SEARCHING FOR HIS BOY
Son.

G II Godbold, from near Row
land, N. g., was in town last week
searching for his boy, Alton God
bold, who left his homo last Sep
TENDER in company with Riley
Driggers. Having searched Ches-
tcrlield county, Marlboro, and
parts Of North Carolina the father
was discouraged and felt that he
would probably never see his boy
again. He has offered a reward
for information as to the whcrca-
bouts Of Driggcrs or the boy and
he is determined to have them and
will leave no stone unturned unit
this end is reached.
Godbold stated that he was q
farmer living near Rowland and
that last year Riley Driggers was
hired by him on the first of April.
He said that his boy Alton, who is
about 13 years Of age, became
very much attached to Driggers
and that they we're constantly to-
gether; that Driggers and the boy
were always in each others com
pany. Driggers is a bachelor and
often he would take the boy and
keep him at his home. Godbold
said that sometime along about the
latter part of August Driggers
bought the boy a single barrel gun
and this added to the attachment
which was already very marked.
He said that he would often make
the boy stay at home and not al
low him to spend the night with
Driggers and when this was tho
case the latter would be late il
coming to his work and would ap.
pear sullcn.
Along in the carly part Of las
September Driggcrs, according tc
statement which was made by
Godbold, took the boy and depart
cd. The father was not uneasy at
first for often Driggcrs had takcl
the boy off for Il few days at tn,
sine. But after several days hac

thc father was straining every
faculty to oct Che unpickcd cotton
gathered. Still no word came from
Dliggcrs and Che boy.
Affairs rocked along in this
style and some months passed. Ii
was in December when the first
news came and then it was heard
that a man and a boy had been
seen in Chesterfield county. a,

and the boy had stopped for a few
days, 1t is said that he bought
some rations there and gave out
that he was going to remain there
and work but one night he vanish
cd taking the boy with him.
Godbold still believed that
Driggcrs had only gone to some
of his friends and that he would
turn up with the boy. He waited
patiently but finally on tho first of
this month he concluded that he
would start out and e what he
could learn as to the whereabouts
of the man and MS boy. Starting
out in buggy he made his way
into Chesterfield county, search
ing. He found where they had
been along, but nothing definite
could be learned. On through the
country he went and found them
not. Then he turned to Marlbo-
TO and searched again but without
result. Finally he arrived in Ben
ncttsvillc, exhausted and dis
couragcd and it was here that he
told the tale of his Screenings and
wandcrings for the boy and the
man who had cnticed the little fcI
low away from home.

There was considerable discussion as
to extending the water mains north
and south of Broadway on Seventh
street northeast. Some thought that
if those along the way of the proposed
improvement would take water for
private use, the water company might
consider the idea of extending the
mains some distance further, without
the necessity of putting in hydrant
at every block. A committee will
look into the mater and report at
the meeting to be held next Thursday
evening.

Co unity Commissioners

The commissioners, after finishing
the business of the board of equaliza-
tion, reconvened as commissioners
and transacted some business left over
from the regular July meeting.
A number OF abatements for real
estate taxes in towns Of Buh and
Platte were approved.
S. Hammerbeck presented a petition
asking that Ditch No. 1 be cleared and
widened. It was laid over to next
meeting On advice of county attorney.
The petition of Aug. Berg]und and
others in regard to county poor system
was rejected. This is proposition
that would pactlcally mean county
poor farm, thus eliminating the care
of the poor by the towns. A petition,
however, signed by fourth of the
voters, will put the matter on the
ballot. The petitioners may adopt this
method.
A resolution In regard to con-
tagious diseases was passed, that the
county attorney be instructed to
notify the different town boards that
they should try and collect the same
from the parties for whom the bills
were contracted.

VERDICT OF $29, O00,O IS SET
ASIDE.

Chicago, July 22.-The Standard
Oil company secured great victory
from the .. s. circuit court Of
appeals. The court today handed
down decision reversing Judge
Landis who imposed the greatest fine
ever handed down by any court in the
land, amounting in all to over twenty
nine million dollars. The oil company
was also given new trial.
The findings of Judge Landis were
somewhat sensational in the magni-
tude Of the fine imposed, and the
Standard Oil company has been max
ing a hard fight to set aside the
decision Of the court This does not
necessarily mean an ultimate victory
for the Standard OIL company, as the
government has strong case against
it, and will proceed to the second trial
as soon as possible. However, in view
of the decision of the circuit court it
is not probable that even if convicted
SO large a fine will be extracted from

ASK FOR BIDS ON PAVING.

A meeting of the board of public
works was held Monday evening at the
city hall, all the members being
present, and the paving question was
thoroughly discussed. After the plans
and specifications were heard and
approved, it was decided to call for
bids for the work, all bids to be
opened at meeting of the board on
August 5. The specifications call for
a six-inch layer of coarse rock, rolled
down to four and half inches on
top of this four-inch layer of finer
crushed rock; then two-inch layer of
still finer crushed rock, and the three
layers rolled down to total of eight
inches. A two-i inch layer of crushed
rock screening will top the preceding
layers; and a moulder's sand or clay
binding will be used instead of tar
binding, as the latter binding would
come too h1gh-priced. A four-foot
cobblestone gutter will be con-
structed. s III
The contractor will have the use of
the city's stone crusher and steam
roller. =,
The work is to be completed by
September IL, and the contractor is to
be subject to q fine of $2U per day for
each day it takes later than this date
to complete the work
The board also discussed the West
side crossings at this meeting.

'Of most Of the labors of Mgr. Buh
only the recording angel can tell, of
the exterior work of forming new
parishes, centers of worship, of
churches built, Of students and priests
encouraged to give themselves to
Coos service in these places visited
we can know something; of that inner
life, of the intimate relations between
priest and penitent-of the sore hearts
healed-of the sick consoled. these are
subjects only to be known on the great
accounting day.
TO the religious Of st. Benedi t
the nonsignor has been the guide and
protector, and they only can best
appreciate his labors.
las vica general Of the diocese of
Duluth Mgr. Buh has been faithful
friend and sound adviser.
ITO these fifty golden years of
active service we cordially wish him
yet many more to round out his life
FOR God and souls. The reward OF
rsueh life is the calm of a we'll
ordered conscience, the peace of mind
whfsh is but a. foretaste OF that joy
which God has promised to those who
serve him. Well lone thou good and
faithful servant because thou art
faithful over few things, I will
place thee over many. Enter thou
into the joy Of thy God. -
