Prof. c. NJ. Stevens. principal of
the Marion County High School, is
very anxious to get up Corn Club in
Marion county. In an interview with
Thos A. Early, of Memphis, special
agent of the Corn Clubs for Tennessee.
be was promised special fayors if the
citizens would get up the necessary
premi ums 1t was proposed to make
it high school move, as several boys
of the agricultural class are willing to
enter the contest, but somehow or 9th
er, we are informed, the project has
Jagged. Bledsoe County High School
raised easily in Pikeville the necessary
prizes and Mari on is surely not going
to allow herself to be outclaesed in
progressiveness by Bledsoe. An appeal
is now made for suitable premiums,
and those who will assist in this move
are invited to announce what they
will offer, and for what purpose eth
er thru this paper or personally to
Prof. Stevens, who is extremely desir-
Gus to see the contest inaugurated.
Act quickly, Bledsoe offers $125, $s5,
$i5, and S. prizes for best acre; SO,
$40. S., So for best ten ears; $40, 50,
So, So for best essay on corn raising,
A girls industrial should also be
formed for tomato canning, and with
suitable encouragement in prizes could
easily be got up with the students of
the Domestic Science Department of
the High School and others outside of
the school, also.

The McNamaras struck it rich.
They are enjoying life better inside
the California prison, which is a veri-
table hotel de luxe, than they ever did
outside of it. Seems to us they are not
suffering any punishment for their
dastardly crimes. We do not believe in
anything but humane treatment, but
we don't think it fair to have condi-
tions inside of penitentiaries so far
ahead of conditions outside of them
that prisoners once inside prefer to re-
main there, and are willing to commi
crime to get back in.

It is said by Catholic haters, and
those deceived by them, that the Nc
Namaras are Catholics. We are will
ing to lay wager that they are the
kind of Catholics who don't know the
name of the church at which they
should worship, nor the name of the
priest in charge. and wouldn't know
when the service was begun or ended
unless somebody told them. The coun-
try has plenty of such Catholics who
dishonor the name but they are not on
the church rolls, although Catholic
haters try to keep them there.

The Statesman Democrat of Jasper,
don't like Hooper "a little bit" fer
his non-appointment of Mr.. Thach as
criminal Judge. This lisa free coun-
try, and man can do as he pleases,
and this is exactly what Governor
Hooper seems to be doing. regardless
of the Statesman-D Democrat insinu-
atoms to the contrary Such attacks
as this on the prohibition governor of
the state weakens the cause of prohib-
ition. and no doubt the non prohlbs
are chuckling over the break. From
our dealings with Governor Hooper
we have learned that he does just as
he pleases, regardless Of persuasive
efforts, and as we act in the same
manner, we can hardly blame him.
We, as fellow countians, preferred to
have seen Mr.. Thach get the appoint
ment, but there is no doubt that Gov.
Hooper made good appointment
when he appointed Maj, Evans, who
is eminently qualified for the office.
This is no slur on Mr.. Thach, either,
who is brainy young man, so don t
take it so. The Democrat should ack
nowiedge that the Governor has a
right to appoint man who is well
qualified, and also bound to him, per-
haps, by sense of comradeship, and
give him fair deal.

A report is current that the Clark people are looking over route from Blackberry and Klngman to the Big Sandy for railroad, which is design ed to connect with the railroad from Bouse to Swansea. The Clark people are sure to make an effort to secure the ores of the mines of this county to supply the big smelter at the Verde and to do so railroads will have to be constructed into the remote sections. A railroad down the Big Sandy would bring large tonnage of ore, as well as giving the farmers of that section a market for their produce. The country is easy of access to a railroad and it is to be hoped that one will be built. Practically all the mines of Wallapai mountain are on the east side and the haul to the railroad would be all down hill and in no in- stance more than ten miles at the farthest point.

More than 32,OO0,O00 lbs of copper was exported to Europe during the first weeks of May and as a result of recent sales for foreign account it is believed total exports for May will
 reach 65,000,O00 lbs. It is estimated that the sales during the above period aggregated total of between 75,000,
 900 to loo, ,000, 900 lbs., and that surplus supplies in this country were lower than at any time since the improve ment began. Henry R Morton X Co.,, L'd., of London, say: The American industrial situation IS improving per ceptibly, evidence of the increasing activity in the copper trade being fur. nished by the fact that the large con- sumers have been buying refined cop- per heavily for forward delivery-an attitude on their part which has not been adopted for several years,- Chicago Mining X Engineering World.

Over at the Gemini mine fully 100 miners are now at work in that sec- tion of the property which is being handled under the leasing system and almost without exception they are making money. The Gemini property is one of the most attractive leasing propositions in the Tintic district and some sensatlonally rich ore is being mined from dozen different blocks of ground upon which lessees are at work. Supt. J. H. McCrystal states that the lessees are low sending out ore at the rate of about one carload each day and that the leasing system is now furnishing employment for not less than 100 men.-Eureka Reporter.

 Earned Ruputation,

For months Press readers have seen the constant expression of praise fo1 Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 James Mallon, Fox Hill, Rockville, Conn. says: "You may continue to use my recommendation of Doan s Kidney Pills given for publication in 1906. I can only add that kidney trouble has never bothered me since I used this remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills are entitled to the full credit for my cure. I had kidney trouble and backache. The pains in my loins were so severe that was hardly able to work; in fact, on several occasions I was obliged to lay off. It was diff cult for me to stoop. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I obtained a supply and it did not take them long to relieve my trouble"

BURNS IN THE RAIN.
Proper Way to Build Campfire Ir
 Stormy Weather.

Proper Way to Build a Campfire In Stormy Weather. There are several ways of building a campfire that an ordinary rain will not put out. This is one:
 Lay two sticks on the ground par allel with each other and from two to four times as far apart as the diane ters of the sticks. Across these two lay two more, as if you were starting cob house. If necessary drive stakes into the ground to keep the sticks in place.
 For the next story of the cob house use only one stick and place that on the side on which you are to be when the fire is burning. These five sticks may be green. Dry wood makes a bet ter fire, but it needs rebuilding sooner.
 Roof over the cob housez with any kind of dry wood. The harder. the. rain the more there will have to be if this roof is to shed the water. Each stick of the roof should rest on the back log and on the last-the fifth-stick of the cob house and be kept in place by the side sticks. '''% i--''''' ; @;a- s,1' 't1'
 Fill the inside of the house with kindifngs and set fire to them. The roof will burn on the under side, where the heat of the fire keeps it dry AS each stick burns through it falls into the fire that fills the interior of the cob house. The camper. watches the fire and cooks through the opening between the fore stick and the top stick that supports the roof. He also feeds brands and small kindlings through this opening, but puts the large sticks on the roof.
 It is surprising to see in how hard rain this kind of fire will burn Youths Companion.

 The largest quantity of pickerel ever seen in Stafford, probably, was that brought here last Saturday from Chaffee's pond in Ashford. At inter- vals of two or three years it is the custom of the proprietor to sell the right of drawing off and seining the water, making thirty $1 shares. The chief shareholders this year were w. E. Butler and Samuel and John Rock well. The result of the first haul was 25 bushels of pickerel, besides other fish. The next hauls secured nearly as many, but only the best fish of these were selected, and the rest let go. This is one of the greatest breed ing places for pickerel in the state, affording all the time first class fish ing, despite the frequent seining. One fish of last Saturdays catch weighed B pounds.

FLAMES THAT ARE NURsED.
Siann's Sacred Fire and the Fires oi
 Vengeance of Sicily.

siam's Sacred Fire and the Fires of
 Vengeance of Sicily.
 History records many strange exam pies of fires that are kept burning for long periods of time. The best known examples are those of pagan people who keep up perpetual fires as re ligious custom.
 The oldest known fire in the world is that In Buddhist temple near Bangkok. Siam. which has been burn ing without interruption for two cen turies. A priest Is always on guard to watch the sacred flame. Every four years a new flame is kindled. but this is always lighted in the great brazier from a brand of the old fire.
 The life of a grand vizier in Persia was once saved by a Parsee trader, who discovered and exposed a plot to kill the royal official. In spite of the fact that the Persians are Mohammed ans and hold fire worshipers in con tempt. a single flame has been kept burning continuously for seventy years at Sarhad in honor of the humble trader
 Tn inhabited lands within the arctic circle fires have been known to burn for years. This. however, is not so much a custom as it is a simple prac- tice based on reasons of convenience and necessity because of the scarcity of wood or kindling of any kind to produce ignition. Oil is the fuel of the people of the snows.
 In Sicily it has long been the custom of the vendetta to maintain the fire of vengeance" until one's enemy has been slain. The criminal records of that fiery island are full of instances of fires that were kept up for years until death overlook the unfortunate victim whose life had been marked for destruction.-New York Times.

MONEY BACK CATARRH
 REMEDY

Dosing the stomach won't kill Catarrh germs. Neither will sprays, douches, snuffs or ointments.
 The quickest way to kill germs is to breathe deep into the lungs the vapor- ized air of Booths HYOMEI.
 As this antiseptic air passes over the sore spots infested with Catarrh germs, it not only destroys them, but heals the inf1amed membrane and stops the discharge of mucous.
 Then hawking, splitting, snuf1ing, crusts in nose and foul breath will disappear, and vile, disgusting Catarrh will be conquered.

Those curious twists and turns super stitions take are to be found in the in troduction of horses skulls in or about the church buildings in England and Scotland. the reason alleged being, to help the sound in church. This habit is unquestionably. relic of !heathenism where an animal was'saerificed. Some years ago, when an old meeting house in Edinburgh was pulled down, the sounding board space above the pulpit was found to be filled with horses skulls. In some parts of England there still exists the idea that if horses head is buried in field there will be an ophO
