USES A CoRNCoB PIPE
Marquis smokes s corncob pipe. It en-
ables him to develop a sense Of kinship
with at least tho better classes-hang-
men, for instance, and anarchists, and
darky folks. Down In Atlanta he struck
up most exhilarating friendship with a
colored janitor and has devoted to that
delightful person an entire essay, taking
pains to quote the notices he posted up
around the newspaper office. thus:
please remember cleness is next to

For particulars about the anarchist,
you will have to consult "Prefaces,
which is the funniest book of the year
and among the funniest of all time, but
am not above stealing a particular-or two
about the hangman
He had strong notion of the dignity
OF his vocation" says Marquis He was
an artist, with an artists peculiar vani-
ties, and sensibilities. He used to say
that he had never hanged a stranger:
all his clients were his friends; he tried
to put a personal touch into his work"
For really artistic hanging, he main
tanned that the ideal weight was 1G9
pounds.
He hated to hang a very thin man or
very fat man" He would remark to
an acquaintance on the street, Henry,
you're getting fat; be careful, Heary,
you're past good hanging weight" This
rare spirit accepted the definition of art
as the expression Of a mans joy in his
work, and When execution by means
of the electric current was adopted in
his state he hanged himself in the court
yard of the jail, where he had hanged
so many others, and did it quite beauti-
fully"
There is nothing French about MARQUIS
and the exquisites who call him 'Markee"
are wasting their fussiness. He is not
"Markee,' he is Marquis. AS for his first
name, take it as you find it-D-o-n, Don.

ASK SPIRITS FOR
COURT EVIDENCE
Sir Oliver Lodge Asked to Communi-
cate With Dead to Clear
Up Contract

London. October 16-By Reciprocal
News service.)-sir Oliver Lodge has re-
ceived letter from a noted firm of Lon
don lawyers asking him to obtain evil
dence from the spirit world in order to
clear up an important point in case
involving the disposal Of an income Of
100000 The letter explains that Is years
ago three men, the father of the law
yer, then head Of the firm, the father OF
| client and another lawyer-lunched to-
gether and over the dessert came to an
agreement regarding the disposal Of the
property which was never set down in
writing, or if set down the writing has
oeen lost These three men have since
died and the rival law firms now hold
conflicting views as to the title of the
property. The only change in its admin
istration since the luncheon was the
manner in which the income tax was
paid. The lawyers on one side maintain
that this proves that certain decision
was taken at the luncheon which would
Justify their view of the case; the other
lawyers maintain that no decision was
taken at the luncheon? Sir Oliver Lodge
has been requested by the former to com
muncate with the spirit of the dead
lawyer and obtain such Information from
him as would enable him to prove that
the luncheon was a business luncheon
and that the change of payment made in
the income tax was due to an agreement
made at that luncheon.
When asked about the case, Sir Oliver
lodge refused to say whether an at
tempt was being made to subpoena the
departed lawyer; nor would he state
whether he believed that spirits could be
induced to give evidence in court.

says the Savannah morning news.
There has been wall from some
sections OF South Georgia from the
farmers who set out last year to
raise peanuts as a profit-making crop.
Farm experts and inquiring news

covered that the wall is not we'll

The situation has been SURVEYED the
figures have been obtained as to the
cost Of producing COOLERS" and the
prices that can be depended upon
'or the crop. There is good ground for
the statement that the farmer can
most profitably raise peanuts At the
present cost and the present price
At 500 a ton the farmer can make
good money from peanuts. The cause
of the complaint has been found to
be due to the fact that the farmer in
many cases has not gone about the
work of harvesting and caring for
he cotton and corn crops, If the pea
nut grower will exercise the same care
n gathering and in protecting his pea,
nuts he will find that there is more
net profit in this product of his fields
than in cotton at fine Yield and corn
at a big average per acre.

If bonds are to be issued it
should be l9r paved roads-high-
ways that will last hundreds of
years. By Issuing bonds, the roads
will have to pay the cost. The
increase in values in the state
would pay what the roads would
cost in a single year.
There il no use to argue the
question Of good roads. or the fear
ful tax which bad roads levy upon
the people Recent experience has
made these things apparent. We
have had good roads and we have
had bad ones and every man who
has Travelled over them knows
the difference. The cost in wear

time from bad roads would pay
the cost of permanent highways

than five years time. We should

get them.

In spite of showery weather there
was good attendance at the commun-
ity singing at the Methodist Church
last Sunday evening, and one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings of the
series. Mrs. Brooks popularity as a
leader was evident from the opening
selection and the heartiness with
which all responded to her leadership
proved appreciation of her assistance.
Mrs. Brooks herself is greatly inter
ested in the movement and pledges her
assistance in every possible way.
The committee in charge has been
invited to take charge of the musical
part Of the program for July 4th, and
extended the invitation to Mrs. Brooks
to lead on that occasion. Her ready
assent assures good results. All who
have community singing books should

to the fair grounds on that date.

NenisOn Out of Season.

Dreyan Longtin, who is employed by
the Rich Lumber Company and who
lives in the eastern section of Man
chester, was arraigned before NUM-
cipal Judge William j. Meagher one
day last week on the charge of killing
deer out of season. He pleaded guilty
and was fined 500 and costs of $l6.S3.
The arrest was made by County
Game Warden S. B. Hawks of Ben
nington who with H. B. Taylor and
Deputy James d. Purdy visited the
Longtin home about 10 o'clock in the
forenoon. The officers found on the
stove a kettle in which a small piece
of venison was cooking for dinner.
Longtin was arraigned before Mu-
nicipal Judge Meagher who happened
to be attending county court. The
poacher admitted killing the deer last
Friday and his fine was paid before he
left the court room.
