Rev. Wade Blanton.

Died at his home in Nettleton,
March IL, Rev. Wade Blanton,
after an illness of a few days OF
pneumonia. He was just enter
ing manhood, only twenty-five
years of age. His life so full of
noble aims and hopes is ended.
He had consecrated his waole
life to God, and his many noble
qualities of mind and heart
promised great things. To know
him was to love him, and his
cure life was an inspiration to
all with whom he associated.
God in his love and wisdom hath
called him home.
Let us so live that some day
we will live where partings are
no more.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls his own?
And bids them leave a world OF woe
For an immortal crown.
Is not cen death a gain to those
Whose life TO God was given?
Gladly to earth their eyes they close,
To open them in heaven;
His toll is past, his work is done,
And he is fully blest;
He fought the fight. and victory won,
And entered into rest.
Their let our sorrow cease to flow;
God hath recalled his own;
But let our hearts in every woe
Still say. "Thy will be DONE
A FRIEND.

CAT DIDN'T COME BACK
AT LEAST NOT TO DoMIciLE
WHERE 1T BELONGED.
lts Disappearance Something Of Mys-
terry to Mr.. Jones, Though He ls
a Roast Of Beef to
the Good.

It was found necessary to do away
with the family cat because she had
developed germs and the doctor said
1t was dangerous for the children. But
this cat was the children's particular
pet, so 1t was decided simply to have
her disappear, with no funeral or flow
ers or juvenile tears or tombstone In
the back yard Accordingly the animal
was chloroformed and then Mr.. Jones
did the remains up in neat parcel of
convenient shape and took them along
when he started for his place of busi-
ness in the city in the morning, intend
ing to drop the package in the river.
In the train before the river was
reached Mr.. Jones saw the package re-
posing in the rack above his head and
determined that was good place to
leave 1t. So when he started to get out
of the car he did not take the pack
age down.
"Hey, there, Jones! You're leaving
your package" called out friend. So
Jones turned back and got the pack
age.
On the boat he was surrounded by a
number of friends and realized that to
drop the bundle overheard in their
presence would require a lot of expla-
nation and doubtless result in more or
less joking at his expense. So he took
the package to his office with him. He
saw the impossibility of disposing of
it there and determined to get rid of
t1,4 thn trip or
home.
But there again he was surrounded
by his friends of the morning trip and
took the package to the train with him.
An attempt to get off the car without
it resulted just as it had in the morn
ing. Mr.. Jones thus found himself
returning to his home with the bother
some bundle and he knew the children
would meet him on the front porch and
insist on knowing what it was. Accord
ingly he made his way home across
the back lots, deposited the bundle on
the kitchen porch and finally got to
the front Of the house without detec-
ton. Fifteen minutes after he had
seated himself on the front porch with
the solution of his great problem the
cook appeared.
Mrs. JONES'" said she, whats dat
extra roast of beef out on the back
po'ch?"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones both went back.
Sure enough the bundle contained
six-pound roast of beef.
1t only remains to say this story IS
true one. The thing happened as
here written.
Mr.. Jones is still wondering whether
the man with whom he somewhere ex-
changed bundles had much difficulty in
disposing of the remains of the dead
cat

The average corn production in this
country is about 25 bushels to the
acre. In good year it may rise to
30 or thereabouts. Yet here and there
In many localities, we hear of farmers
who get 60, rs and occasionally more
than 100 bushels. The average pro-
duction of wheat the country over is
barely 15 bushels; 1t is not much over
for wheat raising. Yet occasionally rs
bushels are raised. The south does
not get half bale of cotton from an
acre, and very many of its acres yield
a good deal less. Five years ago a
Mississippi farmer had 160 acres of
land and mortgage of 5000, and
couldn't get credit at the store for
plug of tobacco. But he had brains
enough to be impressed with the eff
forts of the department of agriculture
to increase production, and he was
willing to be taught by the book far
mers," says the Philadelphia Record.
The first thing he was told to, do was
to break the land eight inches deep.
He had small plows and two ponies
that were unequal to this task; but
he borrowed team from neighbor,
and instead of making" three bales
from 12 acres, he made" one on
single acre, all that he had applied
intensive culture to. He got half
bale an acre in 1908, three-fourths of
a bale an acre in 1909, and he expects
ultimately to get two bales from an
acre. He is out of debt, has four fine
mules, and he has son and a daugh-
ter in college. The storekeepers are
chasing him around trying to sell him
goods ,on credit. He was willing to
learn from the book farmers and
1t has paid him well.

The French government has reach
ed the conclusion that the drum is no
longer necessary in military affairs.
Acting upon the recommendation of a
military commission,> orders have
been issued to cast it out of the serv-
Ice. The history of the drum is most
ancient and honorable. The Egypti-
ans employed it and the Greeks at
tribute its origin to Bacchus. The
Spanish conqueror, Pizarro, is said to
have found drums in South American
temples. The snakes of Ireland, we
are told, fed from the Emerald isle
because of the drum beats of st. Pat
rick. The French report sets forth
that the drum is a serious encum-
brance in marching; that rain impairs
Its usefulness; that its calls cannot
be distinguished in time of battle;
that 1t consumes period of years to
turn out an efficient drummer, and
that by abandoning the drum many
thousands of youths will be released
from the service.

In the death of John M. Drury OF
Toledo, Secretary of the National
Wheel Company of Perrysburg, this
village loses prominent business

the business interests of the town.

Mr.. Drury was united in marriage
with Miss Gertrude Bfllabrand of Per
rysburg, in Sept. 1908, and although
they have always resided in Toledo,
they haye been regarded with great
favor by Perrysburg people, and Mr..
Drury had made many friends here
for his gentlemanly character and his
high business qualifications which
made HIM valued citizen and his de
parture is deeply deplored.
Although his sickness during the
past three months had been a hard
trial, his patience never forsook him
and no word of complaint ever passed
his lips, and he gave every evidence of
being ready to accept and patiently
endure whatever aflliction was to be
his, and his last moments were those
of peaceful submission to the Will of
the great Master.

Perhaps the worst infant prodigy on
record was Christian Heinecker, born
at Lubbock In 1871. At ten months he
could speak and repeat every word
spoken to him, at twelve months he
knew by heart great portion of the
Bible, at three years he spoke and
read French and Latin as easily as
his native tongue. In his fourth year
he employed himself In the study of
religion and church history. and his
fame as scholar spread so that the
king Of Denmark sent for him, and
was astonished at his learning. Just
before he was five, however, Heineck-
er fell sick and died-and the world
breathed more freely.

The bonfire and matches as play
things for children are gathering in
their regular harvest of victims. The
bonfire should have as vigorous pro-
hibit.on as the toy pistol, which is
now almost extinct. With the dangers
OF matches, only parental vigilance
can deal. But it is entirely possible
to lower the number of infantile
burnt offerings annually offered up
on the altar of carelessness.
