Where does that word come from +?
L have been taught, that before paper
came into general use, Chronicles con-
corning ancient times, tell us our teu-
tonic forefathers wrote accounts, letters
and calendars on wood; they ,oflcourse,
wanted the best for that purpose. The
Doe or beech was preferred. 1t was
close grained and abundant over in
Northern Europe, in this way the word
book is reported to have come about.
This may, or may not be true. Iftrue,
the fOrefathers were long way back
toward Adam. The Scripture is proof
enough Of this. There may be in our
army Of young folks, those who do not
know the word "Bibleu means ''The
Book" Yes, there are books and
books; books good bad and Indifferent:
but after all, the Word Of God is 1.-THE
Book" You may find others you
would say we're good enough to live
by but, doubt, if when the time come,
you found them comforting and restful
to die by.

Prosperous Kent County.

County Treasurer Emerson has just
rendered his financial statement to the
Levy Court for the fiscal year, which
also closes the first year of the cOunty's
management by Republicans. The re-
port is fiattering, indeed.
In spite of the Improvements and re.
pairs to roads and old bridges and the
building of new bridges the expendi-
lures for the year just past are about
$1,000 less than the year preceding.
These improvements, we understand,
have all been paid for and there is yet
a balance in the treasury Of more than
$1,000. And yet it was such improve
ments that were going to sink the
county and increase the taxes.
Another fact to be noted is that the
amount Of receipts for the past year
shows a decrease of nearly $1,000
as compared with the preceding one.
This is due to the cutting off of the
income tax.
In face Of these facts and the con-
dition the Republicans found the
county's affair, they are indeed to be
commended for their management.
If such a showing marks the close of
the first years business under such
adverse circumstances, what may we
expect after the Republicans have been
in control for a few years longer2
