sss- ~ Case OF Swinaie Exposed. -
&The details of most unusual ease of
swindle were brought out at CIarks-
burg at the opening of the June term
of federal court when l.. B. Mcneil,
of Mergsntown, pleaded guilty to the
charge of using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. Mcneil was
indicted upon the testimony of Susan
Stevenson, of Grafton. Mrs. Steven
son had read an advertisement in
newspaper of the Remnant Company
of Morgantown, in which it was stated
that any woman sending two dollars
in money would be shipped ten yards
of fine silk direct from New York City.
Mrs. Stevenson sent her money and
received in return ten yards of silk
thread. She Immediately notified the.
authorities with the result that Mcneil
was indicted. He will be sentenced by
Judge Dayton some time later in the
term.

The folling speech by President Lin
coin on the Gettysburg battlefield is
regarded as one'of the masterpieces of
the language:
Four-score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in great civil war, test
ing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on great battle
field of that war. 8 We have come to
dedicate portion of that field, as
final resting place.for those swho here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and pro-
per that we should do this; but, ia =
larger sense, we can not dedicate-we
cantnot conservative can not hal
Iow-thls ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here,
have copsecrated it, far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world
will little Enote, nor. long remember
what we say here, but it can never for
get what they did here. 1T is for us,
the living, rather, to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far 30 nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task re-
naming before us--that frsn these
honored dead we take increased devs-
tion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devetion-that
we.here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain that this
nation, under Ged, shall have new
birth of freedom and that govern,
IA ent Of the people, by the people, for
the people shall not perish from the
earth.

my dear son. am just in the act
of leaving home for New Mexico. My
fine old regiment has to
that distant region, and / must hasten
to see that they are properly taken care
OF. have but little to add in reply
to your letters OF March 26th, 9th and
2sth. Your letters breathe a true spirit
of frankness; they have given myself
and your mother great pleasure.
"You must study to be frank with
the world; franknsss IS the child Of
honesty and courage. Say what you
mean to do on every occasion, and take
it for granted you mean to do right.
If friend asks you favor, You should
grant it if it is reasonable; If not, tell
him plainly why you cannot; you will
wreng yourself by equivocation of any
kind.
"Never do wrong thing to make a
friend or keep enc; the man who re-
quires you to do so is dearly purchased
at sacrifice. Deal kindly, but firmly,
with all your classmates; you will find
t the policy which wears best. Above
all, do not appear to others " hat you
are not. If you have any fault TO find
with any one tell him, not others, Of
what you complain; there is no more
dangerous experiment than that of I'M

nothing to theinjury of any one. 1t
is not only best as a matter of prin-

honor.
cIusion te-thisIhasty letter, inform you
that nearly a hundred years ago there
was day of remarkable gloom and
known as the dark
day day when the light of the sun
was slowly extinguished, as if by an
eclipse. The Legislature of Connect
cut was in session, and as its members
saw the unexpected and unaccountable
dar kness coming on they shared in the
general awe and terror. 1t WAS sup
posed by many that the last day-the
day of Judgment-had ceme. Some
one, in the CONSERVATION Of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old puritan legislator, Daven-
port, of Stanford, who said that if the
last day had come he desired to be
found at his place doing his duty, and,
therefore, that candles he brought in
SO that the House could proceed with |
its duty.
"Ihere was -quietness in that mans
the quietness of heavenly wis

NEST word IN our language. Do your

ANOTHER ELECTION IS ORDERED
Citizens Of Midlothian Secure Crea-
ton of New Road District,

The enterprising and public spir-
tied citizens of Midlothian, Mountain
Peak, Wyatt and Britton did not be-
come discouraged over the result of
the road bond election in justice
precinct number six last Saturday.
but their interest in the matter has
increased to that extent that they
have asked the commissioners court
to give them another opportunity TO
vote on the issuance of bonds for
good roads In order to secure ano-
ther election a new road improve
ment district had to be created and
upon application of more than fifty
property tax paying voters this has
been done. AT a special session of the
county commissioners Wednesday
morning a new district was created
in Justice precinct number six by
cutting out the northeast corner
known as the Onward community
The election has been ordered for the
IlTSl SATURDAY III StDttlhptl anu IhV
amount of bonds to be voted on is
ST 600 That portion of the precinct
which has been eliminated from the
new district is said to have been re-
sponsible for the defeat of the bonds
in last Saturdays election 1t is
claimed by those who were familiar
with the situation that nearly all
, the farmers of the Onward commun-
ity voted against the bonds, Their
F., action in defeating the measure
means that the only hope they have
to secure good roads is to build
them by private subscription, which
will prove much more expensive than
/ a tax on bonds,
In the election last Saturday
| Wyatt and Britton voted three tc
one in favor of the bonds while
Mountain Peak gave a majority oi
four to one. It is now believed thai
| in the next election these three pla
tces will increase their majority.
