J. c. Moore, the abstracter re.
ceived an order last Saturday for
an abstract of 5000 acres of land

School Officers Organized,

AT the meeting of school
officers of the county held in this
city August 80 a permanent or
ganization was effected by the
election of ]. J. Wilson, President
J. O. Taylor, Vice President, J.
A. Deitz, Secretary and treasurer.
The course of study recommends
ed by County Superintendent
Lewis was adopted for the use of
the schools Of the county. 1t
was decided to hold quarterly
meetings. An executive COM
mittee was elected as follows:
For the three year term, A. c.
Towle, Merna, Jules Haumont,
Elton, ]. E. Myers, Upton. For
the two year term, Joseph Brad
burn and F. M. Currie, Sargent,
for one year, M. S. Eddy, Merna;
Smith Waterbury, Berwyn, David
Christen, New Helena. The
move is good one. If the members
of the boards throughout the
county take sufficient interest to
attend the quarterly meetings
of the association much good will
no doubt result. There are
great many questions of mutual
interest that may be discussed
with profit at these meetings.
The REPUBLICAN hopes to see
the next meeting largely
attended.

all the articles which have been loaned
from this old manor should be returned

limited.
AS a part of the articles used in the
war for independence in this collection
by General Washington during his SER
vice in the Revolution. for you will re-
member that Major John Coates Jones
was ide-de-camp to General Small
wood during that period; and near these
epaulettes you will see two small books.
also from the manor-one printed
book, the other a blank book. in which
you will notice some rc-v clear writ
ing, although done with a quill pen;
the blank book Is the account book of
Robert Hanson Harrison, who was Sc
nior aide-de-camp and military secre-
tary to General Washington during the
Revolution.
The Colonial period antedated the use
OF matches. and at that time the most
common device for starting a fire was
by igniting some infammable material
like tow. by spark from a flint struck
by steel, by the use of a device called
n matchbox; in fact, the matchbox was
the Diamond Match Company Of the
Colonial days. One of these interesting
from the manor can be found
in the collection.

ierred to. and to mention all of the
articles which form an interesting part
of this collection would take more space
than can be given to an article OF this
kind
But it is from relics of this kind that
we are impressed with the history and
the customs of the past. 1t is by the aid
of these souvenirs that we are able TO
reproduce in our imagination the scenes
of the period of the Revolution, when
the manor was prosperous plantation.
when all of the l-xuries of that date
were within the reach of the lord of the
manor. when the old manor bell hung
in the northeast angle of the house.

have mentioned so often the different
articles which have been loaned to the
Daughters OF the Revolution. that it may
be we'll to name some of the most inter
esting ones, as showing what could be
found in those colonial days in many Of
the colonial homes Of this section.
These articles may be seen in the Ma
tional Museum in the collection belong
ing to the Daughters of the Revolution.
They are all properly labeled, and 1t is
probable that but few who have been
interested in these articles have ever
thought that Clean Drinking Manor is
but ten minutes walk from Chevy Chase
Lake. and that it is one of the Oldest
manor houses in this section.
Old Tin Lantern.
The visitor to the museum will find
the old tin lantern used at the manor
during the period of the Revolution, a
curious affair without pane of glass
tO tue light " Out lEOll
the lantern. and as a substitute for
glass the tin sides of the lantern were
perforated. and the perforations worked
into designs. The weird appearance of
one of these lanterns on a dark night
will not be easily forgotten by one who
has seen them. and the lanterns were
in use in some sections of the country
as late as 1850.
There is also a pair of decanter slides
the use OF which is not easily deter
mined from their name unless they were
used as stands TO rest the decanters on
down the sides of tie decanters and
staining the tablecloth when the decap-
ters were in service.
A richly embroidered waistcoat for
use on court occasions is another relic
of interest as an illustration OF the
richness of the dress worn by colonists
on state occasions, for on visits to Eng
land the colonists were often presented
at court. and court costumes were, of
course, necessary and this custom ex-
listed up to the time of the difficulty in
Boston Harbor. which resulted in the
striking off the calling list of many of
the former personages who had been
honored with an audience with the king.

~ days." said Nicholas Jones
the present occupant and
proprietor of Clean Drinking Manor.
II was one of those sweltering after
moons in June, but the breeze that swept
over the sheltered veranda OF the ole
manor house made one forget the intense
heat out in the sunlight. It was an ideal
day for listening to the stories of the
early days of the colonists, and Nicholas
Jones is an entertaining conversational
list; complete encyclopedia of Colonial
Information. with a memory that carries
dates and events without seeming effort,
and his stories of Colonial days are OF
rare interest.
The spot is an ideal one for day
dreams. The country is rolling enough to
escape the monotony of repetition, and
but for the fact that from the veranda
II is possible to see an unsightly railroad
trestle one might easily fancy that he
had stepped back into the past for many
years, and almost removed to the days of
the colonists.
Fossils. however, are not lacking in IN
terest. and this is especially true when
the fossils consist of ths handiwork OF
former generations: when they possess
the interest Of having been used by those
early settlers who had such an important
part in the settlement of the country
the changing of the wilderness into
peaceful meadows-and the laying of the
foundation of the greatest republic that
has ever existed.

Why Relics Are Cherished.

This is the reason that historical So
cieties treasure SO highly the old docu-
ments that link the past TO the present
why every home counts 1t good fortune
to own some simple bit OF furniture,
bric-a-brac, or souvenir belonging 10
some colonial ancestor. and patriotic
societies are proud to exist in the shad-
ow of the deeds OF the past, and curio
dealers are ever on the alert to pur-
chase some antique mahogany or por-
celain. and because the supply is insult
fcient for the demand they manufacture
antique furniture by the carload in imi-
tation OF the patterns OF century ago.
Clean Drinking Manor has had its
share OF curios and bric- -brac, solid
porcelains over which collector Of
ceramics would rub his hands with the
zest OF 6 miser Much has been loaned

a fossil, but IT is in fact highly enter
tsining fossil.
was shown the other day an ancient
deed conveying land in the Monocacy
Manor TO John Coates Jones. for It seems
that Monocacy Manor was conhscated on
account OF sympathy and assistance o.
the lord OF the manor with the British
during the Revolution, and the soldiers
OF the Continental army were permitted
TO purchase the conilscated acres with
the certificates which had been given
TO them for their army services. II was.
in fact, n repetition OF the old English
custom OF condscation. and John Coates
Jones, major in the Continental army,
purchased four fifty-acre sections of this
eonfscated manor. and this old deed,

written with a quill pen--for It was
long before the days Of steel pens or
fountain pens or of the typewriting mn
chine-is as plainly written as though
the writer was a graduate Of some school
of penmanship. and the ink has not
faded, but is now OF deep brown color,
and this was before the days of the ink
dered If the development of so many of
the latter-day inventions had not also
developed a spirit of carelessness, a
habit Of making articles for the Gay Of
sale. and not for the days of the genera
tions that are yet to come. / also noted
on the back of this deed this indorse-
ment. Refer to John Schley, clerk of
Frederick Co., Md" So, It seems that
the Schley family was not unknown in
Maryland in those early days.
When Artisans Took Pride.
Those were the days when artisans
were proud of their craft, and evidenced
their pride by the quality of their work
Skilled workmen were not in those days
merged into the identity of some great
manufacturing company, and a sideboard
chair, table or other piece of furniture if
to be the product Of reliable hands and
well worth the price. for 1t was sure to
outlast the generation OF the purchaser.
The parlor of Clean Drinking Manor
contains one of those old Chippendale
tables of solid mahogany, one of the
slighter patterns, for Chippendale made
some OF his tables in strong substantial
style and others In more delicate pat
terms. This table is one of the circular
patterns with the square tapering legs,
three of the legs placed on the front half
of the table and the fourth leg on the re-
naming half of the table, the rear half
hinged so that 1t could be raised and
tilted back against the wall in a corner,
forming pleasing change to the form of
the table and also economizing in the
floor space.
In this old parlor is also to be found a
quaint china closet built into the corner
of the room. This china closet is quite a
curious affair, and does not in any man
ner resemble the china closet of the |
present day. constructed largely of glass
with handy hooks on the bottoms of the |
shelves. upon which the fancy cups with
decorated handles can be hung. The 4
closet in the old manor house has a /
single door in the sash, in which are
some twenty or more tiny panes of glass.
The door is gothic shaped, and the door /
trim is composed of fiuted panels Of n
we'll recognized Colonial pattern. This
china closet contained at one time the
china OF the Jones family, and many
heirlooms OF the Coates family, and of
the Harrison family at Berkley, for
.hese families are connected with the
Jones family by marriage.
An Antique Mirror.
Hanging over the Colonial mantel in
he parlor is an antique mirror incased
n a gilt frame. The mirror is 4 hori-
.ontal mirror, and divided into three
panels, and is said to be duplicate of
me of the mirrors at Mt. Vernon,
from Wakefield Washington's
birthplace.
