INCEPTION OF PRINTING.
Now Others Got Fame and Wealth
From Gutenbers's Invention.

Now Others Got Fame ana "ea't"
From eutenbers's Invention.
In Gutenberg's time the city OF
Prague was famous for its manutac-
lures and mechanical inventions. In
the books of the university several
Gutenberg are entered, and among
them is John, who may reasonably
be supposed 10 be our inventor. Aft
er the failure of his first printing
press he seems to have returned to
Prague for the purpose of improv-
ing himself in mechanical invention.
But the history Of his first printing
press is interesting. He hired Q
room in Strassburg and proceeded
to carry out his idea of multiplying
block books by means Of movable
wooden type, These books were
very numerous and in great demand,
and Gutenberg's intention was to
manufacture them in considerable
quantity for sale at the approaching
septennial fair at Aix-la-Chapelle.
In order to conceal his purpose
when his employment was inquired
into he took advantage Of a double
meaning and said that he was man
ufacturing mirrors or looking glass
es for sale at the fair, some of the
block books being known as specula,
such as the "Speculum Salyationis."
Gutenberg borrowed money OF a
family named Dritzehn, and one OF
them entered into partnership with
him.
At first Gutenberg taught the art
Of cutting and polishing gems, but
Dritzehn and friend of his, one
Helmann, noticed that he worked in
secret at some other art, but before
Gutenberg would reveal it he re-
duired fresh terms, which were
granted. The affairs OF the partner
ship did not proceed well. Dritzehr
died, and his relations IN l45s
brought an action against Guten'
berg for the recovery Of the money
advanced by them.
Gutenberg attemptedeto form his
type by casting, but the casts were
not sharp enough for printing. Ht
oonaulted q worker in metals (Faust
of Mayence), who at once saw thu
value of the invention and advanced
money to Gutenberg on the strength
of it. Faust's apprentice, Pete
Schoeffer, oyercame the difficulty
and his master made him his part
ner and son-in-law, and the TIVE
men, ignoring Gutenberg, appropri
ated his invention and thus obtained
fame and wealth.-Notes and Que
ries.

Some little boys were running a
race, and all felt sure that Tommy,
the boy in the lead, would win, as ne
was the fastest runner. Those look

reach. the goal. His friends gather

not sufficient sum to accomplish the
desired results. Our body, after dis
cussing the matter of tax, determined
that this body, nor the Ordinary, could
as the law now stands, grant the re-
quest. We arrived at this conclusion
with regret. To remedy the trouble
that confronts us, we suggest that our
senator and representatives take
charge of this matter, and, by consti-
tutional amendment or general egisla-
ton, give the county authorities, upon
the recommendation of a grand jury,
the right to raise fund sufficient to
beautify, preserve, and forever keep
green the last resting place of the he
roic Confederate dead.
In closing this our present service,
we beg to return our thanks to His
Honor, Judge George F. Gober, for his
able charge given US, and for other OBJ
legations we feel under to him and also
our thanks to B. +. Simpson, Solicitor
General, for the aid given US in our

WHAT YOU EAT
FOR PURE FOOD
Swindlers, to Make Mon
ey, Ruin Health Adult
terating Food.

The meat packers of Chicago are not
the only ones who are imposing upon
the public by impure and unfit meat,
but in other lines of food, startling
disclosures have been made.
The House of Representatives, the
other day, to gain light for pure food
legislation. inspected samples of MAG
tically all foods that are offered i tie
markets. Groceries, canned gbods,
cAtsup, pickles, iellies. and every
known brand of breakfast food, were
there. So, too, were gayly colored
samples of silk, some OF them a yard
square, which had been dyed with
analine extracted from beautiful red
maraschino cherries. There was black
pepper, not to be sneezed at, made by
the ton, of corn meal and lampblack.
There we're opium "cures" that make
opium fiends, and "olive" oil from the
swell Union League Club of Philadel-
phia, which was ordinary machinery
oil. 1t was shown that though only
100000 pounds of Mocha and Java
coffee were imported last year, yet $780,
100000 pounds Of such coffee had been
sold at price twice as high as could
have been obtained had it been sold by
its true name of Brazilian bean, chico
ry, bread and sawdust. There was q
bottle of beautiful amber-colored hon.
ey, and in it, as evidence of good faith,
was bee. This honey was not made
by a bee and never came from bee
hive. 1t was made entirely of glucose,
and the bee was inserted as "guaran-
tee" of its purity.

BRIEF HISTORY OF MEYERHARDT LODGE.
Meyerhardt Lodge, No. 314, was or
gained April S, 1890.
The first regular communication was
held in a small hall over the building
where r Edison now resides, June
H. 1890.
The lodge moved to the Hill hall. re-
naming there for a short time, and
then rented a large room in Railroad
Hotel, remaining there until, in con-
junction with the trustees of Kennesaw
Home school, built a hall over the
school building and remained there
until February 13, 1904, when the first
communication was held in the hall
we now own and occupy, being the
third story of the building OF G Lewis.
Corner stone was laid September 18th,
1903.
The lodge was organized with fifteen
members, and has enrolled sixty-five.
The lodge is in growing and prosper
GUS condition, and bids fair to continue
to do good work for the grand andlnoble
order of Masonry. Since the institution
of the lodge, the following named

SUFFER THE
CHILDREN
To Come Unto Me, For Of
Such
IS THE KINGDOM
Of Heaven" Was Christ's
Admonition.
IS THE KINGDOM
state JournaL)

The habit of being short and
grutf to children is pernIcious.
There are men and women who
slight them in manner and tone, ms
if they were of little consequence,
and do not think for u moment
that such conduct toward them is
really hurtful.
II all young people were treated
with consideration and courtesy,
it would change the face Of the
world. There would be more hap.
piness, more sincerity, more con
sideration for others. A gentle
man was passing down the street
after dark, when from little
crowd of girls and boys on the
steps of a public edifce came the
question: "What time is it,
please?" The gentleman stopped,
took out his watch, and answered
the question in the most leisurely
manner, and touching the infor-
nation with some pleasant remark.
A hearty "thank you, SIR" came
from the happy throng,
1t was simply little lesson in
politeness and generous behavior,
which has it's effect upon the chill
dren more than people imagine.
They catch their manners from
their elders, and what impatience,
rudeness, curt replies, no time-to-
Observation-Disclosures treatment is
rendered them, goes into their
character like stain.
True, intelligent gentility does
better service with Il child than
with a grown person. He sees
how sweet and beautiful the world
is made by courtesy and he natu-
rally falls in with the habit, by
responding in the spirit with which
he is treated. 1t is one of the best
educations for a child to be treat
ed CONSIDERABLY and kindly, and
whoever refrains from this con-
duct belittles childhood and helps
defeat its happiest promise. The
ill that a snappy, snrly man or
woman takes into the child world
touches humanity with many
sorrow long afterward.

MUST HAVE
GOOD ROADS,
R. F. D. Inspector Makes
Plain Statement.

c. l.. Patterson, Inspector OF
Rural Routes, paid an official visit
! to Logan early in the month, to in.
! vestigate the business done on the
seven r. F. ID. routes out of that
town and the condition of the
roads. His remarks to reporter
on those subjects apply everywhere
and are given in full;
"a am here to see il the routes
out of Logan will Justify being re-
tanned or not. 1t is not under
stood by all, but it is a fact never
theless that the Post-Offlce De-
partment requires that the number
of pieces of mail on each route
shall average 5000 per month.
cannot say at the present whether
the routes out of Logan will come
up to that or not If they do not,
the routes will have TO be discon-
tinued. These facts should be
brought to the attention of all of
the patrons of the rural routes,
not only of Logan but also of all
of the routes everywhere. If the
farmers know of this fact, they
may take pains TO see that the pat
ronage of the routes is increased
as far as they are able, for have
found that the farmers are very
appreciatiye of this service. A
daily paper taken by every farmer
would very materially swell the
number of pieces of mail handled
and thus help to make the bust
ness come up TO the required
standard, In fact, the original
intention of the ost-Oiflce De-
partment in establishing the Rural
was that every farmer
might have daily paper.
"rhen, too, there is another
