 It would seem almost trite to re- count what this young country owes to the German immigrant. And this debt is but a tittIe as to what, as debt was contracted long before we became country; yes, long before our ancestors left their homes be- yond the sea to seek liberty in a, new land.
 Yet this older debt is often for- gotten while we remember the newer one. the more immediate and more apparent debt which is ours to the last of the great emigrations to go out of the German nest.
 It is easy to turn back page or two in our history and to trace the newer German influence. From the Germans this nation reIearned the lesson of thrift. Amid the profusion of natural riches the American peo- pie had become prodigala andefprofii- gate They had forgotten the experi- ence of the human race. They were innbued with the foolish belief that through some dispensation the wealth nitely renewed. Land and money and time and the yield of the earth were criminally wasted.
 Then the German came. If the German character had been less firm ly knit, it would have disintegrated in such environment If the German had come alone, even his frmness might not have withstood the infiu- ence. But the German never travels alone He never did.
 When he first moved out of the Black forest and crossed the Rhine into sacred Roman territory he took his wife and children with him. When he crossed the. English channel and began his 300-year invasion of Britain, his first act after driving the Cynric from the coast was to build a house and blow a piece Of ground for frau and kinder When he hammered the Saracens to pieces at Tours and saved Europe for Christian ciyiliza- ton his women and little. ones were within bowshot in the ne1ghbor1ng thicket.
 INFLUX BEGINS.
 And when, in the first half of the nineteenth century, the great German immigration to America began, the German was true to his age-long hab- it. He brought his women with him.
 He transplanted to this nation the sturdiness which, under the pressure of old world conditions, had often been mistaken for stolidness. He amazed his new neighborS by persist ent industry, by magic power Of turn ing hitherto waste places into garden spots, by ability to heap up bank ac- counts on little savings, by the strange facuity of building a paying business on narrow margins.
 s A nation which had dealt prodigally in big profits began to learn the les- son of the value of little things, of

7 .4 .' .t- The winds of God in the, pine trees
 pause, And breathe in signs today; For all that could help the, hearts lost
 cause
 Has gone in the winds wild way. The winds of heaven mid marzs Now whisper their sad refrain For beauty with which true love en-
 dowe,
 Now droops in the dreary rain. Afar hath love in it's grievings gone It wanders mid graves and tombs, It seeks the twilight and2not the dawn. And dweils in It's grief and dooms: The soul of goodness is far away, And beauty is bathed in tears; The heart of sadness more sad today ! Weeps over the passing years. And I grieve for the good that hath

 For the good whom own as my own

Ex-senator Gordon
Goes to His Reward.

several weeks, former United
States Senator James Gordon
died at his home in Okolona,
Thursday, November %. His
death was due to senility.
Senator Gordon became promi-
nent in the senate when he de-
livered the famous Good WHIP
speech Immediately after his ap-
pointment to fill the unexpired
term caused by the death of Sen
ator A. j. McLaurin.
He was appointed to the sena-
torship December q, 1909, and
served until February 20, 1910.
In that short time he attracted
nation wide attention by his
quaint utterances and his abound
ing optimism. Senator Gordon
served throughout the civil var
as a Confederate captain. He
was a successful planter and
poet. His manuscript has ap-
peared in many prominent publ.
cations throughout the country.
Senator Gordon was born in
December, 1888. and until a few
months before his death had
been in excellent health at his
plantation.
Under the caption "A South.
ern Gentleman" The Washing.
ton Post has the following kind Y
reference called forth by the
death of Senator Gordon:
Politicians have spent six long
years in the United States SEN
ate and failed in that time to
win for themselves such a repu-
tation as was achieved by James
Gordon. Of Mis- sissippi, in three
short months. During his brief
appearance upon the scene in
the Capital this modest country
gentleman, until then practical
unknown out of his own county,
made himself a national figure,
and his name became a house
hold word throughout the coun-
try.
1t was not that Senator Cor
don made his influence felt up
on the legislation. for he did not.
Beyond the introduction Of a
few bills of interest to his own
state only, he contributed moth
ing to the making of laws. He
aided not in the molding of the
public mind on any great ques-
ton, enunciated no principle Of
craftsmanship, and took but an
inconspicuous part in the affairs
of the distinguished body to
which he had been appointed to
fill a vacancy. But he delivered,
on the eve of his departure, a
speech so full of good will, so
brimming over with patriotism
and love for his fellow American
citizens, couched in such a simple
and nomely language, and show
ing such kindly honesty and sim
cerity. that he won in an instant
a measure Of nationwide popu-
larity which far more brilliant
than he have vainly spent their
lives in seeking. And when the
time came for,this country gentle
man of the old school, this
knightly former Confederate
soldier, to return to the secIusion
of his cotton plantation, he car
ried with him the affection Of q
host Of friends.
A short visit made the first of the
week by Mr.. Louis Armstrong, of st.
Louis, to his niece, Mrs. T. F. Elkin,
and other friends in Tupelo, was a
source Of much pleasure to all. Mr..
Armstrong was reared at Verona, but
has been in St. Louis for a number #
years. He Is a member of the firm +
T. J. Moss Tie Company. which firm
does an extensive business in railroad
ties. Mr.. Armstrong; many friend sin
Mississippi are pleased to know Of his
success in . business way, and regret
I a. his stay among them was so short.

THAT CONIvIU.
NIFTY PRIZE
George Grayson, Of HarIowton
Wins the One Hundred
Dollar Prize.

More interest was taken in the
community prize, offered by the
Meagher county fair than any
other prize offered, and the honor
fell to George Grayson of Harlow
ton. This prize was for the best
collection Of grains, grasses, vege-
tables and roots grown in any one
community. There were several
entries and the competition was
brisk. =. III. Garret Of Martinsdale
had splendid collection of exhi-
bits, and John Burke of Bercail
also had good collection. There
were other exhibits not as exten-
sive as those mentioned.
Naturally George Grayson feels
much elated at winning this covet-
ed prize, and Harlowton feels
proud that the honor feel to this
community.
George had very extensive ex-
hibit, consisting of several kinds OF
grasses and grains, vegetables and
roots. He had no less than three
kinds of potatoes in the collection,
celery that was beautifully
bleached, beets that were so large
that they resembled field beets
and all of it was tastfully arranged
While it is impossible to send his
vegetable and root exhibits te
Helena on account of being unable
to keep them from whiting, the
grains and grasses will form par
of the Meagher county exhibit al
the state fair.
George Grayson is an old time
citizen Of this state, having huntee
and trapped here at a time whel
the Indians we're on the warpath
and gold mining and trapping were
the only business that white mel
followed. He was the guide TO

addition to this every male over
q years old and under so will
haye to pay special per capita
tax Of 81 for the special road and
the special poor funds.
These taxes are not high com
pared with other counties, and
nobody over this way would object
TO them in the least provided we
could get some benefit from them.
When we appealed for money for
roads we were allowed 500 for
each road district in this end of
the county, while the commission
ers made a contract for building
one road in the west end OF the
county, so far as the writer can
learn, that leads from nowhere in
particular to an obscure sheep
camp. The plea is made that that
particular road has been needed for
many years. This contract amounts
to $4,000.
And there you are.
And what are you going to dc
about it!
To say that this condition Of
affairs can be remedied by the east
end electing all the county com
missioners, or a majority of the
board, is absurd. 1t will take SIX
years to do this and we cannot
! wait six years for good roads il
this end of the county.

WINS TWICE
From HarIowton During the
Meagher County Fair
Held Last Week.

The ball games between Lewis
town and Harlowton on the last
two days Of the fair, created consi-
derable excitement. The locals were
not fast enough for the Lewistown
team and went down to defeat in
both games. The home team did
not play their usual snappy game
and made some very costly errors.
This took the heart out of the
pitchers and made the games one
sided.
The Lewistown team consisted
Of the pick of the fast Dillon,
Roundup and Lewistown teams, SO
it was no disgrace to be defeated
by them. The following is the
score Of Thursdays game.
