E. H. Gaines, Mr. Khuney. Miss Annie Johnson, • • Mr. J. Q Little, the nominee for mayor, is no novice in that position, he having served the town once fore. We do not mean to cast any reflection upon any other man who ever held the position, but the fact remains that Mr. Little gave more of his time to the affairs of the city during his administration than any other man who has ever held the po sition, and he accomplished more than any other mayor. Because of his ex perience and his ambition it is pre dicted by his frinds that he will repeat his former success. John Q. Little is not a perfect man. He realizes that himself. He has been regarded as a reckless man, but advancing years have toned him considerably. Of all the things we have ever heard charged against him we have never yet heard a man say he was dis honest. He was reared at a period when youths had not the advantages they have today; and what he has ac quired in the shape of knowledge and wealth has been acquired by self denial and hard work.

Old brown Windsor soap, so common ly used for the toilet, is not the real thing at all, but merely an imitation. The only soap of that name is not made, hut comes from the bulbs of the Porto Rico soap plant, and it was used for washing purposes long before man thought of manufacturing soap from fat aud other substances. Its smell is exactly the same as London made old brown Windsor, and there is no doubt whatever that the latter is an exact im itation of the natural soap. At one time the world was lighted at night with “farthing dips,” long sticks of compressed fat with a thin string the seeds of the tallow tree, which grows in Algeria, Sumatra aud China, were used for lighting purposes. The seeds, which are of a good size, need but a wick to burn with a clear, white flame.
