Benediction.
Some of tho 'numbers won many
high compliments mih the address
by Rev. Lawrence was greatly en
joyed by everyone. Some of the
good points dwelt upon throughout
his talk were the importance of the
preservation of health, learning to
think, and tackling worthy, but un
popular issues. ;
As a result of the 'community his
tory contest given by the county,
one of our high school freshman
girls, Frances Wilson, won a prize
of threo dollars. From the report
of our paper, this was the only high
School pupil who entered the contest.
This contest necessitated considerable
work and it is thought by some that
the compensation for the work is
rather small. In this - instance it
is reported the cost of photographs
produced amounted to almost the
amount of the prize. Nevertheless,
it is a fine experience for young
people and we believe the material
value is well worth the time and
work of producing the' history.

Back about 1870, James N. Wellman
developed a secret tobacco process
which won widespread favor. But
"nobody else ever knew "Wellman's
"Method" until we acquired it and went
back to it in making Granger Rough Cut.
It's an"old-fashioned" method, yes, but
slow as it is, and costly, too we have found
no other process that brings tobacco to the
same full, rich "rounded-W" mellowness.
