The lines are down in places,

places where the posts are standing.
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

contradiction. 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

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

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.

in 1839. The population in 1901
yMnwrly 44,990.

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.

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.
