| Last Wednesday morning [ July
28th) barn belonging to Mr.. J. S,
Nagle, who lives about eight miles
east of Iuka, caught on fire and
was completely DESTROYED. The
barn contained about 100 tons of
fine hay, 1000 bushels of corn and
most all of the vehicles and farm
ing implements. There were eight
or nine head of stock in the barn
when it caught but all were saved
except one mule valued at about
two hundred dollars. There was no
Insurance and the loss falls very
heavily on Mr. Nagle. especially
at this time as he has had other
financial losses recently. Mr.
Maggie thinks the fire the work of
an incendiary. Loss about $1,000.
No insurance.
Those who heard Miss Lucille
Walker last Friday night give an
account of her recent trip on the
Beauty Special were most de-
lightfui.y entertained. This was
a magnificent trip, one to be re
membered for a life time and
Miss Walkers account cf it was
exceedingly interesting. The vo-
cal solos by Miss Shockley and
the violin solos by Mr. Campbell,
accompanied by Miss Carmack on
the organ, were also treats which
the audience enjoyed.

"The Man of Sorrows"

The sad have their summons as well
as the glad, and the desolate, like the
blessed. must answer to the great call
of the Christ spirit wAich rings through
the world. He whose sacred birth we
celebrate was above all else man OF
sorrows. To many human heart this
is the dearest Of his titles. Whoever
bore trouble as ne did? Whoever SO
grandly lifted the burden? Who so
quietly and patiently and pleasantly, II
one may say so, accepted the cruelest
Of lots? Who so flung his own misery
out of sight and sound? Who so ut
terly quenched himself and his per
sonal pang in the happiness and The
comfort OF others? There he stands
sorrowful and smiling, spotless mir
ror.

Che first Cbristmas

There were no mother dreams for her
Whose little son was born King,
Though wise men came with gifts and
myrrh
And star led Shepherds worshiping,
For she foresaw the binding tears
The heartache and the bitter loss
That lay beyond the waiting years
Within the shadow Of cross.
And when she held his little form
Against her heart that Christmastide
She knew the hollow Of her arm
Would one day shield the Crucifed.
And thus denied the hopes OF old
To which maternity has chung
The story Of her life is told,
And at its end a cross Is hung.
q mothers, you whose lips have known
The sweetness of childs caress,
Yet stand today bereft, alone,
With hearts that ache with emptiness,
Turn to that woman, weary eyed
And pierced by LIES supremest loss.
Whose mother love was crucihed
Whose hopes were shadowed by Z
cross.
And when the Christmas bells proclaim
The advent Of the Saviours birth
And far and wide his holy name
Goes ringing through the listening ear't
Then let new hopes ascend like myrrh
From you whom grief has glorified
And sorrow made akin TO her,
The mother of the Crucifed!

Big Triumph Assnr.ed.


The prospect#of Republican triumph
q clean sWeep--was never brighter
and the Telegram Is fully convinced
that the citizenry Of Clarksn1urg will
elect the entire ticket headed by that
ideal candidate for mayor, G. Harry
Gordon, and thus guarantee an eflic-
lent, patriotic government of the city
The next twelve months. The election;
#of the Republican ticket will mean
that there will be a fair and impartial
administration of the affairs. OF the
city, entirely void or prejudice and
selfish design. 1t will ensure an adj
mini s'tration on broad and fine bust
ness lines, a government with the pub
lie welfare uppermost at all times.
Y The conduct OF the campaign on
the part of the Republican candidates
and press has been open and above
board, clean and fair in every respect
There has been no cloud of mystery
connected with their actions, no ques-
ton as to where they stand and what
they are doing, no doubt as to who
and what they are. no questions as to.
whether they are Repub1 leans and
patriotic citizens, loyal to the needs
and welfare Of the city. They have
not done like some, that Is to say, play
that they belong to the party in order.
to get Office or to keep down suspicion.
They have not changed their politics
in order to get nomination for
Office They have not done like some
other, namely, vote one ticket for
years and derive benefits at2the hands
of a Republican administration by
being given positions in city depart.
ments, and then flop IN order to get.
nominations. There is no doubtful
quantity about them They stand by
their political colors #
1t Is admitted by the opposition
even that no better ticket Was ever in
the field here than that headed by
Harry Gordon. Everyone knows those
nominees to be efficient men in their.
various lines of busin ess, men who
are regarded as safe and sane in all
affairs affecting the general public
men who have the implicit confid ence
of the community for honesty, in
tegrity, and capability Just such men
as these appeal to the citizenry of
!Clarksburg and that their candidacy
will be approved ait the polls Tuesday
seems fOregOne conclusion. Public
sentiment is cIystalzed in their favor
There has been nothing to reverse
public senttme mt from the start, which
sentiment SO strongly favored the
Gordon ticket that its triumph was
assured from the moment 1t was noInf-
mated. That sentime nt has grown
stronger day after day and it spells az
big victory for Harry Gordon and all
those on the ticket with him Tuesday

DefIr,it Illustration,

The persistent claim OF the Demo
cratic administered lon that the de-
preston In business Is due entirely
to the war does not hold when the
effects on the tariff bill are accounted
for the depression was In evidence
long before the war, began and t was
directly traceabl to the Underwood-a
Simmons bill J. which was not only de-
fictent as revenue raiser. but cor
facturers to come In and take the
home market away from the Amerl-3
can who could not compete with the
low priced labor or Europe.
One of the most striking object
lessons of the advantage Of the Eu-5
ropean manufacturer has over his
American competitor without pro
tective tariff was contained In a
statement recently made by w. II.
Morgan. an Al 1iance. @. \, manufactur-a
er. In order to secure definite infor-5
nation as to how the Democratic tar
ff would work he advertised for pro-
posals on certain steel castings, sim
liar by the way, to those manufacture
ed by his own company. The repre-
sentative Of the German concern call
ed on him. In response to the adver-.
tisemeflt and solicited the business.
The price quotatf on the castings
was about one-half what his Alliance
company was getting for them Mr.
Morgan was amazed and asked the
German how 1t could be done The
explanation was that the minimum
wage paid for American labor re-
.quired on the casting was So. so La day.
whereas the maximum IN Germany
was s1.50. In fact, Mr.. Morgan was
Informed that the German factories
could deliver steel castings in this
country at about the price charged
for iron castings.
It is true that the war has a pres
Sent effect on industry and trade in
this way, that it is acting as pro-
tective tariff IN disturbing the indus
trial conditions In the be1ligerent
countries and the interruptio of traf-
fic between the United States and the
nations at war When the war Is
over and industry and ocean traff,:
resume their normal con dit1ons then
we shall see the effects of the unfn-
terrupted Democratic tariff In great
er depression than has yet been ex-
perience d.-W ceiling Intelligencer.

is lined by tropical forest, except
where 1T has been cleared to plant

Although a land of tropical jungle,
there arc seasons at Forrnosa, and at
