OF VIRGINIA LIFE

Scenes About His Boyhood Home That Interest—Was in the Town Where the Noted Aliens Resided Going Soon to

Washington County.

"Dear Editor and Readers: "I have been in Grayson county, Virginia, since the 28th of April, and would like for my people to know something of the country and people. The people are exceedingly kind. All seem to be living well and enjoying life. They have not the improvements you have, no rail roads running through the county and they have very bad wagon roads, indeed. They have some good churches and good dwellings, with plenty to eat, and with their kindly treatment make one feel welcome and at perfect ease. The scenery is sublime and invigorating to one who has passed most of his days in Indiana. The mountains, as they tower heavenward, covered with native growth of beautiful honeysuckle, laurel and other blossoms, in all their different colors, interwoven with beautiful valleys, each one marked with a brooklet, the waters of which are as clear and inviting as the morning dew. The beautiful sward, dotted with cattle, sheep and horses, presents a picture that is very fascinating to the eye. Such is a very imperfect description of this country. I have spent some of my time on New River, which is a very interesting little stream. It affords wonderful water power and is now being spanned by several dams "of concrete where it will afford electricity that will be used in West Virginia and in "Virginia in the cities and towns.

Ths stream travels almost through Grayson county, and will some day no doubt make this a very rich county. I was in a cotton mill at Friss, Va., which cost two and onehalf million dollars, which is run by the power from this stream. The mill has 1,400 looms in it and they are making cloth by the thousands of yards. It was interesting to see the numerous machines of all kinds, and how perfectly they worked also the 1,500 hands engaged in making from the raw cotton the finished product. I also visited a little town called Gallax, which has jumped up like magic almost to 1,500 inhabitants, and saw several interesting things there one of which was a furniture plant. I could see the oak board as it was cut from the log, going into kiln and on through different machines and several different processes until it became a beautiful kitchen cabinet or some other piece of furniture. This furniture is shopped and sold everywhere in the United

States. "I am now just twenty miles from the court house in which the Aliens killed the judge and other officers and twenty-five miles from their homes. I passed through the town where they are now being tried. I expect to remain in this county about twenty days longer, and then I will go to Washington county, Virginia, where I may tarry for some time. "JOHN ANDTS."

It is now well known that not more than one case of rheumatism in ten requires any internal treatment whatever.

THE EXPECTED AND THE UNEXPECTED.

The following from the Buckeye Printerdom contains more truth than many sermons:

A well known Indiana man One dark night last week, Went to the cellar with a match

In search of a gas leak. (He found it.)

John Welch by curiosity (Dispatches state) was goaded He squinted in his old shotgun

To see if it was loaded— (It was.)

A man in Macon stopped to watch A patent cigar clipper WTe wondered if his finger was

Not quicker than the nipper. (It wasn't.)

A merchant, of St. Louis vowed Cheap grinting good enough He'd go dead broke before he'd spend

His money on "art" stuff. (He did.)

When your child has whooping cough, be careful to keep the cough loose and expectoration easy by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as may be required. This remedy will also liquify the tough mucous and make it easier to expectorate. It has been used successfully in many epidemics and is safe and sure. For sale by all dealers.

Hedges Absorb Moisture. A city man noticed while out driving the other day that nearly all the hedge fences are gone. He asked a farmer the cause. The latter replied: "If there is anything that produces a greater drain on the moisture of the soil, we are sure to notice it most during those spells of drouth that may be commonly expected during July and August. If the soil is a little thinner in one corner or across a knoll in a field, the effect of a drouth is noticed there first of all most of all, however, we notice the damage that dry weather is doing to our corn alongside the hedge rows. For two, three and even four rods in from the hedge we see the corn curl first, and many times it will curl there when it curls nowhere else in the field. Soon the tassels, as fast as they come out. turn white, the shoots become little and shriveled up with a small bit of dry silk on the end. The toll of the hedge row is then plainly seen, and it usually becomes more apparent as the season advances. At husking time we* gather the first eight or ten rows very quickly, and shovel the nubbiny stuff directly into the hog pens."

Now Cater to the Farmer. Time was when the business world took what came its way from the farmer and made no effort to get more. That was before the day when business men realized, as they do today, that the foundation of all prosperity rests with the farmer and the well doing of the farmer. It is surprising nowadays the length to which business of every line goes in order to court the trade of the farmer. The house that used to take only what came its way, mostly in city trade, is inaugurating the mail order plan of reaching the farmer trade, and the orders of farmers are received now the same as the oders of the best city customers, the bills payable at the end of each month. A condition of business like this thirty years ago would have been looked upon as being the rankest possible in theory, and one that would soon lead to the financial ruin of the firm attempting it.

There was a union service of all the Sunday school in Blue River township at the Westland Friends church Sunday. Sunday school convened at 9:30 a. m., and the church services were held at 11 o'clock. A basket dinner was served at the noon hour and the township convention was held at 2:30 p. m.

ELECTRICAL STORMS

:,-/•'-:-:•..•:•••-. -v-v s-' •.:. •.• •••••••.•.•-.• •. -e''r

GREENFIELD HEPUBLIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 6,1912

Predicted By Prof. Irl Hicks, the Preacher Prophet—He Has Been Giving Correct Predictions for Several Months.

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks is out with his June weather prognostications, and they are of a very general nature, predicting rains and electrical storms. He says:

A regular storm period extends from the 3d to the 9th with frequent rains.

A reactionary storm period falls on the 11th, 12th and 13th, precisely at the crisis of electric and magnetic excitement. Afternoon rains and thunder storms will be frequent and violent, continuing for days.

A reactionary storm period falling on the 22d. 23d and 24th, will likely take up and prolong the pendency to afternoon and evening thunder showers, coming over from the preceding period. While an excess of rain will not reach generally over the country, haymakers and others will do well to figure on frequent showers.

A regular storm period will be in progress the last four days in* June, central on the 28th. Look for a falling barometer, growing cloudiness and rain, wind and thunder on the 28th, 29th and 30th.

A seismic period covering the 26th to July 4th, central June 29th. Careful readers of the world's telegraphic news will see that general volcanic unrest will prevail about the middle to the end of June, with frequent earthquakes in wide extremes of the globe.

Each age of our lives has its joys. Old people should be happy, and they will be if Chamberlain's Talilets are taken to strengthen the digestion and keep the bowels regular. These tablets are mild and gentle in their action and especially suitable for people of middle age and older. For sale by all dealers.

Two Registered Perclieron Stallions TACOMA, No. 8543, ana GLENCOE, No. 8317.

Having purchased the above weli known Thoroughbred Draft Stallions of Charles W. Huston and Edward Jackson, I will stand them at my barn in Blue River township, one and one-half miles east of the Westland High School Building, on the Angling Pike.

TACOMA is a beautiful Sorrel, with flaxen mane and tail. He has good size, form and strong, flat bone, and plenty of action.

GLENCOE is dark bay or brown. He is four years old—has solid, compact conformation and good size. Both horses are good breeders, as is shown by their colts, and they are kind and gentle.

These horses have been standing at $15.00, but they will make the Season of 1912 at $12.00 to insure a colt to stand and suck.

Care will be taken in breeding mares, but I will not be responsible for accidents. Persons breeding diseased mares will be held responsible for damages. Persons parting with mares before they are known to be in foal wi-11 be responsible for season's fees.
