was here Thursday of last week. car
rying Mrs. Hattie Malone to the Bap-
fist Hospital, in Memphis for a SER

Lee Cogdell, who had, perhaps, the
finest early garden in Lexington, now
has plenty of turnip greens, mustard
and lettuce and says he considers
those green things in the fall, as much
az part of a garden as the fence
around it.
We notice in the appointments
made by the Mckenzie Conference,
that Rev. P. d. T. Roberts goes back
to Trinity church in Memphis-in
other words, Trinity church having
had Bro. Roberts, Trinity church
wants him again. We hear privately
that Bro. Roberts is greatly improy-
ed in health, which is sufficient to
guarantee that he will do good work
as pastor.

Jollystreet, May 2.-Ear!y gardens

large extent in this section by the Sc
we're cold weather and frost. The far
mers are well up with their work on
the farms, more so than> they have
been in many years, although the cot
ton and corn are looking very bad
from the lack Of fertilizer and favor
able weather conditions. We some
times think this is ali for the best and
It may help to reduce the production
of cotton, and its does seem that the
only salvation for the Southern far
mer is to make less cotton if we ex-
pect anything for what We. do raise.
The 3Hunter-DeWalt school will

talents full scope, She is given this
chance in Sowing the Wind" as she
n,otrays rof'e~ requiring the most con-
summate skill as an all-round inter

In Madame Peacock" the picture
she herself declared her greatest since
Revelation" Nazimova viii lappeal
before local motion picture audiences
at the opera house on Friday.
This latest photoplay, from story
by Rita Weiman, will present the Rus
sian star as Jane Goring, a brilliant
stage celebrity who finds the heights
Of fame somehow do not bring the
complete happiness she had imagined
Written by one of ten leading dra-
matte writers of the day and enacted
by undoubtedly the most finished ac-
tress nTthe world, Madame Peacock
is mastery and telling portrayal Of
the soul of remarkable woman.
At the same time, and lateE in the
story, Nazimoya comes to the front
in a second character; as Gloria
Cromwell, the gifted, nondescript lit
tie girl to whom Jane Goring is rather
more Shan a goddess.
Chief in support of Nazimova is
George Probert; and others impcr-
tant in the cast are: John Stepping,
William Orlamond, Rex Clergyman,
Albert Cody, Gertrude eMe and
Mrs. Woodthorpe. Ray &c. ssnaallwood
directed the picture from Nazimova's s
adaptation; and Rudolph Bergquist
photographed it. Edward Shutter de-
signed the art settings. 81

to penetrate this region was
Jean Nicollet, who was sent out
in 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians. He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably trayersed- the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
sionaries followed and the latter
built q mission where Ashland
now stands. ThisNwas the first
church erected in the state and
around it sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La
Sale explored great deal OF
Wisconsin before he took his
famous trip down the Mississip-
pi. Among the fur traders to
!. come to Wisconsin shores was
!. Daniel du Lhut,3 after whom the
!. city Of Duluth, Mimi, was
named. y
During the Revolution Wiscon-
! sin remained loyal to the Brit
ish and though Wisconsin be-
came a part Of the. United
States by the Treaty of Paris in
1883, it was not until 1916 that
federal troops really established
authority there. Indian upris-
ings continued for some time
ending only with the Black
Hawk war in 1882. Then fof-
lowed extensive immigration
from the New England States.
Wisconsin had formed part
of the Northwest territory until
1890, when it became part Of
Michigan territory, under which
jurisdiction it remained until
1886, with the exception of nine
years, when it was considered
a part Of Illinois territory. With
the admission of Michigan as a
state, the Wisconsin territory
was created, which included al
so the present states of Iowa
and Minnesota and portions of
North and South Dakota.
In 1914 Wisconsin was taken
into the Union as the thirtieth
state. Its area is 56,0e6 square
miles and it has thirteen elec-
toraI votes for president.
The state is named after the
Wisconsin river. This is an

W%8sSwW tual meaning
@o~ of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means beau

derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations Of the
Mississippi in 1913.
The first settlement was made

Julian Dubuque. He obtained

Louisiana Purchase in 1908.
Iowa, which was a part Of this
huge territory, came into the
hands Of the United States from
France. At first Iowa wss a
part of the Louisiana territory,
then of Missouri territory. Later
it formed a portion of Michigan ,
territory and then Of Wisconsin
territory. In 1888, however, it
attained q distinct individuality
when it was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came in large
numbers and about 1882 a sub
stantial settlement was made
near Burlingt.a. and Dubuque
was founded il 1888. The popu-
