@NCE upon q time youth passing through
j q thicket cut hollow reed and carelessly
~ blowing into the end discovered that he
was producing a sound, musical note.
Cutting another reed he found sound again,
but of different pitch, and by combining num-
ber of these reeds, after probably many efforts,
he evolved a set of perhaps an octave OF consecu-
tive tones and thus developed what are now
called Pans Pipes, the first organ.
Then some one discovered that the adding OF
. rnouthpiece made the blowing easier, and that
instead Of many tubes, one alone could be length
ened or shortened by the use Of finger holes, and
40 the shepherds pipe. The shepherd soon
learned that by using a pipe in each hand he
oould produce two tones at the same time, and
here we have the beginning Of harmony.
The invention Of the bellows, probably in
connection with the blacksmiths forge, furnish
inc means for obtaining more wind, made 1t
possible TO use larger pipes, and more OF them,
and in this with the addition Of keyboard we
have the foundation of the modern pipe organ.
The organ Of today has three departments
bovyine plant, action and pipes. The first usual
Iv consists Of a fan blower, the wind at pres
,ure of from four to ten inches by the water
gauge, being conveyed to the organ chest, box
Of about eight feet in length containing the
valves which admit the wind to the pipes, which
rest upon the top in double rows

THE recent suit for $4,000 damages brought
by Miss Gladys Clark, vaudeville actress,
- against a well-known New York beauty doc
tor has served to reveal the length to which some
women are venturing nowadays in the quest for
beauty.
According to Miss Clark's own version OF what
happened, she was the possessor Of double chin.
Also, she had wrinkles under her eyes. Her face,
too, she thought little too round to coincide
with her idea of perfect beauty.
And SO she went to a face surgeon, just as
hundreds Of other women who wanted to be beau
tiful have done.
The operation which followed resulted, accord
ing to Miss Clark, in the loss of her health and
the ruination of her beauty. Hence the suit for
$4,000 damages. The beauty doctor, she de-
elared, had undertaken to smooth out
her double chin, remove every trace
of the wrinkles from around her eyes
and relieve her face of its unattrac-
tive rotundity by making two quar- AXXN

PROUD OF HAVING -.
FOUGHT FOR RIGHT

Columbus, Ohio, November 81
Gov. Cox, in his first statement since
the election, tonight said that in spirit
he was "as proud as when the fight
started" and that he "would not re-
trace step nor yield a single jot in
principle"
Gov Cox's statement follows:
"For the first time in 10 years,
the Republican party is in complete
control of the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of the national gov
eminent. Therefore, policy as to
statute and administration is with it.
It's task is no longer thatsof critic,
but the constructor, 1t is nv hope
and firm belief that the Democracy of
the nation win not attempt political
sabotage. The country has seen quite
enough Of that.
"We are in the midst of an emerg-
eney and the nations every resource
should coordinate in behalf Of the
things that are helpful. So long as
Government exists, the principles of
Thomas Jefferson will be the center
about which human hopes will gather,
Talk of a new party is absurd One
might as well discuss the destruct-
ion of human emotions.

welfare of the country in the past, the
creed of Democracy is more needed

have made it distinctly the American

BIG DEMONSTRATIONS IN
TERRACING TO BE GIVEN

Farmers in this county will be given
an opportunity to get some first-hand
information and see actual work in
terracing, ditching and blowing for
moisture, humus, water and soil con-
servation in demonstrations that are
to be held on the farms Of w. N,
Mcbride and Shelton Bros. near Gov
ington
This demonstration will be under
the supervision of County Agent Hol-
ingsworth who will be assisted by
H. B. Bliss rural engineering spec
ialist of the Division of Extension,
University Of Tennessee. Every
farmer who is interested in making
his quilted hillsides and waste lands
paying proposition will find it
worth his time to attend this netting.
Each year thousands of acres are
being washed away, gullies becoming
deeper and wider. In travelling over
the county evidence of this is seen
on every side. Practically every farm
is suffering from soil loss and lack
Of moisture on certain areas during
| the summer months, due to the fact
that the water which falls on the land
runs off as fast as it falls, carrying
the soil with it, instead of soaking IN
and providing a moisture reservoir
to supply the plant at needful time.
Terracing is the first step in soil
preservation and its importance in
the reclamation of quilted hillsides
will be demonstrated and explained
in practical way. This method of
saving the land from washing and
conserving the rainfall of the winter
for use during the crop growing sea-
son is-being followed by many farm
ers, throughout the state at present
and all who have tried it are finding
1t Of great benefit.
A big crowd is expected at the
demonstrations There will be several
teams, tractors and terracing nipple
ments on the grounds and we are
confident that it will be worth much
to our farmers if they WIN only nut
into practice some Of the, ideas they
will have chance to secure first
hand from experts who will have
charge Of the demonstrations.

CHILD MEETS WITH
HORRIBLE DEATH
HERE TUESDAY FROM CYANIDE
OF POTASSIUM POISONING
Robert Dunbar, of BurlisOn, Drinks
Poison BY Mistake at ]. H. Goth
rams Jewelry StOre-Dies in Thirty
Minutes, After Much Suffering.

A horrible accident happened here
at the iewelry store of j. H. Cothran
about noon Friday resulting in the
death Of little Rober Dunbar, aged
between two and three years, son Of
Robt. G. Dunbar, who makes his home
on the A. ]. Evans place at Burlison,
his death being caused from drinking
cyanide Of potassium by mistake.
Mr.. Dunbar came to the city from
Ibis home Friday morning, accompan-
led by his wife and the little boy
above named, and went into Mr.. Goth
rams jewelry store for the purpose
of having some glasses fitted for his
wife. The child was thirsty and Mr.,
Dunbar went to the rear of the store,
where the hydrant is kept, to secure
drink of water for him. There was
glass at the hydrant, but the father
by mistake dipped the glass in a
bucket Of cyanide Of potassium,
which had been used for cleaning
silver and which was covered and near
the hydrant. He gave the child a
glass of the poison, thinking it was
water. The child died in about 80
minutes after drinking the poison.
AS soon as the mistake was dis
covered Mr.. Cothran hastily sum-
moned medical aid and had a doctor
on the scene in very few minutes
after the poison was swallowed. All
that was possible to be done for the
unfortunate little boy was done, but
he was already beyond human aid,
