as our earth started from the whirl-
ing grooves of time as a nebula so
shall it be resolved into nebula in
the end, after billions and billions of
years, repeating the never-ending
cycle of change, from nebula to sun,
from sun to planet, and back again to
the original fire-mist whence it came
in the far-off aeons of time.
And man, who reads these awful
messages from the sun-lit heavens,
what of him? Surely the mind that
projects itself into infinite space and
infinite time, compromising in a
measure the vastness of the creative
plan, is nobler and different from the
stuff from which worlds are made.
Surely the intellect that grasps these
profound immensities is destined to
survive the shock of time, and to en-
dure, forever and forever, some
where. Surely the soul, greatest OF
all creation, must live on and on for
ever.

CONTRIBUTORS TO TERRELL COUNTY EXHIBIT
FEATURES OF THE TER
RELL COUNTY EXHIBIT.

In the Terrell county exhibit
are seen some wonderful farm
products. A sample of oats is
shown from which a yield of
Ito bushels to the acre was OBJ
tanned, and another sample
from which the owner gather
ed 1912 bushels from 81
cres.
Corn is shown from a field
yet gathered which many
e ate will make $50 bushels
to- acre, and 200 bushels are
said e a certainty. Another
sample is from field yielding
l41 bushels to the acre, which
has been gathered.
Wheat is also shown yield
ing thirty-two bushels to the
acre, and blue-stem wheat
yielding SIS bushels.
There is a very fine exhibit
OF pecans, both budded and
seedlings, and of Spanish pea
nuts, some of them as large as
the big variety, with four to the
hull.
Wheat products are shown in
eight different grades, flour,
shorts, etc.
A pepper plant is shown nine
years old from which sufficient
to make three bottles of picked
peppers this season has been
gathered.
Many varieties of cotton seed
are shown, highly improved.
Also walnuts, rice, corn meal,
persimomns, etc, with a varie-
ty of canned goods, fruits and
jellies.
A sample of cotton is shown
from twenty acres from which
twenty-one bales have already
been gathered, and there is
much yet to gather.
Cotton seed products are
shown in seven varieties, in
Guiding oil, meal, hulls, etc.
Cotton is shown which has ma
tured since oats were gathered.
A bale Of cotton encased in
blue satteen with silvered ties
marks the record-breaker for
Dawson's cotton receipts on
Saturday, September 16. This
is the bale that broke the rec
ord. Dawson has already re-
ceived $4,000 bales this season.

VARIOUS ARE THE THEORIES
CONCERNING THE THRILLING
LAST CHAPTER.

Fair Meadows, Rugged Mountains
and Mighty Oceans All Must
Eventually Resolve Into the Cos
mic Dust.
What will be tn elast chapter in
the worlds history? There is sure
to be one for, like all other stories.
the romance of the world must come
to an end some time. Dust, life and
then the dust again is the unchange-
able order of the grand universe of
which our world is part, and the
law must be fulfilled. Earth's fair
meadows and rugged mountains,
murmuring streams and mighty
oceans-aIl must eventually resolve
into the cosmic dust. What thrilling
interest will that chapter contain?
The earth is old. Each day, each
year, each millennium adds another
wrinkle to it's SCARED face. Like
unto a flower it bloomed into the
beautiful world where the wondrous
mystery of life glorified it with it's
multltudinous forms. Like unto a
flower it must wither, it must fade,
and return to the primeval fire.
mist whence it was evolved.
1t is a curious fact that many sci
entists believe the last chapter in the
earth's history will be written by a
gigantic crystal movement, involving
the whole world in a stupendous
earthquake. They point to the re-
cent disasters in Messina and Cali
fornia, and claim that these local dis
turbances are but the forerunners of
worldwide cataclysm that one day
will destroy all life and splinter the
earth to fragments.
A curious notion, adopted by Mix
ola Tesla, is that the earth is doomed
to perish by fame produced by cur
rents of electricity. He AYERS that
"as the atmosphere is so fully charg-
ed with electricity the result will be
gigantic explosion by spontaneous
combustion, when the world will be
entirely encircled with flame which
in the space of a few seconds, will
destroy all life"
1t is quite likely, however, that the
extra terrestrial or astronomical
causes will be the ones that will give
our earth its final quietus; first de-
