IMPORTANT CASE
In BANKRUPTCY

An interesting question arose lii the
city in the case OF the defuncl Mer-
chants and Miners, Bank Of Rawhide,
Nevada, which bank failed about
eighteen months ago with liabilities OF
a mius quantity. The attorneys for
the petitioning creditors, MARK Waiscr
of Rawhide and Geo l.. Sanford OI
this city. secured an adjudication OF
bankruptcy in the case several months
ago on the ground that the banking
firm Was a CO-partnerHhip composed OF
NOlney b. Leonard. 5. W. Collins, i.
II. McLauGhlin. a. FREEMAN and Frank
Knox, and that it was insolvcnl and
unable to meet its obligations. The
case was fOugnt in the courts for
almost IA year before the final adju
dicatiOn was obtained.
Shortly after the order ot the court

ings set aside, claiming That he had
no knowledge OF them until after lIr
adjudication and farther, that he was
not cO-partner IN the institution.

UNKEMPT YARDS.
How They Can Be Transformed at
Little Expense and Trouble.

How They Can Be Transformed at
Little Expense and Trouble.
A well kept lawn with a few flow
ers repays one in large measure for
the work expended in its care. \ trim,
orderly lawn and yard give one feel
ing Of self respect and satisfaction
that help to keep the daily work from
becoming the daily grind. Then, too,
where one resident Of a block beauti-
fies his surrounding, others follow the
good example, and in this way the
movement spreads and the entire town
is made attractive. And attractive
towns are what home seekers and man
ufacturers are looking for these days.
A scythe and mower, hoe and rake
can transform an unkempt yard into
a smooth, green lawn; bed Of red
geraniums adds beauty and is easily
cared for. Bright spots Of solid color
add more 10 the appearance OF lawn
than haphazard mixtures OF flowers.
Golden glow is a good lawn shrub.
1t is hardy and easily grown. IL
blooms late in the fall when most Of
the flowers are gone. II grows very
tall and is bright yellow. Saliva, a
shrub bearing brilliant red flowers, is
snowy and very satisfactory.
Dahlias are acceptable for lawn use
and can be had in a large variety OF
colors For the small beds nastur-
tiums and sweet peas are excellent.
The latter are better used as a screen
or boundary and can be planted against
the fence which marks the rear of the
lawn. The lawn should be well fenced
10 keep chickens away from the grass.
II not. they ruin II in n short time.
They have no business near the house.
In arranging for the summer flow
ers It is better not 10 cut up the ex-
panse Of grass into too many small
beds. but have Just a few spots Of
bright color. The flowers that are
planted will need care. 4 few beds
well tended are preferable to many
half cared for. When making your
plans don't map out more than you
can manage.

City Beautiful.
The universal establishment Of the

me proper education and development
Of taste in the child This phase Of
civic improvement work is too often
neglected. even If thought Of. for in

Could we train and educate the child
in civic identifying and bette>ment an
the problems incident thereto would
be at once solved.
AT the present but few are either
educated. trained or interested in the
work, and these are missionaries en-
deavoring 10 interest and convert the
Indifferent masses. The great under

His Daily Courtesy.

For decade and more il was the
habit of DR.. White on leaving home
in the morning TO take the Times
Dispatch of the day previous and toss
it in the yard of neighbor. If the
rain or snow was falling he walked to
the porch and put it safely under
cover. This looks like simple and
easy thing to do, but persisted in
through the years and it assumes the
proportions of a splendid act of cour-
tesy. Not one day, but many days,
not one year, but many years. Be
hind this daily tribute of thoughtful
interest there beat the generous heart
of grand man.
