The Seaboard second nine are
exulting over defeating the Jack
son second nine in a game of
ball on the former's diamond the
past Saturday. The score stood
15 for Seaboard against 10 for
Jackson.
After May first. until Sept. first
all stores and business houses
here will close promptly at 8
o'clock P. M. except Saturday.
Some will doubtless think this
rule a hardship on the laboring
men who work all day and come
to town at night to do their shop
ping, but there are two tides to
every question. The merchant
who opens his place of business
at 6 o'clock and closes at 8 has
been on duty 14 long hours. He
needs the rest and rightfully pe
titioned for it. We are glad such
an arrangement has been made
and hope all classes will be bene
fitted thereby.
Mesdames Peter Spencer and
Will Moffit, Emporia, Va. , were
welcome guests the past week or'

and other relatives in the vicinity
The shocking news of the death
of Rev.. Paul Bowers was receiv
ed here'last Thursday afternoon!
It is hard yet to realize that we
will . meet his genial smile no
more on earth. He was sick only
a few days, was taken to Rex
Hospital. Raleigh, for an opera
tion for appendicitis and died in
the hope of a glorious resurrec
tion, . following the operation,
which had been too long delayed.
Death had no fears for him, he
knew in whom he had believed
and was willing to die if his Mas
ter had need of him. He talked
to his wife and relatives of his
death as cheerfully as if going
away on a visit and said several
times "it is all right" He was
an exceedingly pious youth and
grew in this Christian grace as
the years came sad went. Why
one so young, so useful and so
good should be snatched jfrom
the arms of a devoted wift and
three bright little. girlsyisVe do
not know but God- knows.-' His
sister, Mrs. Green F. Gay, bur
dear friend and neighbor, has
told us that he felt his call to
preach the gospel when only 12
years of age. Since that time he
has faithfully worked by precept
and example tr save thoe witti
whom he came in contact. He
was especially interested in the
salvation 'of the young people
ard when he saw how lightly
they received his warnings, his
great, loving heart would melt
with love for them and his ayes
overflow with tears. His life
work has ended, but the sermons
he preached, the prayers he made
and the consecrated life be lived
will live on. Be leaves to mourn
their loss a heart broken wife,
three little girls, an aged father,
five devoted sisters . and a broth
er , To these distressed friends
we offer sincerest sympathy. God
will heal your . wounded hearts
and you will meet Paul in that
beautiful home shout which he
so much loved to preach, '
Friends of Mr. J. E. Moyler.
Franklin, Va , will sympathize
with him in the death of his old

Mr. Moyler has travelled this
county as a shoe .drummer, for
many years and has many warm
friends to whom (his announce

GREAT COAl RESERVES.
Twelve Billion Tons Estimated mount
In Four Fields In Colorado.
When the total production of
coal in the United States, great
as it is, is compared with the
known tonnage in the ground it
sinks into relative insignificance.
Thus, four recently described
coal fields in Colorado are esti
mated by the United States Geo
logical Survey to contain more
than 12 billion short tons of coal,
or three-fourths of the total
amount of coal that has been
mined and lost through mining
processes in the United States
since the beginning of the indus
try. These are known as the
coal fields of the Grand Mesa and
the West Elk Mountains, Color
ado, and are discussed by Willis
T. Lee in Bulletin 510, just is
sued by the United States Geo
logical Survey. These fields con
stitute pat ti of the Uinta coal re
gion, in Rocky Mountain pro
vince, and lie partly in nest-cen
tral Colorado and partly in eas
tern Utah. The part of the
Uinta region described in the
bulletin is divided into four more
or less distinct hrllf, called
Grand Mesa, Floret; ta. Mount
Carbon, and Crested Butte.
The investigations describe J in
the bulletin extended over a per
iod of three years and were made
for the purpose of ascertaining
the geologic relations of the coal
b earing rocks to other formations,
of classifying the land by legal
subdivisions as coal land and
noacoal land, and of determining:
th" value of the cal land by- as-
.ertaiiiin the thickness, oi the-
. i a
ceil Liims, ttie character ana qual
ity of the coal, its accessibility
wii.h reference to topographic ;
featujes, and its location with
reference to lines of transpcrta
t;oa. Because of the uncertainty in
many places as to the number cf
coal beds and the still greater
uncertainty as to their variations
in thickness, no close estimate
can be made of the quantity or;
coal in the fields. However, a
computation based on moderate
estimates of thickness gives 12.-
178,214,000 short tons as the
amount of recoverable coal in the .
Grand Mesa and West Elk Moun
tain fields.
A copy of Bulletin 510 can be
had on application to the Direc
tor of the Geological Survey at
Washington, D.C.
Significant Line?.
The other Sunday evening,
when church service was over, a
young minister started on his
journey home, accompanied by
two young ladies of the choir,
when they began a conversation
about hymns.
"What is your favorite hymn?"
asked the curate, turning to one
of his fair companions.
' 'Draw me nearer,'" she re
plied, not thinking of the doubl ,
meaning. -
At that moment her compan '
ion wno was waiKing on tne
other side of the curate, to make
matters worse, said, innocently : ..
'That is only the chorus; the v;;
commencement of the verse is, : ;
V 'I am thirie';:: 0
