WHICH HE DID TWICE REFUSE.

The Colonel says it's pipe dream Geo.
w. Perkins has already made pilgrimage
to Sycamore Hill to ask him about 1920
What tenders George brought from the Old
Guard, and what reply he was commits
stoned to bear back to the Swag Snatchers,
we have no means of knowing, because he
of Oyster Bay refuses absolutely to dis
cuss those little tete-a-tetes
But does the Colonel think it is pipe
dream? This is what he also told the re-
porters: / want it clearly understood that
no amount of visits or talk can induce me
to speak of the 1920 nomination."
Instead of denying the rumor, he rather
confirms the impression He won't talk
about the nomination to the papers
meaning the time is little premature, but
he knows what he knows (and he hopes to
goodness George Perkins does, tool.
JULIUS Caesar at least refused the crown
three times-though he wanted it-and but
tor his untimely demise, might have gone
on to this day wagging his head and
making faces at the Roman populace for
cheering him. But Roosevelt's limit seems
to be twice. The Colonel declared he was
out OF politics in 1912. and discovered the
River of Doubt; he declared he was out of
politics last June when he lost the nomina-
ton and started big I-campaign: but the
third time, when Mary Anthony Perkins
tenders him the 1920 coronet, he doesn't re-
fuse. He says it is a pipe dream, but does
not deny. A dream is easily gotten rid Of
can the Colonel mean that 1920 is ''pipe?''

GADSDEN LEARNS HOW.

Gadsden county, in former years, inn
ported corn, but-never again This year
Gadsden not only raised enough for its
needs, but has already exported twenty-five
carloads of the golden grain, and before the
season is over it will probably have shipped
hundred cars to the less fortunate regions.
The saving on imports and the profits on
exports-it sounds like slang, but Gadsden
county farmers are literally making money
coming and going.
Being so efficient in this line, it is hardly
necessary to say that Gadsden is successful
in other fields of agriculture as well. The
cane crop was good and the syrup yield IS
expected to be greater than usual. We
haven't the details, but would be willing to
wager DIETING being barred) that the
cattle and the hogs and the gardens are
better than usual, too.
It's as easy to know this as it was for the
Arabian Nights tale to describe the camel
and its load without ever seeing it.
Corn raising is a barometer of agricul-
tutal success; it is the farmers financial
pulse. If he raises corn he is prosperous
if he buys it, he isn't.

Rev. and Mrs. Vermilya served de-

tice to the elegant repast that had
been prepared for them. The decora-
lions were emblematic Of Valentines
Day, hearts being very much in evil
dence, beautiful carnations and potted
plants also added to the attractive
ness of the dining table. After the
inner man had been satisfied, a motion
was made to reorganize the class, and
Gordon Vallandigham was elected
president for the ensuing year. A
committee on social affairs was also
elected. Rather than have an elected
booster committee, each member
pledged himself committee of one to
boost for larger and better class.
The evening passed rapidly, and up
on leaving the boys voted Mr.. and
