A LEGEND "
In a certain village in central
Tennessee an oak and a hack
berry tree stand side by side
right in the middle of the street.
A curious legend is told about
those trees and it has many
times protected them from the
cruel stroke of the ax.
Long before the white man
came to this country there dwelt
a fierce Indian tribe near this
place. This was one of the
many tribes which, combined,
formed the powerful Creek Na
tion.
The highest chieftain had a
beautiful dauhgter, Dancing
Eyes, and in the whole tribe
there was no brave who would
not have given his life willingly
for her. One of the young war-,
riors of her people loved her de- 1
votedly and she seemed to recip
rocate his love.
About this time a handsome
young chief f r om a neighboring
tribe was wounded near their
village and the warriors brought
him home.
The father of Dancing Eyes
took the suffering brave to his
lodge where Dancing Eyes
nursed him back to health again.
Lion Heart, as the stranger
was called, fell in love with her
and she plighted her troth to
him. The suit was favorable to
the old chief so the marriage
was solemnized.
The defeated lover, however,
never ceased tn love Dancing
Eyes, and he d' chred vengeance
on the happy bridegroom.
One day the young husband
happened to be left alone in a
forest when he was returning
from a hunt with all the war
riors The old time rival chanced
upon him there, and a fierce bat
tle ensued. It resulted in the
death of the happy Lion Heart.
The other fled.
When the company, victorious
and ladened with spoils of a suc
cessful hunt, entered the village,
Lion Heart was missing. Danc
ing Eyes was assured of his
safety, and was informed that
he had stopped at the bubbling
spring some distance back in the
forest, whence he would present
ly come.
But night, in all her dusky
splendors, came on, and no Lion
Heart. Dancing Eyes was fran
tic. She led the searching party
into the forest and spied her
dead husband beside the spring.
She snatched the spear from
his heart, and, plunging it into
her own, fell dead across her
mate.
The heartbroken old chief
commanded that an acorn should
be placed in the youth’s hand,
and a hackberry in the maiden’s
hand to show that they were
worthy to enter the Happy Hunt
ing grounds. They were covered
with earth and left undisturbed.
In due time an oak tree sprang
from the acorn and a hackberry
tree fram the hackberry.
The trees are today just as
they grew then. All the other
trees in the forest have fallen in
the onward march of civilization,
but these two are left to tell the
story of the sad fate of the lov
ers. So long as they both shall
live they will be protected by
the romance loving people of
this little hamlet.—Henrietta
Lambdin, in Barnesville News-
Gazette.

THANKSGIVING IN BINGVILLE
Bingville is preparing to cele
brate Thanksgiving in a manner
which shall be a credit to her as
one of the most enterprising
towns in the county.
On the morning of Thanksgiv
ing Day the Rev. Moore will
hold Thanksgiving service at
the Bingville church to which
everybody in these parts is in
vited with much cordiality. The
church will be het up especially
for the occasion and after the
service the Ladies’ Aid will
serve a Thanksgiving dinner in
the basement of the church, con
sisting of turkey, plum pudding,
sweet potatoes and other pota
toes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin
pie, nuts, raisins, and coffee, all
for the small price of 25 cfs.
And if you wish a second help
ing it won’t cost you anything
extra. The proceeds from ths
dinner is to go toward paying
the pastor his back salary, which
has been due for the past three
years. If you patronize this din
ner you will not only get all you
can eat, but you will also be
doing Rev. Moore a great favor,
being as he needs the money.
In the afternoon there will be
a shooting match for a turkey
in Si Hoskin’s pasture back of
Bingville. Hank Dewberry is
getting up this match. Hank
bought a sick turkey off of Lem
Brown last week and has been
trying t j keep it alive until after
the match is over. Hanks
charges 10 cts. per shot at a
mark 100 yards away, and who
ever comes the closest to the
mark gets the turkev. The shoot
ing will take place between 1
and 2p. m., and Hank desires
us to requests the public to kind
ly remain within their homes
during this period unless they
wish to be shot in the vitals. In
that case they will probably be
gratified if they don’t keep un
der cover. Only rifles will be
allowed in the match. Hank
says shotguns scatter too much
for safety. See Hank’s adver
tisement of this match in anoth
er column.
In the evening th me will be a
grand ball in the auditorium of
our new town hall, in which the
young people of Bingville and
adjoining towns are kindly re
quested to participate. Light
refreshments will be served
about 7 o’clock for the benefit of
those who feel that way, and
after that the dancing will begin
and will continue until an early
hour * the following morning.
Music will be furnished by the
Bingville Horn band, assisted by
Clem Wilkins, the une-eyed fid
dler of Sorrow Hollow. Every
body go and help to have a good
time. The expenses of this
dance are not expected to be
large. If they are larger they
will be beyond expectations. The
expenses will be divided equally
among the gents present.
There are several other smaller
social functions for Thanksgiv
ing in Bingville, such as dinners
to which neighbors have been
invited, pop corn parties in the
evening and so on.—Bingville
Bugle.
It is little use for the local
editor to waste his lungs and
gprain his spine in trying to
boom a town when the citizens
all stand around with their hands
in their pockets and
ly wait for something to turn up;
If the capitalists <r business
rm n do not put their shoulders
to t le wheel and do a little boost
ing it is useless for the editor to
try and boom things. He can
write “boom” articles till he
gets baldheaded, but if the citi
zens themselves do not take hold
and push, the town will forever
stick in the mud. Os what use
is it for the local paper to sug
gest improvements and new en
terprises if the suggestions are
never acted upon? One man
cannot boom a towm. It requires
the concerted action of the citi
zens. When one man shoulders
a town and attempts to carry it
there are always a lot of cranky
kickers ready to jumn on top of
the load. Unitv of action is
what knocks.—Richland Geor
gian.

A DANGEROUS PROGRAM -
Doctor Schurman, president of
Cornell University, says that
he regards- Mr. Rooesvelt’s new
nationalism as the most revolu
tionary and dangerous program
; mv political leader has laid be
fore the American people since
the close of the civil war.” All
the p r esijens of universities
and colleges seem to feel about
the same way, and the people of
the state of New York agree
with the professors by 60,000
plurality. President Schurman
further savs: “The new nation
alism spells Caesar sun govern
ment and bankruptcy in busi
ness; and all that without add
ing a cent to the income of the
wage earner or any other citizen
except the politician and his
army of new government offi
cers.” f
I'eddv is yet to be heard from,
and this fight between the Re
publican literati and the Colonel
may be viewed with composure
now that the people have decided
that their salvation is to rest on
the old Democratic princij la:
“Eopal rights to all, and special
privileges to none.”
THANKSGIVING.
Thanksigving Dav will be very
duly observed by all good Demo
crats, as they have much to give
thanks for. Mr. Roosevelt’s new
nationalism the concentration
of great power, which under the
Constitution is reserved to the
people of the several states—is
buried with its author under an
avalanche of opposing votes.
For such a signal favor, supreme
thanks should be given.
The standpatters have been
defeated and a people’s Congress
pledged to tariff revision down
ward, has been given power to
carry out the pledge; for this
everyone, high or low, rich or
poor, should give thanks.
Honest and patriotic Republi
cans have helped us Democrats
togain a great victory t) the
end that equal rights to r.ll and
special privileges to none may
be the law of the land, and for
this both will join in giving
thanks.
A LAWWER STUNG
A sad and seedy individual
gained admission to the offices of
one of the city’s best known le
gal firms, and at last somehow
penetrated to the sanctum of the
senior partner, says the New
York Weekly.
“Well,” asked the lawyer,
“what do you want?”
The visitor was nothing if not
frank.
“Half a dollar,” he said boldly.
The man’s unusual manner
caught the lawyer’s curiosity.
“There you are,” he said,
handing out the money. “And
now I should like to have you
tell me how you came to fall so
low in the world.”
The visitor sighed. “All my
youth,” he explained, “I had
counted on inheriting something
from my uncle, but when he
died he left all he had to an or
phan asylum.
“A philanthropist,” comment
ed the lawyer. “What did his
estate consist of?”
“Ten children,” said the visi
tor—and vanished.

A CONVICT’S STRANGE CLAIM
A strange claim for a convict
is the authorship of that beauti
ful hymn, “Just For Today,”
yet in a Canadian prison, serv
ing a seven year term, is an
Englishman, who makes that
claim and, furthermore, clearly
establishes it. An erstwhile
British evangelist. William
Buckle, is now imprisoned in
the provincial penitentiary in
Kingston for obtaining money
under false pretenses. Pretend
ing that he was a private detec
tive Buckle blackmailed many
unsuspecting people into giving
up large sums of money. Re
cently in a letter to the Anglican
archbishop of Ottawa, the pris
oner established his claim to the
authorship of the sacred song,
generally believed to be anony
mous.
It was in July, 1878, while he
was addressing an open air meet
ing in Hyde Park, Eng., con
cerning the love of God as ex
emplified in the provision He
made for man’s sustenance, that
an infidel in the audience inter
rupted asking: Why pray for
daily bread; why not forayear’s
sucply?” Huckle says he replied
with the story of a little girl
who the same question,
said: “Because we do not want
stale bread—we want fresh
bread each day.”
Continuing his letter, Buckle
says that the incident lernained
in his memory an I he composed
a leaflet entitled “Just For To
day, ’ which the following Sun
day he recited at an open air
meeting. An Australian in the
crowd offered to have 20,000
printed, and Huckle agreed, his
name being signed. Another
20,000 were printed in 1887, and
20,000 in 1898. I, has also been
printed in religious papers.
Bishop Wilberforce,of the Church
of England, was once credited
wi h the authorship of the poem,
but he himself never laid claim
to it. Others have claimed it,
but hive never been able to fur
nish proof. The hymn is as fol
lows:
“Lord for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of
sin,
Just for today.
“Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and
deed,
Just for today.
“Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself,
Just for today.
“Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinkingly say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
“Let me in season Lord,be grave.
In season gay;
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Just for today.
“Lord for tomorrow and its needs
I du not pray;
But keep me, guide me, love me,
Lord,
Just for today.
Archbishop Hamilton, n f Otta
wa, has investigated Buckle’s
contention and is convinced of its
truth. Before asking that the
author’s name be attached to the
stanzas in the new Canadian An
glican Book of Common Praise,
however, he will have an attor
ney investigate the matter fully.
NOT WORTH IT
A young negro walked into the
office of a prominent lawyer, in
Louisiana, and said:
“Boss, I kum to see you 'bout
gettiu’ me a ’vorcement.”
“What’s the matter, John,”
said the attorney, “can’t you get
along with Mary, or have you
found some other girl you like
better?” The negro, with a grin
admitted that he had found such
a girl and asked: “What you
goin’er charge me, Mr. Charlie?”
“Fifty dollars, John,’’said the
attorney.
The negro moved uneasily
about the office, scratched his
head, but did not speak. After
a few minutes the lawyer asked:
“Wnat is the trouble, John?”
“I just tell you, Mr. Charlie,”
said he, “there ain’t no SSO diff
erence in them gals.”
