Martin l.. Peck, whose saw mill near
Hancock was burned out recently, has

j. Taliafero Bridges of Hancock,
Md, is rather extensively engaged in
the lumber business. He is operating
nine steam mills and employs 200 men
and 80 hend of horses and mules. He
has recently bought the timber right
of 100 acres of the Amos Stigers prop
erty on the ridge north of the Tonolo-
way Baptist church. Twenty-seven
men are at work peeling the bark on
the job. This tract contains a nice
bunch Of oak and poplar, with fair
sprinkling of pine. Mr.. Bridges is a
hustler, and genial good fellow
withal.
Since James M. Lake has moved
down to the Baptist church at Tonolo-
way and taken up his residence in the
new parsonage he has made such a
change in the appearance of things
that the old church goers will hardly
recognize the place. The fences have
been repaired, the fence rows grubbed
out and the yard at the parsonage
neatly fenced, sodded and planted in
flowers. We are glad to note this.
Here is one of the Oldest burying
grounds and places of worship in the
county, and for the sake of its past
history and its present Importance,
we hope the place may always have
the best of care.

to tell you about the Soldiers
Home / visited while away. 1t
is located about two miles out
side the city limits of Marion,
Indiana 1t is National institu-
ton, and is said to be the finest
in the world. Ionly wish could
describe the beauty of the build
ings and grounds. Everything,
down to the kitchen floor, is
scrupulously neat and clean.
"The barracks are the build
ings in which the men sleep.
They are large and built of brick,
have nice verandahs and are
beautifully finished, and every
thing necessary for the comfort
of the soldiers.
"There are twelve of these bar
racks, and 1854 soldiers are en-
rolled. The dining hall and kitch-
en- are curiosities. 1880 men can
be seated at one time for meals.
You may imagine what it takes
to board that many men. When
the cook decides on mackerel for
breakfast, 500 pounds must be
fried and when cod fish are used
$50 will answer. 1t takes 1900
pounds of turkey if Thanksgiv-
ing dinner is to be served; and,
if onions are to accompany the
roast, 16 bushels must be cooked.
"In order that they do not
have to borrow flour from the
neighbors, they must provide
1000 pounds a day; and during
the mince pie season, if they do
not have 80 pies for a meal, some
one of the "vets" has to do with
out piece. Eighty walters are
required in the dining room to
serve the meals.
"In addition to eating and
sleeping, there have been provided
for their amusement and benefit
a large assembly hall, where the
men meet for religious services,
lectures, &C., nice opera house
where the finest attractions ap-
pear, a billiard hall, and a read
ing room with all the leading
journals, magazines, and daily
newspapers.
"Of course, there is a hospital
where the sick receive the very
best attention, and even a jail
forms one of the group of build
ings. Where everything is so
suggestive of comfort, it would
seem that no one who has any
gratitude in his heart, should be
bad while enjoying such hospi-
tality from even the United States
government.

der-not loud spoken word or
gesture of disorder manifests it.

 There is a curious sight to be seen in Hampstead church, Essex. The curate in charge, Rev. John Escreet, happens to be an expert carver in wood, and when his church was rebuilt his contribution to the new structure took the substantial form of the carving of the reading-desk, lectern and pulpit. There is probably no other church in the world of which it can be said that the pulpit is the actual handiwork of the minister who breaches from it. Mir. Escreet also executed the carving on the south porch of his church.
