Much Unexplored Land

Polar exploration is not the most
important to the worlds progress, al
though the knowledge it affords of
glaciology, meteorology, geology and
terrestrial magnetism, gives it a high
practical value. There are millions of
square miles of uneXplored country in
more temperate zones, however, which
are of greater importance.
Europe is the only country in the
world which possesses no uneXplored
land. North America comes next, al
though half a century ago, North
America as a whole was no better than
is Africa to-day. Thousands of miles
of its northern portions are still un-
known except to few Indian trap
pers.

R.D. Williams Expresses Appreciation

To the People of Grenada County:
1t has been the rule of my life to try
to compensate every one who did me
favor or kindness by doing a similar
favor. or in some other way, but in my
present situation find myself unequal
to the task of returning favor for fa-
vor or thanking each individual in the
county personally for what was done
for me during this campaign; | there
fore take the opportunity of using the
press for saying to the people of the en-
tire county that | consider myself un-
der lasting obligations for the many
good things done for me while making
canvass for the office of Chancery
Clerk. | feel that am a better citi-
zen by having made the race | made
an honest fight and when it is consid-
cred that | was in the race with two
gentlemen. one who had only missed
the office once before by the narrow
margin OF two votes, and the other one
somewhat seasoned and skilled in the
art of politics, feel that | received a
remarkably big vote. To my friends
who took off their coats and worked so
faithfully for me, | feel peculiarly
grateful and my keenest regret is at
their disappointment | drop out of
the canvass with no unkind feeling to-
ward anybody and wish one and all the
best there is in life. Very truly,
R. D. Williams.
