Inc curse Of the Cheap SHOW

Leesburg has had an example here the past week Of the
rse Of the cheap show The alleged comedy and music
company here was nothing but cheap travelling patent
medicine concern which took away many good dollar that
should have been spent in Leesbmg with the merchants
here The comedy and musical features were merely a
for the painless extraction Of dollars from the
popuace who we're foolish enough to get sug by paying
nigh price for cheap worthless medicines
Merchants Of Leesburg, can't you where such al
legged shows as these rob you Of many good doars you
amt then YOU are indeed blind you do this and
its significance then Why not ahate this NUS
ance? The crowd Of am artists here last week escaped
paving single dollar into the city treasury for license
they left practically not single dollar here Their alleged
music and comedy was no good Then where did Leesburg
derive any benefit from the propositions
The takers escaped paying any license by carrying
around with them confederate veteran What patheuc
sight to see man who has the Gray made party to
such fraud which enacted from town to town throughout
the STATED The editor Of The Journal yields to man in
and respect for the who the Gray but
God pity the veteran who sells his brhrght for mess Of
potage The veterans who become partner to such fraud
and deceit drag the traditions and good name OF the South
n the very me Of shame They no longer deserve the re-
meet which every Southern heart has for the heroes OF 81
There is surely heros left in the breast OF such men,
there was any there The real veterans dsown them
thew are outcasts among their comrades plague to
honest trade and honest men.
This the first nstament of this kind OF bunco shows
that has appeared here this shoud Also be the last
All over the State the business rising in arms against
the cheap show and the cheap carnival menaces alike to
the morals and business community Is Leesbg to stand
idly by and allow good cash be take away from this town
all the winter by the cheap show the flying jenny and SINH
lar nuisances? 1.-THE Journal knows the mayor the board
Of aldermen and the people Of Leesbg rightly this paper
does not believe that they will subject the people OF the city
to this public nuisance any longer The power and auhor
y Of the municipality should be summoned to relieve the
citizens of Leesburg of this nuisance.
A good, clean show or amusement as well worth the
money paid to see it. 1t benefits the people, they
receive their moneys worth The editor ofslhe journal
would not wish to be misunderstood in this particular for
he likes good show and goes to every one ne can But
the cheap worthless show abominaton to every COM

Keep Sidewalks and Streets
Clean.

lent it about time for the peo-
pie Of Leesburg to get busy and
keep the streets and sidewalks
clean Of pieces Of paper and other
rubbish that detracts so much from
their appearances and invaribly
shows slovenliness? What's themat-
ter with the city that garbage cans
are not required at all the stores
and other business houses, where
waste paper and other trash may
be kept until it is removed by a
street.wagon2
1t invariably gives visitor an
unfavorable impression of town
on city when the streets and side
walks are Uttered with old papers,
trash and other unsightly objects.
Why not begin now and remedy
this matter9 The main trouble at
first is 70 get the streets clean, then
keep them clean. An ordinance
can be passed that will compel
owners of stores and other public
buildings to keep their premises
clean. It is not too late to begin
this good work now.
A spirit Of indifference and care
lessness in this particular has been
allowed too long to exist here. 1t
has grown to be a habit with many
to dump trash right out on the
sidewalk in front of stores or other
buildings. It should be stopped.
Common cleanliness and decency
demand that it should be stopped.
A spirit Of pride and cleanliness
should exist where now it is largely
absent. Why should not the ladies
Leesburg take the lead in this
work. Every good citizen Of Lees
burg viii be behind them in it. Let
it begin at once, too, for there are
many visitors coming here who do
not gain as good an impression of
Ieesburg as they should, for this
very reason alone.

ALASKA'S CALL
FOR ATTENTION

The disastrous tidal wave that
partly overwhelmed the Alaskan
City of Nome has aroused friendly
sympathy in the rest of the United
States. Substantial gifts of mon
ev have been made. The people OF
Alaska will BIZ grateful for this
help in time of need. But they
would be glad to see this opportun-
ity for friendly ministration wholly
ignored, if they could have in its
place some attention and needed
legislation from Congress.
Alaska exported $4,000, 900
worth of produce in 1912, six times
more than Uncle Sam, said for the
whole territory. 1t is sometimes
asserted that Alaska has a larger
proportion of college men than any
state in the union. But the call
for careful study of its needs and
decision upon some settled land
and mining policy remains unheard.
AS result its population, practi-
cally stationary fur dozen years,
is unsettled and partly nomadic.
There is no secure basis of fegisla.
tion on which to build industrial
life and institutions.
A prominent Massachusetts manu-
facturer remarked the other day
What country owns Alaska now
anyway" And most of these peo-
pie who could answer this element
airy question have but the haziest
idea of the wonderful possibilities
of Alaska with its territory twice
the size of Texas, and of its press
ing needs.
AS a result of the quarrel over
the question of the conversation
of the coal lands, the United States
owns lot of idle coal property.
1t will neither sell it, give it away,
lease it, or operate mines itself. If
a private individual did that with
his own property. he would be call
ed senile, and a guardian would be
appointed. Congress should agree
on some decided line of policy, and
set loose the wonderful stores OF
energy ready to labor at the bid
ding of man.

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Was the "Forbidden Fruit" in the
Garden of Eden.

Why and how It has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den of Eden is one OF the great puz-
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 8, where the incident
of the eating of this fruit of the Tree
of knowledge of Good and Evil" is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. al that is said is: And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it Twas
pleasant to the eyes, aid tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took Of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, aud gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse 81.
In fact scholars doubt very serious.

They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the ounce, fragrance
of which was held in the highest es-
TEEN by the Orieutals. Another point
in favor of the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in great many
of the ancient writings the Quinces is
very frequently mentioned in this man.

PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From the Mississippi Only
Slightly Second in Demand to
Deep Water Products.

Arkansas is the greatest pearl pro-
ducing state in the Union, and hun.
dreds OF men engage In the pearl
hunt. 1t is said that the fresh water
pearl Of Arkansas Of the highest class
cannot be distinguished from the fin
est deep sea jewel. Throughout the
south generally thousands of people
follow the pearl fishing industry and
make a comfortable living at it. Up
to a few years ago the jewel wealth
contained in the river beds of the
Mississippi valley was completely hid
den. 1t was not supposed that the
fresh water mussel was a pearl bear
er, or that it had any value except for
fish bait.
The fresh water mussel is sought
now not only for the precious stone it
may have hidden in it's shell, but for
the shell itself, which is manufac-
tured into stick pins, cuff links, and
buttons of every description. The
shell fisheries have for years extend
ed far up the Mississippi river. A re-
cent writer on the subject puts fresh
water pearls into four classifications
true pearls, baroques, slugs, and
chicken feed.
The first, Or true, pearls are of a
definite shape, and regular form,
round, oval, or pear shaped. These
command the highest prices. Baroques
are pearls of irregular form. Slugs
are low grade baroques. The smaller
size, the kind used in inexpensive
though genuine and neat jewelry, go
by the professional name of chicken
feed.

Wordsworth on Real Estate.

There is an interesting story OF
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. G. Benson IN the Cen.
fury Magazine. There was q gathering
of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for n long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and it will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life."
He paused for moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine
gesture, continued:
"Your property will certainly be
trebled in valg9 within the next ten
yearsi"
