It seems to have been generally understood or expected that Mayor J. B. . TVestbrook would offer for re-election, but this now seems to be very doubtful; and with the election only five weeks from tomorrow it is high time that some good man (or woman now) was being placed in nomination.

Cleveland Star (Shelby) March 29: A big forest fire raged for several hours Sunday burning through 50 to 60 acres of timbered land belonging to Messrs. Zeb M'aune.v, Croft Hicks and Will Weathers in the Union sec| tion. It is supposed the fire started from a. burning stump in a >new ground which was burned off Saturday before. The high winds carried the fire through the forest at a rapid rate and while a great crowd of people gathered the flames were not extinguished until the timbered land was burned over Mr. S. L. Reinhardl and Miss Mamie Green were married at the Parsonage of the Second Baptist church on March 14. The ceremony being performed by Rev. W. A. Elam.

The stills were captured, one last Saturday and one Saturday a week ago on the line between Cleveland and Burke counties. No one was at the stills wtfen they were found Mayor "Pat" McBrayer pointed out yesterday, .three strange things to the Editor of The Stair. He says the pile of coal at Bostic where the Clinchfleld taps the Seaboard railroad is the largest pile of coal in the world away from a coal mine. There is a great mountain of it piled up at Bostic. In order to keep the mines busy mining and the Clinchfield trains going, the coal is brought to Bostic and piled up from, which point it is re-shipped to consuming points. The death of Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore last week reminded Mayor McBrayer to say that the Abbey at Belmont in Gaston county, is the only Catholic institution of its kind in the United States. Those who travel to Charlotte by way of Belmont from this section will recall the immense building there where Catholic priests are schooled and the convent near-by where children are educated. "Mrs. 1 ,viin lives on N. Warren street is the only person I know whose grandfather was in the Revolutionary war," continued the mayor. He says her grand-father was Capt. Benjamin Magness who served valiantly in the Revolutionary War and her father was Capt. Bob Magness who served gnlnntly in the Confederate army, yet Mrs. Austell is a comparatively young woman. FOUGHT AND FELT FOOLISH Friends of Fifty Years Had Scrap and Then Forgot What It Was About. John Baker, 55, and George Walsh, 57 of Chicago, have been life-long friends, but they chose Easier Sunday upon which to engage in an acrimonious dispute over some trifle which neither one can now recall. At any rate, the dispute grew into a battle | of such dimensions that a riot call I iii'mnrht out notice reserves. They ar lived just in time to see Maker bounce an iron cuspidor off the grey pate of Walsh. "No, J don't want m.v friend Raker arrested," protested Walsh, as the ambulance surgeons dressed the cut made by the cuspidor. "J don't want a little thing like a cuspidor to interl'er-with a friendship of fifty years." "He's a dear old lool," said Baker, "but I'd give my life for him. net me step out and get him a bunch of flowers or something." "What was the row about?" asked the desk sergeant. But the old men looked puzzled and thought deeply for some time. "Blessed if we can think what we were arguing about," they agreed as they shook their heads. ?

John Burroughs, famous naturalist, died at 2 o'clock last Tuesday morning on a New York Central train at Kingville, O., while returning to his home at West Park, Ulster county, New York from Pasedenu, Col., where he had been spending the winter. He was in his Stth year. John Burroughs was the venerable dean ol' nature-writers in the United J Slates. Through a score of books lie j shared with countless readers- his lifelong intimiicy with birds, bees, flowers and the whole out-of-doors. His highly developed powers of observation and the charm of his interpretations were the marvel of his critics. His flowing white beard, Ills kindly mien, his whole habit of life, and his literary style were rather reminiscent of thai famous New England school of essayists a generation or two before him. His earl: writing on "Expression" was at one time widely mistaken for the work of Emerson, a close reader of whom Burroughs had been from youth. His later works 011 nature suggested something of Thoreau, but as critics said Burroughs was the more sociable writer. He learned to love nature when lie drove cows at his birth-place farm, Roxbury, among the Catskills, in NewYork state, but anything like a literary composition was a bugbear to him as a youth. The story is told of how when he was fourteen.'in common with the members of his class at school, lu.was required to write twelve lines of original composition. He copied something out of a comic almanac. His theft was"detected. Again in desperation upon his second trial lie paid Jay Gould, his classmate, sixty cents for a twelve line verse which he handed in as li'is own. He was born in 1S37. In 1SG3 he wont to Washington with something' of an inclination to c-nlist in the Union nrmy, but lie decided to seek a government office. It Is related that with only a few of his poems as credentials he walked into the Treasury Department and asked for a job. It was agreed that his vernal verses really smelt of the woods, and smacked of sincerity. ITe would he a. safe man to watch the treasury vaults. Tie agreed to take the place. At a little desk, facing the huge iron vault where he kept tabs on those who went to handle the $f>0,000,000 stored there, he began writing of birds, to relieve his home sickness. Te result was his first hook, "Wake Robin." Some years later, after work as a treasury clerk and a national bank examiner had netted him' some savings. he bought a few acres at West Dark on the Hudson, where among the loaded trellises of a vineyard he found "more pleasure than in the closets of greenbacks." There.he renewed his emotional intercourse with Nature, building a real house overlooking the river?just above Pough keepsie. When rural civilization pressed a little close about him, he built his "slabsides" cabin a mile or two back in the woods. The title of his books included "Winter Sunshine," "Locusts and Wild Honey," "Fresh Fields," "Indoor Studies." "Birds and Poets," "Signs and Seasons," "The Light of Day? Religious Discussions from the Standpoint of the Naturalist," "Literary Values," and "Ways of Nature." He was a friend of Walt Whitman and one of his books was an appreciation of him. He was also a boon companion of Theodore Roosevelt in nature studies. During Col. Roosevelt's occasional clashes with "nature fak-. ers" and those who charged him with brutal instincts in his hunting trips, the venerable Burroughs always ' | ^ ? | "The Bank With the C LmiUMMWWi" II mini ccm^?jcag; Sna? W^KMHOM? WIMlWininiWlmWBMMttW came to the Colonel's defense. With John M.nlr the naturalist of the west, Burroughs once toured the canyons and collaborated with Muir in a "Study of Our National Parks." "R'iverby" and "Slabsides," Burroughs' retreats on the Hudson, became shrines for his many admirers, and those who made pilgrimages there were invariably received in the most democratic fashion by the celebrated naturalist. ? o WANT RED HEADED BABY Three Chicano Police to Shake Dice for Deserted Child. Because an abandoned baby has red hair, three homes are open to him, declares a Chicago dispatch. Some poor mother tossed her baby into the electric brougham of Mrs. Walter Key, who summoned the police when she found the lively donation. Desk Sergt. Wheeler took one look at the chubby youngster, pondered his thirty years of "childless 'marriage," and announced he would adopt the baby. But Lieut. Paul Wheeler and Chauffeur Caverlee walked up. Both have rod hair. After a look at the baby both decided they wanted him. "1 saw him first," insisted Sergt. Wheeler. "But you haven't got red hair," chorused the others. The controversy grew so healed that the precinct Captain ruled the baby be taken to an orphan asylum for the night. The contestants will shake for the baby. A TYPICAL CASEA PROMINENT. HIGHLY esteemed citizen and business man of Yorkville, who carries $15,000 life insurance, of which $9,000 is in the MUTUAL BENEFIT, said, to me a few days ago: "I see by your advertisement in The Yorkville Enquirer that the only dissatisfied policy holders the Company has are those who have less insurance than they want with it. I am one of those. I am sorry that every dollar I have is not with the Mutual Benefit." Jfis case is typical. 1 have had similar statements made to me frequently by Mutual Benefit'pi>1 icy holders, who also had insurance in other companies. If YOU will investigate the Mutual Benefit contracts, and learn the "MUTUAL BENEFIT STORY" you will fully understand why these SATISFIED policy holders are sorry that ALL their insurance is not in the Mutual Benefit.
