q have succeeded in locating a de- scendant of the late Thomas. r. Far rar. who organized Farrar lodge of Masons at Elyton back In the twenties, was the first worshipful master of the grand lodge of Masons of Alabama and was one of the prominent first settlers of this section," said IL K. White, the well known Birmingham attorney, yes terday.
 q read your sketch published in The Age Herald some months ago, giving an account of tho organization of the Elyton lodge and also referring to the well known Byaron quota tion chiseled in the rocks near Hale Springs to which is attached the names of Thomas F. Farrar and Seraphine Farrar
 "The inscription bears the date of August 12, 1928. Hundreds of people have seen the inscription and won dered at its age and the circumstances under which 1t was ehiseled.
 "Thomas Farrar was very prominent in the early twenties at Elyton but he seems to have disappeared and no one now living here seems to have any recollection of him personally. When I read your sketch 1t oc- cured to me that I had made the &C., quaintance of a possible descendant of this man while attending a session of the United States court of appeals at New Orleans few years ago. This mans name is Edgar H. Farrar and by the way he Is one of the prom inent men of Louisiana. He Is a mem Der of one of the most influential law firms of the Crescent City and is prom inent politically.

ANCIENT LONDON.
When Danger and Lanthorns Were

When Danger and Lanthorns Were
Abroad After Dark.
Less than 200 years ago the watch
men Of London town, carrying horn
lanthorns and halberds, dressed in long
coats and knee brooches, walked up
and down the cobbled streets of the
worlds largest city chanting the fol.
lowing verse:
A light there, maids. Hang out your light
And see your horns be clear and bright,
That so your candle clear may shine
Continuing from six to nine,
That honest men that walk along
May see to pass safe without wrong.
1t is beyond our comprehension and
Imagination in these days of flaming
arc lamps and brilliantly lighted
streets to picture the streets of Lon.
don in the lawless age when only a
candle with a cotton wick was hung
out here and there on dark nights. II
was an age of lanthorns, of flambeaux
and linkboys, when every one made
his will and prepared for death when
he ventured out at night.
It is so written that it was a com
mon practice in that city for a com
pany of hundred or more to make
nightly invasions upon houses Of the
wealthy to kill and rob, and it is re-
corded 'that when night was come nc
man burst venture to walk in the
streets. "-Springfeld Union.

Forest Fires Subdued

Heavy rains have effectually put an
end to the remnants of the numerous
forest fires that have been devastating
the Black Hills national forest for the
past ten days, and all danger from that
source has been removed. The several
fires have burned over several thousand
acres of the best timber in the central
hills, but the exact loss has not yet
been estimated by the forestry officials.
Every effort is being made by the Bur-
lington railroad to prevent further con-
flagations from sparks from engines, as
il is believed that at least two of the
recent fires originated in that way.
