CARD OF THANKS.

We take this method of expressing
our thanks to our many friends and
subscribers who have been looming
across" so nicely of late with the
filthy lucre for their back subscrip-
tons and for renewals. 1t seems
that everyone seems to be thoroughly
pleased with our idea of placing our
subscription list on a business basis.
They all realize that under present
conditions it would be utter folly
for US to attempt to run it as hereto
fore-that is on a credit basis. We
are more than ever constrained to be-
lieve that we are not going to lose
half as many of our subscribers as
we at first thought. We published
last week for the first time our "Hon-
or Roll" and these people are by no
means all that have been taking adj
vantage of our offer to renew prior
to January /, 1917, at the old rate
of $1.00 per year. This list covered
only a short period. Again thanking
our friends who have paid up and ask.
ing you who are behind to please get
in your renewal as soon as possible
and don't wait until the last minute
for you might forget it, and then you
would lose SOC.

CATTLE DIPPED IN MISSISSIPPI

jackson, Miss, Nov. 9, 1916.
Data just completed by the local
office of the U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry, COS Milisaps Building,
Jackson, Miss, indicates that a total
Il 67,4O7 herds and 657,592 cattle
vas dipped in Mississippi during the
71onth of September. This is a
mailer number than was dipped dur
ing the previous month owing to the
fact that a large number of cattle
was shipped from the territory en-
gagged in dipping to the free markets,
and also by a number of cattle hav-
ing been released from dipping, the
process OF graduating the ticks hav-
'ng been completed. 1t is probable
hat twelve additional counties will
be released from Federal quarantine
at the close of this year, a number
of these counties having been en-
gaged in the work of tick eradication
but one year, which is conclusive evil
dence that the work of tick eradica-
ton can be accomplished in one year
provided all the cattle are regularly
dipped.
A total Of $50 dipping watts have
been constructed in the counties that
will engage in the work of tick eradi-
cation under the statewide law next
year. OF these, 100 were construct-
e, during September, and it is esti-
mated hat nearly every county in
the state will have completed vat
construction before the first Of the
year.

DANUBE: PORT OF BUCHAREST
Giurgevo Was Established by Genoese
Merchants on a Site That
Is Historic.

GiurgevO, the Roumanian border city
from which the Bulgarian town of
Rutschuk, on the south bank of the
Danube, was bombarded not long ago,
is the center of trade between the two
countries in peace times and is the
southern terminus Of the first railroad
built in Roumania, GS69), the line run
ming to the capital Bucharest, 40 miles
to the north. With Smarda, two and
half miles distant, it is the Danube
port for Bucharest and for all the rich
corn land which lies between the two
cities, says bulletin of the National
Geographic society.
Occupying the site Of ancient Theo-
dorapolis, founded by the Emperor JUS
tinian and named by him for his ia
nous actress wife, daughter of a bear
feeder Of the amphitheater at Constan-
tinople, the present city Of GiurgevO
was established by Genoese silk and
velvet merchants Of the fourteenth
century, who enjoyed the highly profit
able patronage of the finery-loving
mobiles of this rich agricultural dis
trict. The name is derived from
Genoa's patron saint, San Giorgio.
A short distance north of Giurgevo
there Is narrow defile which to Rou-
manians is one of the most hallowed
spots in the kingdom, for here Michael
the Brave In 1895 made a stand which
native historians compare with Their
mopylae. A tiny band of patriots with
stood the onslalr!hts of a Turkish army
overwhelmingly superior in numbers.
The Roumanians achieved notable
victory, their adversaries leaving three
pashas dead upon the field and the
grand viZier himself barely escaping
death in the neighboring marshes.
In the Turko-Russian war in 1771
the capture of GiurgevO was one of the
few successes of the decaying Ottoman
power.
Below this city the Danube wideps

islets, overgrown with willow trees. In
early summer the adjacent plains, pre-

good taste in reading. He had made
money all his life, and he had come to
realize with bitterness how it newt
ably ate into their happiness.
Three years before Nita, tired of
their friends, had surrounded herself
with literary hangers-on, including a
few embittered women who wrote
upon their wrongs and their sex's
wrongs for the press. Now all their
guests discussed things which he had
vague idea even married woman
should know nothing about. And they
talked Of literature till his head
ached.
They despised him, the pack of
them, especially since Nita had at
tanned fame with her first novel,
woman or MANI Ten thousand cop
les had been sold, and the press had
published extensive criticisms about it.
''The Sentinel of Lone Peak" his
wife's latest, was not a romance, as
the name might imply. The sentinel
was woman and Lone Peak was the
position of the lonely woman (Nita),
too advanced for her age, and misun-
derstood; also bound down by domes-
tic ties.
George was spoken Of as Mrs.
Latham's husband" He was an out
cast in their own home. Long-haired
poets trampled upon him, metaphor
ically speaking, and made love to Nita
under guise of syinpathy.
There was worse than that. Mia
had grown tired of him. She had
limited at divorce. She said that she
wanted to find her soul.
The quarrel was renewed on success
sive days. 1t was the old story of the
drudging husband and the brilliant
wife. Mia knew that she must take
the step-he never would.
"You ought to leave that man. He's
just dragging you down." said Miss
Tasseler, author of "The Conquering
Sex?" delicate satire which some
had pronounced indicate. "Come
with me to the lecture tonight, by Mil
dred Burns. She has been married
five times, you know, and she says
there's no possibility Of real woman
living happily with man. It will
open your eyes,"
Nita went. George stayed at home,
smoking, and dreaming of the things
Mia had refused to like. He didn't
want literature in his home he wanted
a pair of childish arms about his neck.
The lecture had been advertised ex-
tensively, and, to the disgust of Miss
Tasseler, the back seats were filed
with motley crew who had come to

silent and motionless.

Mia sat Mortified in her seat. She
glanced at Miss Tasseler, but that lady
was leaning forward, intent upon Mil
dred Burns speech, and had not heard
a word Of the dialogue behind them.
Mia felt a sense Of disgust thrill
her. So that was what the covert sar-
