Events at CaMpton and Stanton,

[Coutinued from last week |
CAMPTON.


Saturday. We were surprised to
arm that natural gas will be dis
continued in the town on Dec. LIST.
Many people half froze" last win
ter but were without coal. Now
they are supplied with coal and
the gas will be out. We are quite
sure there has been a reckless
waste of gas by consumers at
Campton and also at Hazel Green.
The supply would no doubt last
longer if the owners of gas fields
would put in meters. Then con-
sumers would be economic in use
of it. A good thing can be abused.
About 100, 200 railroad ties are
stacked at Campton for shipment
over. Mountain Central to l.. & f.
The distance is about 13 miles and
the freight is 11ac on each tie.
Transportation by wagon is l2c.
We feel confident that passengers
over the Central will in the future
be more comfortable in co Id
weather.
We were called on Saturday
morning for breakfast, walked
about / mile and were on time for
$40 train. The morning was cold
and rainy and the road slick. The
man with a lantern was NOT going
our way. AS we passed a dwell
ing we heard ayoung girl playing
on piano and singing: There's
No Place Like Home" How APP
propriate
Onward and homeward we di-
rected our footsteps.
MISCELLANEOUS.
As we 90 up and down in the
earth we see and hear things po-
litical, wise and otherwise"
Saw some folks who told why the
political landslide took place.
There is oneness of opinion that
something has happened to the
Democratic party. We accepted
the conclusion. Crookedness in
committee work and primary,
Hargisism and machine rule, dis
elimination between Powers and
Hargis are assigned as the chief
causes. That's the talk.
We saw two men pass us in
building and enter a room. They
seemed to have difficulty in fasten-
ing the door. In few seconds
they walked out, one wiping his
mouth. They certainly did not
think that our eyes were Y ray.
that our smelling machine was in
good order. We did not see the
necessity of SO much secrecy.
Twas all as plain as if they had
stopped before us in the hall and
said: Parson excuse us for taking
a nip. We smiled and thought.
Liquor is said to be good for SICK
editors and lawyers and other ami
mails, but we quit drinking more
than 30 years ago. We have
snuffed the breezes of both oceans,
have grown faint in high attitudes
of the Rockies, have basked under
tropical plants charmed by sweet
music, have exposed ourself to
heat and cold, have grown weary
with long tramps for Facts and
Observations, have been in love,
have attended social functions and
political conventions, have heard
other fellows cuss and tell yarns,
have seen some queer sights, but
have thus far seen no necessity for
whiskey drinking socially, hygien-
ically, morally, philosophically or
otherwise considered. This would
be queer world if everybody act
ed as every other body. 1t is good
neither to eat flesh nor drink wine
or anything whereby thy brother
stumbleth or is is offended or
made weak.

What Lava Is Good for

TOURISTS IN Italy are astonished ut the
practical use made of the lava that has
flowed from Vesuvius in past and recent erup-

to be a world of lava
The streets are paved with it there are
StnrcaseS and statues. drinking trouphs, brio
a-brac, and even jewelry of this strange ma
terlal which once dubbed from the yellow and
dripping hips OF the great crater above. The
careless guides make money out of it by press
ing COINS other objects on partially cooled
fragments and selling these to visitors. ON
the ashy TANKS of the mountain there IS
enough lava to build another New York or
Chicago-a shoreleSs frozen sea, it seems. of
