Good grades of wool are now worth do cents a pound on the market while lambs have been sold this year as hijrh is 'J 1 cents a pound live weight. Kermit Rushing, 9-year-old boy of C. Rushing, of Lanes Greek, has demonstrated that pet sheep are more profitable that pet do|?s. One of L. K. Marsh's ewes vrave birth to twin I lambs and disowned one of them, i Xcrmit took the disowned lamb at 'one-day old: raised it as a net with ? bottle. This year it >?ave birth to twin lambs which Kermit sold for $ I It.1>0, and he sold the wool from the mother of these lambs for $ '!. 1 .r>, making a total income this year from his pet lamb of $17.05, and he still owns the pet. This nine-year-old boy's experience ouj/ht to be suflicient to cause other boys to dispose of pet dogs, if hey have them and get pet lambs. In jcidently it might be remarked here i that if Congress will get up enough nerve to place a $5 war tax on dogs j it will tend to help the sheep indus- j f ry wonderfully. But if Congressmen ire as big political cowards as the .leathers of our State legislatures aave been there will be no war tax daeed on dogs. Marshville Home. LEFT IT TO THE WOMEN Mrs. Bacon: "I don't think the j streets are nearly as clean as they ; used to be." Mr. Bacon: "Of course not. Just1 see what short skirts you women are wearing now!" 'v ? RANSOM M. MYERS An Appreciation R. M. Myers moved to Chesterfield from the western part of this County u number of years ago and in his adopted town he soon won recognition as a man of sterling worth. He has served in an acceptable manner as Town Warden, and as Town Clerk Idled its duties better, perhaps, than any other who ever held this difficult position. "Bunk" was a man who despised sham and hypocracy and he was ever a clear spokesman for Law and Order and a good government controlled by an intelligent citizenship. No one ever was in doubt as to how he stood on any public or political question for he was not afraid to champion that which was right. He had a heart that was full of love for his fellow-man and always he was busy doing something that I would bring gladness to others, ren{dering some service to those in need. | For his family his brave heart overi flowed with love and his highest ambition was to to educate his children, llis untimely passing will leave a void not only for his loved ones but for all who knew him. i After many weary months of suffering he crossed the river and into the undiscovered country his soul winged its way. Without a murmur j or thought of protest, with cheerful ; spirit, with undaunted courage, throughout the hopelessness of the hospital, he accepted the inevitable I with a calmness that only a great heart could have and died with his ! face toward God, a gentleman | unafraid. ? * MASS MEETING We, the undersigned County Commissioners of Chesterfield County, knowing the financial condition of our County and the condition of our roads, and facilities for working I same, feel it our duty to call a mass meeting of the citizens of Chesterfield I County to meet with our representative at Chesterfield Court House, Aug. loth, to discuss ways and means to meet the situation.

"Certain disturbances are inevitable in a change of government so radical as that of Russia," said Mr. Root, "and cable dispatches deal argcly with these disturbances. Hence the public has gained an impression that there is little going on in Russia except demonstrations. If reports on American affairs disseminated in Russia concerned our own rac^j riots, the I. W. W. and the like?Russia would have about the same picture of us that we now have of them, j "I have faith in the Russian minis| try and in the Russian future as an : important element in the aims of the 'allies.
