Strike benefits may be paid by the

At the Top Of the Stairs.

During my service In the army 1
was one day corporal in charge of
quarters. One of my duties was to es-
cort the officer of the day on his tour
of inspection, preceding him into the
mems quarters and loudly calling
them TO attention.
This particular day preceded him
up the stairs to the upper floor of our
barracks, and when about half way
up loudly shouted, Attention"
Upon reaching the top of the stairs
discovered the colonel and a dozen
other officers of the regiment rigidly
standing at attention. They had
picked the place out as a quiet one to
get some gas mask drill, and burst
out with a wild shout of laughter when
they saw me and the second looey in

Octopus Not Dangerous.

The octopus has the power Of
changing color more highly developed
than any other animal. He cnu@ ac-
commodate himself TO the vivid back
ground of a tartan plaid without a
tremor. Indeed. this is his main line
of defense. He ciihgs mechanically
with his many suckers to whatever he
may touch, but tight grip upon the
slight construction between his head
and little round body invariably
causes him to relax his hold. To see
the lmpunity with which any French
fisher girl win handle an octopus
might dispel the fears Of the most
nervous bather that ever mistook IN
overgrown jelly fish for the eight
armed terror of the deep.

REV. BAKER DELIVERED
LAST SERMON HERE SUNDAY

Rev. E. S. Baker, pastor of the
Christian Church, preached his fare
we'll sermon Sunday, he having &C
cepted call to the Christian Church
at Union City. Rev. Baker came to
the Dyersburg church from Jackson
seven years and nine months ago,
and his ministry here has been sue
cessful and productive of much good
for the cause of the Master. He has
had opportunities to accept other
calls during his ministry here, but
remained on the job, doing much
effective work.
During Rev. Bakers ministry here
there have been ITO additions to his
church. The church here has been
put on good financial basis under
his ministry and a new church edi-
fee will be constructed at no distant
date, the congregation having out
grown the present building.
Dyersburg is the better for his hav-
ing been among us during the past
seven years and his leaving will be
a distinct loss to the community in
which he has so faithfully served.
He has worked in harmony with the
ministers of all denominations and
he is loved and esteemed by all, re-
gardless of creed. He is man of
broad thoughts and a sympathy that
