pulling grass out of a potato patch at
Round Pond, in this county, a girl
named Mile. Marable was bitten by high

fangs in her body, and in her fright she ran
several hundred yards with the reptile
clinging to her. She managed to get home
after making the snake loosen its hold, and
is now in a very critical condition.

Still in Error.

Up to last Saturday there was a
notion dominating the brain-pan of
the Homecoming star Office that every
noun, no matter what, ending with
the letter 5, is plural.
From the term, ''pounds,' it spread
to "water works." with IL bumptious
predisposition to wander in other re-
gions, and where it would have ended,
had the JOURNAL not interviewed, only
the reprobate angels Of grammar can
imagine.
1t has not occurred to the Star or its
accommodating tutors that many
plurals are modified, not only 10y local
custom, but by the statements which
contain them. The artist who painted
under his picture-''this is a lion,'
left nothing to the knowledge or
intuition of the spectator, and the
writer who attempts to include every
trifing word to make his thought plain
will soon have few readers.
The eXpression-''2l pounds of sugar
is worth dollar is a sentence in
point, the two phrases of which implying
singularity in part and counterpart.
1t expresses one equivalent balanced
against another-a unit of 81 pounds
counterpoised by dollar.
The JOURNAL, it is true, might have
written, as the Star suggests-"a 81
pound package of sugar is worth a
dollar" but it did not reflect at the
moment that the Star would not have
sense enough to regard the custom of
selling sugar in packages as nder-
stood. 1t did not learn until afterward
that the Star buys its sugar ''in the
barrel" and thatits grammatical con
struction. leaves it lin the barrel, y
where it is as much plural as sin l or
p packages"
Readers, the Starts wrong, eternally
wrong; the JOURNAL is tight, ever
lastingly right.

Monday evening Joshua Mckenzie,

cousin John F. Mckenzie, farmer,

In the first outset Joshua struck Frank

seems, and DR.. a. b Price, who came

Good Country Roads.

We commend to short-sighted per-

Hon. Chauncey b. Ripley, in an ad
dress which he delivered before the
State Board Of Agriculture. answers
this question. Here is a paragraph
from his address:
The cost of the Union county roads is lust
about 50 for each individual in the county,
including men, women and children 1t is a
fair statement, and | believe it quite true,
that the people who pay for these roads
would not have them taken up for million

Slip OF the YOnUuc.

Even Homer will nod. Two rheto-
rcians like General Stiles and Colonel
lngersoll slip in language like common
people. The first told the Auditorium
audience that the latter would speak
with his customary eloquence' on
Shakespeare. OF course no individual
can have a ''custom," which is the
usage Of Il community. General Stiles
meant "habituai" when he said Gus
tomary. Colonel Ingersoll mixed his
metaphors. "When the keystone was
put in, it burst into blossom" Stones
when they burst do not blossom nor
do scul ptors chisel, as the poetic orator
intmated. ut is not who cut the stone
or who owned the quarry, but who
chiseled the marble" The truth is
that 1t is rarely known who chisels the
marble. The scul ptor models his idea
IN clay or wax; the transference to
marble is done by obscure artisans
whose names are often unknown to
the artists who employ them. THE
clay is the birth, the plaster is the
death, the marble is the resurrection. -

as purely mechanical as bronzing.

They Should Answer.

A correspondent proffers a couple
questions elsewhere printed, and asks
the JOURNAL privately what it thinks
about the matter?
The questions are properly asked.
AS the custodians of the peoples
interests the Mayor and Council can
not with propriety find fault with the
asking or decline to furnish the in
formation desired.
The fact is, as Mayor and Council
men each and all should answer any
and all questions concerning the towns
business that may be asked by any
and every citizen. That is what they
are there for. 1t is no part of their
business to be "grand, gloomy and
peculiar" or 'move in mysterious
way, their wonders to perform"
They should give the go-by to Ma
poleonic inspirations and leave the
other policy to Providence.

Cannot Snuirm Ont of This.

The JOURNAL is steadily but surely
bringing the star around to u confess
ion of theabsurdity of its grammatical
fad. -.
Prof. Dewper has abandoned it on
one point preparatory to complete
disqualification and, without knowing
it, the Star itself has in three words
turned tail on all it has been contend
ing for:
No matter in what condition-whether in
a mass, or separated, pounds is plural.
The JOURNAL denies it.
"Out of thine own mouth will we
condemn thee ~
"Pounds" is not plural; pounds
ARE plural.

4 pIucky NIayor,

The Mayor of New Orleans appears
to be a man of nerve.
A species of Italian called "Pro-
venzano" have been intimidating GER
tain 'longshoremen, and the Mayor
gives them fair warning. He says:
The 'longshoremen have nothing to do with
this business.
They are not trying to cause trouble, and
have determined that any man in tins city
may work or quit W ork whenever he chooses,
and that no man shall be prevented from OBJ
tanning an honest livelihood if he will.
| do not mean to let you interfere with him
or anyone else.
You have sought to foment trouble here
time and again.
These are earnest, Just warnings.
If the civil authorities everywhere
would resort to and enforce them
whenever intimidation is employed,
there would be fewer delegations on
the road with walking commissions.

III controversy WIN NV tiii
marian of the Homecoming Star oyer
the proper construction of the SEN
tence, sol pounds of sugar is worth
dollar the JOURNAL has held that
taking the custom of putting up a
given number of pounds of sugar in
parcels of "a dollars worth into con-
sideration, the use of the singular form
of the verb is fully justified-certainly
in the eyes of all who are familiar with
the custom.
The only readers, therefore, who
have any right to regard the sentence
faulty are those living where no such
custom prevails.
The most the JOURNAL can concede,
therefore, to its readers in this region
is this--the singular or plural com
plexion of the verb in the sentence
quoted is immaterial. This we show
ed by a quotation from Bullion sever
al weeks ago.
We will now introduce sentence
from Macaulay's History of England
which has occasioned great contro-
versy among grammarians
At present the trade is thought to be in
a depressed state if less than a million tons
are produced in year.
The learned grammarians differed
with Lord Macaulay, contending that
is should have been used instead of
are. Macaulay adhered to the plural
form of the verb, and it so appears in
his authorized works to-day.
So that if the JOURNAL is wrong it is
in the company of some distinguished
scholar or of the greatest essayist of
modern times.
But suppose the JOURNAL is wrong,
how much more out of the way is it
than was Junius in the appended
passage p
The terms on which the sale of a patent
were communicated to the public.
Or the following from Gibbons ''De-
cline and Fall 9"--
The richness of her arms and apparel we,e
conspicuous.
Or this in Disraeli's "Curiosities of
Literature ?"-
Everyone of this grotesque family "ere the
creatures of national genius.
Or the sentence below from Hallam's
"Literature of Europe ?''-
Concerning some Of them little more than
the names are to be learned from literary
history.
Or this bad break from Blair's
"Lectures ?'-
Neither of them are remarkable for
precision.
All these men knew better, but it is
the thought that dominates in the
thinker-not everlasting regard for
the exactions of rhetoric.
The MoughtfM writer is not always
the best housekeeper of good English.
The JOURNAL knows this from a con-
tinuous experience of nearly twenty
years of humble, unpretentious work.
Not an issue but has contained
an error, or errors, penned in haste,
overlooked in proof but seen too
plainly when too late!
The thoughtful writer is a modified
example of the CDR. Jekyll and Mr..
HYDE type. He is not the same man
after as before publication. The heat
of intellectual effort gone, his work in
print re-appears as it is-not IN the
glamour with which the mental af
fiatus had erewhile encircled and
crowned it.
Specifically, therefore, the JOURNAL
denies having erred in the case where
of the Star has found fault.
Generally, it sorrowfully confesses
sins of omission and commission in
the republic of syntax which no man
can number, yet on which no telltale
CLEAN of Homecoming starlight has
ever fallen.

\ Word to the Council.

The general assessment goes on
apace.
The assessors are doing their level
best to grade values so as egHalHy. the
taxation, may be reached. AS we
understand it, they are not endeavor
ing to initiate values, but to make them
as nearly equal, all differences Of
location and condition being consider
ed as far as it is possible for human
judgment to go.
AS a matter of actual fact, there
fore, there ought to be no 'appeal
session."
But as matter Of compliance with
law, there will be one, of course.
The JOURNAL takes the liberty of
suggesting to the Mayor and Council
the propriety of reaucjng no assessment
without exhaustive comparison Of
same with neighboring properties.
For if one be valued too high, all
are.
And if one be reduced, its owner
will be allowed rebate which belongs
no more to him than to his neighbors.
That the assessors may have erred
in some cases is to be expected. No
human Judgment is infallible.
But that they have erred in any
injurious extent to any property-holdes
is not to be believed.
To have done so, each and all of
the three would have to be unitedly,
concurently and wilfully unfair.
Make no reductj0ms Of assessments.

GOOD Material Preferable to Profuse
Trimming.
When selecting dress for real serv-
ice, it is best to avoid any special
novelty. Some novelties are pretty,
but in spite of this they are novelties,
and will not retain lasting favor Tall
women should avoid stripes. for they
only increase the apparent height of the
wearer, while short women should
taboo plaids, because such weaves ac-
centuate their shortness. and seem to
increase their width. Unless one can
afford to replace old with new,
whenever one tires of n gown. large
plaids are not dcsira BILE. for one soon
tires of them. Indeed, it hardly seems
as though the woman of good taste
choose them at all. If plaids are used,
it is generally in combination with
plain goods of a harmonizing color A
dress of good material, neatly and
plainly made. is in far better taste than
one of poorer material and ample trim
ming. The fit of bodice, the hang of
a skirt, give an air to the plainest cos
tune. 1t is far better to spend what
little extra cash you have in having a
dress fitted by a good modesto than to
use it for tawdry trimmings, or even
good ones, that can never make up for
or cover the defects of a poorly-fitted
and hung gown.-The Housekeeper
