Keeping the Dollars at Home.
Ten years ago a farmer put
his initial on a dollar bill. The
next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a mer
chant. Before the year was out
he got the dollar bill back. Four
timer, in six years the bill came
back to him in exchange for Pro-
luce, and three times lie heard
ot it in the pockets of his neigh
bors. The last time he got it
back was four years ago. He
sent it toi a retail Mail Order
House. He has never seen that
dollar since, nor never will.
That dollar will not pay any more
road or school tax for him, wifi
not build or brighten any of the
homes of the community. He
sent it out entirely of the circle
of usefulness to himself and his
neighbors. •

IB
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 30.—Gov.
Hoke Smith has hit upon an in-
terecting plan to obtain from the
federal government the addition
al 50,000 names of confederate
soldiers which the state of Geor
gia now likes to make its records
complete.
The government has already
furnished Ga. with 70,000 names
from the rosted. but the remain
ing 50,000 have never been ob
tained because the government
has insisted on having $8,000
for the coppying work. As soon
as Gov. Smith becomes U. S.
Senator he will, make an effort to
get the consent of the govern
ment to have the names copied
by private individuals, which
could be done at a very much
iess cost.
Notice.
The closing service of the week
of prayer will be held in the
Methodist Church Friday night,
Nov. 10th. at seven o’clock.

as in Love.
Lincoln Beachey, aftr his flight
over Niagara Falls In a biplane was
ongratulaled on his daring by a re
porter.
“But I wasn’t daring.” the aviator
Baid. “I put my machine only to such
ordeals ns I knew'it could withstand.
In flying, as In love, we must run no
risks.”
He laughed softly.
"I know,” he said, "a young woman,
about to wed who decided, at the last
moment, to test her sweetheart So,
selecting the prettiest girl she knew,
she said to her, though she know It
was a great risk:
“'I’ll arrange for Jack to take you
out tonight—a walk on the beach In
the moonlight, a lobster supper and all
that sort of thing—and I want you, In
order to put his fldellty to the proof
—to ask him for a kiss.”
"The other girl laughed, blushed
and assented. The dangerous plot was
carried out. Then, the next day, the
girl In love visited the pretty one and
said anxiously:
“‘Well, did you ask him?’
“ ‘No, dear.’
”‘No? Why not?’
‘"I didn’t get a chance. He asked
me flrst.’ ”
MIRACLE IN THE MELONS
Where Do Those In Oklahoma Get
the Water in a Season of
Drought?
nisbop Quarle of the Methodist
Episcopal church spoke at a camp-
meeting, and referred to miracles
about which people talk so much. He
"aid down In Oklahoma they have not
had a good ground-soaking for two
years, nor have they hnd any dew on
the ground for many a long morning.
The crops are parched and the fruit
?rows pale. But the watermelons come
ap, verdant and rotund, ind filled
with water.
Where does the water come from?
There I3 your miracle. How Is it pos
