Dales. Cotton Is grown commercial

"Greater love hath no man than

heroesS Sometimes the hero is not
even a man or a human being, but a
humble animal, a dog perhaps,
whose love of his master is greater
than his love of life A dog, so
say the scientists, has only instinct.
A dog, say the wise men, does not
think or reason; he does but resc.

reason, what holds him to his mas

 Soon after the new. year of 1885 Samson and Harry moved the Kelsos to Tazewen county. MT. Kelso had received an appointment as land agent and was to be stationed at the little settlement of Hopedale near the home of John Peasley.
 Late in the afternoon Harry and Samson left the Kelsos and their ef- fects at a small frame house in the little village of Hopedale. The men had no sooner begun to unload than its inhabitants came to welcome the newcomers and help them in the work of getting settled. When the goods were deposited in the dooryard Sam son and Harry drove to John Peas ley's farm. MT. Peasley recognized the big, broad-shouldered Vermonter at the first look.

 The next day after his return, Abe received letter from Ann. She had come over to the store on the arrival of the stage and taken her letter and run home with it. That Saturdays stage brought the new suit of clothes from Springfield. N...--
 It was an Indian summer day of the first week in November. That after noon Abe went to the tavern and asked Ann to walk out to the Traylors' with him. She seemed to be glad to go. She was not the cheerful, quick-footed, rosy-cheeked Ann of old. Her face was pale, her eyes dull and listless, her step slow. Neither spoke until they had passed the Waddell cabin and were come to the open fields.
 T hope your letter brought good news" said Abe.
 'It was very short" Ann answered. "He took fever in Ohio and was sick there four weeks and then he went home. In two months he never wrote a word to me. And this one was only little bit of a letter with no love in 1t. I don't believe he cares for me now or, perhaps, he is mar ried. I don't know. I'm not going to cry about 1t any more. can't.

 Abe was much impressed by these kindly words. a
 My friends do not often ask what they can do for me-" he said. ''I sup pose they haven't thought of it. I'll think it over and let you know"
 Three days later he walked out to Coleman Shoots after supper As they sat together by the flreside Abe said:
 "I've been thinking of your friendly question. It's dangerous to talk that way to a man like me. The fact is, I need two hundred dollars to pay pressing debts and give me something in my pocket when go to vandalia. If you can not lend it to me shall think none the less of you." X -

 Abe Lincoln had many friends who would have done the like for him if they could, and he knew 1t.
 Every one has faith in you" said Shoot. we expect much of you and we ought to be willing to do what we can to help" -.
 "Your faith will be my strength. if I have any," said Abe.
 On his way home that night he thought of what Jack Kelso had said of democracy and frisndship.
 On the twenty-second of November . letter came to Ann from Rim Kelso, which announced that she was going to New Orleans for the winter with her husband. Six days later Abe took the stage for the capital, at Rutledge's door, where all the inhabitants of the village had assembled to bid him good
