HALLOWEEN

Hallow en--the festival of boys

Great White Way in old New York
t. the cross roads town that boast
only black smith shop aud 81
Hoiler's general store, the spnit
Of the night of pranks will make
Itself felt. Halloween parties will
occupy the attention Of the smart
set in the big city aud little Willie
will sit astride the old rail frnce on
the lonely farm aud poke his pumps
kin lantern at the stranger who
rolls indifferently by in his autos
mobile.

This is done to distract the atten-

ORIGIN OF THE JURY SYSTEM

The exact origin of the jury
system is not known with certainty,
it having beer attributed to diff
erent European peoples which at
an early period developed methods
of trial som 4what simil " to the
ea,ly jury trials IN England Trial

of recognition by sworn inquest

or Kings court directed the sheriff
to select four knights OF the county
By whom II knights were selected
to serve as rec0gnitors. After be.
ing duly sworn they INQUIRED into
the f..cts Of interest to the new
rulers of England which might be
subject to public inquiry, such as
matters affecting taS4tlon.
Suitors in cases affecting the
title OF real estate, as early as the
reign of Henry IL, ll54 to 1889,
applied to the kings court for
recugnitors whose verdict, If unN

The PECAN AS A SHADE TREE

A gentleman from Southern
Georgia who was in Starkville last
week said to the writers Il was
ve,y much impressed with the beau
tiful driye way between Starkville
aud A. u M College and note that
a nice line of young shade trees
tave been plated all along the
road which will in few years make
it one of the prettiest driveways
to be found anywhere, hut could
not help but think how much better
it would have bean to have used
pecan trees. We are planting them
out in Georgia now about The p ca
1855 and along the Iroadsides. Their
foliage and form cannot be inn
proved upon for the purpose, and
AS the frost ripens the nuts and
brings them to the ground no
more healthful food can be found
Then you know what a valuable
crop The pecan is, Then why not
shade our highways with the pecan
and let the nuts and produce ben
fit our whole populace7"

Between 10000 and 10000 returned
soldiers scattered throughout the
state have not vet applied for their
victory buttons, and army officials
who are in charge of the distribution
Of the buttons are eager to place
them in the hands of the men entitled
to the decoration. The only means
provided in regulations whereby these
men may secure the service buttons
is to apply either in person or in
writing to the army recruiting sta
tion in Portland. The discharge cer-
tlficate of the soldier must accom-.
pany every application for a victory
button as the army regulations strict
ly forbid the issuance of buttons on
any other conditions Recruiting Of
ficers touring the state are not au-
thorized to issue the buttons.

Bingham springs Sunday and reported

counted on as permanent. Local men

hoping for some permanent system of
allotment so that the water springs
might be developed to their full ex-
tent
