OLD TIME SPELLING
 MATCH A BIG SUCCESS

An old time spelling match was held at the New Jewel Theatre Thursday night and the affair was a complete suc- cess from every angle.
 Mrs. l.. McFall and Mayor Walter w. Raney were select ed to choose sides and the lat ter's side proved the winner.
 Mrs. w. T. Mccain was the last of Mrs. McFalPs team to fail and several were left on the opposite side at the time. Those remaining standing who were on the winning team continued to spell the words that were called by Rev. Guy Murphy from the old blue back speller to see which of them would be the last to take his seat. The contest finally closed with ouly two persons standing, Mrs. c. l.. Carson and MT. E. w. Clancy, the former winning the honors of being the best speller when MT. Clancy failed to correctly spell the word "elixir," using a "y" instead of an "i."
 The use of the theatre was donated to the ladies of the School Improvement Associa- tion by Manager Raney and the admissions which netted $17.2O went for the benefit of the school. It has been sug- gested that a similar enter tainment be given every month for the benefit of the school.

About pIamonos.

Only about 50 per cent of rough dia. monds are cut into gems and lose about 60 per cent of their weight in being cut and polished. Diamonds are practically indestructible and the first diamond ever mined may possibly still be in existence But estimate allows for the loss of at least 100000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck and other dis asters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished die monds at 46,355,4 carats.

How "mIss" Came Into Use.

This was 1862. when and unmarried were so called. the Miss" being flip abbreviation of Mistress" title of respect for both married and unmarried women. The word "miss," however, filled so long felt want that the public seized upon it, ignoring its earlier connections. and within 50 years it was well estab- lished.

Free From Enemies.

The redwood is peculiarly free from enemies. It is rarely wind-blown and the thickness of the bark renders re- sistance to fire so great that it is almost impossible to kill the trees by burning. Furthermore, the tree is not subject to attacks by insects. About the only way they can be killed or shattered is by powerful bolt of lightning. By far the greater part of the reproduction of redwood Is by sprouts. It is also peculiar in it's abil- ity to produce excellent sprouts from very old stumps.
