Que StlOn Now An Absorbing One With
The Prominent Citizens of Both
Towns-U. S. Engineer to Survey
Cheswold, February 8, 1909. The
two drawbridges controversy for
Leipsic river and the opening up
of the stream to its head near Ches-
weld called "The Leipsic and Ches-
void Waterway" is just now the
absorbing theme here. That the
National Government has control Of
this stream and in order to maintain
possession of it must demand that
this county in building a new bridge
at Leipsic cannery likewise "Mar-
tins Bridge" one mile farther up
stream must be reconsidered so that
both shall be draw bridges to accom-
modate shipping as well as travel, is
being seriously treated as also sneer-
/ ingly treated. The wisdom of the
scheme however, is growing in many
thoughtful minds who laughed when
first the proposition came to them.
1t is conceded that very little will be
accomplished probably this genera
tion. But they cite the fact that the
world moves and its inhabitants are
a so in mighy rush and the result
is great developments are constantly
coming to light. We must remember
that Mr.. Morse the inventor of te-
legraphy was the brunt of jokes anC
laughter. Even when Congress
granted him an appropriation it was
only in admiration of his perseverance
and yet to convince him that he wa!
crazy. The present stage of wireless
yet in its infancy, is startling t.

One of the former Smyrna boys who

Joe left Smyrna when 16 years of age
and went to Texas where his rise has
been steady and successful. Another
honor came to him recently, the story
of which is clipped from the 'Daily
Post'' of Houston, Texas of the issue
of January 14th.. 1t says: "The re-
port published in Tuesday morning. s
Post to the effect that j. M. Hufiing-
ton would succeed Ewing Boyd as
General Claim Agent of the Trinity

ally confirmed by the issuance bof a
circular from the Office of President
R. H. Baker. The change was effec-
tive January 10, 1909. This is compar-
atively a new line but one of the best
in the State. 1t is owned jointly by
the St. Louis & San Francisco, Chi

formally of the Legal Department o.

Mary Robinson the four year old
daughter of George Robinson of Spru-

burned to death Monday afternoon.
The little girl was alone in the
house at the time and while playing
around the stove her dress caught fire.
Screaming, she ran out of the house
to find her mother. The attention OF
Elijah Smith who was nearby at that
time was attracted to the little girl
and his quick response probably saved
the girls life. Mr.. Smith in extin-
gushing the flames had his hands
badly burned. The little girl escaped
without any serious burns.
