Illuminate the business part of the
town fairly well , but the resident , portions

One proposition before the board Is
to place about two do/en single burn

this seems the most feasible plan for
satisfactorily lighting up the side
walks that are bordered by ahado
trees , It Is likely to bo adopted.
Owing to the immature condition of

The soft corn makes an excellent ra

abundance of well matured grain will
bo forthcoming to finish the cattle In
good shape for market.
Owing to the destructive hall storm
which obliterated the growing corn in
a largo scope of country in tills local
ity last July , a largo acreage of win

for Its growth and reports agree in
representing that , with an ordinary

Commission Man Says There-

IT IS A GOOD PAYING INDUSTRY.
There Is Such an Excellent Market In
Norfolk That Produce From the En

"Thoro should be moro poultry
farms In this vicinity , " said a Norfolk
commission man this morning. "Wllh
a very superior market hero , and ono
which will take all of the poultry that
could possibly bo raised , there ought
to bo a large number of farms de
voted exclusively to the chicken and
poultry raising business.
Thnro Is such a demand for poul
try In Norfolk commission houses
poultry to bo shipped out that no
matter how much stock a farmer
could bring In , wo would lie able to
buy the whole lot at any tlmo and to
pay him good priced , too. The poul-
trv farm has eomo to stay In places
where It has been started at all. It
Is a good paying Investment right
from the beginning and people who
are doing nothing else , are unking all
kinds of money at It.
"The beauty about It Is that there
IH very llttlo capital required nnd af
ter you hnvo had even the slightest
start , the increase brings remarkably
good Interest on the money. It takes
but very little cash to keep the stock
fed. There Is no question about the

CAPTIVATING SIMPLICITY.

Early In the sixties of the last cen
tury , u . ' Hugh .McCttlliiL'h bud just
been nppolntcd comptroller of the cur
rency to orgnnl/.e the new department
under tlu > provisions of the rational
bank art , there walked Into bis otllce ,
unannounced , one day a stranger
dronsed in "store clot lies" and wearing
long bnir.
"My mime Is llurr < mgh .Iohn Hur
roughi. " said the visitor. "I should like
to have a position in your department. "
"What do you know about banking ? "
asked the comptroller , thinking that
perhaps in the unique stranger might
be discovered some genius of an nc
tuary or accountant.
"I'libapiilly nothing , " replied the up
pllcnnl.
"Who sent you here ? "
"No one. "
, "Well. who's your congressman ? To
whom can you refer me ? "
"I know no congressman. "
"And you expected to get a govern
men ) position without qualification for
the position and without Indorsement
or hacking of any character ? "
"I think I could learn ollleo woik
here , and ( be salary would be a great
help to me in my literary career. "
"Oh , you are a writer , are you ?
What's your line ? Poetry , perhaps ? "
"I try to write poetry , " confessed the
visitor.
"Got any of It with you ? " asked the
comptroller , now considerably amused.
"If so , let's see It. "
The poet-naturalist produced a song
redolent of early spring. It treated of
the ehewlnk , the oven bird nnd the
Carolina wren , with n dainty reference
to forest violets and hepatlca.
"This Is great , " commented the comp
troller ; "It's right out of the woods. "
"Which Is more than can be said of
the author , " observed Mr. Burroughs ,
thinking of the world of finance which
be was seeking to invade.
The comptroller laughed. "And Is
this all you have in the way of cre
dentials ? "
"I have some more poems at home , "
was the bland and sincere reply.
In much merriment the comptroller
summoned an assistant. "Here's the
most astonishing instance of Ingenu
ousness I hnvo ever encountered in
public life. " said he. "That man over
there applies for a government position
and the only backers that he can name
arc the muses. Yet this department Is
not political , nnd somehow I'm Inclined
to put the fellow to work. I am cap
tivated by the man's honest sim
plicity. "
So John Burroughs was set to work
ns a treasury clerk. No appointment
ever before bad been secured on such
n basis and no one since has had the
temerity In asking for a government
Job to cite song birds and wild ( lowers
as his only references.
Some of Mr. Burroughs' old col
leagues are still In the treasury service.
In telling this story of bis appointment
they dwell with emphasis upon the ex
cellent work he did In the department ,
earning rapid promotions and finally
securing the responsible position of re
ceiver for a failed national bank In
New York , the affairs of which lie set
tled satisfactorily both to the creditors
nnd the government. Saturday EvenIng -

Joseph Chamberlain Addresses

'Liverpool Meeting Adopts Resolu
tions Endorsing Government's Fis.
cal Policy and Eulogizing Services
of Former Colonial Secretary.
Liverpool , Oct. 28. Joseph Cham
berlain addressed another monster
meeting In the Hippodrome here last
night The meeting was nuld under
the auspices of the Worklngmen's
Conservative association , and the-
6,000 persons present gave the former
colonial secretary a tremendous le-
teptlon. it was organl/ed as an offset
to the recent ac'.lon of representatives
of labor unions in various places In de
nouncing Mr. Chamberlain's tariff anil
preferential proposals.
Mr Chamberlain devoted the first
portion of hi3 speech to the "dump
ing" of the inaififnclurors of the
United. States and Germany In this
country , which he said must result in
depression after the present prosper
ity. With regard to the cry of "dearer
food , ' he pledged himself that his
proposals would not add anything to
the cost of living : on the contrary ,
they would decrease the cost of llvlnp
to the poorest families In the country.
The speaker devoted the greater
part of his speech to a powerful argu
ment addressed to the working class
es of the United Kingdom , to whom he
appealed against their leaders. Em
phasizing , the statement that it was
impossible to reconcile free trade
with trades unionism , Mr. Chamber
lain pointed out the Inconsistency of
supporting a policy which admitted
the product of the cheapest kind of
labor without taxation.
The meeting adopted a resolution
eulogizing Mr. Chamberlain's servi
ces , endorsing the government's fiscal
policy and declaring the advisability
of binding the empire more closely
together.
