It is a matter of good faith, and it must be kept. It begins to look as if there is no way of solving the problem of punishing the Adams county, Ohio, vote-buyers except that of declaring the whole county a jail. Colonel Watterson remarKs that it is hard to lose the savings of a lifetime. Maybe so, but the greatest difficulty of our life so far has been to save up something to lose. Mr. and Mrs. Day id Katz, returned to Mebane Monday, Mrs. Katz, has been in Philadelphia, for several week«. Mr. Katz, went North and spent Christmas with his relatives. Rev. J. B.

Tyson Malone Hardware Co. ad. Dont forget where to put your money for safe keeping. The Farmers Commercial Bank is the place. We would like to have letters from those who have promised to correspond for the Leader. It is important. Send Monday. It is reported that our popular young friend Benjaman Warren was over about Orange Grove, the latter part of the week in search of an Orange blossoms. Ah, Ben. old boy you will hardly find one sweeter than you deserve. There is a bill pending before congress a bill to prevent the government from printing on stamped envelcpes. The big concern in Dayton, Ohio is opposed to a repeal of the law, you should write to your momber of congress and ask that he do what he can to see that the law is repealed. The finest flying machine yet known is the North Carolina buzzard, you can see a sight of interest any clear day, by watching him dip, and dive and shave the blue empyrean without a quiver of his wings. He is a great flyer, and can go as high as he pleases. Mr. West Warren, went out bird hunting Monday evening, he reported birds as rather scarce. He shot at two gazooks, but he said they were so far off he doubted as to whether he hit them or not. He says gazooks are getting scarcer all the time, he seems to think it due to the cultivation of the fennel range, gazooks like to feed on the tall fennel. It is a current rumor that the in- surance company insuring Mr. David Katz stock had offered him fifty cts on the dollar on his policy for his stock of goods burned just before Christmas Why not make it twenty five, ten, or five cts, infact what is the use of giv- ing him anything? If the insurance company can say what they will pay on a policy,then leave the whole matter in their hands. The man who takes out the policy has the honor of pay ing the premium. That is* all. It is funny, how some cheap John chap can rare up, and kick at the moon, and bray like a donkey when he discovers that some one has opinions, they do not have to borrow from him. Opinions uttured in the interest of a common people, and yet this frothy mouth dunkey goes around giving his opinion of the Editor, It is then that the Editor regrets that he was so badly mistaken, when he said kind and unmerited things of this aforesid donkey. Buster Brown. Buster Brown, with Master Harrold, and a full support will be in Durham, Monday January the 16th. Piedmont Warehouse. The Proprietors of the Piedmont Warehouse change their ad. in todays issue. They will treat you right all the time. Give you the best for your tobacco and see that you have every possible attention. Drastic Liquor Law. A more strenuous prohibition law than any yet proposed was adopted in the house of the Oklahoma leglilature. It provides as the only punishin^!it tor violation of the law a term of not less than two and not more than five years in the penitetiary. Rainey Offers His Roose- velt Railroad Expenses Resolution. Representative Rainey of Illinois offered a resolution in the House asking for the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the railroad ex benses of Theodore -Roosevelt, for travel while he was President. The resolution proposes to give the committee authority to examine the breaks of the Pennsylvania Railway, the Southern Railway and the North- ern Pacific Railway; to determine what expenses of travel were paid by the formerJPresident. and what pro- dortion was furnished by the railroads themselves. The editor of the Asheville-Ga- zette-News, having nothing else to do, has %nred out that whereas there are thri% figures of tha same denomina- tion In this ft&r of gA ce—1911—the same has not occurred fdV 23 year and will not occur again foi 88 years—in 1999. All of which isUteresting if not valuable. Can*t Settle Case. The law is a great institution but has its defects as is demonstrated by a case now pendii^ in the courts in this county, in which Will B. I^berts, is charged with the killing of Jack, a dog of good character and the property of Sheiff J. S. MitcheU, of CarroU oounty, Va. The d ^ n d a n t was bound over to court for, killing a d<^ that afterwfuds prov<^ to be very much alive and the pr'>seci|^qn failed to show up at court. The stiwnge part of it all is that Mr. Roberts still stands indicted and there seems to be no law by which he can clear himself of a crime that every one knows he did not commit.—Mount Airy Leader. Justice Harlan of the United States S^upreme Court is quoted a^> predicting that some day ‘*a real man from the west” will come to Washington, narrowly miss being run down by an automobile, promptly ‘‘pullhis shoot- ing iron” and “fill the reckless driver full of holes.” “And,” adds the Jus- tice, “judge though I am, I believe the man from the West will get off s(»t free.*’ There are other communities than Washington in which the services of such a man are needed, and where we are confident, they would be r ^ warded with immunity from punish ment at the hands of the law. A Card Of Thanks. I want to thank my friends for the kind assistance given me in securing the handsome piano given by the Holmes-Warren, Co. Nettie Ray. They Never Fail. If some people would devote more time and attention, and more hickory oil to correctly guiding, atkl pn^>wly training their boys, tet-.ching them good morals, and good manners, and the higher law of right liyeing there would exist much less excuss for ap- pealing to a state Legislature for the passage of a law with a view of mak- ing a boy behave him-self. A boy disposed right, heeds the kindly meant admonition of his par- ents and avoids the wrong, a boy bent on wrong finds ways and means for breaking through any fantastical .Leg- islature anactment passed for hia res- traint. There should be less disposi- tion to saddle duties upon the state those duties clearely belonging to the parents. Court of War. (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.) England has a war dabt of |24’000, 000,000 which it will nerer pay. The intere^ account amotmts to $1,250,- 000,000 annually, iiritii^ the labor of Europe has to pay. Than think of the blood chat has been iqitned to create that burden^, and the sorrow and anguish it brought to millions of households, and then listen to the cry of the war lords for more army and battle ships, for more powder and cannon. No; it is time for peace measures, not for war measures; time to consider, to insist to combine and to remove the very possibiMty of a fight. It can be done and it is a crime agilnst mankind not to do it. Mebane, R. F. D. No. 2. Mr. and Mrs.|J. F. McAdams Eula and Alma, spent Saturday night and Sunday at Mr. J. F. Jobe’s, on no. 4. Mr. Julian Gill, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. Kennett McAdams Mr?. L. H. McAdams, at Mr. Alonzo Sykes, Mrs. Lon Sykes, has been quite sick for the past week, but is improving we are glad to say. Maine Gives Up Dead. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Sykes, Monday and Tuesday in Burlington business. The first human remains from the wreck of the old battleship Maine were brought to the surface by a dredge. They consisted of two ribs and some small bones, apparently bones of the hand, and they were carefully placed spent Monday | ®special receptacle to await recov- ery of other parts. The dredge also brought up some three-inch shells, a large quantity of coal, and a portion of the coal bui^ers lying apart from the ship, which is con spent I sidered as possibly confimatory of the on Southern Power Co. The Southern Power company have distributed large quantites of rolls of six strand cable wire, and material for the steel towers up and down the line between Greensboro and Durham, and it is anticepated that work in con- structing ^ e line will be completed in the spring. The pe<9ple are expecting much from the Southern power company It is thoc^ht it will encourage much manufacting developement, asside from giring to established industres a cheaps power. * County Teachers’ Meeting The second session of the Alamance Co. Teachers* Association for 1910—1911 met in the Auditorium of the Graham Public school on last Saturday, Jan. 7. There was not a lull attendancci of Teachers, but an interesting meeting was held. The opening exercises were conduct- ed by Prof. k G. Lindsay of the Gra- ham schools, assisted by a number of pupils, who rendered excellent music for the occasion. Messrs. B. M. Rogers, W^ilson, and L. M. Foust who were on the program as leaders of the subjects spelling, ph<mic8, and “The Primer of Sanitation were unable to be present «n account of sickness. The discussions of these subjects were led by Supt. P. H. Fleming, and were Perticipated in by a number of the teach^. The third and last meeting of the Associatcm will be held on Saturday before the second Sunday in February Before this meeting, all teachers are urged to read and study the book “How to study” and Teaching How fo Study” which will be the basis of work at the next meeting. T. T. Stafford, Secretary Burlington, N. C., R. F. F. 7. Mr. T. A Gill, spent Sunday P. M. at Mrs. Sarah Browns, Mrs. L. W. McAdams, spent Tuesday at J. F.

The work on the hulk is continuing with lut interruption, the men having expressed willingness to await the settlement of the question of overdue pay and other grievances. Death of Fred H.

Mebane has at last sold her fifteen thousand dollars worth of street im- provement bonds. Mr E. D. Edwards of New Yoric becoming the purchaser at par value. The town clips the ma- tured coupons amounting to about $600. We leam that the money from the sale of the bonds will be available about February 1st. We presume that steps will at once be taken look- ing to the b^rining of street improve- ments for which the bonds were yoted. Judiciously spent, the money ought to prove of great benefit to Mebane in improving the streets, they will be permanent enhancement of value. In the disbursement of this money much will go into the channels of trade. with the best glasses, only, consulation free. for one day Dr. N. Rosenstein will be at Burlington January the 17th. at the Drug Co. And at Mebane eye specialist next Tuesday Burlington Wednesday War’s Cost in Peace. Edmond Terry, a French economist, figures that to maintain Europe’s armies on a peace footing in the last 25 years cost $29,000,000,000, increasing the public debt of the European states from $20,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000 and constantly excluding from pro- ductive industry 192,000 officers and 3,800,000 men. Give Mebane Light. As contended by the Leader from its first publication, Mebane should have some street lights. We are told that as soon as the electrice wires of the Southern power company are stretched passed Mebane that we may get lights, but h<^T If some portion of the bonds issue had of been made available for lights this plan would have been feasable, but as it is, there is nothing in sight. The Leader is here to help Mebane, and it would have been derelict to its duty if it had not of advocated lights. A town the size of Mebane without a single street light is a peculuar pro- position in this age. Don't you ima- gfine for a moment that you are af- flicting the Leader by failing to pro- vide lights. The Leader is simple a servant in the interest of this commu- nity. It is your town that is suffering and there is coming a time when there will be men who will not permit it to suffer longer. the 18th.at the White House, for the purpose of examining eyes and fitting glasses, consulation free for one day only. Some thought Ed Dillard was having fits the other morning. They said he went out and turned over his buggy, then climbed on top of the house and crowed like a rooster. Closer enquiring revealed the fact that a little stranger had come to Eds hone, and he was re- joicing. Ed lives at Corbett. In refering to the matter of supple- ment of December 15th, to the P. 0. Department, the Post Master of Meb- ane did so with a view of ascertaining its legal status before the Department It would not be fair to attribute to him an unfriendly motive in the act as it was clearly within the province of his duties. It is to the credit of Philadelphia that a strong and widely-endorsed popu- lar protest has been made against the performance of “La Samaritan” in that city. The play goes far beyond the limits of the admissibility of pre. senting sculptural subjects on the stage, and no amount of literary or histrionic meiit it may possess could justify, shocking, as it would, by the intro- duction of the charter, the Saviour, the religious sentiment of the over- wheelming majority of the people of Philadelphia. No Room For Dancing Girls At State Fair. If the recommodations of Secretary Pogue, of the North Carolina state fair, are carried out by the executive committee the management of the 1911 fair will be instructed to rigidly cut out all shows in which dancing girls appear and games in which any phase of p ambling appears. Mr. Pogue dec-_ lares in his report to the executive committee that there are plaity of decent and interesting shows and inno- cent games of skill with fixed returns to be had after cutting out all the bad and unworthy ones that apply . The state fair is shown in the reports to h a^ been a reccHrd breaking success with 2,300 more entries than for the year previous. The premiums awarded aggregate $3,026, against $3,700 in 1909 A Masquerade Party, New Bank Begins Busi- ness at Winston-Salem. The Merchants National bank of Winston, began business Thursday in fine quarters in the Masonic Temple bulding. A great numt)er of deposits, large and small, were made. The bank is under the very capeable presidency ot George W. Maslin, justly regarded as one of the best bankers in the state, as cashier, and Owen Norvell, a pop- ular and able young man, as teller. The directors are among the most substantial citizens in the community! There was a Masquerade party pven at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Cooper at Carr December the 27 from 86ven to eleven o’clock P. M. The rooms of that beautiful home were ar- tistically decorated in the gay colors of the holidays, red and green. The young ladies were all tastifally attired in white linen, while the hostess was becomingly dress^ in a very light shaje of blue linen. After enjoying music rendered by the fair sex in lau ghter at their comical looking partness, we repaired to the beautifully arang- ed dinning room where delicious re- freshments were served. The party numbered about forty. ^ We wish for that congenial pair a prosperous and happy new year. A subscriber. The life of Fred. The 14 year son of Mr. and Mrs, W. R. Ward, was in a most pecular and heart breaking manner, cut short by death on last Monday Dec. the 26th. 1910. About 7 oclock he and his father and brother started out hunting, and in about one hour, through an accident he was shot, when this news reached the home it was made a mournful, and heart breaking home. It was a suddon shock to the entire community and has cast a gloom over the many friends and relatives of the bereaved family This sudde n shock should be a warning, to those who are unprepared for death. Be ye also ready for you know not the hour when your blessed Lord shall call thee home. Little did Fred tlunk when on that beautiful morning he was calling his dogs and holding the gun ready for squirrel hunting, that in one hour his heart would be shot from him. He was a great hunter, he was neyer to tired to walk four or five miles oppos- um hunting, he loved his dogs and any- where he went he wanted them to fol'ow. He had planed for great sport rabbit hunting xmas, and had told us all his plana for every day during the holidays, he was a great follower of his father, where ever he went Fred was most sure to go. He leaves a father and mother, three brothers and three sisters. The funeral services were conducted at Mt Zion church by Rev. M. M. McFarlan. He was quitely laid to rest at Mt Zion cemetary Tuesday Dec. the 27th. about 1 oclock. May G ^ bless his father and mother, and brothers and sistes and help them to be ready when the hour of death comes. Strange we never prize the music till the sweet voiced bird is flown. Strange that we should slight the violets till the lovely flowers are gone. Strange the summer skies and sunshine never seemed one half as fair as when winters snowy pinions shake the white daWn in the air. Ah those little ice cold fingers how they point our memory to the hasty words and actions, strewn along our backward trace’'' How those little hands remind us as in snowy grace they lie, not to scatter thorns, but Roses, for our reaping by and by. written by a sister. Will Further Dam Tennessee Legislature in a deadlock. It seems that forty-one of the forty- six regular Democrats in the House had signed the agreement drawn up ear- liar to remain out of the House until the Fusionists agree to dismiss the contests which they had instituted last Monday involving eight or more seats held by regulars. One other regular, who was out of the city, is realy to sign the argreement and it is asserted that three of the remainders will sign as soon as they can be reached. The effort is to prevent a session of of the Legislature, and make abortive the new election that returned a ma jority of Republican and Fusionist This is the work of Patterson gang and if it is effective will further dam this kind of Democracy. It is to be hoped that the good people of Tennes- see may be able to bind away out of it. Violent Earth Shocks. Violent earth ^shocks continued at intervals during last Wednesday at Kopal, Vyomy and other places in the government of Semiryetchensk, but they were not so destructive as those of the early morning hours, when many buildings were destroyed. Un- official reports say that hundreds * of persons have been killed or wounded and that the distress of the refugees is terrible, owing to the detruction of the heating apparatus in the houses and houses and the intense cold which pre* vails. Governor-General Pokotiloff re- ports that 1,000 families are without shelter in Vyornyr Many soldiers have been injured and nearly every house in the town, includ- ing the public schools and the gover- nor’s residence, has been damaged. The loss, however, is less serious than that occasioned by the earthquake in 1887, because many of the stone build ings were replaced by buildings of wood.—The Associated Press. War on the Hat Pin- Greenville Piedmont. Exis4 the long hat pins in Greenville. One of che police commissioner stated this morning that he would at the next meeting of the commission which is on Monday, bring before that body the ne cessity of a law requirmg either that the hat pins worn by ladies in the city be shortened or that all hat pins wear- ers put a g^ard on the end of the pins so that the projecting points will not ba of such danger to those nearby. A Great Proposition. If you are not pushing your end of the contest you are burn- ing daylight. No time should be lost, Every new subscriber should be added possible. It is the time to hustle, if you will go after them you can get thsm, we are going to make this stupen- deouse offer for the next 30 ^ y s or untill the 15th of February, we will give you for fifteen cash paid in annual subscribers or their equivelent in less amount thirty five thousand votes. This Candiiiates In Piano Contest. The big American meat packers like all the other highly protect^ inter- ests, insist that no measure of tariff protection less than that now enjoyed by them would enable the industry to keep going and return to those engaged in it a “reasonable” profit on their investment. The net earnings of the Armour Company, one of the constituent mem- bers of the Meat Combination, for the last fiscal year were approximately twenty per cent of tne captial stock. It is the earnings that tell the true tale; and they could be cut in half and still leave a profit which the ordinary business roan would be content to ac- cept as “reasonable” and one consid- erably larger than the average busi- ness pays.

Dont send anything to a Newspaper expecting it published without giving your name. It is a matter of good faith, and it must be kept.

There is a bill pending before congress a bill to prevent the government from printing on stamped envelcpes. The big concern in Dayton, Ohio is opposed to a repeal of the law, you should write to your momber of congress and ask that he do what he can to see that the law is repealed.

The finest flying machine yet known is the North Carolina buzzard, you can see a sight of interest any clear day, by watching him dip, and dive and shave the blue empyrean without a quiver of his wings. He is a great flyer, and can go as high as he pleases.

Mr. West Warren, went out bird hunting Monday evening, he reported birds as rather scarce. He shot at two gazooks, but he said they were so far off he doubted as to whether he hit them or not. He says gazooks are getting scarcer all the time, he seems to think it due to the cultivation of the fennel range, gazooks like to feed on the tall fennel.

It is a current rumor that the in­surance company insuring Mr. David Katz stock had offered him fifty cts on the dollar on his policy for his stock of goods burned just before Christmas Why not make it twenty five, ten, or five cts, infact what is the use of giv­ing him anything? If the insurance company can say what they will pay on a policy,then leave the whole matter in their hands. The man who takes out the policy has the honor of pay ing the premium. That is* all.

It is funny, how some cheap John chap can rare up, and kick at the moon, and bray like a donkey when he discovers that some one has opinions, they do not have to borrow from him. Opinions uttured in the interest of a common people, and yet this frothy mouth dunkey goes around giving his opinion of the Editor, It is then that the Editor regrets that he was so badly mistaken, when he said kind and unmerited things of this aforesid donkey.

Rainey Offers His Roose­velt Railroad Expenses

Resolution.Representative Rainey of Illinois

offered a resolution in the House asking for the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the railroad ex benses of Theodore -Roosevelt, for travel while he was President.

The resolution proposes to give the committee authority to examine the breaks of the Pennsylvania Railway, the Southern Railway and the North­ern Pacific Railway; to determine what expenses of travel were paid by the formerJPresident. and what pro- dortion was furnished by the railroads themselves.

The editor of the Asheville-Ga- zette-News, having nothing else to do, has %nred out that whereas there are thri% figures of tha same denomina­tion In this ft&r of gAce—1911—the same has not occurred fdV 23 year and will not occur again foi 88 years—in 1999. All of which isUteresting if not valuable.

Can*t Settle Case.The law is a great institution but

has its defects as is demonstrated by a case now pendii^ in the courts in this county, in which Will B. I^berts, is charged with the killing of Jack, a dog of good character and the property of Sheiff J . S. MitcheU, of CarroU oounty, Va. The d ^ n d a n t was bound over to court for, killing a d<^ that afterwfuds prov<^ to be very much alive and the pr'>seci|^qn failed to show up at court. The stiwnge part of it all is that Mr. Roberts still stands indicted and there seems to be no law by which he can clear himself of a crime that every one knows he did not commit.—Mount Airy Leader.

Justice Harlan of the United States S^upreme Court is quoted a> predicting that some day ‘*a real man from the west” will come to Washington, narrowly miss being run down by an automobile, promptly ‘‘pullhis shoot­ing iron” and “fill the reckless driver full of holes.” “And,” adds the Jus­tice, “judge though I am, I believe the man from the West will get off s (» t free .* ’

There are other communities than Washington in which the services of such a man are needed, and where we are confident, they would be r ^ warded with immunity from punish ment at the hands of the law.

They Never Fail.If some people would devote more

time and attention, and more hickory oil to correctly guiding, atkl pn^>wly training their boys, tet-.ching them good morals, and good manners, and the higher law of right liyeing there would exist much less excuss for ap­pealing to a state Legislature for the passage of a law with a view of mak­ing a boy behave him-self.

A boy disposed right, heeds the kindly meant admonition of his par­ents and avoids the wrong, a boy bent on wrong finds ways and means for breaking through any fantastical .Leg­islature a n a c tm e n t passed for hia res­traint. There should be less disposi­tion to saddle duties upon the state those duties clearely belonging to the parents.

Court of War.(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)England has a war dabt of |24’000,

Than think of the blood chat has been iqitned to create that burden^, and the sorrow and anguish it brought to millions of households, and then listen to the cry of the war lords for more army and battle ships, for more powder and cannon. No; it is time for peace measures, not for war measures; time to consider, to insist to combine and to remove the very possibiMty of a fight. I t can be done and it is a crime agilnst mankind not to do it.

thousand dollars worth of street im­provement bonds. Mr E. D. Edwards of New Yoric becoming the purchaser at par value. The town clips the ma­tured coupons amounting to about $600.

We leam that the money from the sale of the bonds will be available about February 1st. We presume that steps will a t once be taken look­ing to the b^rining of street improve­ments for which the bonds were yoted. Judiciously spent, the money ought to prove of great benefit to Mebane in improving the streets, they will be permanent enhancement of value. In the disbursement of this money much will go into the channels of trade.

War’s Cost in Peace.Edmond Terry, a French economist,

figures that to maintain Europe’s armies on a peace footing in the last 25 years cost $29,000,000,000, increasing the public debt of the European states from $20,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000 and constantly excluding from pro­ductive industry 192,000 officers and 3,800,000 men.

Give Mebane Light.As contended by the Leader from its

first publication, Mebane should have some street lights. We are told that as soon as the electrice wires of the Southern power company are stretched passed Mebane that we may get lights, but h<^T If some portion of the bonds issue had of been made available for lights this plan would have been feasable, but as it is, there is nothing in sight.

The Leader is here to help Mebane, and it would have been derelict to its duty if it had not of advocated lights. A town the size of Mebane without a single street light is a peculuar pro­position in this age. Don't you ima- gfine for a moment that you are af­flicting the Leader by failing to pro­vide lights. The Leader is simple a servant in the interest of this commu­nity. I t is your town that is suffering and there is coming a time when there will be men who will not permit it to suffer longer.

Some thought Ed Dillard was having fits the other morning. They said he went out and turned over his buggy, then climbed on top of the house and crowed like a rooster. Closer enquiring revealed the fact that a little stranger had come to Eds hone, and he was re­joicing. Ed lives at Corbett.

In refering to the matter of supple­ment of December 15th, to the P. 0. Department, the Post Master of Meb­ane did so with a view of ascertaining its legal status before the Department It would not be fair to attribute to him an unfriendly motive in the act as it was clearly within the province of his duties.

It is to the credit of Philadelphia that a strong and widely-endorsed popu­lar protest has been made against the performance of “ La Samaritan” in that city. The play goes far beyond the limits of the admissibility of pre. senting sculptural subjects on the stage, and no amount of literary or histrionic meiit it may possess could justify, shocking, as it would, by the intro­duction of the charter, the Saviour, the religious sentiment of the over- wheelming majority of the people of Philadelphia.

No Room For Dancing Girls At State Fair.

If the recommodations of Secretary Pogue, of the North Carolina state fair, are carried out by the executive committee the management of the 1911 fair will be instructed to rigidly cut out all shows in which dancing girls appear and games in which any phase of p ambling appears. Mr. Pogue dec-_ lares in his report to the executive committee that there are plaity of decent and interesting shows and inno­cent games of skill with fixed returns to be had after cutting out all the bad and unworthy ones that apply . The state fair is shown in the reports to h a ^ been a reccHrd breaking success w ith 2,300 more entries than for the year previous. The premiums awarded aggregate $3,026, against $3,700 in 1909

A Masquerade Party,

New Bank Begins Busi­ness at Winston-Salem.The Merchants National bank of

Winston, began business Thursday in fine quarters in the Masonic Temple bulding. A great numt)er of deposits, large and small, were made. The bank is under the very capeable presidency ot George W. Maslin, justly regarded as one of the best bankers in the state, as cashier, and Owen Norvell, a pop­ular and able young man, as teller. The directors are among the most substantial citizens in the community!

There was a Masquerade party pven at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Cooper at Carr December the 27 from 86ven to eleven o’clock P. M. The rooms of that beautiful home were ar­tistically decorated in the gay colors of the holidays, red and green. The young ladies were all tastifally attired in white linen, while the hostess was becomingly dress^ in a very light shaje of blue linen. After enjoying music rendered by the fair sex in lau ghter at their comical looking partness, we repaired to the beautifully arang- ed dinning room where delicious re­freshments were served. The party numbered about forty. ^

We wish for that congenial pair a prosperous and happy new year.

A subscriber.

The life of Fred. The 14 year son of Mr. and Mrs, W. R. Ward, was in a most pecular and heart breaking manner, cut short by death on last Monday Dec. the 26th. 1910. About 7 oclock he and his father and brother started out hunting, and in about one hour, through an accident he was shot, when this news reached the home it was made a mournful, and heart breaking home. It was a suddon shock to the entire community and has cast a gloom over the many friends and relatives of the bereaved family This sudde n shock should be a warning, to those who are unprepared for death. Be ye also ready for you know not the hour when your blessed Lord shall call thee home. Little did Fred tlunk when on that beautiful morning he was calling his dogs and holding the gun ready for squirrel hunting, that in one hour his heart would be shot from him. He was a great hunter, he was neyer to tired to walk four or five miles oppos- um hunting, he loved his dogs and any­where he went he wanted them to fol'ow. He had planed for great sport rabbit hunting xmas, and had told us all his plana for every day during the holidays, he was a great follower of his father, where ever he went Fred was most sure to go. He leaves a father and mother, three brothers and three sisters. The funeral services were conducted at Mt Zion church by Rev. M. M. McFarlan. He was quitely laid to rest at Mt Zion cemetary Tuesday Dec. the 27th. about 1 oclock. May G ^ bless his father and mother, and brothers and sistes and help them to be ready when the hour of death comes. Strange we never prize the music till the sweet voiced bird is flown. Strange that we should slight the violets till the lovely flowers are gone. Strange the summer skies and sunshine never seemed one half as fair as when winters snowy pinions shake the white daWn in the air. Ah those little ice cold fingers how they point our memory to the hasty words and actions, strewn along our backward trace’'' How those little hands remind us as in snowy grace they lie, not to scatter thorns, but Roses, for our reaping by and by.

Will Further DamTennessee Legislature in a deadlock.

It seems that forty-one of the forty- six regular Democrats in the House had signed the agreement drawn up ear- liar to remain out of the House until the Fusionists agree to dismiss the contests which they had instituted last Monday involving eight or more seats held by regulars. One other regular, who was out of the city, is realy to sign the argreement and it is asserted that three of the remainders will sign as soon as they can be reached.

The effort is to prevent a session of of the Legislature, and make abortive the new election that returned a ma jority of Republican and Fusionist This is the work of Patterson gang and if it is effective will further dam this kind of Democracy. I t is to be hoped that the good people of Tennes­see may be able to bind away out of it.

Violent Earth Shocks.Violent earth ^shocks continued at

intervals during last Wednesday at Kopal, Vyomy and other places in the government of Semiryetchensk, but they were not so destructive as those of the early morning hours, when many buildings were destroyed. Un­official reports say that hundreds * of persons have been killed or wounded and that the distress of the refugees is terrible, owing to the detruction of the heating apparatus in the houses and houses and the intense cold which pre* vails. Governor-General Pokotiloff re­ports that 1,000 families are without shelter in Vyornyr

Many soldiers have been injured and nearly every house in the town, includ­ing the public schools and the gover­nor’s residence, has been damaged. The loss, however, is less serious than that occasioned by the earthquake in 1887, because many of the stone build ings were replaced by buildings of wood.—The Associated Press.

Candiiiates In Piano C ontest.

The big American meat packers like all the other highly pro tect^ inter­ests, insist that no measure of tariff protection less than that now enjoyed by them would enable the industry to keep going and return to those engaged in it a “reasonable” profit on their investment.

The net earnings of the Armour Company, one of the constituent mem­bers of the Meat Combination, for the last fiscal year were approximately twenty per cent of tne captial stock.

It is the earnings that tell the true tale; and they could be cut in half and still leave a profit which the ordinary business roan would be content to ac­cept as “reasonable” and one consid­erably larger than the average busi­ness pays.
