In the excitement of more recent
events, the general public may have
overlooked the fact that another Of the
numbering gang of Virginia mountain
GERS, who shot up the Carroll county
court, has been brought to justice, being
sentenced to fifteen years Imprisonment.
Now, if we are not called upon to elect
the prosecuting attorney as president of
the United States, we can give him a
good measure of praise for doing his
duty successfully. He has done very
well, indeed, and his activity is going far
toward wiping out the lawless spirit
which pervades the mountains of the
middle South.

should lend weight to the demand for
lessened speed in order to insure greater
safety. An hour or TIVE increase in
schedule would not serve TO bring great
disadvantage except in scattered cases,
and it would reduce the possibilities for
accidents many-fold. This train main
tains speed of about a mile a minute,
and when running late will make sew
enty miles an hour. That is too fast,
even for these swift times, unless some
mechanism can be devised to keep the
trains on the iron. Until such invention
shall have been discovered, it is the sane
course to pursue to decrease the miles
per hour of the whirlwind train.

Oddly Shaped Spiders.

The most peculiar spiders In the
world as well as the largest ones in
habit the island of Sumatra. They are
of all conceivable forms and colors, and
some Of them spin threads almost as
large and strong as the grocer's twine.
Some queerly shaped spiders have
square bodies poised on long red legs.
and others have crooked green and yell
low legs which support heart shaped
bodies. One of the very oldest Of the
lot has body that looks like that Of
young turtle. the ''shell'' having
round knobs and pear shaped projec-
lions all over It.

1t speaks we'll for Charles D. Watson,
fcrmer city representative and former
candidate for governor of Vermont, that
the Republicans of st. Adams have seen
fit to endorse him, Democrat, for the
Office Of city representative for the next
two years. 1t cannot be that the Re.
publicans of st. Adams anticipate that
the governorship election will be thrown
into the legislature, else they would not
have been willing to sacrifice one vote

That agriculture is coming to its own
is indicated by such efforts as that put
forth by Gov. Mann of Virginia, who
called the farmers of his state together
in special county conventions to encour-
age them to grow more grass and alfalfa,
The final intent was the raising OF more
stock, as there had been much deteriora.

line is to fill up the farms, which, We
can assert, is being done as rapidly as
possible.

For the Christian Endeavorer..

Mrs. W. X. Wright extended
her gracious hospitality to the SEN
ior Christian Endeavor society
last Friday eveLing at the manse.
1t was a thoroughly delightful
party and enjoyed every moment
by every guest The majority ap-
peared in advertising costumes
which, familiar as they seemed,
proved to be far from easy to iden.
tify correctly. Elithe McMurtry
was the most successful guesser
and later. Marie Irwin and Sidney
Townsley carried of the honor of
having evolved the most sensa.
tional story from nursery rhyme.
Between the general good time
and the refreshments the party
neglected to depart until quite late
indeed, and their only defence is
that the proof of the party is in
the staying.
