RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesa<*.
Rev. T. E. Tedder filled his regu
lar appointment at Zion last Satur
day and Sunday and did some good
preaching.
Miss Callisu Anderson and sister
and Misses Lula Mae Moody and
Susie Clarke, of Lucile, attended
preaching service here Sunday.
Very sick man to the doctor: “How
do you think a warmer climate
would suit me, doctor?’’ “Great
Scots, man, that’s what I’m trying
to save you from.”
A fond father found his little ten
year old son weeping bitterly, and
asked, “What's the matter, little
man?" The boy replied, “Oh, I’ve
had a terrible scene with your
wife.”
Now, boys, are you going to let
“Incognito” knock your cranium into
a jelly-fish and say nothing? No
doubt you have contemplated matri
mony, too, and have some experience
that would prove interesting. “In
cognito” will have you in a net with
close drawn meshes and another
draw on it would place you on the
acknowledged list. Throw your hat
in the ring, asking no questions as
to how th’s experience was gained.
Possibly vou have had some expe
rience, too. No do il:t Incognito is
holding a reserve cannon shot to
he turned loose should any one dare
to reply. But to Incognito: You
hit a staggering blow right between
the eyes and your letter brings
about a deep and careful considera
tion.
CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS
ARE SIGNS OF PROGRESS
Several churches in Early county
are receiving new coats of paint.
Others are being improved in other
ways.
The new Presbyterian church at
Cuba is attracting the attention of
tourists. Jakin Baptist church has
recently been painted and a collec
tion is now being taken for then
new four hundred dollar piano. Sow
hatchee Baptist church is receiving
several new coats of paint, and
Pine View Baptist church is about
to receive new benches.
Every resident of the county is
interested in these improvements
and many who are not members of
these churches have given financial
aid. Good roads and attractive pub
lic buildings make a favorable im
pression on those prospective set
tlers who come to look us over.

issued against those who failed to
pay their paving assessments last

Black Bears Becoming
Nuisance in Minnesota
St. Paul. —The mischievous black
bear has become so annoying to set
tlers, tourists, campers, villagers and
others In Minnesota’s vast forest lands
that he has been made the object of
proposed legislation.
A bill Introduced in the Minnesota
legislature would appropriate money
“for the relief of individuals for in
juries suffered to their persons and
properties by reason of attacks from
bears.”
Under the protection of a state law
the bears, according to game wardens,
have rapidly increased and these offi
cers liken their number to Minnesota’s
famous 10,000 lakes.
Flour, vegetables, jams, fruit and
other delicacies brought Into the woods
for human consumption offer the
greatest temptations to the bear fam
ily, game wardens say. Last summer
the wild berry crop was exceptionally
poor In Minnesota and the hungry
bears frequently pried the screens or
doors from frail summer cabins to help
themselves.
Death Duties Break Up
British Landed Estates
Glasgow.—The great estates of Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland are doomed,
owing to death duties, which some
times total as high as 60 per cent.
Speaking before the Glasgow Con
servative club, where he was enter
tained on the attainment of his ducal
jubilee, the duke of Montrose said be
doubted that the rising generation
realized the transition which is taking
place In regard to their future.
“We are running very fast in these
democratic times,” he said, "and the
big estates and ancestral castles which
were a feature of my younger days
must gradually disappear.
“The landlords' rights are being cur
tailed every day, but nevertheless I
cannot help but think that I have lived
during the most prosperous time of
this old country of ours. Possibly we
won’t miss the old castles, after all.”
Worship Barber Pole
Manila, P. I. —A red-and-whlte
strlped barber’s pole has become an
object of worship on one of the small
Islands of the Philippines. The pole
somehow strayed Into the native vil
lage—possibly being washed upon the
shore from a wrecked ship—and has
been set up as a fetish.
Glacial Monument Created
Washington.—The first glacial mon
ument was created In a Presidential
proclamation Issued on recommenda
tion of Secretary Work, setting aside
an area of 1,820 square miles on the
southeast coast of Alaska. It will be
known as Glacier Bay National mon
ument.
