and military rank in every European
state of consequence. But it is the fact
that King George served as a common
ordinary BRITISH naval cadet away back
in 1877, aboard the od-fashioned war;
ship, the Britannia, that has stirred the
most enthusiasm among his subjects.
At that period he not heir-appar-

brother. the Duke of Clarence, until the
latter's death in 1892, and King George
served through all the various lower
grades of the British navy. He was made

1884, and gained another step in another
year and became full -dedged lieuten-

Goose and Gander

Ed Bliss bought fine live gander OF
one OF his neighbor boys just before
Christmas expecting to make goose
Christmas dinner, but Ed got TO lik-
ing the old fellow so well that his heart
softened and he concluded to keep him,
he thought all the time it was goose,
until he secured the services of an ex-
pert in gooseology, who informed him
it was gander, Mr.. Bliss then made
up his mind If he could find a good
goose he would raise geese from gosl-
ings. The meat market men had a
flock of live geese brought in for holi-
day marketing and he bought one to
mate his gander and now it is ques-
ton whether the geese are ganders or
the ganders are geese.

ORLEANS GETS
GOOD ROAD

Mile Built Under State
Reward
COST ABOUT $500,
State Gives Five Hundred Toward il

scribe Literally

State Highway Commissioner Ely
last week accepted the mile of state re-
ward road which has been built in Or
leans township, running from Orleans
tcnlcr east This piece of road WAS be-
gun OH October 81, and OH November
2j, it was finished.
last spring, Orleans voted 81, 500 for
highway purposes and it was spread
abroad that mile of state reward road
would be built. This mile would be
given TO the property owner that would
subscribe the largest amount to add to
the fund. Farmers along the different
routes got busy, but those who resided
east of the Center won out. The pro-
perty owners along the new mile of
road are John Greenop, Frank Alder
man, Lou Wheeler, John Cusser, Frank
Peabody and Levi Howe. Other con-
tributions were received from some who
lived east of the mile, but who would
use the road, making the amount sub
scribed for that mile about $500. This,
added TO the amount voted by the town.
ship and the $500 given by the state
brought the total for highway purposes
up 10 about 81, 800.
1t is estimated that in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 800 will cover the cost of the
mile of state road which will leave Or
leans about 81 900 for other roads. The
half mile from the Center south of Or
leans will be improved and work will
probably be done if not started already
on half mile of road near the Greene
school house.
The new road is good one and will
mean much to Orleans. The good roads
movement is rapidly spreading through
the ecounty.
