WHAT FARMER DID WITH COW
AND TEN CHIUkENS

Carl A. Solberg, a N 1Kinley town
ship farmer, was a caller at our sane
tum Saturday 70 advertise a COW rol
sale, a fine animal four years old,
that is probably giving milk ut the
rate Of 5000 pounds a year. He ex-
planned that he would not have stable
room enough so had to dispose of
one. She's a good COW, will fetch a
good price, but is worth it, He will
have eight good mich COWS by fall.
II have made more clear money
from my little herd of cows" he ex-
planned. than I have from my two
quarters Of land. When I started
farming ten years ago in Ward coun-
ty, I had but one COW and ten chick
ems and can say that these Furnished
the living for myself and wife the
first year. I guess we would have
starved the past two years had it not
been for our COWS and Chickens

some stories that were better than
the twc.sided circle story. Mr.. Da-
vid j. Shorb then made toast
to the school board, and after his re.
marks on his Prof. Kid Brother his
humorous stories seemed endless. He
thanked the school board for their
excellent work in behalf Of the school.
He described some of their knocks
and offered remedy, also a cure, for
them. A. Fl. S. Prof. was walking
down the street looking up at the blue
sky when he came in contact with
banana peeling, and before he was
done with it he had three sore spots.
The professor of mathematics came
up and offered remedy. He safd to
toin the three spots with street lines,
erect perpendicular bisectors to these
three lines and at their point of in
tersection to drop plumb line to the
earth. If he would always keep his
legs parallel to the line he would
never have another sore spot. Re.
Spouse was made to this humorous
talk by Mr.. E. Fl. Ray, and he sue
ceeded in raising still higher the
ideals of tn student body. Mr. wal
ter GOrden then arose and made q
'fBut-in-ski' speech, as he called if
He toasted the alumni, thanking hem
for their interest in the entertainment
and praising them for their ready wit.
After the toast program, the GUESTS
were entertained with Music, etc.

MRS. KATE M. SMITH IS DEAD.

The Chronicle Call of May 10th.
contains the intelligence that Mrs.
Kate NJ. Srith died in Chicago, H.,
on Monday April 20, 1912, and was
buried in Citronelle Wednesday of
the same week from the Presbyter-
ian church in the Methodist celne-
terry.
AS this lady and her husband
taught the Vernal Presbyterian High
School just prior to and during the
first days of the Civil War, we clip
the following portion of her death
notice from the above named paper:
'But few if any were more promi-
nently connected with the early his
tory of Chronicle than Mrs. Smith.
She first came here many years ago
in company with her husband, Prof.
Smith, and they together conducted
a school west of Chronicle, just over in
the state of Mississippi. Mrs. Smith
loved to recall those days and altho
there was much of hardship in them,
she forgot that for the most part and
and true to her disposition, remem-
bered the humorous and the happy.
Later she moved to Chronicle and
built the three houses which to this
day are known as Smith Haven,
aud where she lived until she went
to Chicago few years since to spend
the remainder of her days upon earth
with her daughter, Mrs. Dummer.
Mrs. Smith was a remarkable woman
in many ways. Her talent was di-
rected largely along musical and ed
ucational lines and her energy sim
ply knew no bounds. If we recall
Alright, when she was more than
eighty years of age she used to walk
from Smith Haven into Chronicle
and give music lessons to a few, ard
her musical recitaIs are still remem-
bered with pleasure here. The inn
print of her personality in musical
way will be felt for a long time in
Citronelle. =

Mrs. JANE McSWAIN.

Grim merciless death has appeared
| in the home OF Mr.. Malcolm McSwain,
and snatched from his companion
ship, his beloved wife, Mrs. Jane
McSwain.
She was horned Feb. %, 1886 and
died at her home in McLain, May II,

She leaves a husband, three chill
dren and host Of friends and rela-
tlves to mourn her loss. = The sky
seems hung with black and sombre
cloud curtains. Our vision is DER
cast with the gloom of sorrow. With
out her presence the world seems
empty and cheerless To Us, and in
our heart there isa dreary, dismal.
aching void.
The only Consolation to Us is the
sweet realization Of the fact that our
beloved is at peace The one upon
whom we have lauished cur affection
is now in that land Where the wea-
ry are at rest. " Our heart S idol has
heard the words from the Fathers
lips, We'll done thou good and faith
full servant, enter thou into the joys
of the Lord .
The poor worn frame will never
more be racked with the agonies of
pain. Suffering is at an end. But
twill only be little while until we
will cross the dark river and join our
dear one among~the hosts of the
saved on the other shore.
Farewell dear grandmother sweet thy rest.
Weary with years and worn with pain,
Farewell till in some happy place.
We shall behold thy face again
'Tis ours to miss thee all our years,
And tender memories OF the keep
Thine in the Lord to rest. for SO,
He giyeth His beloved sleep

w. E. Bearry has recently had his
home screened throughout against
the inroads of the pesky fly and skee-
ter. Wenote approvingly each move
made in our town to ward off these
menaces to the health of a family.
Screening represents several dollars,
but the entire cost will probably not
exceed the expense of spell of chills
and fever or a severe attack of bowel
complaint, upon just one member of
a household. to say nothing of how
much it would be multiplied by the
cost and anxiety Of a case Of Typhoid
fever, anyone and all Of which are in
the likely element of hazard where
flies and skeeters can go in and out

is teaching us much, and its almost
criminal if not sinful negligence to
not act in the face of revealed light.

Prompt Work Needed For Damaged Roads

Since the abnormal heavy rainy
conditions which have Involved this
section this Spring. the roads Of
Greene county both good and bad
have suffered much, as the material
out OF which we have been building
roads here, is subject to washing IN
der such tremendous quantities of
water. The question is being dis
cussed about in several spots over
the county, as to whether the Board
of Supervisors has shown itself as
quick to adapt the Road working
policy to local conditions by inter
rupting the regularly planned system
and throwing the several crews a
round on the worst damaged pieces
of road to make them fairly passable.
until they can all be reached in their
regular order. Such is demanded
now, but as the writer hash t ridden
out over the county we are unable to
state whether this criticism is we'll ia
ken or is merely impatient knocking
rogrowling. However, we trust if the
Board has been backward in giving
such temporary relief that they win
hearken to the popular cry and do so
without further delay, for as every
body oyer the county is paying road
taxes both Communication and advalo
rem, after such destruction to their
roads, some prompt repairs are their
just privileges. After such has been
given, the usual method of putting
up good stretches at that time, can
be returned to in the matter Of the
ordinary settled policy of road work
