HISTORIC BATTLE GROUNDS.

hhu
-, in q theater of old wars and
Ashi,. scenes made familiar 10 all the
world through classic story that the
Turk :, nd the Greek are contending.
Pharsalos, to which Crown Prince
Constantine retrcated from Larissa, is
the ancient Pharsalia in name, but not
in site, lying some eight miles to the
southwest OF the battle ground where
Julius Caesar overcame Pompey in As
b. c. Pompey's troops on thai occasion
retreated to Larissa, reversing the
movement made by the Greek troops on
Friday.
Edhem Pasha invaded Greece by the
very pass through which AerXes led
his immense Persian army in $50 j. G.
Milouna pass is that pass by Petra,
Pythium and Olooson," referred 10 by
Grote and mentioned by Livy. The
Greeks had expected XerXes TO enter
the Thessauan plain by the way of the
vale of Tempe, between Olympus and
Ossa, and they occupied thar pass. But
when the Macedonian king privately
sent them word that XerXes was to
come by tie other pass, west of Olym-
pus, they gave up the plan OF meeting
him on their northern frontier. If they
had made a stand against him in Mi
1ouna pass they might have kept him
out of their COUNTRY land have saved
Athens, just us Constantine would have
averted all danger to Greece if he had
been able TO keep Edhem Pasha north
of the mountains.
Since he has let Larissa go so sheaply
it is not likely that in his weaker posi-
ton at Pharsalos he Will offer an effect
i've resistance to Edhem. But this time
there will be no Thermopylae. In the
first place, the road the victorious Turks
will take towards Athens, if the for
tunes of war allow them to take any,
does not run through the famous pass
where Leonidas and his 800 Spartans
held ont so valiantly against NerXcs.
From Zeitun to the west of the Maiic
gulf n government road runs directly
to Athens But what is more to the
point, there is no longer pass at Their
mopylae- AS Herodotus describes it,
there was barely room for @ wagon road
between Mount Oeta and the shore OF
the gulf, so that but three or four of
Leonidas' SpartaDe could fight abreast.
IN $500 years the aliuyiel deposit
brought down by the Spercheios has
filed in the gulf far from the ancient
shore, so that q broad marsh is row
seen where Leonidas kept the pass.
The hot springs which gaze tie place
the name of the -'hot gates" still flow,
however The changed shore line and
the construction of new rCads west of
4he mountain have destroys, this most |
famous of classic battle grounds. Here
it was that the Aeotoliuhs met Philip, |
that Antiochus contended with the Ro-
mans, and the Greeks with Brennus and
the Cauis. The treachery OF Epmaites, |
who showed Xerxes q mountain piss |
that enabled him to get in the rear Of
the Spartans, was initiated in some of |
the later conflicts, and with the same |
results.
Salonica, at the head of the gulf, |
which the Greeks threatened to de- |
stroy, is the Thcssalonica where st. Paul |
was so inhospitably treated that he
went away TO Kara Feria, and was
thence privately conveyed to Dion on
the gulf, where he took ship for Athens.

Strawberry is past fording
again. Can we not make a few
workings this summer and bridge
this stream? There is plenty of
material within three hundred
yards of the bridge site to make
it. Let us get our axes, cross
cut saws, broadaxes and go to
work. The RECORD is in full
scholar. How many will help in
this matter? AS many as will
hand US in your names and the
amount of work, lumber or
money, We mean business.
The RECORD subscribes five days
work. We want five hundred
days work subscribed and then
let all who are interested meet
at the court house, lay the work
out and then proceed at once in
a systematic way to build the
bridge. Let us hear from others.

A good road from this place to

from Little Rock last Saturday.
Mr.. Herrn says that the enemies
of the railroad commission forced
the adjournment. He expects

saved to the state, said he, if
the senate would have done what
was clearly demanded of it by the
people. Mr.. Herrn's friends are

Dave East of Kings Mill was

that the farmers in his section
are doing more toward improving
their farms than he has known
for years past. Wheat is looking

as much again sown in Davidson

fore. The farmers are going to
make the effort of their lives this
year to get out of debt and l
think they will stay out too, if
they can succeed.

Among the old people of our
town, whose birthday occurs in
March, we are pleased to note
Grandmas Clark and Williams.
Grandma Clark was sixty eight
years old on the Sd day of march.
She married Moses Clark, who
died in Evening Shade a few
years ago at the age of seventy
years, and emigrated to this
state in 1S4S. She is a we'll pre-
served old lady and bids fair to
enjoy many more years. She
lives with her son-in- Law Rev.
w. S. Southworth.
Grandma Williams was seventy
years old on the 18th Of this
month. She married Robert
Williams who died in Evening
Shade in 1894, at the age of
eighty-three years. They came
from Marshall county, Tennessee
to Arkansas in 1S47, and located
in Independence county. While
Grandma has reached her three
score and ten years, yet, she too
is a well preserved old lady. She
delights to think and talk about
the "good old tines when they
had "old time religion" Those
old times she remembers with de-
light but she still finds many
things to be thankful for. No
one in Evening Shade enjoys
fishing more than does Grandma
Williams, and she spends many
of the bright spring days sport
ing with the finny tribe, with a
success that makes our most
successful sportsmen blush. She
lives with her son-in law John
w. Shell.

LOS ANGELES SCHOOL BOARD
An Important Question Will Come
Up at Mondays Meeting.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1O.-The ex-
animation of the charge of extortlon
filed against School Director Walter l..
Webb was again taken up by the Board
of Education tonight. The session re-
suited in little or no testimony or I'M
portance being given.
At the close of the session tonight
the examination Of the charges against
Webb was postponed until next Tues
day right. This was done because on
Monday night the Board of Education
meets in regular session to look after
the business of the department.
The regular session of the board on
Monlay will bring up an important
question, namely, whether Webb and
Adams, against whom charges for mis-
demeanor in office have been filed. not
alone before the Board Of Education,
but the Superior Court as well, have a
right to sit and vote as members. So
far as Adams is concerned, there Will
be no trouble, as his resignation as a
member of the School Board is in the
Chairman's hands, and Will undoubt-
edly be accepted on Monday evening.
AS to Webb, he may insist upon oc-
cupying his place in the board, and
taking part in it's deliberations. This
he can do, unless the City Council sus-
pends him from Office on Monday,
pending the conclusion Of the present
investigation.
