There must have been an awful time up in the neighboring town of Thomp- son during the hail storm of June 26 Chickens were fried by lightning and fruit split to smithereens, according to the most fanciful report of what the monstrous hail stones did to that peaceful town and it's products.
 It is related that the lightning, while playing around the farm of Or rim Whiting, was not otherwise over busy, so devoted time not only to cut ting down the pea vines but to she'll ing the peas. Dahlia beds were wiped out at the same place. according to this report, and the flowers probably taken to deck the brow of the goddess of Light.
 As late as Il o'clock on the day fol- lowing (this Is included in the official report) a solid chunk of ice formed by hailstones was found, the piece being more than foot in thickness! MT. Writings loss is now estimated as in excess of $500.
 Such are some Of the incidents of what Is described as the most severe storm of hail that ever laid waste beautiful Thompson.

HOW A YANKEE BOY FOUND
A WIFE IN THE SOUTH

In 1860 there came to Ken
lucky a young man from Ohio
by the name of E. G.. Madewell,
and being highly educated, was
employed to teach school in one
of the extreme Southern coun-
ties of the State. During his
term of school, Abraham Lin
coin was elected President, and
the war eagles began screaming
all over the land.
Kentucky, being a pronounc-
ed Southern State, made it very
dangerous and unpleasant for a
Yankee boy from Ohio to live
and mingle with the hot-blooded
Southern Kentuckians. One
night at my fathers home,
where this young man was re-
siding, a committee of three
"hot-bloods" walked in and in
formed him that he must leave
the State at once or they would
look for a rope. Immediately
preparations were made for his
departure, and at 10 o'clock he
babe us all good bye and left for
his Ohio home, being enraged by
the gross insult he had received
at the hands of his Southern
friends, and fired by the patriot
ism for the safety of his coun-
try-he enlisted in the "Twen-
ty-Second Ohio" one Of the
brave Ohio regiments that fol-
lowed Generals Grant and Sher-
man and took an active part on
the many battle fields during the
Civil War. After the bloody
battle of Chicamauga and Chat
tanooga, his regiment joined
the brave 100000" that followed

All Members Praise Work of

The appointment of this com

luton prompted by statements
made in advance sheets of the
biennial report of State Treas.
urer Edwin P. Deal, charging
unusual expenditure in the con-
duct of the departments inves-
tigated. Later these advance
sheets were very much changed
and corrected in the full report

in their compilation.
A majority of the committee

the report says, better discip-
line prevails, the prisoners are
better fed, they are given more
liberty and their health and gen.
eral welfare is better provided
for than ever before"
And the committee says that
all the State offices have been eff
ficiently and economically ad-
ministered and that a thorough
inspection of the books of the
various departments showed
them to check perfectly. That
all fees have been accounted for
and no monies illegally expend-

ORCHESTRAS COMBINE

An arrangement was effected
this week whereby the Ozark
Business University Orchestra
and the Pennington Young Peo-
pies Orchestra have been merg-
ed into one organization, under
direction of Mr.. William Cover.
The organization will hold its
rehearsals on Thursday evenings
at the University, and will be in
a measure identified with it, so
that incoming students who may
be unsteady inclined will have
the opportunity to play with an
orchestra if capable, and so the
University will have an orches-
ira available in connection with
any occasion requiring it. w.
S. Moothart will continue to play
first violin. Some of the young
people who have been members
Of both organizations found it
inconvenient to devote two ev-
enings weekly to rehearsals, and
as the membership was largely
duplicated under two different
names it was thought best to
combine the two into one. AL
though the Pennington Young
Peoples Orchestra has appeared
only twice in public it has made
very favorable impression and
promises to be quite as impor-
tant a feature of the musical
life of the town in its way as the
famous Young Peoples Orches-
ira of st. Louis, which has long
been sort OF goal Tor the ambl-
tious amateu of that city to hope
to reach as proficiency is dem
onstrated. 1t is Mr.. Covers
idea to afford any talented young
person an opportunity for self
improvement, without regard to
school affiliations, and in fair
ness to the organization, to
choose only those who prove
themselves worthy. While not
seeking engagements, it is the
intention to fill without charge
those accepted, and to accept
only a few so that creditable
work may be shown.

WHO OWN THE RAILROADS?

Time was when little All Sid
stuck up his hand and answered
teachers question by informing
that Vanderbilt, Gould and a
few others own all the railroads"
and the answer was correct.
Later on Wall Street held most
of the porprietorship. But the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion finds that there are now
622,284 persons owning the rail
roads at this time. Although
the railroads have complained
bitterly about new laws for their
regulation, the number of stock
holders has been doubled in the
last ten years. 1t is related that
it took eight thousand .Ameri-
can soldiers to wreck Mexican
railroad at Vera Cruz, although
three directors of the New Hav-
en- are supposed to have done a
more thorough job here at home.
But three or four United States
Senators regulated the whole
railroad bunch and made the
properties a safe investment for
honest people. At least the fig
ures seem to bear out this cou-
clusion.

The Flat River H. S. football
game scheduled here for Satur-
day has been Cancelled on account
of several of Flat Rivers play
ers having failed to make pass
ing grades for the first quarter
of school and only nine men of
the team remaining eligible.
Pennington also lost a good
player or two on that account
but still has several available
men with good grades to fill the
vacancy. A game with some
other team will doubtless be ar
ranged for Saturday.
The H. S. Girls Basketball
team will play the Flat, River
team in Flat River on Saturday
night. The game will be called
at 7 o'clock. A good game is as
sured, as the Flat River team is
a strong one and our girls are in
better condition than when they
played before.

tanned his Northern friends with
a social. Among those who at
tended was our young friend,
Madewell, who was looked on as
being the "brains of the corps of
civil engineers" On entering
Colonel Castleman's home, they
were gladly received and intro
duced to a circle of friends who
had gathered to make the even
ing pleasant. Many beautiful
ladies of the South were in at
tendance, especially Miss Jessie
Castleman, daughter of the old
Colonel, who, on entering the
parlor was requested to entertain
the guests with a selection of
music. Taking her seat at the
piano, she began playing "Kath-
leen Mavoureen." AS her sweet
rich voice shouted the beautiful
words Kathleen Mavoureen",
"the grey dawn is breaking, the
horn of the hunter is heard on
the HILL" no one was more inter
ested than young Madewell as
he sat and listened to that sweet
voice, exclaiming to himself 81
have heard that voice some
where, or is it a dream-no-no
i know | have heard it." After
the selection was finished, her
friends insisted she should rem
der another. Rising from her
seat she said, mo, that was the
song of my heart, and it had a
secret that made me love it"
No one was more eager to know
that secret than Madewell.
On leaving the home Of the
Colonel that night, he asked
Jessie if he might not call at
some future time. Giving her
consent, he returned to his home.
In his dreams he heard that
sweet voice and continually Won
dered where he had heard it. In
a few days he called again to
see Miss essie and knew the
great secret that made her love
Kathleen Mavoureen" so well.
She told him the story of how
she had passed so close to a
Yankee soldier lying wait to
take the life of her brother, and
how she had managed to save
his life by dressing him in her
clothing and aiding him to make
his escape. Madewell told her
he was the Yankee boy that lay
in wait for her brother and was
a trusted sentinel from General
Sherman's army, only doing his
duty as a soldier. During his
stay in Atlanta his calls at the
ColonePs home were frequent,
and when he left for his Ohio
home, it was to prepare a beau
tiful home in his native State
for Jessie.
This is a true story, as the
Fighter was a pupil of the school
taught by Madewell in 1860 and
met him often during the war,
and after the war he visited my
fathers family.

march to the Sea, enduring the
many hardships, fighting con-
tinuously everyday during the
siege while this grand army en-
circled the walls of Atlanta, the
metropolis of Georgia. Word
came to General Sherman that
Captain Castleman, a Confede-
rate officer, had made his way
through the federal lines and
was at his fathers home near
Atlanta. A trusted detail of
two brave boys was sent to this
beautiful Southern home with
instructions to capture this
brave Confederate officer, dead
or alive. With such instruc-
tons, E. G. Madewell, with one
of his comrades, in the stiffness
of the night, crept to this home
and laid down in the shrubbery
close to the house-one in the
front and the other in the rear.
Madewell took the front and laid
down near the front gate. Ev-
erything was still in the house
until about midnight when he
heard voices, seemingly ladies
entering the parlor. In a few
minutes several voices began
singing that beautiful old South
ern song, Kathleen Mavour-
een". AS the melody of that
sweet old song, accompanied by
rich and we'll trained voices,
were waited out in the balmy
Southern air, he laid there think
ing of his Ohio home and his
little Nellie sweetheart that had
sung the same sweet song to
him on their last parting. Tears
trickled down his cheeks as his
mind wandered back to his boy
hood home, and he seemed to
hear the sweet voice of his far
away Nellie. Only a few min
utes and his reverie was broken
by two young ladies coming out
of the front door and made their
way to the front gate; passing
so close to him that he could
have touched their dress skirts
with his bayonet or his gun.
They were elegantly dressed and
seemed to be happy, still hum
ming Kathleen Mavourine". He
had not long to wait, for when
they reached the gate he heard
a horse gallop off and instantly
knew that Captain Castleman
had made his escape to the Con-
federate lines. In a few min
utes the sister returned to the
house still humming the song.
At daylight he returned to his
camp and reported no one was
there.
After the war was over, Made
well, with thousands of others,
returned to their homes to take
up the many duties of life and
finish their educations. Made
well entered college and became
one of the finest Civil Engineers
in his State, so much so that his
services were sought by many
of the large corporations in the
construction of railroads. Es-
pecially was this true in the
South-corporations backed by
capital of the Northern States
were greatly needed to build up
and make a new South. Mil
lions of dollars and the best in
tellect of the North were sent
South in this great enterprise.
Our young friend Madewell was
engaged as a civil engineer in the
construction of a railroad rum
ming into Atlanta. The Southern
people who had lost all their
property and had met their
Northern friends on the many
battle fields, now received them
with that warm-hearted South

ey PeteS Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
ia seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce Of the sea. foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 51,OO0.-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbers and private enterprise levies
. toll Of approximately $50.00O,O0O
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs Of the farmer Of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee OF charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
OF transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid q heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
Its benefits as that Of q free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured.

There never was q time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning Of gov.
eminent, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes Of
politics and make them carry banners
In political PROFESSIONS. They have
taken the ministry to the mountains
top Of power and offered to make them
monarch Of all they surveyed, and
while most Of them have said. "get
thee behind me Satan" a few have
fallen with crash that has shgkep
