The1 strike was for 8 hours per . day, not for any increase in wares. vHe told you to advise all the readers of the Mountaineer not to come to this state looking for work in the lumber business and at the very timet A he wrote there was the greatest demand for laborers, skilled sad unskilled that there ever had been in this state, and he will have to admit that wages were the highest they had ever been here and now all logging camps, mills are running, but short handed. Some are working 8 hours, but most of them are on a 10-hour basis. Now Mr. Teague if you will get out of tne city of Scnttle and go to the logging camps and see for yourself the conditions of the working man as tfcey are you WW think a . long time before you will write another letter for the wobliea.

' The weather prophets all have quit Their usual prophesying wit, ' ! For they have found they do not know When it will rain, or,shie, or snow. Bill Gaddy, eren, now Is muin; And I think that is 'biflg- some," For he could nearly always guess- The coming weather,- more or less. , , Of course Bill watches moon and stars, . And knows' Miss Venus and old Mars; ;And he's familiar with the signs, And rda the spda of sighing pines. BiU kaiows trie rabbits and the birds, And almost knows their very words; He knows their habits arid their ways, Their mating time and holidays. He knows the ground hog and his day, And ev'ry year. we've heard him say: "The winter's broke we'll how have spring," Or else an other song he'll sing. But now, we think Bill's quit for good And tries to keep a pile of wood. He talks of church and state and school But slights the weather, as a rule. Bill is a barber, you should know, And many thousands hear the flow Of words from Bill, who talks and shaves And tells of mountain peaks and caves. He knows quite ev'ry man in town; He knows who's up and who is down ; He knew them when they went to school; And all agree that Bill's no fool. He knows the politician's traits, So while Bill shaves and while he waits, Bill gives him fatherly advice, And gives it freely without price. ,Now Bill is posted like a book ' ' ' And spills his knowledge like a brook, So if there's something you would learn Climb in his chair when it's your turn. conveniences that yon would find in a Srat aliua hrvtal .in waar city.

IN MEMORIAM A new-made grave, bright lowers and sweet-scented; and we stood mutely by, and wondered why. For God in His love and .wisdom bad called to her eternal home, our bo-, loved friend and co-worker, Mrs. Oma Tate. God's ways are mysterious, but we have faith to believe that in calling the spirit of Mrs. Tata, Bd had a greater mission for her, which could best 'be done, when her hands were folded and her lips sealed. As -we laid upon her gravel the last tribute of our love and respect, we thought how like the flowers her life had beenwhite, beautiful, patiently enduring liffs hardships and storms, to at last bloom to full flower, a joy and blessing to all who knew her We, the members ' of WaynesviUe Auxiliary of the Woman's Mission ary Society of the Methodist Church, deploring our own loss, do extend to the bereaved family, our heart-felt sympathy, and point them to mm, who is too wise to err, and too good to hurt or grieve. Patiently waiting until that great day. When an angel shall roll the stone away The soul of our friend, unencumber ed and free. Shall sing of the joys, with Christ to be. Therefor be it resolved, First. That we bow in humble sub mission to Him who doeth all things welt For while we now look through the glass dimly, yet some glad day we shall know and understand. Second. That the life of Mrs. Tate called for her the well-deserved, "She hath done what she could." Well may we emulate her virtues, pa tience, . endurance, and Christian fortitude. Third, That a copy of these reso lutions be spread upon our minutes; a copy sent to the bereaved family and copies sent to our local paper and to the Western North Carolina Christian Advocate. MRS. J. H. WAY, MRS. E. B. McCLURE, MRS. E. T. WYCHE, Committee.
