Australia Still UnexpIored

1t is curious to realize that vast
parts of the British empire have
never been seen by British eyes or
the eyes of any white man. Nearly
quarter of Australia is still unex-
plored, mainly in the west, where the
population averages only one person
in every twenty miles.

Horrible English Words.

One can easily add to Victor Hugo's
list of horrible English words. Gen
teel," for instance, is an adjective
that sets the teeth on edge, and "se-
lect' (used as an adjective) is an
other word that only second rate
person would select. Emerge" and
"transpire" are both repulsive to use
and any breakfast is always spoiled
when a correspondent thanks him
In anticipation" or a tailor asks him
to come and try on his esteemed
favor meaning trousers.

quite positively in the affirmative, Mr.
Mott declares that the union never

several attempts, as he stated, have
been made to carry the union into
politics, which have failed, After
discussing the things accomplished by
the union in a general way, Mr.. Mott
in communication, says:
1.-THE union in the south is stronger

the National Warehouse Company.
But when an association of merch-
ants or bankers make mistake, they
do not sit down and whine They

faith in the farmers that they will do
the same thing In many of the coun-
ties in Mississippi the union is strong
and doing a great work; they are
doing things and making the union 60.

In speaking of the growing Of oats

the oat crop of 1913 was three times
as great as that of 1910, and the
tendency Of all farmers is to increase

He stated further that the time for a

they are uncertain and in no case do
they yield as much as earlier planting
would do on the same land.

and half. In his every charge, Rev.
Tatum has earned an enyious reputa-
ton for his energetic and unraltering
devotion to the cause of Christianity,
and the uplifting of souls to the sub
lime truths in the teachings of the
Master.
Rev. Tatum was married to Miss
Hettie X. Mason, at Benton, ILL.,, June

the following children: Morris,
Georgia, Emily, Burnelle and Earl Ia
tum, all of whom have been spared
to become the chief ornaments, pride
and happiness of their devoted par

Prior to entering the ministry Rev.
Tatum taught school successfully for a
number Of years, but his greatest
achievements have been in a greater
field of instruction, imparting the i'm.
perishable truths of immortality. Dur
ing his activities as a minister Rev. Ia
tum has baptised more than 1000 per-
sons, and has performed marriage GER
emonies for over 100 couples, and built
five church buildings. Such is brief
outline OF a great work well performed
by a man whose gentle bearing, UNI

characer and steadfast devotion to the
tenets OF the Christian religion, have
