ITASCA, Mr. Editor: If you will give me space in your paper 1 will give the readers a few lines from the Lone Star State. Crops in this section are fairly good; cotton is fine, though the corn crop will be short. We have plenty of roasting ears now and will have cotton blooms in a few days. Part of the state of Tefc, as is so dry that they wont maka anything while other parts have fine crops. I think we will make corn enough to do us in this section. This is a good farming country and it don’t take but little rain to make a crop, came here last September anil there has been but little rain since. The ground has not been too wet to plow but twice since I have been here. I see it rains iu Georgia this year, so the farm era can tdo but little in the fields. We will be done our crops in a few days and then we will begin cutting and baling our hay We bale all of our hay out here. We don't pull any fodder—the | wind blows it all off. Good luck to The News and its many readers. W. T. GRAY. Could Not Be Better. No one has ever made a salve,] ointment, lotion or balm to compare | with Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Only tsc o' Summervills Drug THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1909. A HEROIC STRUGGLE. The Fight For Life of the Crew of c Wrecked Whaler. The story of the crew of a whal ing essel wrecked of! Cape Parry in a drifting fog is given in Mr. A. 11. Harrison’s book, “In Search of a Polar Continent.” The Alexan der at the time was steaming at full speed, and when first it struck the crew, not seeing anything in front sd them, thought they had collided with a piece of drifting ice. But on striking again the vessel imme diately filled with water, so they hardly had time to rush to the boats, which they had great diffi culty in lowering. It was then that Captain Tilton nearly lost his life. He was the last man to leave the ship, and just as the boats were being pushed off he jumped from the vessel, but missed the stern of the boat and fell into the sea. Luckily, however, he man aged to catch a rope that was thrown to him, but it was not with out difficulty that he was pulled into the boat when he was dragged alongside. The mist was so dense that they had no idea of their locality, but on reaching the shore they saw the rocky headland of Cape Parry loom ing over them, and then they knew that they had at least 400 miles to travel before regaining -Herschel island, this, too, along a barren and deserted coast line in open boats and probably in a raging sea. This wreck occurred on Aug. 16, yet on Aug. 26 they arrived at Her schel island, every one of them strong and well and no whit the worse for his adventure. They made the whole journey through rough seas and through gales of wind. Every stitch on their backs was constantly drenched. Os supplies they carried only that scanty portion which a whaleboat always has on hand for an emergen cy. Nor are the emergencies con templated of such duration. Every now and then they had to put ashore to find fresh water and to snatch a few winks of sleep, and I can answer for it that putting ashore here is no easy matter, for there are many miles of coast line along which it is almost impossible to find a place for landing in a strong wind. These men doggedly held on their course, crossing two large bays, Franklin bay and Liverpool bay, until at last they reached the Mackenzie delta, and, keeping well to seaward of this, they arrived in a storm which prevented ships from putting to sea. They had made a fino, heroic ef fort. It had been a case of do or die with all of them, and they had carried on a desperate and unceas ing struggle and had accomplished an average daily journey of forty miles in an open boat. John, Thomas, Richard, Etc. The popularity of John is be lieved to be due to the supposed suitability in baptism of the Bap tist’s name, just as Jordan was a name usually given to children who were baptized in water brought from Palestine by pilgrims or cru saders. The prevalence of William is due to William the Conqueror, that of Robert to sympathy with the misfortunes of his son. Thomas came in with the murder of the great archbishop. The crusading exploits of Richard I. made the name popular, while to the adven tures of the paladins we owe Ro land, Roger and Reginald. In the fourteenth century Charles, James and George are almost unknown. Charles only became popular after the execution of Charles 1., and George came in with the Hanove rian dynasty.—London Notes and Queries. A Feat of Swordsmanship. Napoleon, it is said, one day met an .old one armed soldier and asked him where he lost his arm. “Sire, at Austerlitz.” “And were you not decorated ?” “No, sire.” “Then here is my own cross for you. I make you chevalier.” “Your majesty makes me cheva lier because I have lost one arm. What would your majesty have done had I lost both?” - “Oh, in that case I should *ave made you officer of the Legion.” Whereupon the soldier immedi ately drew his sword and cut off his other arm. One Way He Could Help. An eastern college graduate ap plied for work in a Michigan lum ber camp. He was told to get busy on one end of a cross saw, the other end being in charge of an old and experienced lumberman. At first all went well, but at the end of the sec ond day the young man’s strength began to wane. Suddenly the old man stopped the saw and spat. “Sonny,” he said, not unkindly, don't mind yer tidin' on this saw,\ but if it's jest the same to you I wish you’d keep yer feet off the ground. ” —E very body's.

Men past middle life have found comfort and relief in Foley’s Kidney Remedy, especially for enlarged pros tate gland, which is very common among elderly men. L. E. Morris, Dexter, Ky., writes: “Up to a year ago my father suffered from kidney and bladder trouble and several phy sicians pronounced it enlargement of the prostate gland and advised an operation. On account of his age we were afraid he could not stand it and I recommended Foley’s Kid ney Remedy, and the first bottle re lieved him, and after taking the sec ond bottle he was no longer troubled with this complaint.” Sold by all druggists.

WESTON, Ocean-to-Ocean Walker, Said recently: “When you feel down and out. feel there is no use living, just take your bad thoughts with you and walk them off.
