Walnut and Second and Third streets.
While this house Is generally rec
ognized as the Oldest dwelling in the
city, the exact date of its construction
is not known. There are two bricks
In the walls which are scratched with
dates. One Of them is inscribed
"1701,' while the other indistinctly
bears figures 1892" 1t is upon the
last figures that the claim of antiquity
Is based and the various historical So
cieties of the city are convinced that
the belief is correct
Although no effort has been made by
the various historical societies or the
city to preserve it, the old building is
in good condition, and from present in
dications, it looks as though it could
withstand the buffetings of another
century. The walls bear no cracks,
and the plaster which holds the bricks
together hardly shows it's two CEN
turtles of wear. The joists of the two
floors are solid and must have been of
originally. In only two rooms has
the flooring been renewed, and this

SAVED OLD L.ADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.

Philadelphia. - Although Philadel-
phia is known as the "City of Homes"
and contains many public buildings of
historic renown, the number of resi-
dences of the seventeenth century
now standing are comparatively few.
One of the reasons for the disappear
ance of the old landmarks is the fact
that many Of the old residential Sec
lions of the city have been trans
formed into business localities and
the old structures have given place to
modern office buildings and business
houses. 1t is curious fact that the

BENEATH BIG BEECH
Rural Dominic Ties NuptiaI Knots

Rev. Josiah Burton, a rural dominic,
living four miles east of Gosport, tie
the matrimonial knot beneath the
boughs of "Cupids Beech" Then, if
his record holds, all divorce laws may
be eliminated from the statutes and
no one need go singing: I'm On My
Way to Reno 1t is the Rev. Josiah
Burton's proud boast that no divorce
court has ever severed a tie he bound.
The Rev. Josiah Burton has three
affairs of matrimony-his little church
across the fields, his home and-most

tree that has been popularity chris

marriage ceremonies performed be-

the corner Of the fence that surrounds
the old minister's home and no mar
riage ever solemnized in it's shade has
ever been shattered by divorce
court.
The Rev. Josiah Burton Is an inter-
esting man in an interesting locality
Not only do his matrimonial knots
stay tied, but there seems to be some
good angel lowering over the hills in
which he dwells whose mission is to
grant happy old age to all who find a
home there. To die under so in the
vicinity of "Cupid's Beech" is looked
upon as passing away in infancy.

Cupid's Beech.

the Carolinas. Among those who
came was John Burton, the father -
Josiah. In the year 1878 he settled
on a tract of ground four miles east
Of Gosport in a section now known as
Liberty Church neighborhood. The
country was then sparsely settled and
there were only mere bride paths
leading to the few settlements.
BY 1880 the country had become a
talk of establishing a church. There
were many denominations in the
neighborhood, and it was finally de-
cided to build church that should be
non-denominational, but with lean
ings toward the Methodist Protestant
creed. John Burton gave enough
ground for the building of a church,
and another member of the new or
ganization donated ground for ceme-
terry adjoining the church.
On the morning of September 23,
1881, company of neighbors gath
cred at the spot given by John Bur-
ton as church site. Each carried a
broadax. The men were divided into
two squads. They then went into the
forest in search of yellow poplar
trees. The giants of the wilderness
began to fall and soon the brethren
were hewing the trees with that ex-
pert swing known only to the pio-
neers
When dinner time came the church
builders sat down to a meal such as
only old-fashioned cooks could cook
All of the food and the dishes were
carried to the place by 10-year-old
boy. That boy was Josiah Burton,
and the church was started on his
tenth birthday.
Liberty Church is an interesting
type of the old-fashioned meeting
house. 1t is plain room with plain,
old-fashioned pews. The pulpit was
made by local carpenter and the
choir and organ have slightly ,ele-
waited platform to the left of the min
lister.
If there is one thing that makes the
aged minister who presides at Liberty
Church happy 1t is a wedding. He
doesn't know how many couples he
has united in marriage, but he has yet
to hear of one of them being broken
by a divorce decree. Uncle Josiah
takes supreme delight in having some
couple drive up to the door and call
him out to tie the nuptial knot. It is
then that he dons his Prince Albert
and white cravat and puts on his
most responsible air. In recent years
he has had numerous calls for we'd
dings in the shade Of "Cupid's

The Slider i'm the Web GfUniOm
CITY

The crafty spider weaves his web, covering
the space which he has marked out for him
self, and then he reties to the center OF 1t and
let's the fig do the rest. He knows perfectly
we'll that whenever the helpless insect strikes
the net, he can run out and drag the carcass
into the deadly center
Now, a few years ago, certain spider from
the State of Texas arrived in Georgia, and he
straightway begun to weave his web. From
sprig to sprig, and from limb to limb, the ten,
drills were flung, until the oho1e State OF
Georgia aoas SPIDERS ece6, and IN the center
of 1t sat, blinking, a fat, pu1py spider He
expected the innocent insect, flying hither and
thither, to strike the tendrils of his cunningly
woven snare and to be conveyed, in due
course, to the center of the web, qOhere the
spider might feast upon the fig. The center
of the web was Union City. The spider
fat sleek, oily, somewhat dirty and blinking
was Duclxworth. The lecturers sent out to
work for the Farmers Union were really
working for the spider. They did not dare
