The demonstration fund is not grow
ing as rapidly as it should grow. We
realize that times are close in money
matters, but we must rid Fayette
county of conditions which make us
suffer more than other sections because
Of hard times, and there can certainly
be no better way to get away from
these conditions than by following the
advice of the agricultural department
at Washington thru its authorized agent
in this county. His work in the past
year proved beyond doubt its value in
dollars and cents and 1t would never do
for US to let 1t go.
The Falcon is trying to raise by sub
scription $500 to make out the salary,
the government paying $4OO. the county
court $500. We have now little less
than half the necessary amount. We
are sending out this week letters to
many friend of the movement and we
hope to receive ready responses to
make up the desired $500. Wont you
answer promptly and tell US what you
will pay, so that we can wind up the
SUBSCRIPTION list for the yearf Remem-
Der that where you can not pay now,
it can be paid in the fall. but the sub
scription should be made now. Let
The Falcon hear from you at once.

Some people wonder why a pretty
woman will marry an ugly man. There
is nothing strange about it. They
know that pretty" man is vain and
conceited over his good looks, and be-
cause of it, is likely to be overbearing
and look down with condescension upon
his wife and to make her feel that he
has done her a great favor to marry
her, and that he is more liable to fiirt
with other women who run after him
because of his good looks. On the
other hand, she knows that an ugly
man, because of his homeliness, and
who wants to keep her affection, will
exert himself to be more attentive to
her. That is why our better seven
eights selected US.

Douschka married at twenty and died
at twenty -one leaving twin girls who
are now married and living in South
Carolina. Lucy had beautiful young
sister named Anna, who, while upon a
Mississippi steam boat returning from
New Orleans. was accosted by a pro-
fessional gambler who piled his trade
upon the boat and presumed to address
her. Now, in those days his kind we've
not allowed to associate with gentle
folkes. Anna was very indignant and
haughtily said to him, "Sir, if had a
dagger l would stab you. The
gambler reached inside of his waistcoat,
drew out one and presented it to her
with bow never dreaming that she
would do what she said, but she snatch
ed the dagger from his hand and did
stab him, and the Captain of the boat
put him off at the neat landing serious
ly wounded. She never knew whether
he lived or died. She afterwards
married and moved to Texas.

moved back to it's present location
when the old Female College was built.
In her youth she was Lucy Holcome
and was wooed and won by a Mr..
Pickens, distinguished politician from
Kentucky, but she told him that before
she would marry him he would have to
get the appointment from the President
as minister to England. She said af-
forwards that she would have married
him anyway, but she knew that he in
tended to run for Governor of his native
state and that she wanted the prestige
of being the wife of the American Min
ister to the court of st. James. He left
Immediately tor Washington, but found
upon his arrival there that the position
had been filled. However, he readily
obtained the appointment as Minister
to Russia and returned and laid his
commission at her feet. They were
married and Immediately left for St.
Petersburg, which has been lately
changed by the present Gear on account
of it's German form of name to Petro-
grad. While there, was born their only
child, a daughter, and the then Car, who
was afterwards blown up by anarchists
while presiding at state dinner in the
royal dining room of the palace and
who was father of the present Gear,
was so charmed by the beauty of Mrs.
Pickens that he and his wife stood as
Godfather and Goo. mother at the
christening of her daughter and gave
her the name of Douschka, which in
Russian means my Darling. This
was and is now very sacred rite of
the orthodox Greek Church of Russia,
and the Godfather and God-mother
take vow at the Christening that in
case Of the death of the parents of the
child they will adopt it and raise it as
their own, and every year until his
death, after her return to America.
Douschks received at the Russian
Christmas time letter from the Cars
personal Secretary conveying the Cars
greetings. At the death of the then
Gear the present Gear assumed every
obligation of his father and Douschka
continued to receive those letters until
her death, and at the time of her
marriage to Mr.. Dugar, she received
from him through the Russian Embas-
sador at Washington a set of diamonds
that was appraised by the American
government at value of ten tho usand
dollars, but were admitted free of duty
on account of the royal sender, and
were sent to her by the personal hands
of the First Secretary of the Russian
Embassy. Upon the return of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pickens to America, they located
in South Carolina, and MIR. Pickens was
the war Governor of that state during
the Civil War and signed the first pro-
clamation of any Southern state seced-
ing from the Union, and it was then
that her picture was printed upon the
notes Of currency of the Confederate
gov, rnment. Douschks, herself, was
a woman of great beauty and during
the reconstruction days after the war

The fact that Houston. Galveston

greater expense.
