TEACHING THE BOY TO PLOW
Praise and Help Are Always in Or
der Even If the Work Done
Is Poor.

Let me have hold of that plow,"
said father to his boy, who was do
ing the best he knew to turn good
furrow. ut does not seem to be in
you to make a good plowman."
Hurt, and his feeling of conscious
ability to do things much lessened, the
boy walked sadly away to other work,
while the father did, it is true, a fine
job of blowing. The father had helped
the field and hurt the boy.
Fine, son. fine" said another ia
ther that day to his son, also wrestling
for the first time with the problem OF
blowing. you are doing brayely.
Now, may l suggest that you lower
your heel wee bit and lengthen out
the braces a hole? You see the line
of draft is a trifle high. Let me show
you the principle Of the thing"
Together they counseled and tink-
cred. The lad started of again, do
ing better work, pleased, grateful and
confident. He had been given a no
table start toward success in life just
by that Dit of praise, enCouragcyrea
and teaching.

Although Switzerland has a com
paratively important fur industry, the
silverblack fox is not at present reared
In captivity in the republic It is the
intention, however, to start breeding
in some of the northern valleys.
About a year ago a skunk farm was
started near Lucerne, but no pelts
have been taken as the ranchers wish
to leave the animals undisturbed I'M
I'll they become more thoroughly acCli-
mated. Tho owners of this skunk
farm also contemplate obtaining some
fishers from Maine, as they have
found that in the canton NidWaldon
fne-haired marten are to be found.
Fishers, they believe do well where,
ever the martnn is found. This com
pany also raises foxes. There is n
Swiss association of furriers with
headquarters at Berne and branch as.
sociations in all the larger cities. Tho
fur industry ia growing in Switzer'
land, and it might pay American eX.
porters to ship breeding animals to
Europe.

Now is the time for farmers to cut
out the thistles in the Alsike or Sweeq-

from going to seed. The law does not
allow seed to be sold obtaining thistIes.
All thistles on the farm or roadside
ought to be cut of before they go to

DENIES MOTION
FOR A RECEIVER
JUDGE BEARDEN REFUSES TO
GRANT MOTION OF ELEC.
TRIO LIGHT co.

Judge Bearden this morning denied
the motion of the Mt. Pleasant Elec-
trio Light Company for a receiver
ship. The motion was denied under
both the first and second bills, which
the plaintiff has filed. The directors
of the company were seeking to have
it thrown into a receivership on the
ground that a public service corpor-
alton cannot enter into a lease with a
private individual. The defendant, Mr..
Cunningham, through his attorney,
Charles P. Hatcher, insisted that the
agreement between them was a con.
tract, and not lease, as the plaintiff
insisted, and that therefore the com.
pany had no right to annul it. His
point was sustained by the Chancel
lor in his decision.

BOOTLEGGER IS
In TOLLS OF LAW
CHARLEY BUNCH ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF DISPENSING
WET GOODS.

Charley Bunch was landed by the
officers Tuesday afternoon on a
charge of bootlegging. He was ar
rested down in the negro section on
Eighth street. Charley has been out
on an appeal of two cases, which are
lodged against him, one for assault
and battery, the other for selling Ii
quor without license.
Since he has been arrested again
on a charge of bootlegging, and the
evidence seems to be rather conclu-
sive, it is said that the appeals will
be withdrawn and that he will go to
the work house The officers assert
that they have the statement OF three
witnesses who have either bought
liquor from him, or have seen him dis
pensing it to others at so much per.
He was tried before Esq. Alexan-
der Tuesday afternoon at o'clock.
He waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury.

QUARANTINE At THE
LOUISVILLE STOCK
yAROS IS DAMAGING
MAURY FARMERS AND STOCK
DEALERS HURT IF 1T LASTS
LONG.
ARE HOPING FOR RELIEF SOON
All Recognize That the Quarantine Is
Just and Proper Thing to Stop Ep-
idemc of Foot and Mouth Disease,
But Want It Lifted Soon.

"The closing of the Bourbon Stock
Yards at Louisville is going to hurt
the live stock interests of the coun-
ty badly, if they are closed for any
length of time," said one of the lead
ing stock dealers of the county this
morning.
Speaking for myself, I have a load
Of hogs which are ready to ship right
now. l am going to have to feed
them until the quarantine is lifted.
OF course, if the yards are closed for
only few days, it will make but lit
tie difference. However, if no stock
is allowed to be shipped to Louisville
for the next thirty or sixty days, it
will do very considerable damage to
the farmers of the county.
II have heard from one of my GUS
toners near Chicago, and he says
that he thinks the quarantine Is a
matter of only few days. He be-
lieves that the epidemic of foot and
mouth disease will soon be stopped
by the federal and state authorities,
and that all of the stock yards of the
country will soon be open to re-
ceive shipments. If this is the case,
and l certainly hope that he is right
in his belief, we will feel but little
the effects of the quarantine.
II recognize the fact that the quar-
antine is perfectly just, and the cor
rect and proper thing for putting an
end to the disease. The authorities
have certainly gone after it in Wig
orous manner, and if the outbreak is
no more serious than the papers re-
port, then there is hope for relief at
an early date.

DAMAGES TO HOWELL

THIS Is THE THIRD TIME THAT
CAUSE HAS BEEN TRIED
BY COURT.

That Martin SIandered Howell.

After deliberating for several hours,
the jury in the case of, Jesse Howell
against DR.. George w. Martin, both
of Culleoka, for alleged libel, brought
in a verdict late Tuesday afternoon
for the plaintiff in the sum Of $500.
This is the third time that the case
has been tried before Judge Turner
in the circuit court. The first time
the jury gave Howell verdict for
$4,000. 1t was set aside by Judge
Turner on the ground that this. was
excessive, and new trial was order
ed. At the second trial, the jury
again gave Howell a favorable YER
dict, estimating that he had been
damaged to the amount of $2,750.
This verdict was likewise set aside
by the court on the ground that it
was excessive, and third and last
trial ordered.
The conclusion of this final trial of
the case resulted in a still further
reduction of the amount of damages.
Some of the jury thought that How
ell should have as much as $1,000,
while others were in favor of giving
him only $500. The two factions
compromised by setting the amount
of damages at $500.
