childhood days of the many legends and stories which were related to her by older members of her family form a niche in her heart which Is revered always.
 Although just a little girl at the time, Mrs. Smyer tries to make her. self believe in her flights of imagi- nation that she can remember cer- tain incidents in those days when her uncle was the exposure of all eyes in her family-but this. as has been remarked, was merely imaginative, fof she was too young to recall defi- nite1y anything but the stories told to her of her wonderfully talented urcle-her fathers only brother.
 In speaking of her childhood days, Mrs. Smyer says:
 "Of course, I didn't know anything personally about my uncle in his la bors on his patent Gas that was years before I was born), but l do recol- feet seeing him busily engaged tn scientific investigations and work in regard to improvements on typewrit- ing machines.
 My uncle moved to Brooklyn, N, Y, in the early eighties. and I saw very little of him between his re- moval to Brooklyn and his return south (to Chattanooga short time before his death"
 An Incident of 1915
 An interesting letter indited to The Age Herald on May 24, 1915, from Mrs. Smyer in regard to an article re- produced in this paper from the Pittsburg Dispatch entitled "The First American Typewriter" is of in- terest just at the present time when the John J. Pratt memorial fund is in an embryonic state.
 Referring to the article from the Pittsburg Dispatch and published in The Age Herald, Mrs. Smyer wrote:

Sleeping Sickness

HOW METHOD OF FIGHTING
THIS PEST INSPIRED MANU-
FACTURE OF SWEET DREAMS
MOSQUITO REMEDY.

A traveller in relating his various
experiences in Africa, casually men
toned how the natives protected
themselves against the ravages of the
Tsetse fly. AS is generally known,
the bite of this fly results in "sleep-
ing Sickness" a malady from which
no unfortunate ever RECEIVERS.
1t was reasoned that remedy cap
able of keeping off these flies would
also keep mosuitoes off. So in Amer
lea this remedy was reproduced as
nearly as possible. Having been
found exceptionally satisfactory as a
mosquito remedy, this mixture has
since been offered in commerce under
the trade name of Sweet Dreams.
The efficiency of the preparation has
caused it's immediate acceptance
everywhere. And the traveller doesn't
yet know that his entertaining story
resulted in the birth of an industry.
When mosquitoes are troublesome,
try Sweet Dreams. Sold everywhere,
35c, or three bottles. for $1.0O.

The South Will Need
Every Tree Il Grows

We of the South have stepped for
ward over the wall Of ancient Gus
tom, Of non-industrialism and one
crop agriculture, into the pleasant
but responsible field Of great agri-
cultural development, great industrial
development, and increasing popula-
ton. z"
We are underbuilt. The average
value Of our farm buildings is less
than anywhere else in the United
States.
But as our wealth increases, our
poperty will increase in value. More
and better houses will be built. More
lumber will be needed to build them.
In the South, we now use about
five billion feet Of pine yearly. In
1882 our pine output will be nine
billion feet. What We then ship out
will have to be replaced by the soft
woods which the Pacific Coast will
ship in. We shall become more and
more an importing, rather than an
exporting region.
Wherefore have no fear for the fu-
ture. The law of supply and demand
will still operate in 1882. The call
for pine lumber will not drop; the
available stock will. Draw your own
conclusions; pine stumpage will gain
in value, and those of US who in 1882
hold blocks of pine stumpage are

relieve the tension and give a laugh

But there was no laughing for the
