Commissioners' Court Meets.
The commissioners court held
a special “ session--at Fairfield
Tuesday, we learned from Com-
missioner S. L. Bryant of this
precinct Wednesday, for the
purpose of considering various
important matters which de-
manded the Court’s attention.-
Miss Shackelord, in charge of
lady demonstration Work for the
State, appeared before the court
and explained the details df the
work covered by the department
and urged the necessity for
a lady demonstrator, which
was declared to be next in im-
portance to that of a farm de-
monstrator. A motion before
the court for the appointment of
a lady demonstrator did not
carry, but it is understood mem-
bers of the court are considering
it very seriously and it is not
improbable that one will heap
pointed later. The question
seems to be: Are the ladies who
preside over the homes, yards
and gardens of the farmers of
Freestone county as worthy of
consideration as the male mem-
bers of their families? Proba-
bly when the matter has been
given due consideration, this
feature will be looked after.
An order, was passed by the
Court making Road and Bridge
scrip payable only to the person
to whom it is originally issued.
The Court also discussed
with Tax Assessor Tom Gilpin
the matter of placing the proper
value’ on lands listed for taxation
to avoid As much as possible
either over or under valuations.

OUR SECRETARIES OF WAR.
Only a Fsw of Tham Had Any Practical
Military Ekpscisnc*.
'Hie first secretary of w«r of ttie
United (States was Henry Knox, who
was Itojn in Boston July 2<>, 1750, of
Scotch Irish parentage. Knox was the
chief commander of, the artillery
throughout- the Revolution aud was
secretary of war both tyefure anil, after
Washington assumed the presidency,
being one of the feW Soldiers appointed
to (hat position. f
•Ills successor. Timothy Pickering,
hnd also seen active service,' arid
James McHenry, the third to hold the
post, had been a surgeon.in the Revo-
lution. Samuel Iiexter, the next In line,
was a lawyer, but Henry Dearborn.
Jefferson’s secretary of war, had had
much military experience. William
Eustls, appointed by Madison, was a
physician uud gave way to a military’
man, John Armstrong -James Monroe
and William II. Crawford were law-
yers, and since their time most presi-
dents have apparently considered a
legal education tin; best quailftcation
for a head of the war department.
U. S. Grant, who held the war port-
folio for a brief period in 1807, and
William T. Sherman, whoso tenure of
office was equally short, were the onjy
distinguished military men to hold the,,
post within the last half century.—St,
Louts Post-Dispatch.
STORY OF THE PENNY GIRL.
Likeness on the Old Cent Wee That of
Sarah Longacre.
In 18&> the government of the United
States made an offer of $1,000 for the
most acceptable design to. he placed
upon the new one cent coin soon to be
Issued. Some Indiaff chiefs traveled
from the northwest to Philadelphia to
Inspect the mint, whose chief engraver
was James Barton Longacre, who In-
vited them to his house;
The engraver's daughter, Sarah, ten
years old, greatly enjoyed the visit of
her father’s guests, and during the
evening, to please her, one of the chiefs
took his feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed It on her head. In
the company was an artist, who Imme-
diately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father.^ Mr. Longacre,
knowing of the competition for a like-
ness to go upon the cent, resolved to
enter the sketch for the prt/.e offered
‘by the government. To his delight, the
officials accepted It, and the face of his
daughter appeared upon the coin.
The face of Sarah Longacre has gone
into more hands, more pockets, more
homes, more stores—yes, more churches
—than any other coin in the United
States, if not In the world.—Pittsburgh

Disraeli and Gladstone.
Mr. Sliaw Leslie, an Irish author,
tells the following:
“My grandfather witnessed an effect-
ive piece of play In the hou;,e outing a
duel between Disraeli and Gladstone.
During a heated flight of oratory Glad-”
stone upset some pens on the table be-
tween them. Disraeli rose and, caNlng
attention to the fact, slowly replaced
them one by one. The effect of Glad-
stone’s speech was lost by the time
Disraeli had finished.”
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray.
Mr. Leslie says:
“My grandfuttiT'r recalled the ludly
crons Incident which brought them to-
gether. As they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other ,they
seized- the same bat. The effect was
ludicrous enough to uppcal even to pro-
fessional humorists, and they shook
hands.’1
Eggs Sterilized by Gas.
A method *>f preserving eggs which
Is said to keep them absolutely fresh
for an Indefinite length of time is in
use in France. New laid eggs in tin
eases holding 1,000 each are placed In
an autoclave, from which the air Is ex-
hausted until all the gas within the
shells has been drawn out. Then car-
bonic acid gas and nitrogen am Intro-
duced from tanks of these gases In
liquid form, and the tins containing the
eggs nre sealed with solder. Any
germs of decay are killed by "these
gases, and it Is said thiU the flavor of
Aie eggs Is In no way affected.
‘Canals of Vanioa.
The canals of Venice ar^ a part of
the Adriatic sea. The city is built on
118 small Islands or shoals In the gulf
off Venice. These Islets are connected
by several hundred bridges, and the
direction of the canals, of which there
are nearly 200, nre so formed as to cdtt-
tftltute the “highways." Thus it is due
to the situation of this city and n<Jt to
special intention of man that It has
canals Instead of paved streets.
Young Friends! If George
Washington Could Rise
From His Grays.
Young Friends! If George
Washington could rise from his
grave and s&e our cities at mid-
night lighted as bright as day,
hear the whirl of the electric car,
talk over a wireless telephone,
send a message by wireless to a
ship far out at sea, examine his’
own bones with an X-ray, view
the snowy fields, sunny plains
and canals of Mars through a
telescope, take a fight from
ocean to ocean in an air ship,
get run over by an automobile
going ninety miles an hour—but
what’s the . use going back a
hundred years? A system of
shorthand and bookkeeping
twenty years old is of but little
use today.
As the steam ship has crowded
out the sail boat, the typewriter
the goose* quill pen and poke-
berry ink, so have the famous
Byrne systems of business train-
ing, Bookkeeping, Stetfotype-
writing an<d Shorthand taken the
place of the old systems. The
reason is plain; these systems
cut the time and cost of becom-
ing an expert accountant or
stenographer in hali\ teach busi-
ness as well as bookkeeping, let
the student begin earning while
the student of the old systems is
not half through his course;
they give the student a better
practical working knowledge,
which means a higher salary.
These practical, modern, time-
saving systems can be had in
this section only in the Tyler
Commercial College. You would
not think of riding in an ox cart
in preference to an automobile.
Then why think of studyihg the
old old ox cart systems of ac-
counting and stenography when
you can get the Byrne systems
which possess such wonderful
advantages that they enabled
the management of the Tyler
Commercial-College to build the
largest business training school
in America, with an annual en-
rollment of more than 2,000.
