This writer wishes to acknowledge v the honor of an invitation to ba present and make an address at Harpers at the Farmers' Rally last Tuesday, and it would have been a sincere pleasure to accept the invitation, but the press of affairs "which could not be laid aside, prevented. These meetings of farmers at which topics of interest are discussed, are helpful and indicate a growing desire for improvement, without which desire there can be no real progress. The Smith Shows which spent last week here had a good many 'people and some good features, but does not for a moment compare with the Johnie J Jones's Shows which visited us last summer. How 1nany of us have stopped long enough to note that the -earth quake in Italy last week was one of the very greatest calamities in the "ebtire history of the world? What a fuss did we make about the Charleston earthquake, in which less than a hundred lives were lost. Yet we scarcely hear mention made of this latest catastrophe which swept more than two hundred thousand human beiugs into eternity. So selfish are we that only those thiugs that affect us personally arrest our attention. In our minds even the puny flood of last summer will remain longer than this horror which has come to our brethren across the .?ea. / Mr G L Dickson and Miss Bertr Hinnant were married last j\irsday at the nome of Dr I B ' .Ilnnont t-hft hrir??.'a father.

The opening articles of the notable series, "S'ories of a Great Nation," to appear in the National Magazine for 1909, have awakened widespread interest. The January issue contains one of the most remarkable sketches of "The Supreme Court of the United States," written by ex-Justice Henry B Brown. "The Secrets of the 'Secret Service' " are toJd by Chief John Wilkie, who has ide a rem-?kable record in this dertment. xnis article happens to be e of most time^ ~ interest, in view the controvert between the Present and Congress over a paragraph i> his message. The "Making of Jncle Satn's Money" is a subject that ir'. ?8ts every man, womau and chii^ country, and the story is told i.. ^ graphic, interesting way, -11 a?1.: I -.L - .L!.f ?fiL. wim liiusirauuus,^ tue ciuei ui uie i Bureau of Engraving and Printing "The National Health" is treated in an article by Surgeon-Gen era I Walter Wyman, and is thoroughly interesting and up-to-date. These articles are in every way practical, comprehensive and cohesive stories of our great nation, and will not only whet the appetite of all students of civics and economics in school and college, but will be of interest to each individual of the eighty millions of people who are stockholders iu this corporation known as "The United States of'America." Vivid and picturesque is the second of Peter MacQueen's illustrated articles on "Roosevelt's African Hunting Grounds." Many of the photographs were taken by Mr MacQueen, who has just returned from Africa, and his sketches are highly entertaining. The "Conservation of a Great Nation's Resources" is the subject of a notable article by Mr T B Walker, who is one of the largest individual timber land owners in the /frriL _ n r a i country. " 1 ne rtoiiiance 01 an v/ysster" is another of the interesting series 011 the aristocratic American crustacean. Stirring, timely stories reflecting the typical American life and times, with bits of bright verse and articles as full as au egg of pertinent and timelv information, make one of the most auspicious magazines for the beginning of the new year. Editor Joe Chappie's inimitable chats on "Affairs at Washington" continue as a feature of this year's prospectus. He reveals graphically the perennial^side of events at the National Capital. His descriptions of the tariff hearings are particularly interesting. Did you ever see the launching of a battleship?
