young boy about fourteen years
of age, was at work for us. This
boy had the care of several broth
ers and sister, all younger than
himself, his father and mother
both being dead. The work was
hard, too hard for one of his age,
yet he never complained. He
performed his duties well and to
the satisfaction of all conce ned.
He ran the office, doing the
drudgery, the typesetting, the
makeup, the run, and everything
else necessary. He was the
whole works. Some time after
his connection with !, this paper
ceased, he came to Richmond and
was connected with some papers
here, finally landing with the Gil
max, with which paper he has
been connected for the last sew
eral years and in which paper he
has held every position from the
devil" to the office of President,
which latter office he now fills
with distinction. He has been
eninently successful in his chosen
work, all brought about by a
faithful attention to duty and a
full appreciation of his fellowman.
Mr.. Miller has had some politi-
Cal experience in this city, having
been elected to the office of school
trustee of Caldwell High School
in which office he had the inter
ests of the children always at
heart, and much of its present
strength and position as an insti-
tuition of learning is due to his
efforts in its behalf. He was also
elected as Councilman of the city,
which position he filed with
great credit to himself and city.
One so well known here as is
Mr.. Miller, needs but few words
of commentator, for it is known
of all men that he has ever stood
for the best in manhood and for
all those things that are best in
the community.
He is an affable gentleman,
pleasant in his social intercourse
and correct in his business deal
ings. He is a writer of force, a
fine mixer with the people, is in
sympathy with the masses and
toilers, and if elected to this of.
flee, it will be his pleasure to
guard and protect their interests.
His platform will be announced
later.
The man who beats Ancil Dan.
iel Miller will know that. he has

the floor, but Jennings long form was
stretched out before the fire, his
whisky glass was at his elbow, and he
said from time to time:

Grigsby, cooking his head at the night

Grigsby looked at his watch. 1t was

nessey, swinging the bag behind him.
Hennessey proffered the bag to his
master, but Jennings said:
"Wait minute" Then he ran his
hand wrist-deep into his pocket and
drew out paper which he examined
critically, squirting his eyes, partly to
protect them from the smoke that
curled up from big domestic cigar.

are being taken by modern bee keep
ers to prevent distant sWarming and
consequent loss of bees. One of these
is by clipping the wings OF the queen

are being carried on by different
apiarists that the best mode is as yet
unsettled Locality, climate and var
ious other conditions have to be TAX
en- into consideration.
Before leaving the hive to swarm,
the bees gorge themselves with honey
sufficient to provide their nutriment
for several days Bee keepers have
learned that bees are not apt to sting
soon after eating which Is one reason
why they seldom sting While swarm
ing. Any excitement or disturbance in
the hive makes the bees eat, as they
evidently fear they are going to be
ledge enables an experienced person
to handle them in manner quite
startling TO the average man who is
afraid of being stung- John Jay, OF
Nincennes, Indiana was recently
photographed with a swarm OF bees
attached to his chin. He Is smiIingly
confident that his -bee whiskerS" will
not hurt him. A puff Of smoke will
usually excite the bees and drive them
to eating. Consequently d smoking i'm
plement is deemed an essential by all
bee Qeepers who use it when 1t is nee
essary TO move the bees or make some
change in their hives.
Bees also supply certain remedial
resources. The daily use OF honey in
the diet has been claimed as a cure
for obstinate cases of indigestion ana
sick headache. A less agreeable meas
ure is the application OF bee stings
for rheumatism. This heroic treat
ment is belived to have cuI ed num-

100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today occurred
the attack on the Hillabee Towns, which
attack was one of the most remarkable
incidents of the Creek indian war. The
towns formed an indian settlement on
the TallapoOsa, in Alabama. The attack
was made BY a force of several hundred
mounted Tennessee militia under Gen.
James White, aided by a party of
friendly Cherokees commanded by Col.
Gideon Morgan. The greater part of
the settlement was destroyed, some so
Creek indian warriors were slain, and
nearly 300 others taken prisoners. The
remarkable feature of the engagement
was the fact that not one member of
the attacking party was killed or seri-
ously wounded
(This Is one OF the regular features
OF The EI PasO HeraId.)
