Farmers and Stockmens Meeting

We hope to see every Farmer and Stoekman in Carroll county in the meeting at Berryville Saturday, March 24th, at the court house.
 We need more pure bred live stock and to organize into some compact association by which we may breed more pure bred stock. The whole state is in an organized fight against the fever tick and in five years the the counties now below quarantine will be tick free and in the market for pure bred cattle and hogs and if we get busy and go into an organized effort we will be in position to fur nish much of the breeding stock for the rest of the state.
 It is not necessary to argue that even for beef and pork production the high grades and pure bred stuff are more profitable than scrubs. All thinking men realize that fact.
 Will you join your neighbor and help place Carroll county where she belongs in the front ranks? We invite the bankers and business men of the county to attend and to join in the effort. It means prosperity for all.
 Yours for better farming.
 Ben F. Greer, Agt.

Little Mother" Visits Silent City"
By Ham

Maud BAllington Booth, affectionately known as
Little Mother to thousands Of inra,es of penal
institutions throughout the country blessed us with
her presence last Sunday, October 2ls,.
The speaker who Introduced by Warden
Reed. holds unique place in the hearts of the
jewellers sllen, places" She has no ,fical status
represents particular religious Sect asks no pecu-
hilary return for her efforts in behalf of the sub
merged estate" yet her visits and works for over
twenty years have been welcomed and appreciated by
inmates aud .fhcials alike
Ii is safe 10 say that never before has there an.
peared a woman who has unselflshly devoted
gifted Intellect to little understood by the
general public Florence Nightingale is the only
oped great humanitarian movement. The latter
was honored by those in high places not because her
achievements were more valuable to society," but
rather because the public was able TO see concrete
results. War time nursing is now recognized part
of a nations fighting equipment: in time The more
subtle nursing of mems characters will also have
definite recognition.
There are three things that make combined
appeal to the prisoner when listening to Mrs. Booth
The first IMPRESSION the audience gains is that of
beau'ul woman-nol of a beauty formed of classical
features and abundant youth-but of the beauty tina,

of living for others The smile is not mechan-
zeal nor forced it 10 the smile of understandings Of
infinite tolerance and the yearning 10 help. help
Others to higher pa'b. There is that in the Booth
smile that dsarms criticism and suspicion; it is so
frankly, SO essentially human
Maud Bangton Booth is of course trained
speaker Every word she utters is plainly UNDER
stood; her phrases devoid Of compexity; each
word is clearly enunciated. and all of her word
pictures painted with harmonious tints
But the real secret of Mrs. Booths success as
reforna,ve agent lies the very apparent sincerity
of her views. First; her audience knows that she
knows them and understands them probably no
one else. Second; there is no selfish motive behind
her actions and strings attached to her philan-
thropy. Third; every word she u,ters-every bit of
advice she glves-is the result at twenty years
of contact experience. Fourth; the methods of Mrs.
Booth are approved by all experienced men of
practical value. Fifth; The audience knows that
Mrs. Booth has successfully reclaimed thousands of
men by her methods.
This is a review of Maud Ballington Booths
impromptu talk to us; it is bnt an appreciation of
her Kindness and reminder of what 10 the writer at
least, seems to be the keynote of the talk, What
are you doing to prepare yourself for the future?'
Are you going out of this place feeling and knowing
the experience has taught you lessonf Have you
analy zed the causes that led to the breakng-down
POM! Have you armed yourself so as to success
fully fight these causes? Or are you gong out of
here unmproved, morally and educatioualy? It's
up to you'll
