ID HILADELPHIA.-G Lutheran
i church of Roxborough is erecting
a handsome Gothic edifice on the
northwest corner of Ridge and Rox-
borough avenues. The site is a his
toric one and was long revered by
the older residents for the part taken
there during the revolutionary war
The old stone dwelling has been de-
molished, but the large barn in the
rear not only has been preserved, but
is being used as house of worship
while the building of the church
home is in progress.
Both the barn and the house fig
ured in a cowardly proceeding during
the winter of 1777-177S, while the Brit
ish were in possession of Philadelphia.
Washington's army was at Valley
Forge, enduring the hardships Of that
terrible winter and scouting parties
were frequently sent out from the en-
campment there to the outlying dis
tricts of the city. One December
afternoon, during snowstorm, a
company of Virginia troopers rode

the Plymouth road, through Roxbor-

Circularization has been carried to
such an extent that much of its ef-
fectiveness is frequently lost and
many circulars never reach the buyer
to whom they are addressed. whereas
the telephone call can usually be a
direct communication. A haberdasher

inviting barn, stopped at the house
and asked permission of Andrew
Wood, the owner, to spend the night
in the barn. Wood was patriot, and
at once acceded to the request, urg-
ing a number of the troopers to spend
the night in the house.
Midnight passed, and the weary
troopers were indulging in dreams OF
Celiverance from their foes and a
safe return to their own firesides
when suddenly the sentinel detected
the approach of body of horsemen.
He had scarcely given an alarm when
they rushed by him. In a moment
the house and barn was the scene Of
confusion, alarm and disorder. Al
ready had some of the Virginia troop
ers mounted their horses and were
fastening to escape by Cares lane,
opposite the house, when the British
rushed on to the attack. giving no
quarter. Many of the Americans es-
capped, but those remaining were
fallen upon and murdered IN cold
blood.
Grace Lutheran church, after hold
ing services in the Roxborough Ly-
ceum hall, rented the Woods house,
the lower part of which was fitted up
as a chapel, with Sunday school
rooms on the upper floors. The prop
erty was subsequently purchased, the
old house torn down and the barn
brought into Service.

then ship directly to us. Over at our
laboratory these queues are first thor
oughly disinfected, the greatest care
being taken, then they are bleached

are dyed the ordinary shades they

Then they are put on a hackle. a
board set with sharp steel spikes,
where they are separated into even

switch, the popular length, must have
every hair precisely rs inches long. In
the average switch there are about six
different shades of one color which
must be blended together on the
hackle.

Some Pointers to Be Remembered b,

nervous force in speaking through the
telephone than would be needed to
keep them strong and healthy for
years.

ence knows no strain Therefore a

carry over the telephone wire as well
as low one.

unintelligen' bosh.

presently the professor saw another
ghost, of similar aspect, not far away
and then another and another, until
there were at least half a dozen. 1t
was not surprising that the townspeo
pie (crediting report to the effect
that the burglars wife and children
deprived of the family breadwinner
had died of starvation) should declare
that these unfortunates came at night
to dance over the graves.
Professor McGee found It impossi
BILE to get within q dozen feet of the
phantoms, which would always vanish
on his near approach. He is unable
TO explain this circumstance; but he
became convinced through careful
study of the apparitions that they
were nothing more nor less than gas
eous emanations of a self-luminous
character. In all probability they
we're largely composed of phosphorus,
derived from the dead bodies of peo-

who thought he had been cheated In a
land trade, asked the agricultural de-
partment what he could raise on the
Land. 1t was dry and sandy soil near

the answer. This year the Bermuda
onion crop marketed from this dis.

to-day, when. in response to call
from Cumberland county's newly elect

of the county met in mass meeting to
discuss the nature of legislation to be
asked for at the session of the state
lawmakers.
AS result of thorough discussion
resolutions were adopted requesting
the Legislature to procure the estab-
lishment of legalized primary for
Cumberland county, and the passage
court in Fayetteville, and giving one
member of the Board of County Com
missioners a salary sufficient to enable
him to devote his entire time To the
county's affairs, thus increasing the
efficiency of this board
No decisive action was taken on the
most thoroughly discussed subject be-
fore the meeting, that OF good roads.
This question was referred to meet
ing to be held January I, which State
Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt was, by
resolution, invited to address, and TO
form a good roads association at that
time. Mayor James d. MCNEIL, of
Fayetteville, was made chairman of
