CHAPTER XIII.
WHO WAS "WILD ROSE?

VI y
When Sir Francis Ward heard the
sad story of the ruin of "Old Fort
Loudon," he did not deem it expedi-
ent to lead his party any farther
Arrangements were made for the lit
tie army to return to Capt. Birds
camp on the north side of New River.
Alta Culla-Culla, now that his friend,
Capt. Stuart was safe, wished to re-
turn to his own towns; so did Tame
Doe. They could not take "Wild
Rose" with them, however, for the
sentence of death was still against
her. AS they were standing in a
group, discussing the mater, Sir
Francis approached. The conversa-
ton eeased-Sir Francis hesitated,
then came up embarrassed.
II hope | am not intruding," he
said politely. A smile from "Wild
Rose" and a motion from the old
chief, treasured him; and he joined
them. He was first to speak.
"Thcre is subject very near my
heart, of which wish to speak. !
scarcely know who to address, or
what to say. If were in England,
l would go to the lady's father, moth
or, on guardian; but here, do not
know your custom. | wish to speak
of my love for Wild Rose and my
desire to make her my wife at once"
To hide the bushes on her checks,
the young girl hid her face behind

Kings Meadows-BristOl, Long Is

when we reaoasI his side, an in
terest.ng sight met our eyes. Tw,
huge gobblers were srutting arounc
ea0h other, as if each felt he owned
the earth for his very own, and ex.
pected the very next moment to wipe
the other off the face of his posses
sions. Soon the battle began. There
was a great tapping Of wings-kick-
ing of feet and tapping of necks-
then cl:nch, and one held the others
head down, till they both got breath.
They broke loose; and there was more
sparrowing and threatening, Tapping
kicking, tapping of necks and clinch-
ing. We watched them for half an
hosr. 1t was a battle royal-speak-
ing of birds-a combat of giants.
"By this time. my hunger had
overcome my love for sport. | want
ed to shoot them. But the old chief
said no. You might bring some
lurking enemy upon us. Let me end
this fight
$50 saying, he took a stout stick
and crept up slyly to where the tur-
keys were standing in deadly clinch.
With one str@ke he dispatched them
both.
"They were noble fellows-prince-
ly specimens o. their race-these
kings of the game fowls of the Amer
lean forest. Dressed in their fine
coats of black, trimmed in green and
god, they would have made splen-
did addition to our London Museum;
but we had better use for them.
"Soon they were dressed and
rsaASsd Oh a stick before the fire.
Then we had feast equal
to our Boston Puritans' Thanksgiv-
ng dinner. And / gave thanks, too;
for the timely finding of the turkeys
saved our lives"
Capt. Stuart never knew that his
delicious feast was made on ground, I
where soon would stand town.
As the Indian party returned to !
their towns, old Nionee pointed out
the place to Tame Doe. Twenty
years later, as this old squaw was
passing through the new settlement
of Rogersville with "Wild Rose"
she identified the place and repeated
the story of the gobblers.
Now this quaint, yet charming, old
town, frequently claims the distinc-
ten, which Jonesboro so jealousy
gNards-that of being the oldest town
in the state.

The Successful Farmer

Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment. more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads.&c. modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world S markets.
The rairoads-hke the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service IS dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.

ONLY TEN DAYS
REMAIN To MAKE
YOUR TAX RETURN

Less than ten days remain for
making a return of your property
for assessment. If you have not
reported all your property to the
county assessor, do so at once.
February 20 is the final date.
After that date, your property, if
not returned, will be assessed at its
full value, plus Is per cent. In
other words, you will have to LAY
One-fourth more taxes than if you
make your own return before the
last business day of this month.
You want good schools, good
roads, provisions for health and
sanitation, law and order and eff
cient government. Can it be had
without paying for it? Perhaps
you want the "other fellow" to pay
for it. Don't be "piker." Make
full list of your property, real
and personal, and insist on full
and fair assessment, and see to 1t
that every other property owner
does likewise. The time has come
when there should be as much care
in this matter as in any other that
involves our common and indiVid-
ua welfare. If we are good citi-
zens we will pay our share, bear
our part of the burden of govern
mental expense. The assessment of
property is the first and most i'm
portant requisite toward this end.

INFLUENZA SITUATION
MUCH IMPROVED HERE

The influenza situation showed a
decided Improvement yesterday
when only seven new cases were
reported to the city health depart
ment up until o'clock. One death
was reported and no pneumonia
eases.
Notwithstanding that the situa-
ton is improving, the people are
asked not to relax their precautions
against the disease.
We attribute the check of influ-
enza to the strict quarantine meas
ures that were used at the outbreak
and to the cooperation of the pub
lie, which responded very gener-
ously to all orders given. Only in a
few cases was there complaint and
violation of the law, was the state
'ment made by members of the

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers
to Take Salts and Get
Rid of Uric Acid.

rheumatism is no respecter of
age, sex, color or rank. If not the
most dangerous of human afflic-
Those subject to rheumatism
should eat less meat, dress as
warmly as possible, avoid any I'M
due exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism Is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the
bowels and absorbed into the blood
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter this acid from the blood and
cast it out in the urine; the pores
of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather
the skin pores are closed thus fore
ing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system, even
tually settling in the joints and
muscles, causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for week, This is said
to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these inn
purities,
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm
less and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined
with lithia and is used with excel
lent results by thousands of folks
who are subject to rheumatism,
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-w water drink which over
comes uric acid and is beneficial to
your kidneys as we'll.

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it..
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulslfied cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
