A little attention would help. The Christmas holidays passed very quitelv in this section, notwithstanding the fact that a good supply of bug juice was ordered. It can be safely said, we believe, that there was less drunkenness and disorder than at anv holiday season within the memory of the younger generation. Prohibition does not prohibit, perhaps, but it does ; help. The time of the year for pro- 1 perty owners in this State to 1 come forward and swear falsely has arrived.

The an-| S a#Miection of officers stirs up praftfe, and the voters quietly, g<S*tully and fearlessly walk ^HWfthe ballot box and register their choice of men for the town's officials. Then the count - is announced and the men re turn to their work with the same kind feelings for their fellows which they had before. There is nothing better in town man * agement than harmony. 1 Chesterfield county is one of \ the four counties in the state in ] which every school district has j voted a special school tax. This ] speaks well for the county. It , shows that the people are de- ] termined to have schools and ( educate their children. "The : I'oor county" is yet to rank as v one of the very foremost coun- j ties cf the state in intelligence, 'hrift and general prosperity. In no other section of the state, perhaps, has there been the progress made by Chesterfield county i.uring the past ten years, and in 1:0 section of the county has this been more noticeable than in t'ie section surrounding Page 1: nd. Aden, the place to which Rob ert Ney McNeely had started to bagin his work as consul is a peninsula and town near the southwestern end of Arabia, connected with the mainland by a iurrow sandy isthmus. In a broader sense the name includes the whole British territory in max pari 01 Arabia comprising the peninsula and isthmus and a r inrow strip of land along the coast, making a total of about 75 square miles. The peninsula is of volcanic origin, and the town is built in the crater of the old volcano. Rain Is so scarce that no cultivated crops can be grown Water is obtained from wells in the crater and trom the hills. 11 was captured by the British in 1839. The population in 1901 yMnwrly 44,990. A Beauty Talk Progressive Farmer.Carry yourself jauntily. If your chest is expanded, your ? lungs inflated, your shoulders will be thrown back and your tiead will be erect. In spite of yourself you will look like a happy* prosperous person, people's faces will brighten at the sight of you and you will reflect their spirit's. I am talking to you, you mother of 50. "A woman is as old as she feels" is certainly true. Take this to heart. Woman who used to be old at 60 are young today because they have broadened their lives and their interests and are determined to feel young. I am talking to you, you sweet girl of 16. Did you ever read the mournful tale of the love-lorn. disaDDointed maiden who drooped and died "of a decline/* all for a man that was too no account to wipe her feet on? Well, she literally did that thin^. She was disappointed, her head drooped, so did her shoulders and the lungs were deprived of their space and became enfeebled, and in time the germs of consumption and pneumonia found a congenial abiding place. Round shoulders in children are sometimes the result of wrong postures in school. Take a cane or broom handle, place it under the arms behind your back, bringing the shoulders low. Do this as often as possible when sitting or reading or walking and you will be surprised how soon you get the habit of keeping your shoulders blades in place. Lode Miller Did Tote JLpat-^eek the -Journal asked for testimony from citizens of this section that Lode Miller used to tote the mail from Jefferson to Monroe and return on foot in a day. The witnesses hnvR not been, hard to find. . Arthur Knight says his father t juvu iuiu hi iaiuc s uuny inps to Monroe, saying that he would pass in the mornings about the time the children were going to ichool, and return about the time they were going home in the afternoon. Walter Gulledge says Lode carried the mail. And further that he cut four cords of wood for him in a day and was home before night. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gandv say they lived with Maj. Miller at the time Lode carried the mail and that there is no doubt about it. They knew Lode like a book and said he could without a doubt do more work than any human they ever saw. He could cut from the stump and split 250 rails in a day without half trying. They speak well of Lode, saying he was honest aud numoie. Mr. J. M. Clark says he knows it to be a fact that Lode carried the mail, and that he could cut more saw logs in a day than any man he ever saw. It seems that there were just two postoffices between Jefferson and Monroe, one just north of the Fox place and one at the Carelock place on Lanes Creek. If Beasley of the Monroe Journal wants still further proof of lode's wonderful feats, he can find scores of them around Jefferson where Lode lived. BIa Silk Sale?
