Another Jitney.

Here comes Hugh Fullerton,
laying aside for a moment his
attacks on organized baseball
and his answers to love cynics,
with an origin of the word
"jitney."
William H. T. Shade, my old pal
and a fellow known to all the
old-time ministries and most Of
the musicians in America, who
has retired to run his own
country paper, has come to bat
with the first plausible explain
ton of the origin of the word
jitney, which suddenly has come
into prominence through the
jitney buses.
"Shad was musician, manager,
advance agent, actor, poet,
author, theatrical man, printer,
reporter, composer, song writer,
and much else. He was business
manager of the old Cleveland
and Haverly ministries in the
palmy days of minstreldom,
cornet soloist, band master with
a circus, business manager, press
agent and saxaphoue soloist, Or
chestrator and a few other things
for Signor Liberati. He ought to
know.
He says the word jitney is
derived from the work jetton
a work Anglicized from the
French and meaning a small
metal disc used in gambling
houses instead of checks. The
word is in good usage in English
and is found in Webst er.
According to Shade, a min
strel troup was playing in Lake
Providence, La, many years
ago. Some of the negroes in that
district had secured a supply of
these metal discs, probably from
some New Orleans or Baton
Rouge French gambling houses.
The discs were about the size of
nickels, and when the box Office
man came to count up the receipts
from the gallery he found a
quart or two of jettons. which
the negroes referred to as jit-
neys. The minstrel men took
up the expression jitney, and
used it when referring to a
nickel, and it spread rapidly,
especially among the negroes
who, in many parts of the
country, use no other name for
a Scent piece.

YEARS. DEEPEST SNOW.
Fall of Several Days Delays
Mails And Makes the
Roads impossible.

The greatest fall of snow of
this year and one of the severest
in its effect effect on traffic that
has been known here for several
years, commenced the middle of
last week and continued with
brief intervals of rest until Mon
day of this week, although the
severest fall had been registered
by Friday night.
The crest of the storm was
here Friday and it was on that
day that its worst effect were
noted. 1t resulted in the block
ade of the car tracks here, the
irregular running of trains and
the failure of the rural carriers
to make their routes Friday,
while the roads were nearly i'm
passable.
The roads had been in fierce
condition for a week and the
fall of snow on the mud added
to the troubles already existing
until Friday, the roads were
about given up for use excepting
with lightest rigs and the
strongest of horses. The mud
and snow was hub deep. Thurs
day, the local cars got stuck in
the snow and Friday the cars
did not make the trip to the sta
ton until afternoon. 1t was me-
cessary to get a force of about
20 men out on the job to remove
the snow and mud before the
cars could make the usual trips.
The mail service was irregular
owing to the trains making slow
time and the rural carriers had
the hardest trip of their ca reers
Thursday. One man said he
would not make the trip again
for 500. Friday, they gave it
up and did not make the rounds
at all as horses were not to be
had. Liverymen refused to let
their horses out for road york
that day. Four horses were
needed for usual loads and the
oil wagon with tank was brought
here Friday from Salisbury by
using three teams of big horses.
Coal and wood has been scarce
and the scarcity of this fuel en-
phasizes more that ever the need
of a surplus supply somewhere
in town also that people who run
short may get it as it Is impossi-
BILE for teams to haul it from the
small mines in the country.
The snow seems to have been
somewhere between ten and four
teen inches on the level and in
many places it had drifted high
and deep. Teams were mired
almost anywhere along the coun-
try roads, especially through the
low lands and everyone who had
to go any place, did the trip
horseback if possible. 1t was
hard work for even this method
of travelling. The sun came out
Monday and commenced to melt
the snow which bade fair to put
the river and creeks over their
bank and flooding the lowlands
with the largest volume Of wa
ter that has been seen here for
a long time.

Wheat dropped in a few days
nearly 2Octs. on a report that in
case the allies captured Constan-
tinople there would be 155,000,-
bushels of wheat liberated from
Russia. This week, in spite of
the fact that it appears that the
Allies have a prospect of getting
thru the Dardanelles, wheat has
regained what was lost and for
tunes made in a few days.
Don't be surprised if July wheat
finally reaches $3.50 and biscuits

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENT.
Something Of the Good Work That Has Been Done and What Should
 Be Done in the Future.

In no public enterprise or improve ment is civic pride more commend ably displayed than in beautifying and in keeping in proper condition the city cemeteries It is not only a civic obligation, but il is a duty we owe to the memory of our loved ones who are sleeping there.
 In the busy rush of everyday life and in the struggle to maintain our selves upon a higher plane than that of a mere existence, we are apt to be- come neglectful of and indefferent to the demands of an obligation which i've should consider a privilege and an honor to discharge of keeping the graves of our loved ones green and the silent city" in order.
 The real sentiment connected with this work, which should be consid- cred labor of love. ought to he culti- yated until 1t creates within us a pleasurable longing to show that re- spect and love for the memory of our dead reflected in a beautifully kept cemetery. When our relatives and friends are tenderly laid away. a pail of gloom and sorrow has fallen upon household somewhere, and the hearts of those left behind have been cruelty pierced by gried so deep and so poignant that only time can as suage We return to our homes after the funeral and there We notice a vacant chair in the dining and living rooms, a familiar garment hangs in the wardrobe but the former occu- pant and wearer is gone. How deso- late home seems How keenly we feel the absence of the one so re- gently laid away We think of a thou sand things which we might have done, but neglected to do, for the comfort and pleasure of this relative just consigned to the tomb
 Now, let's make up in part at least for some of this neglect of the living by showing tEe proper respect and love for the memory of the dead. in keeping the grave and the silent home in order This can be accom- plisAed by cooperation and unity of action on the part of those whose friends sleep there The expense to each individual will be insignificant if all make contribution to the main tenance fund.
