DRUNKEN row il BULLION

There was a drunken row in Bull

Monday morning that resulted in
"Micky'' O'Donnell getting badly
beaten. From what we can learn,
it seems that O'Donnell and a man
named Rowland were sleeping to-
geher in the formers cabin. Dur

against the cabin. He went out to
stop the racket end on his return

The proportion Of rural population

standing the enormous. concentra-
ton Of population, around New
York City and Philadelphia. The
figures for these three states are
1a.500.000 in cities to 1905 900

Ohio to Wisconsin. which a genera

tural, the city dwellers and country
dWellers r nov about equal,
there being about 5000, 900 of the
former to 10, 0O0,OOO Of the latter.
In all the territory south of the
Ohio and west of the Mississippi the
rural population is far in excess.
or in other words. there are in the
various sections from three to six
|dwellers in the country for every
one person dwelling in the city.
In the three states bordering on
the Pacific coast the city jewellers
and rural dwellers is about equal.
On the other hand, there are
thousands of towns and villages
scattered all over the country with
from 1000 to 5000 population
which have public water supplies,
public lighting systems, paved
streets and sidewalks, municipal
schools. facilities for the public
amusement and recreation, and
other city advantages of city life.
The trend Of population from the
farms to the towns and villages
during the last quarter century has
been as notable as the growth Of
the large cities.
If then a comparison were made
between the dwelfers on farms and
those who are living in either cities
or villages. the total population
living where they have advantage
of community life would be far
greater than. the census estimate of
nearly 40 million city dweliers.

OLD GLORY UNKNOWN
Children in Southwest Never Have
Seen Large American
Flag.

Somewhere out in the great southwest.
where houses are few and far between,
and where troop of soldiers is seldom
seen, there is school full Of children of
all ages up to sixteen who have never
laid their eyes upon a real, good sized
American fiag-the kind that makes the
fighting blood tingle in an Americana
veins.
The teacher of this school, evidently de-
string to stir up some of the patriotic
blood Of his scholars. wrote to Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department, ex-
planning that except for two very small
flags. which the teacher took to the school
when he went there, these children had
never seen an American flag, and asked
the Secretary to assist in getting a large
one. This is new country" wrote
the teacher, land is. consequently, not SO
well off financially. I thought it might
please the department to assist US In our
struggle by supplying our school with a
flag
Secretary Zane denied the request of
this teacher. simply because the govern
ment makes no provision for supplying
flags to public schoo s. The county in
which this school is located has an area
of $40 square miles and has a population
of 1,4I4. Officials of the department last
night would give no definite information
as to the location Of the school.

When the weather doesn't turn out just
as the weather man predicted, don
Diane him. He is just victim of cir
cumstances, in that after he had 1t all
figured out that a storm known to be
travelling at a certain speed and cover
ing a certain area would reach certain
point and remain there definite length
of time. something came along and upset
his calculations. The planets don't hold
any secrets about the weather Just for
the weather man.
It's just a plain, everyday business of
figuring, much the same as a man in
commercial life orders shipment of
goods and calculates that 1t will arrive
at a specified point at certain time.
simply by figuring when and where the
train starts and how long 1t takes to
travel the distance. Well. place the
weather man in the same latitude with
the business man. and you will get an
idea as to just how the weather is pre-
dicted and why the weather man some
times goes wrong. as when he failed to

CLARENDON PLANS
TO SEEK CHARTER

HANDICAPPED BY INABILITY

Permanent System of Highways
Sought for Alexandra County.
To Get Fire Apparatus.


By reason OF the fact that its board of
supervisors is handicapped through not
being able to bond the county for a
sufficient amount to pay for public inn
provements, the Clarendon Citizens AS
ISOLATION last week decided to endeavor
to have the Virginia legislature enact
law which would relieve them of this
setback and at the same time not over
burden Alexandria county with the ex-
pense of the upkeep of a city form of
government. What the association de-
sires is something on the middle ground
between the county and the city forms
Of government
The county board Of supervisors some
time ago named a committee. headed by
Police judge r. Gordon Finney. to look
into the advisability of applying to the
legislature for a city charter for the en-
tire county. and to submit to the board
a draft of such a charter. Judge Finney
last week addressed the Clarendon asso-
citation on the matter of the proposed
city charter. with the result that the as
ISOLATION decided that although the pres
ent form of government was far from
satisfactory the time did not appear to
be ripe for city government with its
multiplicity of officials and the obliga-
ton to maintain it's own workhouse and
refOrmatory

A committee which had been appointed
to urge upon the board of supervisors the
necessity for street lights reported that
contract had been let to light the
roads by electricity, and that the schedule

To Get Fire Apparatus.
The president, e. E. Wilson, as chair
man of a committee appointed to urge
the supervisors to purchase ire-fighting
apparatus for the protection Of property
in the county, reported that the board
had promised, out of the next levy, to re-
serve sufficient funds for this purpose
and, further. had assured the commit
tee that if the citizens associations In
each district would purchase such ap-
paratus now they would be reimbursed
