To Keep Flies Off Cattle.

Two of tho most satisfactory pre-
parstions to keep horn flies from
cattle are: (1) A mixture of two
parts of crude cotton seed oil and
one part of pine tar. This should
be applied to tho animals with
large paint brush. 1t can be done
best at milking time, if dairy cat
tie are to be treated. Fish oil may
be used instsads of tho cotton seed
oil. Ono application will last about
five days. (2) Another prepare
ton that is applied in tho same
manner as tho tar and oil is made
a. follows: One ounce of crude
csrbolic acid, thres-quarters ounce
of pennyroyal, one-quarter pound
of sulphur and one gallon of crude
cotton-seed oil - Mississippi Ex-

with evidence, which although care
fully gathered and presented, was
wholly circumstantial. The defen.

LAW ABOUT PROMISSORY NOTES.

A promissory pote may he made by
one or more persons, firms or corpora
tions, payable to one or more persons,
firms or corporations. The party who
makes note is called the maker, and
the party to whom it is made payable
is called the payee.
A promissory note is certain pro.
mise in writing, signed by the maker,
to pay specified sum of money to the
payee at certain time. 1t may be
made payable to the payee only, or to
the payee or bearer, or order. Where
a note is made payable to the payee
only, without using the words, ''or
ORDER" "or bearer" or woros of SIM
liar import, the note is not negotiable
note, and if the holder wishes to trans
fer it he should do 50 by assignment, as
title to Ii non-negotiable note does not
pass by endorsement only. When a
note is made payable to the payee or
order or to the payee or bearer, it is
what is called n negotiable note, and
the holder may transfer title to it by
endorsement and delivery-that is, by
writing his name on the back of the
note and delivering it to the endorsee,
after which the title of the note will
pass from holder to holder by mere
delivery without any further endorse
mentor any holder may endorse it
when he transfers it. When the hold
er of a negotiable promissory note
transfers it before it is due, by endors-
ing his name thereon, he becomes
liable to pay it in case the maker and
prior endorsers fail to do so; but an
endorser may avoid such liability by
writing after his name when endorsing
the words, without recourse" or
words of similar meaning A promis-
sorry note in the form following would
be negotiable and valid everywhere:
Aurora, H., Jan. |, 1912.
$500.
For value received, we, or either of
us, promise to pay to John Doe or
order, on or before the first day of
June, 1912. the sum of five hundred
dollars, with interest thereon at the
rate of & per cent per annum from date.
Richard Roe
Samuel Poe
To constitute a good note the prom
Use to pay must be unconditional. If
the promise is to pay upon the happen
ing of some uncertain event, it will
deprive the instrument of its charac-
ter as prommissory note. The time
of payment must be certain, or at
least so stated that it can be made
certain.
A written promise to pay money out
of some particular fund is not prom
ssory note. The amount of money to
be paid must be certain, or so stated
that it can be made certain Upon
paying note, the payer should de-
mand the surrender of the note, and
refuse to hand over the money unless
the note be delivered 20 him at the

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

JOHN TYLER DEAD. D.-Ex-President
John Tyler, of Virginia, died at Rich
mond, on Friday night, the 10Th inst.
Previous dispatches informed us of his
serious illness.
Few men now living have seen more
years of public life than John Tyler.
In his native state, the Old Dominion,
he was always esteemed, both for his
honesty and ability. For many years
he represented that state in Congress,
and always ably. He was vice presi-
dent from March 4 to April 4, 1S41,
and president from the latter date to
1S45. In his political convictions a
democrat from his boyhood, he failed
as chief magistrate to approve the
policy of the political organization
which elected him, and as reward
for his consistency was left without a
party and almost without friends.
The politicians who could not use him,
cursed him, and the democracy whom
his name had helped to defeat, were
slow to do him the justice which his
upright and independent action merit
ed. But he saved the country from
the dominion of second monster bank,
and from the evils of an unlimited
amount of class legislation, and for
these things posterity will be grateful
to him and history praise him. When
the black cloud of sectionalism first
appeared in the political horizon, he
was first to warn his countrymen of
the approaching danger, and to the
limit of his influence, he exorted himself
to avert the coming storm. He was
last to appeal at Washington for
measures of conciliation-- was
among the last in the Virginia Con-
vention to plead for the union, and
yielded to the popular current only
when resistance was of no avail. With
all his weakness and follies-t though
dying with the black brand of seces-
sionism upon his name-John Tyler
had many virtues when living, and
deserves much of eulogy now that he
is dead.

The Pilot Office has for years had
bible which gave signs of frequent
use. 1t was plain honest looking
bible but it was all there. How it
came to the Office no one knows But
lately it departed fully as mysteriously
as it came and the place which knew
it once now know it no more. There
is well formed suspicion in the mind
OF everyone in the Office that Sanford
stole it. He had no bible of his own
and he could not trust to his knowledge
Of the genuine article to purchase one
and not have palmed off on him the
Arabian Nights or Jack the Giant
Killer. He wants to make some
scriptural quotations and it would
never do to Jug in something about
Aladdin and his lamp as good orthodox
utterances. He knew the Pilot office
had no spurious article and so he froze
on to It, Pretty soon he will publish
chapter from the old testament and
palm it off as original matter believing
that every person is as lacking In ia.
miliarity with the scriptures as he
is.
