Attentions Given Gardens.

Judging from the large number
of seacoast cabbage plants that are
being sold, more attention than
usual is being given to the early
gardens in this vicinity. The few
hours that are spent in providing
vegetables in season bring larger
returns than can be realized from
the time spent in any other way on
the farm. Now is the time to pre-
pare for the mid-winter and early
spring garden.

Newsy Letter From Cleora.

Mr.. Editor: There is more sick
ness in this community from cold
than l have ever known at this sea-
son of the year.
Our school commenced on Octo-
Der 21st with the same teachers we
had last year, Miss Nell Hill, princi-
Land Miss Carrie Collins, assistant.
The enrolment is not very large yet
but I think it will go to so by
Christmas. They are arranging to
take part in the parade at the fair
this week. We are arranging to
have the school house painted this
winter.
Crops around here are very short
and will soon all be gathered. The
corn and hay crops are the shortest
we have had for several years,
which will be a hardship on us
next year. However, there is more
oats and wheat being sown than for
several years and they are being put
in earlier and better than usual,
which will help make up for the
short corn crop.
Mr.. A. L. Bruuson, Jr., is at
home with his father for while
from Jacksonville, Fla, He expects
to return about the 18th or Goth.
Mr.. Joe Prince Will soon move
into Mr.. G. M. Thomas house, hav-
ing rented it for next year.
Mr.. Will Vance and his son,
Fred, are over from Hephzibah,
Ca, visiting friends.
L. r. Brunson, Jr., is moving his
saving outfit to Mr.. Joe Smiths
about miles below Edgefeld to-
day to do big bill of saving for
him and some Of his neighbors.
Mr.. Simon Williams is saving
for Mr.. R. G. Griffis.
Mr.. Fred Holmes had the misfor-
tune to have mule gored to death
by a cow last week.
Mr.. Abbie Walker who is boss
ing the chaingang spent two weeks
in this neighborhood with the gang,
and has put our roads in fine condi-
ton for the winter. He has clean
ed out the bitches and smoothed off
the road bed, but not piled up a
great pile of dirt in the roads to
make them impossible as soon as
the winter rains commence, as was
done last year. We hope when MIR.
divides the gang las we
hear he is going to do) he will give
us Mr.. Walker in this section.
Owing to the short cotton crop
our gins have already set gin days,
earlier than ever before.
Mr.. J. B. Corley will soon move
TO the Mrs. Carolina Williams place
which he has bought.
Mr.. r. W. Christie has moved
into his new house on the public
road.
Mr.. L. B. Brunson has been con-
fined to the house since last Tues
dsy quite sick, but is better now.

Notice, Teachers.

In connection with our parade on
Friday during the Fair, l have en-
deavored to get a personal letter to
the principal of each school in the
county. Ifany one fails to receive
this letter it is because it has been
lost in the mail, or l have not been
able to get the teachers name. All
teachers are invited to come and
contribute to the success of this ef-
fort. Trustees, also, are COZ daily
invited.

The Carnival Merry-Go-Round.

The biggest, brasiest merry-go-
round this side of Coney Island can
be seen at the fair grounds. AS
soon as they see it the people of all
ages are sure to rush for seats like
women upon a bargain counter. The
instrument that discourses sweet
music to the merry-makers is said
to have cost $4,000. It's worth a
quarter to ride on this Coney-lsland
.Merry-Go-Round but they only
charge FIVE cents.

Many Lots We're Sold At
Bogalusa.

P. Seton Schneidau, with
headquarters in New Orleans:
and P. H. Hansburg of Bogalusa,
sales agents for the Bogalusa
Land and Improvement Company
state that more than a hundred
building lots were sold during
Sunday to excursionists who
enjoyed the hospitality of the
agents during the delightful
outing given Sunday at Bogalusa.
In the neighborhood of 800 men
and women boarded the special
train at the Terminal Station
early Sunday morning and went
to the enterprlsing city of Wash
ington parish situated on the
New Orleans Great Northern and
there saw tor themselves the
very great advantages offered
the homeseeker in a new locality.
So successful was the sales
business on the first day that
Messrs. Schneidau and Hans.
brough decided on Monday to
give another excursion in the
near future to be followed by
others in rapid order. Their
idea is to get rid of all building
lots they now have charge of
and to develop another section of
Bogalusa, which is situated in
the heart of the Ozone belt.
The rapid development of
Bogalusa and the enormous
amount Of money invested by
the Goodyear and other interests
in that section Of Louisiana was
sufficient to encourage visitors
to the site of the Bogalusa Land
and Improvement Company dur
ing Sunday to invest in building
lots with the view Of probable
permanent location in the vicinity
of Bogalusa.
Building lots in the Bogalusa
Terrace tract are selling from
$50 up, Payments are made on
the installment plan.

ADMIRAL VERNON.

He Invented "Gros" and Gave Name
to Washington's Home.
Few Americans are informed as to
how Mount Vernon, the home OF Wash
ington, received its name.
The unfortunate Duke OF Monmouth
had a secretary named Vernon. a pru-
dent. sensible man of business. who,
after the dukes death. found favor III
influential quarters and under William
III. became a secretary of state. He
left a son. Edward, born in 1854, who,
greatly against his fathers wishes. en-
tered the navy and, serving with dis
tinction, rose to the rank of admiral.
In 1922 he was elected to the house of
commons. and having, in July, 1879, de-
clared there that Porto Bello might
be reduced with six sail of the line. he
was sent with a squadron to fulfill his
prediction. On returning home sue
cessful he received the thanks of both
houses and the freedom OF the city OF
London. From that time. however. his
star declined. An expedition to Car
tagena, made two years later, signaily
failed.
1t was in the land force at Cartagena
that Lawrence Washington. Georges
eldest brother by fourteen years. had
| served. and apparently he esteemed
Vernon. as he gave his name to his
! home on the Potomac, and procured
midshipman's appointment for George.
| His mothers interposition ultimately
| prevented the boys awaiting himself OF
| this appointment
Vernon's popularity was so great that
| his unlucky expedition does not seem
! to have affected it. as he was actually
| elected to parliament for three places
on his return. Probably his known hos
| tility to the government had much to
! do with this. In 1745 he was detailed
to watch the North sea. in view of the
| movement Of the pretender's adher-
/ ents. The next year a serious SQUAD
| bic arose between him and the govern
ment. resulting in his producing two
pamphlets that 50 exasperated the au-
thorities that by the kings express
command he was struck off the list OF
admirals. He died in 1871.
IL was Vernon who brought into use
the custom Of mixing water with the
ration of rum. which got the me OF
Grog from his habit Of wearing a gre
gram waistcoat. and hence mis- nick.
