The Descendant Of Two Presidents

The Descendant Of Two Presidents.
With mind wrecked by years of hard
ship, George Adams Robinson, a descend
ant of two presidents Of the United
States, q Harvard graduate Of the class
of 1851, q veteran of the civil war, a
thirty-second degree Mason, stood before
the City Court at Bridgeport, Conn.,,
Tuesday morning pleading for his liberty.
Two weeks ago Robinson was taken in
charge by the authorities for asking
aims on the streets and was placed in
the aims house.
Robinson, who is seventy years old, is
the son of a Dr.. Robinson, of Boston.
His mother was a daughter OF John
Quincy Adams, sixth president OF the
United States, and a granddaughter OF
John Adams, the second president. Rob-
inson is mining engineer, and has spent
much of his life in the west. The year
he was graduated from Harvard he en-
listed in the 9th regiment, Massachusetts
Volunteers, and saw service under both
Sherman and Sheridan.-New York Tri-

Legislature Should Economic.

We have not seen the annual report of
the comptroller general, but are Informed
by the Columbia Record that he "calls at
tention to the disposition of the general
assembly to spend too much money"
For years past every legislature has act
ed as if bounden duty required the dis
bursement of every cent collected, so that
none should rust or remain idle. This
suggestion of economy by State official
is the first of the kind we remember see
ing since Gen. Hagood's time.
The present legislature is presumably
no more extravagant than any or all its
recent predecessors, but as its appropria-
tions for the year are not yet made it has
the opportunity to turn over new leaf.
Can any of our readers tell why our
law makers think it right to spend all tax
collections and act accordingly?-Barn-
well People.

G. RAYMOND Berry Gives Bond.

MARION, Feb. 3.-Ex-Superintendent
of Education G. Raymond Berry is at
liberty again. It will be remembered
that while in charge of the Office OF sup
erintendent of education of this county a
few years ago he was indicted for en-
bezzling the county's school book money,
and for forging 40 school trustees pay
certificates, but left for parts unknown
before he could be arrested; and that a
few months ago he was arrested in
Tampa, Fla, where he had been Joined
by his wife and children and was living
under an assumed name, and was brought
to Marion and lodged in Jail to await his
trial at the spring term of criminal court.
Soon after he was incarcerated he and
his relatives began active efforts to Sc
cure bail. At first the amount was fixed
at $4,000, which was afterwards reduced
to 81 400, approximately the amount of
the embezzlement and forgeries. This
was furnished by his relatives, and paid
in cash, and Berry Immediately left for
Tampa to join his family. To your cor

that he will 90 the other way, as convic.

In Memory of Herbert Fender.

Just at the close of the day, Monday,
February 9Th, the dark winged angel Of
death entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie Fender and claimed as its victim,
Herbert, their fifteen year old son.
His illness, although painful, was only
offour days duration. His remains will be
laid to rest by loving hands at Mt. Pleas
ant cemetery this afternoon.
Herbert was quiet, studious boy at
school, gentle with his play mates and
courteous to his teacher.
1t is sad to think he will not answer to
the roll call at school again, but We take
comfort in the thought that he answers
to the roll call in Heaven. He is loving
ly remembered by both teacher and class
mates.
If sympathy can allay one throh, we
offer it in full measurement to his be-
reaved parents. Hrs TEACHER.

A Neat Retert.

Senator Foraker was contradicting 8
certain statement.
Though this IS firm contradiction, .
he said, II want it to be a pleasant and
polite one. It is not necessary, when men
tell falsehoods, to call them liars and club
them over the head. Their error can be
pointed out in neater and more graceful
ways.
"For instance: -
"In small town in Indiana group Of
drummers were assembled. They sat IN
the reading room of the country hotel.
On the limsy hotel paper they had fin-
ished writing to their firms with the
lumpy ink and the rusted pens which the
hotel management provided, and now,
with newspaper reading and desultory
talk, they whiled away the tedious even
ing. z
"A young drummer in red tie took
the cigarette from his mouth and said:
"Well, my days sales here reached
$4,000. Not bad for small town, eh.' h:
can elderly drummer looked up from

Pointed Paragraphs.

Aself.satisfed man is always conceited.
It's not good for lovers to be too good
to he true.
Many man who knows his place has
his eye on better one.
Strange to say, the speaking likeness
of woman goes without saying.
Be sure you are right, but don't be too
sure that everybody else is wrong.
Many an otherwise truthful man will
lie about the fun he had while camping
out.
Our idea of fool man is one who waits
for the bartender to tell him when he has
enough.
Many a man looks upon marriage Ii
cense as blotter with which he expects
to blot out his past.
1t frequently happens that a woman
who was proud of man as beau is
ashamed of him as her husband.

The late James G. Carter, of the New
York bar, had often contended that there
were too many law books. 1t is said that
on one occasion he asked student, who
had just offered himself for the admission
examination, what the youthful aspirant
had read in preparation for the ordeal.
The ambitious one named about all the
elementary treatise from Blackstone's
"Commentaries" to date. In addition he
said he had studied the codes, read Wool.
sey's "Political Science" Liber's "Code
of Political Ethics" and he added, "all
the leading cases cited"
"Heavens and earth," exclaimed Carter
in dismay, "my boy, you've read enough
to ruin your chances as lawyer for life!"

It is said the postmaster general will
soon cnt off many of the routes now in
operation unless the people patronizing
them send out and receive more mail. 1t
is question for the people in the differ
ent sections to determine for themselves;
if they want them they must write more
letters and subscribe for all the papers
and magazines they can; the postoface
department is in earnest about cutting
them off and nothing can be done to
stop it unless the people show the proper
appreciation of what the government is
doing for them.
