Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs
Pat Carson after suffering stroke
of paralysis at 10 o'clock. She was
the youngest and last surviving
child of the late VIM. Lusk, Esq.
who before the war was quite a
prominent parsonage in Rockbridge
and for four years High Sheriff.
Miss Lusk was 10 years of age and
in recent years had made her home
with her niece, Mrs. Carson. Her
remains were buried in the cemetery
at Old Providence on Thursday
beside the other members of her
family who had preceded her.
District Superintendent OF Schools
G. W. Effinger spent last week visit
ing the schools in this district. On
Thursday he and Trustee Bell made
the trip to Irish Greek and Narrow
Pass schools. They found the schools
generally doing well, but much re-
duced in attendance, attributable in
part to sickness, and also to the
larger pupils having to go to work.
Our citizens are determined to
keep up with the procession. There
are three autos in town now owned
by Messrs. F. f. Fulwider, w. G.
Mccormick and R. NJ. Montgomery.

CITIZENS MEETING CALLED

The Lexington Town Council has
issued a call for meeting OF citizens
to discuss the local road proposition
and they urge large and repre-
sentative gathering, The meeting
will be held in the Courthouse Fri
day, March 25th, at $3.50 p. 10.
The only solution toprovide funds
for road and street Improvement
seems to be bond issue, and those
familiar with the situation claim that
$50, 1000. would accomplish this. In
terest on this would be $4,000, and
at the present rate of appropriating
s., 600 annually, $4,000 would be
left for street cleaning. repairs and
creating a sinking fund.
Let the citizens rally to the sup
port of the Street Committee, vote a
bond issue of $40, 200 or $50, 900 and
then streets and roads can be put in
proper condition, and yet without
any increase in taxation.

Calais is rather an untidy place for
a French town. The Place d'Armes,
where the tower Of the Hotel de Vile
has remained since the fifteenth cen
fury, is the center spot. Here Calais
meets it's friends and has it's cafe noir.
In the square. towering out Of the
roofs of surrounding houses and
dwarfing them, is the old watchtower.
Since 1913 it has been superseded as a
lighthouse by the magnificent one at
present in use. Never shall I forget
the effect Of this lighthouse as I stood
under it that night. The revolving
spokes of light cast away into filmy
space in all directions, looked like the
ribs Of a huge umbrella being turned
by the white handle, which was the
lighthouse tower. So tall is this that
it's revolving light can be seen from Il
distance of twenty miles at sea.-Wide

TRAVELLERS TALES.
Some That Were Discredited and Vim
dictated Iona Afterward.

Travellers tales have often been ac-
cused of being mere fights of imagi
nation, and in the past stay at home
people have sometimes erred in treat
ing travellers tales with scorn. There
was, for instance, the description by
James Bruce in ITO of the barbarous
Abyssinian custom of eating raw meat
cut from the living animal. which was
ridiculed by everybody. Yet Bruce has
even recently been proved right When
Paul Du ChaiIlu explored equatorial AT
RIGA in 1861 and described the wonder
full gorillas and also the nation of
dwarfs there he was discredited none
too politely by the British Royal Geo
gra phical society. Yet subsequent ex-
plorers amply indicated his veracity.
In the matter of discredited travel
ers' tales INDICATED long afterward it
will never be possible to beat the
classic instance in Herodotus. He
tells how King Neco of Egypt COM
missioned certain Phoenician mariners
to circumnavigate Africa if they could.
They did it, starting from the Red sea
and returning by the straits Of Gibral-
tar after very many months. And
they reported, says Herodotus, that in
rounding the southern end Of Africa
they had the sun on their right hand.
Il, for my part" be says, "do not be-
lieve this, but perhaps others may"
In modern times that detail is pre-
cisely what proves that the Phoeni-
clans did achieve the wonderful voy-
age. Such an improbable" fact could
never have been invented in an age
which was not familiar with the equa-
tor.-Chicago News.

RULES FOR WIVES.
To Which Is Added Some Feminine
Advice to Husbands.

N0V'S0 ~ 'sNS00uSeSs
Some presumptuous Frenchmen pub
lished list of commandments for
wives, one Of which ran: "Now and
then acknowledged gracefully that thy
husband knows more about some
things than thou. After all. thou art
not infallible." A second and still more
daring rule for wives was, "Never be
aggressive in thy arguments with thy
husband, but always consider him as
superior to thee" This was too much
for French feminists, and no wonder.
One lady answers the presumptuous
man Indignantly:
The weaker sex has not merely du-
ties; it has also rights. Feminism is
advancing, and nothing will stop it.
The weaker sex is the equal of the
sterner Equality forever! Here are
the commandments which women op-
pose to those of men.
The lady then gives her rules for
husbands with more spirit than logic:
Woman has a right to have whims;
it is a privilege of her sex. Never put
her out. She might have Mysteries.
which would impair her health and
cost the money in doctors bills
Another commandment runs:
Remember, good man, that thy wife
is thy superior by her grace. her beau
ty and refinement Therefore always
worship at her feet.
Where, then good lady, does equal
ity forever" come in, if woman not only
has privilege because she is woman.
but is decidedly superior to man?
Surely. the strong minded suffragist
would spurn privileges Of sex. In an
other rule the lady seems to show
some sly knowledge of her sisters.
If, good man. thou desirest mountain
air ask thy wife to come to the sea-

Two Cheerful Liars.

Two Americans were disputing as to
which had experienced the greatest
cold in winter. Said one: "In the part
Of Iceland where 1 was last summer
the ground is frozen so hard all the
year round that when they want to
bury man they just sharpen his feet
and drive him in with pile hammer"
The other replied: Eyes, l know
that place. Didn't stay there long
found it not quite bracing enough for
me. Went on to small town farther
north. The hotel where I was stay
ing caught fire. My room was on the
top story. No fire escapes or ladders
in that primitive settlement. Stair
cases burnt away. Luckily, kept my
presence of mind. Emptied my bath

own equanimity. If anything more
was needed it was supplied by the
sight of men crazed by fear ready
to do any foolish or selfish act. Pass
ing a house beside the road, | saw a
man standing in the door looking at
the coach with his eyes and mouth
wide open. But l saw him only mo-
ment, for he flew by like a cannon
ball
'"Then the swaying Of the coach grew
less and the terrible speed at which
we were going seemed to be lessening.
l put my head out the window and.
looking forward saw that we were
near the bottom of the incline and in
few moments would be rolling along
a comparatively straight ascent The
sudden transition from almost certain
death to sure safety produced a very
singular effect on me. The blows Of
the big man who had tried to force
me to open the door had produced no
effect on me of any kind. Relieved
from the strain, my first act was to
stretch my arm and plant my fist
against his eye and knock him sprawl
ing on the seat behind him. Then l
cried:
'Hurrah! We're safer
"From this moment our pace slacken-
ed, but we went far up the hill before
it was reduced to anything like a quiet
run. The coach was long while COM
ing to a full stop. seemingly as though
it must do so of it's own weight. When
it did we all tumbled out. The driver,
too. came down from the box and
stood at the head of his trembling
leaders.
"'What was it?' we all cried in a
breath.
"It wor that replied Mike, pointing
to the tongue that lay on the ground
at the heels of the wheelers. Patter-
son. who in addition to being i'll had
been on a terrible strain. saw it and,
realizing what we had escaped. had to
hold on to a wheel to avoid dropping
down. l went up to Mike and asked
him what measures he had taken with
the horses after the tongue dropped.

thrust at the other in her last rule
