Feed^ Fertitizer,Groceries
Saving money for the farmers on
their feed, fertilizer, and grocery ex-
penses, W. S. Satterwhite, well known
Alto merchant, has accumulated a
!ist of several hundred regular pa-
trons.
Purchasing feed from Texas Farm
Products Company, Nacogdoches, )..
carload lots, Satterwhite is able to
pass a considerable saving on to h*&
^customers. At this season, he is fea-
tunng mule and cow feed at bargain
' prices.
Four famous brands of fertilizer
are carried in his stock during the
pianting seasons: International, Swift,
Lone Star, and Blue Star brands.
These have been analyzed to suit East
Texas soils and growing conditions,
upon recommendation from outstand-
ing chemists at Coliege Station.
Many farmers in the trade area buy
from Satterwhite season after season,
because they have found that his
fertilizers are satisfactory.
Satterwhite has operated his es-
tablishment for the past three years.

Whitman's Tribute to Bible
Walt Whitman's tribute to the Bi-
ble is as follows: How many ages
and generations have brooded and
wept and agonized over this book!
What untenable joys and ecstacies,
what support to martyrs at the
stake, from it! To what myriads
has it been the shore and rock of
safety—the refuge from driving
tempest and wreck! Translated in
ail languages, how it has united this
diverse world! Of its thousands
there is not a verse, not a word,
but is thick-studded with human
emotion.

Dickens' Visits to United States
Dickens came to the United States
in 1842. The result of this journey
is to be found in "American Notes," !
pubiished in 1342. His second tour of
the United States began ]ate in No-
vember, 1867. and lasted until the
middle of April, 1868. During that
time he took in as a result of his
readings a sum approximating
$10J,000. During his second tour
he tried to corrcct his impressions
cf America and publicly acknowt- !
edged his change of feelings at a j
fareweli dinner (which cost $40 a '
plate).
Cochin China Rich Men
Number Wives by Dozen
In Cochin China marriage rites
are comparativeiy simpie, except
in the case of the Catholic Anna- I
mites, who have abandoned the old
rituals for the marriage performed
by priests.
Cochin China has first and second
degree marriages, and mandarins
may have up to 100 wives if they
are rich enough. In fact, writes
A!ex Smai), Paris correspondent in
the Chicago Tribune, polygamy is
honored and unless he has many
wives a mandarin may be consid-
ered to lack prestige—or money.
There can be oniy one first-rantt
wife at a time, but second rankers
may take first rank if the first wife
dies or is divorced, and each moves
up one rank to the top places.
In some quarters of Cochin China
under judiciary regime, marriage
must be performed by ofUcers of the
civil state; and Christians there
have oniy one wife.
Among wealthy mandarins, only
first-rank wives live with their hus-
bands. the second rankers beinf
housed separated and can be visit-
ed by such husbands only during
the daytime.
E. P. Paimer was catted to Jasper
Monday on account of the itiness of
his brother, Btake. He returned Tues-
day, and stated-that white Btake was
some better, his condition was siitt of
a serious nature.

Standard Gauge R. R. Traet
The standard gauge of railroad
track in the United States, that is.
the distance between the inside of
the heads of the raits, is 4 feet SS4
inches. This measurement is ap-
parentty the same as the prevailing
gauge of road wagon wheets when
railroads came into existence. On#
raitroad. the Southern, is laid with
a 4 foot 9 inch gauge, but this
ama!) variation is unimportant. It
is atso the generat custom to wide*
the gauge % inch or more on sharp
curves. The standard of 4 feet. B'A
inches was not always general tn
this country. In the early days thera
were various gauges and their
change to standard was a graduaj
development, brought about prin-
cipaliy by the joining of smatt ind*
pendent lines into targer systems.
The original use of the 4 foot 8',4
Inch gauge in America was influ-
enced by its use in England. It is
the standard gauge, atso, for most
of Europe except Russia and Spain.
