Brazil First Discovered
in Year 1500 by Pinzon
Following the discovery by Co-
lumbus of what was thought to be
a part of India, the Spanish sov-
ereigns applied to Hope Alexander
VI, who whs recognized as the ar
biter of International disputes, for
a decree which would entitle them
to share In any lands discovered in
the westward search for India.
Prior to the time of Columbus,
westward exploration had been ul
most entirely under the auspices of
the kina of Portugal.
Alexander VI Issued a degree in
which all the undiscovered regions
of the world were divided between
Spain and Portugal at a line fixed
by the Treaty of Tordestillas In
171)4 at !V70 leagues west of the Cape
Verde islands, and Spain was given
full power to colonize discoveries
west of this line while Portugal
was limited to lands east of the
line.
Contrary to all expectations,
Portugal was very nearly deprived
of any part of America, as all of
the western hemisphere except a
part of I ho coast of Brazil lay be-
yond the “line of demarcation."
What later became Brazil was
first discovered In If,00 by Vicente
Yanez Pinzon, a companion of Co-
lumbus on an early voyage, and was
reached in 1501 by Pedro Alvarez
Cabral. The latter touched the
coast on Good Friday and took over
the region in the name of the king
of Portugal on Master Sunday.

Eagle, Sept. 25.—The young feed
stuff that was planted when the
cotton was plowed up is growing
nicely, due to the rains we have ev-
ery few days.
Most everyone is about through
work. Seme are scrapping cotton
and some are gathering corn. With
another week of pretty weather the
fall work would just about be fin-
ished.
Lee Keen happened to the mis-
fortune of breaking his arm again
Sunday. This makes about the
fourth time the arm has been bro-
ken.
Our school starts next Monday,
the 2nd of October. Miss Ezzell will
be with us again this school term.

Forest Grove. Sept. 26.—Most of
the cotton has been picked, but
there is still quite a bit of scrapping
to do. Several have been busy mak-
ing syrup There hasn’t been much
corn gathered yet, but given favor-
able weather and that will be the
next important work for the far-
mers.
O. A. Kyle nas received notice
that he is to take charge of his new
route out of Dime Box on November
1, Mr. and Mrs. Kyle and family
will move there next month. Los-
ing this family from our commun-
ity is quite a blow, but I’m sure ev-
eryone joins me in wishing them
happiness and success in their new
home. Mr. and Mrs. Alva Watson
will move to Mr. Kyle’s farm.
High school students from here
taking advantage of the bus to Lex-
ington are: Frank, John William
Crim, Hubert Watson, T. J., James i
Kyle. Robbie, Jessie Ellis and Mar-
gie Currey. Thoee from here going
on the Rockdale bus are: Louise Al-
ford. Annie Lois Anderson. Hardy
Young, Lee Keen. Woodrow and
Willard Currey. The majority ol
these boys and girls w’ould have
been unable to go had it not been
for the transportation.

Taylor hospital Sunday for train-
ing. Doris is a last year’s gradu-
ate of Rockdale. Her many friends
here feel sure she will make good
in this work also.

this, came in Monday for a visit
with Mr. and Mrs. C. P. McLaren.
There were only a few at the cem-
etery last Thursday. Those present

ing but left enough for another day’s
work. The third Thursday, October
19, we meet again. Come bring
•cmething to work with and your
lunch. Please don’t forget the date.
On resignation of Mrs. W. E. Al-

The titles of Mr, Mrs. mil
are several centuries oi l. In l>no!;s
of the Six teen lit century, "Mr." was
rend 11s “Master" and "Mrs." as
"Mistress." The title Miss is merely
and abbreviation of "Mistress," and
formerly any woman or girl was ad-
dressed as “Mrs." whether married
or not. According to Edwards’
"Words, Facts and Phrases." at a
time when men were generally
called by their < hristhm and sur-
names only, the word "Mister’’ was
probably applied as a sort of title
to those who had learned a mys-
tery or trade, and who would he
looked upon as of higher rank or
position than mere laborers or hus-

Origin of “O. K.”
Of all the suggested explanations
of its origin, probably the most
likely one is from the name Aux
Cayes (pronounced O. K.) in Haiti,
from which the best tobacco and
rum were imported in colonial
days. The name of that port was
frequently written as "O. K." and
the letters came to signify good
quality In other goods. The first
Jacob Astor used the letters to
indicate if a man was trustworthy.
Andrew Jackson In 1790 proved a
bill of sale for a negro on the Sum-
ner County (Tennessee), court rec-
ords, “which was O. K." One au-
thority traces It to a Choctaw In-
dian word “okeli," meaning "It
Is so."
Peak (• Visible 200 Mile*
The great Mount Rainier extends
over nn area of 100 square miles,
and looks down on a multitude of
smaller peaks. It covers a larger
area than nny other single peak In
America, though its height, 14,408
feet, does not quite equal that of
Mount Ellcrt in Colorado. Its huge
bulk and the abrupt rise from its
base make it particularly impres-
sive from whatever point it Is
viewed. It dominates the landscape
throughout the state of Washing-
ton and for long distances beyond
the slate border, whenever It is not
hidden by Intervening bills. It can
be seen 200 miles away.
Loudest, Faintest Noise
An airplane engine and propeller
make the loudest noise ordinarily
encountered, according to re-
searches. They make more noise
than a holler factory, a pneumatic
riveter, thunder, or a roaring lion.
The faintest noise ordinarily en-
countered Is that of the beating of
« person's heart.
