A Very Cold Thanksqivinu,

Thanksgiving day in 1871 was re-
markable for the bitterly cold weather
which prevailed over large portion of
our land. At many points in the north
west the mercury fell from 80 to 40 de-
grees below zero, while at many places
in New England it marked from 13 to
20 degrees below. The great feature
of the day was a prizefght between
Jem Mace, the famous gypsy ex-cham-
pion of England. and Joe Coburn. an
sh-American pugilist, for the cham
pionship of the world and $4,000. It
was fought at Montgomery station,
near Bay st. Louis. Miss, and was
witnessed by 500 spectators. Neither
man seemed anxious to fight, and after
they had spared for three hours and
thirty Weight minutes without materially
damaging each other the referee de-
eclared the fight draw.

School Teacher Poisoned Herself before
Pupils.
Miss Marion Judd of Georgia, II
years old, died Wednesday morning
from the effects of paris green. which
she took soon after opening her school
the morning before in the district
where she taught. Her father accom-
panied his daughter to the schoolhouse
that morning and assisted her in start
ing the fire, after which he returned
home. Miss Judd opened the school as
usual and soon afterwards took the
on her desk. Then she went to a
spring outside of the building, scatter
ing the poison as she ran. School
Director Upton happened along about
that time and he found the teacher in
great agony the children crying. Miss
Judd was a recent graduate of Bellows
Free academy at Fairfax and during
the summer had worked at Highgate.
The only reason advanced for her sui
eide was that she had been over
| worked, causing dependency.

RICH DEPOSITS IN SPAIN

That Americans have nothing to fear
from the cutting of OF the potash supply
from Germany was brought out yester-
day In the annual report OF the Ameri-
can Agricultural Chemical Company,
which is one OF the leading manufacturers
Of fertilizer in this country.
Treasurer Doe of the company in his
remarks to the stockholders says
"Notwithstandin the severe competi-
ton, which has prevailed in all sections
of the country. the business of the COM
pany on the whole has been gratifying,
inasmuch as the aggregate sales Of all
OF its products during the year have in
creased s44l3.01S. being 1904 per cent
over the year 1919.
AS the imports OF potash probably
will be suspended during the European
war the company will he compelled To re-
ducc to some extent the amount Of potash
in its complete fertilizers. This neces'
s,ty is not viewed with misgivings. how
ever, az the amount OF phusphoric acid
in these fertilizers can readily be in
creased by corresponding equivalent.
1T Is the opinion of the management
that fertilizers thus manufactured VII
give fully as good results as tFose con
tanning more potash and less phoSphori'
acid, believing that the Importance OF
potash has been exaggerated and tn,
demand has been unduly Influenced by th'
propaganda OF the German potash syn
