The patriotic instructor of the
Major c. A. Angel Post, No. 20, G.
A. X, issues the following document
which is of interest to all citizens:
1t is an important part of our
work that we shall do all possible to
keep alive the lessons of our patri-
otto anniversaries There is no more
potent argument in favor of peace
than knowledge of the fearful
price at which our privileges have
been purchased
In April are several historic
anniversary days which appeal es-
pecially to those who are striving
to perpetuate the deeds of the men
who made this nation, and those of
later day who saved it from disrup-
ton.
of widely different significance,
yet inseparably connected with the
Civil War are the 9th and 18th of
April; the first the day of the sur
render at Appamatox, when Abra-
ham Lincoln-in the midst of his
great triumph, with the land about
to enter upon new era Of peace
and progress was felled by the
hand of an assassin and passed to
the fullness of the life beyond.
The story of Appamatox cannot
be too often told, emblazoned in
letters of gold, of the General who
had won the victory. and there laid
the corner stone of what has been a
lasting peace and half century of
marvellous progress.
1t is we'll that on the recurring
anniversaries the lesson of the death
as we'll as the life of Abraham Lin
coin should be studied and its effect
upon the nation considered by our
schools as well as by the nation at
large.

expected breakdowns, or TO replace
worn parts on elevator controllers.
there has been designed by the Otis
Elevator company, for the con-
venience OF engineers and others re-
sponsible for elevator maintenance,
useful device known as the Otis con-
trolier parts cabinet It Is com
pa-t, strongly-made steel box and
contains the essential parts OF the
type of controller furnished with the
elevator machine installed. BY hav-
ing II at hand in the engine-room the
engineer may replace a worn part of
the controller and order a new part

keeping the cabinet complete for re-
pair work. The adj antages OF hav-
ing one of these cabinets in the in
gine-room are that repairs can be
made Immediately. elevator service
will not be impaired. and there is
at hand a remedy for any controller
trouble, These cabinets are being
manufactured at present for direct
current controllers only, and are fur
nished for controllers used with Otis
standard drum and traction ma
chimes. The cabinet Is illustrated in
the Otis pamphlet on Elevator Ser

NO ALARM FOR
THE Burnley CROP
MAY BE IRREGULAR AND SPOT
TED THIS SEASON. BUT CROP
Is ALL THERE.

]. r. Cunningham. of the Ken
lucky Tobacco Redrying company. Is
sending cut the following circular TO
tobacco men in which he states that
there is little need for apprehension
concerning the Kentucky crop:
MFR. Cunningham's Circular:
Lexington, KY. Aug. IL. 1918.
Dear Sir.--The hurley crop situa-
ton so far is devoid OF any real ap
prehension and latest developments
are considered by well informed peo-
pie to be greatly improved.
''It Is unnecessary to deny the fact
that this Ia very irregular and
spotted crop--occasioned by local
rather than general rainfall. 1t may
be cited that in some few counties
the early tobacco, with the exception
NJ being exclusively hred near the
ground. is considered to be of fair to
excellent growth and quality. where
as, in other adjoining counties II Is
far from normal or OF average
growth for this season OF the year.
However, as a very large proportion
OF this crop IL late. but well rooted.
IL Is not more than reasonable to
assume THAT with reasonable weather
uiElHR the REMAINDER OF InES Inontn
and September that II will mature
Into a larger yield and better quail
ity than the plants that were earlier
set. We presume that few farmers
expect yield per acre so large as last
year. but the deficiency would be di-
mlnished II the farmers were inclined
to save the fired ground leaves as the
Virginia and North Carolina planters
have been accustomed to doing for
many years.
''Other farm products not harvested
before the drought set in have been
more seriously impaired than tobac-
co, !nasmuch as there remain little
hope and no exception for even a fair
yield. while on the contrary regard
ing tobacco there is always hope as
long as there is life as 1t is known
10 stand more drought and adverse
conditions than any other farm
product raised in this section OF the
country.
Therefore. Il Is premature to fore
cast a very short crop and rather
problematical also at this time as
to what the ultimate and general
character and color of II will be.

FINE WEST END
PROPERTY OPENED
ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION TO BE
PUT ON THE MARKET
THIS WEEK

Real estate men generally admit
that the past week has been the dull
est of the summer. While some OF
the agents did business enough to
make bread and butter. no deals Of
any consequence were reported,
though several are said to be pending.
Quite a number OF the agents are
taking their vacations while the dull
season is on. and that fact helps to
make the period Of Inactivity even
more inactive.
But the inactivity will not continue
long. There are many things ION the
string" az the real estate men say,
and these are possible OF early devel-
opment. The rental season has about
reached It's end and this will give
more time to devote to sales. Ger
tainly there is one hopeful sign Of
life--Colonel Leroy e. Brown

One interesting announcement to
home builders is the fact
that Gibboney & Nuckols, inc, will put
on the market next week the West
End lots from the Roseneath road to
the Belt lineT-one of the most attrac-
tive propositions that has been offered
in some time. For a long time this
property has been out OF reach, but
these enterprising agents have secured
control OF 1t and are now engaged In

of the prettiest lots to be found in the
