Brown died at his tiome in Ashpole at 3 a. m. last Sunday in the 70th year of his age. Oae of the trusted guides, sturdy characters aud notable citi zens of the country is gone. Few among tin were better known and had a larger circle of friends There was an equability in bis temeperament and fixednesB in bis convictions that commanded ud varying respect. The blunt can dor and transparent honesty that marked his life elicited the ad mi ration of those who knew him host. His unwavering loyally to his opinions and bis sincere affec tions and tender sympathies bound a large circle to him as with hooks cf steel. He eDgagd in the active practioe of his profession about fory-six years. "Everybody in the glen and all tfce paths in the moor" were known to him. His practice oovered a large territory and included a host of families. His insight into the inside of fam ily life was exceptionally great, yet at no time did he abuse the e:red privilege. His professional integrity was above question. For years be served usefully as ruling older of lona church and latterly s the senior elder and central figure of the new church, B tbcar. in AshpoK He loved his church, and its iuterest was his theme in the delirium of hia last sicKness aud io the shadow of death. He ea:d, as be by degrees passed on to the ond, be preferred to live, but was ready to die. The last of his requests to the loved ones of bis household was that they should neet him in heaven. He left a widow who was to him a self-denying and devoted wife now m solitude, and two children, Dr. J. P. Brown and Mr. Will Brown, to mourn the loss of a loving father, who has left tbem the legaoy of a splendid name. The fur-eral services were con ducted Monday by Rev. P. R. Law assisted by Rev. J. M.

When 10 years old, young Car lisle was attending a typical coun try school of the old South under the management of a typical teacher of the time, a stern and scholarly old gentleman. One day little James found considerable difficulty in some of his work and his teacter, becoming impatient, took the boy's elate and writing upon it the words, "I am a fool," gave it t" the little fellow, saying, "Hero, Jamep, sign your name to that." The learned pedagogue proceeded witn the otner lessons, out on coming bacK to nis young cnarge after a time noticed that the name bad not been written. Becoming angry, he demanaed in thundering toues, "James Carlisle, why did you not sgn your name to mat sir?" And little James Carlisle slirped from his place on the h gb rough old bench, and looking bis teacher tquarely in the eve, replied. "Beoauee it is a lie, sir!" The Secret 01 5ucceai.

Oiled Pupllc Roads In California The State Department of High wiiys of California reports that Ventura county, that State, has 100 mi leu of oiled roads The work was begun in 1901. Various kinds of soils have been treated sandy, adobe and sedimentary. On hard roads the oil is first applied, and then a coating of said put on to absord and hold the surplus oil. The strip oiled is 8 to 12 feet wide, about 200 banels a mile being used on the fust application. At first heated oil was used, but the practice has been discontinued, a? it was found unnecessary. The oil is obtained from wells in Ven tura county at a cost of 65 cents a barrel at the well. It contains 55 per cent, asphalt. On the whole, good results have been obtained, as the roads so far have not been affected by storm waters. Sum mer heat has been detrimental in a few instances, and rows of shade trees are regarded as a benefit Ffty miles more of oiled roads ere constructed in Venture coun ty during 1904.

Douglass, a restau rant keeper of Worcester, Mass., walked 12 miles in his sleep Fri day night and awoke in the coun try at 2 :30 o'clock with his face in a watering trongh. He was fulry dressed and experienced no hardship from his peculiar expe rience other than a shock. Douglass told the police he went to bed Friday night as usual and UNBUINESSLIKE FARMING. The layman can hardly realize the lack of system that prevails on the average farm. Drainage is lit tle thought of on the lowlands, crops are rotated only as chance determines, and probably not one farmer in a hundred can tell what enterprise on his farm and under his conditions is the most profit able. In no other business is it likely that men oan be found with $10,000, $20,000 or $50,000 invest ments who never pretend to keep books of the business. Farmers' books are two often kept in this manner, gain, money in the bank ; loss, money borrowed. The writer once argued this question of keeping books with a well to-do American farmer, who finally con cluded his argument by saying, "Farming ain't all keeping books, V. 1 1 1 m 11 1 uy u luug snot. irutn jies in the argument, but keeping books is not all there is to manufactur ing furniture or transporting freight, and yet it must be a valu able accessory or it would have been discarded vears ago. There are still thousands of far mers in the middle West who do not follow the markets.who rarely, if ever, stop to consider the re lation between prices of feeds and prices of beef and pork Hogs are fed becauje "there is money in hogs." and many an operation on the farm is done according to some preconceived notion. The writer knows a German farmer in western Minnesota who has a beautiful, olean farm, and is evi dently prosperous. While watch- ing him feed bis hogs one day, this conversation took place: "How old ae those pigs?" ''Sixteen months." "Why don't you sell them?" "Well. I don't like to sell a hog until t e weighs up good and heavy." Further conversa tion revealed the facts that oorn was worth forty-two cents per bushel and pork four dollars per hundred weight, live weight. ' Almanac Received.

Reflections of a Bachelor. A man never, never can enjoy a laugh the way a woman can a cry. No matter how pretty a girl is, it makes her a sight prettier to kiss her. A man gets awfully mixed up trying to kiss a girl who has two dimples. There is very robust exercise in trying to run down a slander about yourself If a man ever knew as much as he thinks people think he knows, there would be some real wisdom in this world.
