Disposing of Surplus Meats.

c. W. Hare, director of sales for the war
department. gives notice that bids for surplus
meats, of which there are $65,OO0,O0O worth on
hand will be received at once They will be
disposed of only in carload lots.
No one need fear that the throwing of these
supplies the market will have any appre-
ciable effect on the retail price The big hand
lers of food products most likely will heroically
throw themselves into the breach to receive
the shock of the impact and to shield the con-
sumner from it's effects. 1t may, in fact, be
necessary to slightly advance prices to pay
the overhead of the packing plants while the
surplus is being disposed of. At least some
thing of that sort would not be surprising,
after recent experiences with rising prices

A girl is not supposed to accept
jewelry from a man except from

much you are not accepting the gift
for its value. but for the spirit IN
which it was given.

Refusal of the Italian deputies to vote con-
fdence in Premier Orlando after the fight he
has put up for the things his people were sup
posed to have their hearts set upon is hard
to understand. The explanation, most likely,
is to be found in the general industrial paraly-
sis in the country. When people idle
and hungry they are likely to hit the first head
that hobs up and leave the question of why
they did it for after consideration

annual sale of pianos, player pianos and
talking machines.

success last year that he was anxious
to come again and bring with him this
time, in addition ohis fine line Of pianos
and player pianos, a line of high grade
talking machines, the specisl feature
of which is that it plays ell kinds of
records perfectly.
In view of the fact that many of his
line of instruments are already in use
in the homes of some of the best peo-
pie of Somervllle and Fayette County
and are highly satisfactory, and the sd-
ditional fact that he takes in exchange
other instruments as part payment and
gives liberal terms. He expects to
meet greater success than when he was
here before. He also takes stamps and
bonds just the same as cash without
any discount.

City Marshal Assaulted

One of the most dastardly attacks
ever made on an officer in this section
was Tint on City Marshal w. n. John
son hy Bowen Klvce Il APPEARS that
the Marshal found Klyce under the in-
fiGence Of drink and cursing on the
st eets. and took charge Of him, later
letting him go on the promise that he
would go home. But instead of going
home he encountered some of the drink-
ing and gambling gang who mad pre-
viousy been taken in by the Marshal
and the Sheriff and ''hsd it in for" these
officials. They urged Klyce to get even
with Johnson and one of them piloted
him to the barber shop where the Mar.
shall was waiting for shave. They
called him out and Klyce proceeded to
pummel his face, some say with brass
knucks,. in a most painful manner.
Klyce was arrested. carried before Re-
corder Hendoc and fined $50 and costs
in the city court and was bound over to
the state by Esq. Boyd on State War
rant. His bond was fixed at $500 and
he was released.
Klyce is from Corinth. Mississippi.
where he is said TO be we'll connected.
He has been here but short time and
has been employed as a mechanic in the
Overland Gsrage. He was unquestion-
ably put forward by those who are dis
gruntled with the Marshal and Sheriff
because Of frequent raids made BY
these officials on gambling and would
never have committed the attack unless
so urged by them. II possible they
should be made to suffer as severely ss
he has or will.

weather permitting, we will soon follow
this preparation with putting in few

toes, radishes, lettuce, mustard, beets,
etc.
Early, you say? Yes, very early,
but if they rot in the ground or germi-

the cost of few seed and most of these
seed we saved and have a surplus of,
so why not take the risk? If the win
