(Last week’s letter. )
It is still raining out this way,
and the farmers are changing colors
—getting blae* for instance—for
geting that old David said, “Trust in
the Lord and do good; and verily
thou shalt be fed.” :
Rev. G. C. Knowles is assisting
Rev. Mr. McMallen in a two weeks
meeting at Trion church near Dal
ton. ety
The second quarterly conference
for the Elizabeth circuit will be held
on Friday, May the 17th, at Vinings.
All the official - members are urged
te be present. ..
The many friends of Col. R. T.
Nesbitt will be sorry to knew that he
is in very feeble health again this
spring. -
Mr. and Mys. W. L. Jones of near
Dallas visited Mr. Jones’ mother
here one night the past week.
Mr. Horace Kimberly and son,
Frank, of Brittain, Texas, took ad
vantage of the very low excursion
rates to the reunion at Macon, and
arrived here Sunday afternoon very
unexpected for a week or ten days
visit to his mother, Mrs. Matt Kim
berley, and relatives and friends.
Mr. Kimberley moved from Powder
Springs to Tarrant county, Texas,
four years ago. He says they have
made a failure on some part of their
crops each year since he went there
but the prospects are very flatter
ing at present for fine crops this
vear in his section. He is looking
well and seems to be enjoying fine
health. He informs us that he has
not spent a dollar for doctor.s bills
since he moved to that country.
Messrs Joe and James Camp have
bought 15 acres of land from Col.
R. T. Nesbitt, paying $6O per acre,
and are erecting a nice five room
cottage on it right near Col. Robt,
Irwin’s residence., When completed
they will move their mother and
sister, Mrs. Jane and Miss Lucy
Camp, from South Side to their new
home. Their host of friends here
heartily welcome them back to the
community.
Now is the time'to sow a sorghum
patch near the barn to feed on when
you get through laying by. You
cannot plant anything that will pay
you better.. The writer has been
feeding it green at least four months
in the year for fifteen years with
very satisfactory results. It's eorn
and fodder and hay and oats, too,
unless your stock are doing very
heavy work.
The recent presidential election
proves the power of the press. If
either of the county papers had
supported Hon. Oscar Underwood
it could very easily have been car
ried for him.

RESPECTED BY MINE OWNERS
Superstitions Among Men Who Work
Where Daylight Never Penetrates
Are Rather Quaint, |
Many and quaint are the supersti
‘tions existing among coal miners and
each of them is respected by the wise
mine owner.
For example, it is an old-established
custom in the mines in the north of
England and South Wales to close
down a mine for one day when a man
is killed in the workings. In some
mines the closing day after a fatal ac
cident is the day of the funeral, but
more usually it is the day afler ithe
accident.
In some mines it is considered an
omen of ill luck for a miner to carry
his lantern in his left hand: and in
others, curiously enough, it is regard
ed as unlucky to carry the lantern in
the right hand.
One of the oldest customs among
miners is that known as “parting.”
When a batch of miners in England
get to work on a new seam, or cutting,
for the first time the first miner to
strike the coal with his pick leaves a
bit of the clothes he is wearing at the
place where he strikes the first blow.
A miner always tears a bit out of his
coat or trousers for this purpose, and
in mining districts where this custom |
prevails you may see many wearers
of clogs going about with several torn
patches in their clothes, telling of the
number of times they have fulfilled
the custom of parting in the mine. It
is considered unlucky to have such
rents in cloths mended. |
Every miner on taking on work at a
mine in the north of England receives ‘
a cardboard leaf, containing the regu
lations prevailing at that particular |
mine, which he must scrupulously ob
serve. It is considered an unlucky
thing for a miner to lose this card, and i
in many miners’ homes you may see
the regulation card hanging on the
wall in a glass frame. |
FATE OF THE OLD CHURCHES
Eighteen From New York City Have
Been Sold and Moved to Small
Towns.
Eighteen stone churches which were
on Manhattan Island from twenty-five
to two years ago are now scattered
over New York state, New Jersey and
Connecticut, says the New York Sun.
These structures were taken down to
make room for mercantile buildings.
The congregations moved uptown and
built new edifices. The old buildings
were sold and the buyers took them
down, carefully numbering each stone
and making full detailed drawings for
sale with the materials to prospective
purchasers.
There is a good market for second
hand churches taken down hereabout
and that can be moved by low cost
water carriage to places within two
hundred miles. Old New Yorkers
journeying upstate, through New Jer
sey or in Connecticut often come upon
a church that looks familiar, and on
making inquiries find that the build
ing formerly stood on Manhattan Is
land and after being taken to a new
site was sand-blasted so as to give
the stone a fresh appearance,
In the last dozen years an enormous
business has beén done in taking down
brownstone houses in Manhattan and
re-erecting them in many places. One
fine facade by a famous architect of
sixty years ago is in Boston, another
in New Haven and a number are in
New Jersey cities. .More than a thous
and fine brownstone houses were taken
down in Manhattan last year and the
stone and a good deal of the timber
were worked into houses and apart
ment houses, hotels and halls within a
hundred miles of this city.
Made Strong by Vinol
“I wish I could induce every moth
er who has a delicate, sickly child, to
try your delicious cod liver iron tonic,
Vinol.
“It restored our little daughter to
health and strength after everything
else had failed. It tastes so good she
loved to take it—not a bit of cod liver
oil taste—~Mrs. C. W. Stump, Canton,
Ohlo.”
The reason Vinol is so successful
in building up puny, delicate, ailing
children, is because it is a combina
tion of the two most world-famed ton
fcs—the medicinal body-building ele
ments of cod liver 011, aided by the
blood-making and strength-creating
properties of tonic fron.
If we can induce you to try a bottle
of Vinol as a body-builder and
strength-creator for your child, and
you do not find it is all we claim, we
will return your money on demand.

A “hair’s breadth” is 17-10,000 of an

use what is called a micrometer cali

“America is not deficient in patriot

Eye Strain.
Of all the misfortunes that could be
fall a human being, the loss of sight
is probably the greatest, and yet no
organ of the body is so constantly
abused as the eye. The trouble is
that the possessor of the normal eye
does not take into consideration that
in ail near work, as In reading, writ
ing, sewing, etc., the eye is actively
engaged as well as the hands and
brain, and that the eye only is at rest
when looking into space or when
closed, .

Trunk Trays.
Trunks have improved along with
everything else in this progressive age.
The trunk with one tray is a rarity,
and most trunks are made with five
or six trays. There is such a demand
for trays that they are sold separately,
and can be added to any trunk when
ever needed.
Chinese and Japanese Brides.
The Chinese bride is clothed in scar
let silk. But Japan, strange to say, fol
lows the western custom, and the Jap
anesc bride appears on the important
morn clad in cne resplendent garment
of white silk. The sleeves of this cos
tume are usually two and a half feet®
long, while the sash measures somae
11 feet in length.
Joke on Composer.
Signor Leoncavallo once had a rath
er amusing experience. Being in a
strange town where “1 Pagliaccl” was
being given, he attended the perform
ance to see how it was rendered, and
falling into conversation with his
neighbor, proceeded, by way of a
Joke, to criticize the work unmerci
fully. Next morning he found in the
local newspaper a long article repro
ducing al lhis statements and headed,
“Leoncavallo’s opinion of ‘Pagliacci!’”
