Years ago some unknown poet of the, nrarks wrote a few homelv ver ses on a certain hound which every one seemed to nave a aesire to sick around, and now that Miseouri has supplied a likely candidate for . the Presidetcy, this plain ballad from the zino laden hills of Missouri has leaped into national fame, A Wash, ington newspaper has ofiered a priss tor additional verses, x-ven mum bers of Oongress are competing. - The ffrst ver8s of the original ong runs as. follows: - Every time I come to town The boys start kickin' my dawg aroun'; Makes no difference if he is a houn', They gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun. Taking this for their cue, the poets got busy, as follows: . Ohaap'i oa the hunt with his old i Mr. Josephus Boggs died at his home in 1 Piso, Texta last Tues day. Mr. Boggs was resident of Montgomery county was matried to Miss Ada Wade, daughter Of Mr. U. 0. Wade Troy about ten years ago.

His death has been sxpected for years but the climate prolonged his life, tie tapes a wile and little daughter, Dorothy 'with whom the Courier with a number of friends in Ashebsro will sympathize. The Storm of J703 - Few people ever heard of the "Great storm" of 1703 for the rea son that it occurred loag before the day of , the Weather Bureau and meteorological charts. It is repute J to be the most disastrous atmospherio storm that ever visited England. In this storm twenty-fire parrs lost over 1,000 trees apiece, over 400 windmills were destroyed, more tnan 800 dwelling houses laid in ruins, seven steeples blown down and about 125 people were killed on land, while hmdreds were insured. On the sea many more lives were lost.. It is said that overi8,00 sea. men perished. Rear-Admiral Beau, mont, whose fUg-ship "Mary" waa stranded, lost his life with his 273 men. The destruction of the fi-stEddy- stone lighthouse was another inter esting feature of the storm. It's architect, Winstanlev, was one of the eight occupants at the time. . Several famous pictures were painted of the ruins. - ' Uhanes Fifzueh Talroan, libra rian of the U. S. Weather Bureau, save that this storm compared with other cyclones, appears to have been the miat violent of which history holds any rcord. - - 1 Ramseur Items ' Chas. B.

' A Hold ap Gaat Kxyoiva Before you pay charges on an ex. press package again, it might be a good idea to mane sure the charges had not been paid at the other end. The extent to which the express companies have been robbing the people by collecting charges at both enas OI a Bmpniom, as reveamu ue fore the Interstate Commerce com mission, is amazing. In the case of one company alone it was shown that it make 3,000 overcharges in one day and collected in one year $67,000 as overcharges The effiser of the company ad mitted that the system employed to indentify prepaid packages was taul ry, but had no particular apology to mak. V v "Demand for transportation charges on prepaid shipments must cease," declared .uommieeioner irtne, who was plainly provoked. . "l'he oomplaint of this practice by express companies is universal." In addition to the cases of over. charging which come to the atten tion of the interstate uommeroe Oommicsion, it is believed that thousands of shipments are paid for at both ends of which the commis sion never hears, owing to the fact ! that the victims do net know they art being flccd.

Slight : colds are of little consequence as long as they are slight, and too much medicine is not good, but the cold should be carefully watched as pneumonia, pleurisy and bronchitis are often the results when it is allowed to run on. The best way to prevent eolds is to keep the body perfectly clean and il e pores open. A cold bath' on rising keeps the pores open and helps the circulation greatly. After having "caught" a sold the next thing is to get rid of it. Do not have the room you occupy too warm for that only aggravates the situation. The correct temperature being about 70. Great care should be taken not to be in a draught, not even a warm one. The beat of "home remedies" for the chilliness that generally accom pany colds, or to break a cold, is to hold the feet in hot mustard water. This draws the blood from the htad and helps the circulation. -Vinegar may be used for the foot bath lasteaa of mustard if preferred. It is best to go right to bed .after the xoot bath. -Hot watter bottles to the feet are good. Let the diet be very light ana oe oarefnl to keep . the bowels open. After the first few days, plenty ox fresh air aud sunshine are better than medicine. . . The vounceet nr inter in the busi ness knows that two measurers are not to ba set in the . same sties at the same t me; but some men persist in attempting tha dual life.

That Colonel Roosevelt's position on the initiative, referendum and recall is so extreme tnas it is impos sible for bias to expect the support of the old line Republicans, and therefore even n ne succeeas in get tincr thn nominations thoHsands of Republicans would refuee to sup port him both for the. reason, and also because they think he has aoted la bad xaitn towara rresiaent xart.

"unwritten law, that a turn would not be made president three times, whether cou. seeutively or otbtrwise, aud tbit to breaa, down this time ronored cua. torn would be a rapid advance to ward imperialism. The Colonel's idea that the orjict in not aaowing three consecutive terms w3 to pre vent a preeident from manipulating his own succession vouia also ap ply to prevent a man who bud been President for two terms from en deavoring in every way possible to thwart and break down tue aumin iatratiou of his successor, and to be little all of his efforts, with the one object in view of enhancing his own chances for a third term. Bad raltb Toward Taft. 'Tc is verv evident to all thinking people that from the very beginnng ox., President xans aaminisiratiou nn to the oresent time, the Colonel's object has been to keep everything in a turtnoil, and though he pos; tively said that under no circum stances would he ever again be a candidate for the pretidency, even those who trusted him most, have been reluctantly forced to see xrom thn heffinnincr of his successor's ad ministration that he has been manip ulating affur for his own renomina tibn, and a great many believe that whil vet President he brought about the- nomination of Mr. Taft because he knew that Mr. laft had a judicial and not a political mind, nd that he could Derhaps supplant him at the end of his term. The Colonel is as long sighted in some respects an he is short sighted in others. "The conclusion of the whole mat ter is that the Republicans are di vided, and will continue to be BO.wd the Democrats to win have only to be true to their party pianorm ana nledffes. and it almost seems inured- ible that anv Democrat with part? success assured, could for a moment think of casting his ballot for Jol.

The Southern Pine Beetle killed an enormous amount of pine throughout the South last summer and measures for its control are be ing carried on by a large number of timber owners in the South. It will, in all probability, kill much more pine this Bummer in lo calities where measures are not be. ing taken for its control. There are no beetles in the dead trees from which the needles have fallen. . ' The beetles are now spending the winter in the bark of the dying trees from which the needks have not yet fallen. . This bark must be destroyed by: Burning as cord wood, or sawing up tbe trees as lumber and burning the slabs with the bark on, er strip ping the bark from tbe main trunks of 'the trees and burning it. lops and lapwood may be disre garded. The work should be torn pleted before May 1st, nnlees other wise recommended: Doit now and save the pine. Birthday Dinner for Mrs Mary IL. White.
