READS LESSON TO MOTHERS Decision Made by Supreme Court Jus tice in Brooklyn Something of a Warning. Supreme Court Justice Marean in Brooklyn awarded a decree of di- : voree to Mary S. Sidway from Har . Sidway. son of Mrs. Franklin Sidway of Buffalo, X. Y., $350 a alimony and the custody of thi: two sons. The defendant did r.nr iontest the action, but when the ;;us:ion of alimony was brought up ' said he was in the real estate hir.ess and was earning $200 a r.onth. j Sid way's mother, according to his ' vr: is worth $5,000,000. Midway :oid the court that he didn't think :i mother was worth more than 5i.O0O.O00 and that he was one of : ;- ve children. In fixing the alimony j a: 5:0 a month Justice Marean 1 :v:r.nrked: -If a woman brings up her son! ;:: idleness with the idea that he is ! -o inherit something, what the moth er is worth is clearly admissible in determining what alimony the son shall pay SIMPLY DON'T MAKE IT PUBLIC Most Men Travel Under Their Wives' Management, but the Fact Is Kept Concealed.

Si ' ir.ce writing my last letter to At a ui u ,t , the wind blew up co d after the r girls left home and they seemed to suffer very much trom the cold in their low-neck, short-sleeved dresses, and I guess they did. It may be very uncomfortable to go naked in cold weather, but Josiah Allen said he had to keep up with the fashion, and I reckon that is what the girls are trying to do now. There was preaching at Rock Grove last Sunday evening by Bro. Gordon. He preached us a very able sermon which was given the best of attention, This church seems to be prospering, as ihey have recently made quite an addi tion to the size of it, and one of the brethren told me they had paid for same, and they expect to paint it next summer. But poor old Allensville church is still standing here unrepaired and un painted. Why don't you get busy Mrs. A. H. G.? You have the funds, why don't you say it shall be repaired and painted. We are not making as good headway as we should in this respect and un less you get busy you are going to find more of your members go ! ing to other churches as the day has come when the more the at traction the more the crowd. Our public schools are now in full blast. X'e have three schools near here: Mr. Eddie Gentry teacnes one, vnss upneua warren n---i-i--W eHitv!one anu 1U1- u:- u iJiiaiiL ii ai ; his same old stand. Air. u tsnant is about 58 years old and has been ; teaching for soin 0 or 40 years i He lost his wife several yers .ago ; bit has been able to hire a cook I until she left on account of poor i health recently, but now he is without one and says he like to tret married again. would He is a most handsome man of his ae, with good surrounding and no doubt this would be a good place for some irl to get in out of the cold, but he says none that are over 17 need apply. All of his children are grown so there are no little ones in the way. Mr. Tom Boone Davis has been ! trying all the year to beat J. E. Montague on farming, as '.Joe is considered one the best in the County. And it is said when Tom found out he was the father of a son he could hardly behave him self, went at once and joined the Progressive party, thought he was making a run on Joe, but lo! and behold Joe has another boy at his home a bigger, fatter and plump er boy than Tom's. So Tom is now wondering what move to make next. Anyway, the labor problem is partially solved for both of them, and I hope they may both live long and prosper. The County road force say they are going to leave Allensville in the next few days. Mr. Gates seems to be a .perfect gentleman ana i3 nov doubt doingr the best he can with what he has ot do with, but our present system of road building is entirely wrong and we can never have good roads until we get Mr. J. A. Long's bo-:d issue, so hurry up Mr. Long when you get the office to do something fo" us on the road question. R. Yes Paint will be high next year, so muph work has been put-off and more rill be. Men don't know that it cost more money to wait than to paint; it cost about 10 per cent to wait, and not over 5 for the extra price. Whatts 5? About $2.50 on the average job (3000 square feet); 10 gallons Devoe, 1 5 of average paint, yes 20 of seine. Suppose there's plenty of oil next year, won't paint go-down? Yes, a little; there can't be plen ty of oil; the demand settles that Half the work of last year and this is waiting; so stupid we are. DEVOE. Long, Bradsher & Co. sell it. Resolutions of Respect.
