What Would Be Your Course? Bull’s Love Can't Be Cowed.
I
■«
Sometimes the shortness of
human life comes to one with
a shock, just as it came to me to-
v. day as I read an item in a state
paper which said that an aged
man had just died. The aged
man was 62 years of age, while I
am approching forty eight. If I
live as long as this man, I have
just fourteen years more upon
this earth. What shall I do in
these fourteen years if they are
granted me? Shall I struggle
to lay aside a whole lot of money
for my children to spend or my
relatives to quarrel over, or shall
I 1 devote the money I make to
educating my family, and to give
them comforts and pleasures
while I am here to enjoy it with
them? Shall I quarrel and fuss
about fate, or shall I encourage
an equitable temperament, pa-
tient in all things, and try to
make it pleasanter thereby for
those with whom I associate?
Shall I devote tny whole time to
igg*. worldly things or shall I give
considerable time to the con-
templation of the future life,
and my relations to God and hu-
manity? In view of the very
short time one has to live at
best, what would be your course
under similar circumstances?—

Binghamton, N. Y.—Charles
Bull and Miss Maude 8. Veal
were married here, which was
nobody's business. Mr. Bull,
who is not in the meat business,
told Rev. H. 8. Sweetland that
he and his bride had traveled
from Scranton to avoid action by
the Veal family, who opposed the
match oecause of bridegroom’s
name.
Mr. Bull explained that he and
bride had put up with this opposi-
tion like lambs until they decided
to chop out for themselves and
stake all on their affection for
each other. He said they hoofed
it down to the station, horned in-
to a chair car and completed ar-
rangements for their marriage
while on their way here.
“Mr. and Mrs. Veal will never
get over beefing about this affair,”
said Mr. Bull, “but we can stand
their roasting, as we have in the
past. We’re here and the’re
here, so what do they care? They
cannot cow us.”
Family Reunion Fishing.Parly
A fishing party composed of
W. R. Magill, wife and children,
Era and Brit; Will Young, wife
and children, Mr. Coy Grant,
wife and baby, R. A- Magill,
wife and two children of Emory,
Oyley Tinker, wife and two chil*
dren of Mt. Vernon, Tom Tinker
and daughter, Miss Jewel), of
Mt. Vernon spent Wednesday
and Thursday at Terry lake
fishing. A very enjoyable time
and plenty of fish is reported.
In Case of Snake Bite.
Aside from the harlequin snake
of Florida there are only three
species of poisonous snakes in
the United States. These are
the rattlesnake, widely distrib
uted, easily identified and the
most dangerous of them all; the
copperhead of mountains and
rocky places, and the moccasl
of the Southern swamps, whi
extends no farther north than
Southern Ohio, and Wiimingw
North Carolioa.
When it is established that Ode
of these has inflicted a wound'
the first action should be to tie a
handkerchief or cord or rope
about the bitten member between
the incision and the heart. This
should be knotted tight, with the
object of preventing the blood
from carrying the poison into the
general system. Then as quickly
as possible the mouth of the bit-
ten person or companion should
be applied to the wound, which
should be vigorously suoked that
the poison may be drawn out.
This sucking must be done by
someone whose mouth is in per-
fect condition, however. An
abrasion or craek of the lip, a
broken fever blister, will give
the poison another access to the
blood. The incisions should be
cut that they may be made to
bleed freely and the sucking con-
tinued. This is the most im-
portant thing that can be done
to save the life.
The popular idea that the ad-
ministration of large quantities
of whisky counteracts the poison
is entirely in error. Such treat-
ment, the experts say, makes
death much more probable.
Small amounts of whisky to
stimulate the heart action are
beneficial but large quantities
only throw additional burdens on
the heart when life depends on
its efficiency. Whisky has prob-
ably killed more snake-bitten
people than it has ever saved.
Better leave it alone than to take
too much.—Farm and Ranch.
The Strong and the Weak Eye.
Thqusands of persons honest-
ly believe their eyes are natural-
ly weak, where in most every
case such eyes are found to be
defective, and are undergoing
severe strain. The normal eye
is seldom found M be a weak
eye. If you are interested in
preserving your sight, go to
Hamp Sanders on South Main
street, Paris, and have an exam-
ination made where guess work
is not practiced.—adv.

New Ginners’ Law in Brief.
The last legislature passed a
new law regulating the operation
of gins in tliis state, and inas-
much as it will be in effect dur-
ing the coming season, we give
below an outline of its provisions
which will prove of interest to
every cotton grower.
' Every gin must be licensed^]
and every ginner is required
give a bond. The warehouse
t department1 at
will furnish to any one interest
ed the necessary application
for license and bond, together
with a circular explaining in de
tail the provisions of the new
law. License fee is $1 for each
gin, and the amouqt of bond re-
quired for gins not previously
operated is $500^ for gins in busi
ness last year it will b» based
upon the number of bales ginned,
at the rate of $1 per bale, with a
maximum of $2500. Conditions
of the bond are: that the ginner
will take from each bale ginned
three fair, true and correct
samples of not more than one-
third of a pound each; that each
bale will be carefully ginned and
no foreign matter or substance
will be placed therein, and no
water or anything to increase the
weifttA will be added while the
bale is in his possession; also
that all dirt will be separated
from the seed of any cotton he
may gin.
The samples taken by the gin
ner shall be placed in approved
containers, which are sealed so
that they can only be opened by
cutting. On the containers will
be printed a certificate showing
that the sample is a true, correct
and fair one, and no fraud was
practiced in taking same; that no
foreign substance has been ad
ded to increase the weight; it
shall also state the name and ad
dress of the grower of the cot-
ton, and of the person owning
the land where same was grown,
the number of the gin and the
number of the bale on the gin-
ner’s books; name and address
of the person Tor whom it was
ginned; and weight of bale at gin.
Two of the samples taken by
the ginner are to be delivered to
the owner of the cotton, and one
to be retained by him. Ginners
will buy the containers for the
samples, and they may be had at
The Times office. Ginners who
have not already purchased con
tainers should place their order
with us at once, so they will be
ready when the ginning season
starts.
There is a provision in the law
requiring bales to be completely
covered with bagging but the
WHY AT THIS BANK?
If we were asked the above question with
reference to opening a bank account, our first
answer would be efficient service, strongest pro-
tection, and most liberal treatment consistent
with sound banking methods. Look into the
matter and be convinced that this is no vain
boast.

department announces that this
provision will be literally con-
strued for the coming season,
which means that this provision
will not be insisted on at the
present.
Every gin will be numbered,
and the bale must show this
number, and also the number of
the bale. The form of marking
will bo “B. No.-’’-(giving gin
number of bale), and “B. G. No.
-(bonded gin number).
The new law may cause some
little confusion at first, but the
people will soon become familiar
with its provisions. At
any rate, the law is now in effect
and must be complied with. Af
ter it has been given a triala if it
should prove unsatisfactory the
people will see that it is properly
amended or else repealed alto-
gether.
The Small Town Banker.
One of this country’s largest
bankers made the statement not
long ago that “the small-town
banker is in a position to render
his community a most valuable
service if he will recognize and
take advantage of the opportuni-
ty by doing his full part in coin
inunity welfare work.”
His statement excited an ex-
pression from one of our small-
town bankers w> the effect that
a large majority of small town
banks really do more to retard
community welfare and develop-
ment thafi they do to promote
them. This is a most lamenta-
ble condition even if only partial
ly correct as stated.
Many bankers consider their
banks institutions for communi-
ty service and conduct them ac-
cordingly. A splendid example
of this class came to my atten-
tion a few days ago.
The president of a bank in a
small town, when asked as to
his idea concerning a bank's
duties and its obligations to the,,
community, said: “Inasmuch
as we are the largest corpora-
tion in our town we feel it our
duty to take the lead in every
movement for the good of the
locality. We are the largest
subscribers to the local chamber
of commerce, civic improvement
funds, etc., and never fail to
have the bank represented in
every local improvement cam
paign. We also make it a rule
to take as much or more adver-
tising space in our local papers
than anyone else in the town,”
He further stated that “When
a small borrower needs from ten
to thirty dollars for a short time
we charge him the same rate
per cent per annum on his loan
that we would if he borrowed
$25,000 or more. We treat the
small customer as liberally as
the large one, thus makfhg him
feel that no advantage is being
taken of him because he is poor.
He will remember and appreci
ate this when he becomes a large
customer.”
