Marines are not sailors. Their duties
are purely military and they wear dis
tipctive uniform of their own. 1t is neat,
digniied and attractive. They serve on
board the large battleships and cruisers,
but not on the smaller ships. On board
ships they are orderlies for the admirals
and captains: guard the ship; man their
share of the ships guns, and are mill
tary company or the soldiers of the ship.
They land for drills, exercises and camp
ing ashore whenever practicable.
Marines also serve in our foreign pos
sessions, such as the Philippines, Cuba,
Honolulu, etc., and also in China and
other places where guards are required
for our legations. There is regiment
at Olongapo in the Philippines held in
constant readiness to be placed on board
men -of-war to be landed for immediate
service in the Orient. Expeditionary
work is the feature of the service that is
most interesting. When trouble arises
first on the spot. The companies on
board ship and Marines from ashore are
hurried to the scene of trouble. In the
Unitad States they are stationed at the
navy Yards where they are always ready
for any service required.
A distinct advantage of service in the
Marine Corps lies in its varied service.
The service is roughly divided: one third
on the men-of-war; one third in the
United States, and one third in our for
eign possessions.
A Marines life is never monotonous;
moreover, he is ordinarily sent where he
wishes to go, and in forming parties it is
usual to select the men who ask for the
assignment. An excellent spirit per-
vades the Corps and every Marine is
loyal to his corps.
After serving an enlistment and re-
turning to civil life, young man will
not only be of value to his country, but
his experiences and knowledge of mill
tary service will put him in position to
advance himself rapidly to the front

He Knew of but One.

Many years ago De Scott Evans, the
artist, took a trip to Jamaica, and
upon his return to New York he ex-
hibited number of pictures that he
had painted during his outing.
One day a man who had been look
ing through the studio stopped before
certain picture and asked:
"What does this representa-"
"That," said Mr.. Evans, sis scene,
In jamaica"
Jamaican echoed the visitor.
sThat's strange. l don't remember
ever seeing anything like that in ia
maica''
"You have been there, then. have
you?" the artist inquired.
ooh, yes! 1 live there"
'Well, you surely must be acquaint-
ed with this place then. 1t is a street
scene in the principal town of the is
land"
The man from Jamaica looked at
Mr.. Evans for a moment as if he
thought the latter must be daft. Then
he emphatically declared:
II live in Jamaica, and there isn't
street in the town that bears the re-
hottest resemblance to that picture"
The mention of Jamaica as town
cleared away the mist.

pRocnAMAr1oN BY GOVERNOR DAvIDso

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR DAVIDSON.
A feeling of gratitude to our heroic
dead finds expression in annually dec
Grating their last resting places with
flowers, thus cherishing and revering
their memories.
The Thirtieth of May has been set
apart by our people to manifest spirit
of gratitude by placing the first flowers
of springtime upon the graves OF those
who fell in defense of our country. This
custom commends itself to all as a fitting
tribute to the memory of those whom we
love to honor, and is an incentive to the
living to emulate their example and
deeds of valor.
1t is due from US as loyal people
ever to keep in mind, with reverential
appreciation, the sacrifices made by the
men who gave their lives that the Union
might be perpetuated. The participa-
ton in these exercises once each year
will, more than any other act, serve to
remind this generation of the awful
price, in blood and treasure, paid to in
sure national unity.
| therefore recommend that our citl-
zens join on that day with the Grand
Army of the Republic and other organ
izations, where they exist, in appropriate
ceremonies, and that all take some part
in the proper observance of the day.

Big Appropriation for Roads.


The Rock county board of supervisors
closed a four days session on Friday
after making appropriations OF about
S25 600 for improvement of the country
highways and road machinery. For the
purchase of two new road rollers $500
was raised.
Committee No. 10 reported adversely
on the proposition of establishing a
lighting plant in the county Jail, on the
grounds that the plan was not feasible
because there was no one to take care OF
such an apparatus. The sum of $500, or
so much thereof as may be needed, was
appropriated for the purpose of Install
ing a new entrance and swinging doors
on the second floor of the court house.
An appropriation of $500 was made for
the purpose Of having the outer wood
and metal work of the courthouse and
county Jail painted. The courthouse re-
Ceived it's last coat OF paint twelve years
ago. A resolution submitted by Super
visor Paul and passed, preseribes the
duties of the district attorney in the
matter of giving advice to town chair
men on road building questions.
A petition for remodeling the circuit
