Premonition Led
to Boy's Deathbed
-
Elderly Woman Did Not Even Know
"That Her Grandson Had
Been Taken 111.
A Case of Weird Telepathy.
, Nashville, 111. An intuition
which she describes as mental
telepatby,took Mrs.Louise Thies.
sixty-four years old, from her
home in St. Louis to the bedside
of her dying grandson, Henry
Hollman, at Cordes Station, a
' hamlet eight miles south of Nash
ville, 111. To reach his bedside
just before he died, Mrs. Theis,
having missed a train at Coulter
ville, walked the remaining
twelve miles of her journey along
the railroad tracks.
"I was at the house of my
daughter, Mrs. Gus Tubbsing,
No. 4313 North Fourteenth street
in St. Louis, when this inspirati
on or telepathic feeling first
struck me," she said to a Post
Dispatch correspondent. "I was
seated in one of the rooms by
myself, with nothing specially
occupying my attention, when
my mind wandered off into a re
miniscent mood. All of a sudden
it transferred itself to thoughts
of my son, Henry, and family.
It was then that the remarkable
part came.
"We had received no word of
my grandson's illness, in fact
his own parents had no idea that
of Nashville, who was called to
treat him shortly before he died,
stated that he was one of the
most healthy looking child of sev
eral of the family. He was af
flicted with diabetes, but it devel
oped so fast that he was only
seriously ill a short time before
his death.
"It suddenly occurred to me
that I was needed at the Hollman
home. Every attempt to shake
this thought proved fruitless. The
idea clung to me. Finally it be
came so strong I decided that I
must go there. So I advised the
members of my daughters f amily
and on the next morning started
on my journey.
"I boarded an Illinois Central
train at Union Station, which
was to take me to Coulterville,
111., where I was to change cars
and board the Illinois Southern
train for Cordes Station. Upon
reaching Coulterville I found the
train I desired had left and there
would be no other train until late
at night. My desire to reacn the
home of my son became still
stronger. I decided to make the
rest of the way afoot.
"I was weighed down with two
valises, weighing about fifty
pounds, and these added to the
burden of my journey. I had
. been to Cordes Station several
times before, and had a general
knowledge of where it was, but
really had no conception of what
twelve miles of travel over a
gravel railroad bed meant.

WHY EDITORS MAKE MISTAKES.
The editor of a local paper is
often unjustly censured for his
mistakes. The wonder of it is
that he does not make more of
them. On the average paper he
must deal with all kinds of sub
jects, give names, dates, etc.
One hour he may be engaged in
reporting a religious meeting and
the next drawing the picture of
a fight. He must condense and
fill his items several columns,
whether events are transpiring
to throw up material for his use
or not. Count the local items in
a paper and imagine how many
steps they have required, how
much mental anxiety worry and
work they have cost and some
idea of the editor's work can be
gathered. The smallest may
have cost him a long walk and
much effort to reach the facts.
There is no end to his work.
When one paper goes to press he
turns his attention to the next
one. He makes the rounds in
search of news and may not get
a line. From some he must get
news without their knowing it,
drawing them into conversation
and obtaining what he
wants in sections. He may labor
for hours in chasing down a ru
mor only to find that here is noth
ing in it. His local columns stare
him in the face and demand to be
filled not with skim milk but with
cream of the news events and
matters of interest. His bounds
are limited yet he must find each
day and all through the week,
month and year something of in
terest to the -public. No more
TpJrT
per:
ed. With such a constant strain,
producing weariness of the body
and mind and an almost endless
variety of subjects to be touched
upon, is it surprising that he
should occasionally make a mis
take ? Other people do' why
shouldn't an editor ? Aurora.
Better Farming Methods.
"I wish I could live to enjoy
the development that modern
scientific methods of farming will
bring to this country within the
next decade, but I am too old to
enjoy much of it," said an aged
farmer of Anson county the oth
er day, "Why," he continued
there is a young man in my neigh
borhood who will make, this year
as much corn on one acre of
ground as his father made on
tw horse farm, and he is doing
it on sandy soil -the kind that
was formerly considered .as not
being adapted to corn." It is
said that it is hard to teach an
old dog new tricks. It is also
hard to teach an old farmer the
new way of farming. This say
ing is verified in the fact that it
is the younger farmers who are
taking the lead out of the old
beaten paths into the new way.
there are exceptions, however,
nuw aim men. i saw an aged
farmer the other day who accept
ed the teachings of modern agri
culture and had reduced his corn
acerage to three acres from
wtrch he gets a yield of 75 bush
els per acre, or 225-bushels on
the three acres. He used to have
to cultivate li acres to get 225
bushels.

The Mothers of Men.
By Newman Weeks in Philadelphia
Press.
Back of all the great men of
the world there have been noble
and self-sacrificing mothers. The
great Daniel Webster's mother
was seldom ever heard outside
the family home. Her chief de
sire was to be a home-maker.
She was a tall, dark woman, slow
of movement, sparing in speech.
Just think of that flirting fairy,
or that ball-room belle. Well she
was a decided contrast, she went
around her house in a dark wool
en dress, with no ornaments or
superfluities. She stirred her
hasty-pudding or bean porridge
with all the solemn majesty of
Charlotte Cushman as "Meg Mer
rilies," and then with a mighty
wooden spoon, she ladled it forth,
and it was "Dan, take this!"and
"Zeke, you can have that!"
When they had eaten enough
the large pot was put away, and
the knitting taken out, while the
boys played at bringing the ants
and woodchucks into court and
putting them on trial for their
lives. I think that, Jike Mary in
the Scriptures, she must have
pondered much in her heart.
Who can imagine a woman
like that waltzing, or playing the
piano, or putting on a fichu or
pull-back dress? Yet she was the
mother of America's greatest ora
tor. Nothing in life more crowns a
woman with honor than the de
votion of a son to a mother. I
never knew a bby to turn cfcit bad-
y who began Dy tailing m love
with his mother. Such a boy will
ever love a wife in the sere leaf
of Autumn.
Improve the Highways.
Those counties which have no
macadam roads and which are
not joining in the general good
roads movement will soon find
themselves left far behind in the
march of progress their neighbors
are making. The good roads idea
has come in this part of the coun
try to stay. It is no sudden spurt
of fancy, no fad of the day. The
people who use the highways
have learned the difference in re
sults between good and bad ones
and they have determined to have
the former and are willing to tax
themselves to secure them.
Every county in the State which
has not a system of macadam
roads should at once form a good
roads association to push the
work of improving the highways.
The people in those counties in
which it is not done will, in time
to come," regret their indifference
in this matter. Charlotte Obser

The railroads of this country
are each year calling for more
crossties, and they are rapidly
shrinking in number and increas

of ties purchased in 1907 was

BEST
FRIEND.
In a public meeting in Alabama
recently a member of the Farm:
er's Union, spoke right out and
told his audience who he consid
ered the farmers best friend, and
gave some wholesome advice.
Said he:
"As a rule the farmer has no
firmer friend than the press. The
home paper is distinctly the far-
mer's own paper, supported di
rectly and indirectly by farmers,
who compose the backbone of the
subscription list of the printer
and largely for what the enter
prising merchant advertises.
Now, brother let us not forget
our friends. Let us see that our
subscription is paid a year in ad
vance. We can do it.
"The man or paper that fights
my battles shall have my sup
port. Another thing, the mer
chants advertising are the ones
that make it possible for us to get
a good local paper. ,The man or
local firm that is too penurious to
advertise and help support the
local press has no right to the
farmer's patronage.
"I promise hereafter to go to
the live advertisers and the man
who does his share in supporting
the local press, thus contributing
to my support, rather than buy
of a man who proposes to take all
and give nothing back. If far
mers as a class would support
their friends, the oter would fel
low soon go out of business."

Resolutions of Respect .
Wrhereas,God, in his inscruta
ble Providence has removed from
our midst to the Heavenl v temple,
our brother, Rev. W. C. Hammer,
in the seventy third year of his
age, and for many years a faith
ful and consistent member of
Balfour Lodge No. 188. A. F. &
A.M. '
Therefore, be it resolved that
in the demise of Bro. Hammer,
the State, this Brotherhood, the
Church and community, loses a
valued and highly respected citi
zen. The life of deceased brother
was replete with honest endeavor
to leave his impress for good
in the world. In this he was err
inently successful. May his life
prove an inspiration to the mem
bers of our order, and awaken
a greater zeal for right living,
and a closer walk with the Grand
Master of the Temple Eternal, in
the reigion of unending bliss.
Resolved further: that a copy
of this record, be published in
"Our Church Record" "The Ash
boro Courier," "The Bulletin,"
and the "Orphans Friend," and
that a copy of each be filed
among the records of this Lodge.

Are Your Kidneys Sick?
If you want to get well and
stay well you must make the
Kidneys well. The Kidneys are
the most important organs in the
body: they do the most work and
as a consequence get out of order
quickest.
You cannot run a great piece
of machinery without attention
of some kind. Neither can you
expect to have good health if
you fail to look after your Kid
ley Machinery.
The blood passes through the
Kidneys thousands of time? a
day, as often as through the
hearr, and this is going on every
. inute of our lives.
I f the Kidneys are well they
1 ttr just so much blood, but if
chey are sick or weak from any
cause they leave the poison in
the blood, .and this poison poisons
the entire system.
When you consider their great
work and the ease with which
t ley become deranged, can you
wonder at ill-health, and sick-
ness?
