Ed John Died Suddenly.

j. E. John, who lived one mile
north of town, died at 2 a M
Thursday morning at Calvert's drug
store. He was in town Wednesday
afternoon feeling as we'll as usual
and while at W. d. Bateman's place
he felt a pain in his head and went
from there to Calvert's drug store
and told Dr. Calvert his trouble and
soon afterward he fell into unten-
seriousness and knew nothing more.
He was hurt in the head four years
ago. He was trying to back a team
which was hitched to wagon when
the ring on the end of the breast
yoke flew off and the end of the
breastyoke struck him in the head.
Since that time he has been troubled
with epilepsy at times He was a
clever young man and had many
friends all over this country to
mourn his death. He was a member
of the Baptist church. The funeral
was conducted at the grave Thurs
day at p, m. He is survived by
father, brothers and sisters and
wife and four children.-Italy News

gar company whose capitalization is

pany has large holdings in the Rio

immense sugar development in that

Machine for Building Sidewalks

One of the latest labor saving de-
vices is machine that lays and fin
ishes cement sidewalks with remark
able rapidity. 1t consists of a travel
ing mold and a winch for pulling
the mold ahead. The concrete for
the base of the sidewalk is shoveled
or dumped into the front part Of the
mold, and the finishing mortar is
shoveled or dumped into the hopper
at the middle of the mold This hop
per is so designed that it feeds thin
layer of mortar on to the concrete
base as the mold travels forward
Thus a complete and perfect side
walk is delivered at the rear end Of
the machine. No skilled finishers
are required. No labor is needed to
build forms. No men are needed to
lamp the concrete. In brief, says
Cement Age, New York, the process
is simply one of mixing the ingredi-
ents and depositing them into the
proper part of the travelling mold
The mold does the rest With a prop
erly organized gang, the mold is
kept travelling continuously at the
rate of two feet per minute. The
shape of the mold is such that the
concrete is squeezed both laterally
and vertically into a dense block,
which, as above stated, requires no
ramming. Perhaps the most remark
able feature of the mold is the per-
feet finish that it gives to the side
walk. The walk looks as If it had
been hand finished with floats.

A Birthday Party.

Matte Louise Farley at home to
her little friends Thursday, August
81, 4:30 to $50.
These little invitations were in
strumental in bringing sixty-five of
Miss Louises little friends to the
pretty home of her parents on Brown
street at the appointed hour. Each
little guest presented the little hos
tess with little package, which,
when opened by her, was found to
contain beautiful gift.
The dining table, with its beau
tiful lunch cloth and vase of cut
flowers, was soon filled to overflow
ing with gifts both useful and orna-
mental
Having fully admired these, and
wishing 20, how we could have a
birthday party" we were invited
out on the lawn where biting the
apple on string and dropping the
handkerchief were INDUCED In, and
last. but not least, pinning the tail
on the donkey. Little Mary Owens
won the prize for pinning it nearest
to where it rightfully belonged.
Kodak pictures were taken Of
the crowd, and then, o, joy! ice
cream cones were served to each
and every one on the lawn.
Many grown ups were present
and surely must have said over
night:
Backward o, backward,
Time in your flight,
And make me child again
Just for (this afternoon.)
for they surely seemed to enjoy
1t all.
All things must have an end, SO
we reluctantly babe our little hos
tess goodbye, wishing her many
more such happy occasions.

INCREASE IN SCHOOL TAX.
Efforts in Behalf of Proposed Con-
stitutiona1 Amendment.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 2S.-The
state superintendent of public in
struction and those interested in
school work are making every pos
sihle effort to have the constitution
al amendment proposing an increase
in school tax adopted at the coming
election. 1t will mean that school
districts may issue bonds on a soc
tax levy instead of being restricted
to zoe as now. When the courts
knocked out the tax limit of Use
districts all school improvement
stopped and new districts were not
formed and an old one could not
issue bonds, though something over
a million dollars of said bonds were
in the process of execution. They
will not be presented, much less APP
proved.
That action left the maximum tax
in Texas only zoe and applicable to
COtIllHOu SCnOOl ulStIiClo WHICH ID
OF near enough for the modern
school work. The constitutional
amendment proposes to raise it to
soc and that will help some, though
it will not be quite as satisfactory
as at the 75c. Especial efforts will
be made to have the amendment car
ried. The legislature then might be
able to Constitutionally permit indie
pendent districts to levy as much as
soc tax, though not any more than
the maximum for the common
school district by the constitution.
Inquiries are being received al
most daily by the department of ed
ucs ton and attorney generals de-
K rtment relative to said situati ia
and all that can be said is that the
tax limit is zoe for common school
districts, that 1t can not be soc I'M
til constitutional amendment is
adopted. If it is adopted there will
be no need of an act of the legis-
lature making it effective, for the
constitution provision, zoe, already
exists. 1t will change it to soc.

Saddlery company the other night,
although he was under the impress
sion that he had recovered all OF
them. The knives were offered for
sale at Rocket by the boys who
were implicated in the burglary of

NEGRO PASTOR 1873 YEARS OLD.
Aged Methodist During Sermon
Points Out Place Where He
Did It.

DIu
New York, Aug 28.-In a sermon
at Zion African Methodist Episcopal
church, in Somerville, N. j., the
Rev. Mason Brooks, a negro clergy
man, said that he is 1873 years old,
and that he remembers having held
George Washington's horse on the
road between Sommerville and Rari-
tan.
The clergymen said he was born
In Cuba in 1870, and was brought
to Sommerville county, New Jersey,
when a child He said he was 10
years old when he held Gen. Wash
ingtons horse. He illustrated this
part of his narrative by walking out
along the road toward Raritan and
locating the exact spot at which he
said he had held the horse. The spot
is near an old tree that has been a
landmark time out of mind.
Mr.. Brooks says he has preached
for the last 70 years and that he has
spent five years in Egypt, where he
die missionary work.
He says he knows he is older
than the celebrated Noah Raby who
died in the poorhcuse in Middlesex
county, New Jersey, a few years ago
at the supposed age OF 100 years.
The church was crowded with me-
ices eager to hear the sermon.
