Oner No Proof.
No effort whatever was made to
prove or disprove the story which
was a direct attack upon Mrs. Min
ME Evans, who was said to have
been Joy riding" in the patrol which
broke down. The letter to the
board insinuated the charges in the
story TO be true, reliable Witnesses
having given the paper the informa-

charged with Joy riding"

Of cemetery lots will aid very much in

There is another matter the writer de-
sires to call to the attention of the
board of mayor and aldermen, and
that is that many years ago the board
issued $4,000 in bond for the pur-
pose of aiding the building of a rail
road from Durhamville, via Browns
vile to Denmark. The bonds were de-
clared illegal and set aside by the
chancellor. The road bed was partly
graded from the L. & N. road west
through the southern portion of the
cemetery; the project having been
abandoned the property belonging to
the cemetery remains outside the
cemetery fence. This should be looked
into for the benefit of the cemetery as
sociation. JOHN CLINTON.

THE BURDEN OF KEEPING
UP APPEARANCES

- e.
Human nature has no trait more
marked than the desire to ''be like
other folks" especially in society and
in the tokens of domestic prosperity.
There are people who cannot bear the
thought of being echpsed in any way
by a neighbours show Of material adj
vancement.
In some respects this spirit is COM
mendable. No one wishes to attract
attention by being peculiar or show
ing contempt for fairly good exam
Piles set by other folks, yet it were
better to be overly independent than
to be hurtfully subservient to social
custom.
There is as one writer quotes,
"a dreadful ambition abroad for be-
ing 'genteel.' We keep up appearances
too often at the expense Of honesty;
and though we may not be rich, yet
we must seem so. We must be res
pectable,' though only in the meanest
sense-in mere vulgar outward show.
We have not the courage to 60 pa
tiently forward in the condition of life
it has pleased God to call us; but must
needs live in some fashionable state
to which we ridiculously please to call
ourselves, and all to satisfy the vani-
ty of that unsubstantial genteel world
of which we form part, There is a
constant struggle and pressure for
front seats in the social amphitheatre,
in the midst of which all noble, self
denying resolve is trodden dawn and
many fine natures are inevitably
crushed to DEATH What waste, what
misery, what bankruptcy come from
all this ambition to dazzle others with
the glare of apparent worldly success,
we need not describe. The mischiev-
Gus results show themselves in thous
and ways-in the rank fraud commit
ted by men who dare to be dishonest,
but who do not dare to seem poor, and
in the desperate dashes at fortune it
which the pity is not so much for those
who fail as for the hundreds of inno-
cent families who are SO often involv-
] ed in their ruin"
/ Illustrations of the foregoing truth
can be found in almost any daily pa
per. The instances are not few in
which men dare to be dishonest, but
do not dare to seem poor" The ex-
posture of their frauds and dishonesty
has brought heartaches to many loved
ones, some Of whom possibly by I'M
Eovernable social ambition may have
unconsciously contributed a share to-
ward the fabulous impulse to do
wrong.
We wish some effective means could
be devised for Kidding society of this
unnecessary Michigan Chris
tian Advocate.

HUNTER WILSON
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Announcement was made Tuesday
by Gov. Rye of the appointment of
Hunter Wilson as attorney general of
Shelby county to succeed z. Newton
Estes, found guilty of article 10 and
deprived of Office Saturday by the high
court of impeachment. Mr.. Wilson
was appointed by Gov. Rye at the
time Gen. Estes was temporarily re-
moved pending the impeachment, and
since his appointment has made good
record in office. The first appointment
was only temporary, Ringing on the re-
turn or removal of Este by the court.
When the Office was vacated by order
of the court of impeachment Saturday
it devolved upon Gov. Rye to fill the
vacancy by executive appointment,
owing to the fact that the removal of
Gen. Estes came several days too late
for candidates to qualify for election
to the office of attorney general in the
election of August 8. Gov. Rye stat
ed this morning that Mr.. Wilson's rec
ord showed no reason why he should
not be appointed, and that he would
commission the new attorney general
late today. The reappointment is for
a term of two years, until the general
election of August, 1918.

Special methods of caring for the
patients have been adopted in connec-

methods is supplying the patients,

OLD TIMES

Brownsville is by no means finish
ed town. There are many public I'M
provements that we could and should
have. for example, we have what was
known in old times as grave yard,
which is now about 80 years old. 1t
might be we'll for our good citizens
to walk over the sacred ground and
see the condition and poor attention
that has been given to the care OF the
graves that contain the bodies OF well
known citizens, male and female, who,
when living, composed the best cltl-
zens of our then small village. may
saw that there is no place in well
regulated town that should have more
attention paid to it that beautiful
cemetery. 1t speaks well for the in
telligence and public spirit Of high
tone people. With but few exceptions
there has been but little attention paid
to the graves of the old grave yard.
In the early days there were not laid
off any particular form Of lots or
drives, and when one of the citizens
died a friend would select a suitable
spot for grave, and when relatives
or friends died, they were selected next
to the first friend or relative. About
one-third of the grave yard is used
by the colored people, and that was
on the south part of the grave yard.
The entire grave yard was so nearly
filled up with graves that it was diff
cult to find spot that had not been
occupied in former years, so much so
that it was necessary to secure addi-
tional ground for cemetery, and the
colored people had to secure ground
for cemetery of their own. When L.
w. Tyus was mayor of Brownsville
the land west of the grave yard to Mill
street and the land north Of j. M. Cox,
ST., was purchased by the town and
with the assistance of the writer was
planned and laid off in square blocks
and numbered, and a circular drive
through the grounds was also laid off.
From experience it is found that these
lots are too large for many purchas-
ers and should be divided into two
lots to suit purchasers. The property
being owned by the town the mayor
and aldermen should take an interest
in the work to be done by grading and
crawling the circular drive from the
gate, and now at this time, the ladies
of the cemetery association have LAID
off circular drive through the old
grave yard for convenience to reach
the present graves and make vacant
spot of ground available. This should
also be graded and graveled at the
expense of the town on the same prln'
ciple as grading and graveling the
streets. In order to raise funds t
carry on such needed work of improy'
ing the cemetery, and without being
oppressive to the taxpayers a plan has
been suggested by the cemetery asso
citation to issue certificates to those
who desire to aid in this great worl
in such an amount as the owner o.
property may desire to contribute t.
the work, and get value received, ant

ONE-CENT LETTER POSTAGE

Postmaster General Burleson is in
favor of a one cent letter postage, but
ne maintained last week before the
National Association Of Postmasters
that before this rate can be feasbly
adopted there must be an increase in
second class mail rates. The following
are his words on the subject: Should
second class mail rates be increased,
the cost of mail transportation low
cred under the new space payment sys-
TEN, and useless extravagances in ru-
raj carriage eliminated, initial steps
can be taken next year toward reduc-
ton of the letter rate. Should the in
crease in second-class rates apply to
the newspapers, the blessing of de-
crease in letter rates would be dearly
bought. Christian Advocate.

FRUIT CAN BE CANNED
WITHOUT USING ANY SUGAR

Washington, July 30.-Fruit for
use in pie or salad or as stewed fruit
can be put up or canned without the
use of an sugar at ALL, according to
the canning specials of the Depart
ment Of agriculture. They, therefore,
advise those who, because of the high
price Of sugar, have been thinking of
reducing the amount of fruit put up,
to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar syrup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of hot syrup. The use

when canned in water alone do not re-
tain their natural flavor, texture and
color as well as fruit put up in syrup.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars until they are full; use
the handle of a table spoon, wooden
ladle or table knife for packing pur-
poses. Pour over the fruit boiling
water from kettle, place rubbers and
caps in position, partially seal if US
ing glass jars, seal completely if using
tin cans. Place the containers in a
sterilizing vat, such as a wash boiler
with false bottom, or other receptacle
improvised for the purpose. If using
hot water bath outfit, process for
thirty minutes; count time after the
water has reached the boiling point;
the water must cover the highest jar
in the container. After sterilizing
remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap
in paper to prevent bleaching and store

YOUNG WOMAN, BRUTALLY
BEATEN AND STABBED BY
FATHERS EMPLOYE, GEORGE
EMINGEN-MAY SURVIVE.

George Hemingen, aged thirty
years, brady farm hand, was arrest
ed last Friday charged with assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
kill, his victim being Miss Alma Mel
son, the 22-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Nelson, prominent
brady farmers, residing fourteen
miles southwest of Minot. Hemingen
was infatuated with Miss Nelson, who
spurned him, and insane jealousy was
the cause for the mans terrible deed.
That the girl was not murdered out
right is due to the fact that the man
left her after thinking she was dead, it
is declared. Hemingen was brot to
Minot and is being held in the county
jail. It is said that he wishes to plead
guilty to assault with a deadly wea-
pom and receive penitentiary SEN
tence, but the States Attorney is not
willing to allow him to do this until
after the outcome Of the affair is
fully determined. .....s.
According to the story told by Miss
Nelson, the trouble started early Fri
day morning. Hemingen had worked
for the girls father for nearly year
and was considered good steady man.
Mr.. Nelson had gone to Kenmare to
visit friends, leaving the mother, the
daughter and Hemingen to run the
affairs at home. Hemingen had fall
en- in love with Miss Nelson and de-
