RIVER PILOT IN HIS YOUTH

 Life Record,

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri ca's foremost humorist and known the world over as Mark Twain" was born in the little town of Hannibal, Mo, in November 30. 1885
 His father, John Marshall Clemens, came from an old Virginia family, and with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp ton, descendant of the early settlers of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy band of pioneers who pushed over the Alleghanies in the early part of the last century and settled along the banks of the Mississippi river
 In the uncouth environment of the then little frontier town of Hannibal the famous author spent his boyhood days. Here he fished, hunted and lounged along the river banks with his sturdy companions. living healthy outdoor existence, which undoubtedly accounted for his long life, in the face of his many aff1ictions
 He attended the little school, but not being of very studious disposi ton. he learned far more from con-

 At the age of twelve his meager school education was brought to a sudden close by the death of his fa- ther
 His older brother. Orion S. Clem- ems, was the proprietor of printing shop in the village, and young Sam Clemens began his journalistic career there as a printers devil" In the course of a few years he learned the trade as compositor. and in 1853 he left his native town and began wan dering existence He journeyed from place to place, working at his trade in New York and the principal cities of the middle west
 But while he gained a vast amount of experience during his travels, which proved of the greatest value in the preparation of some of his works in later years, this period was rather un profitable from a financial standpoint and he was finally compelled to return to his home along the banks of the great river. in rather straitened cir cumStanceS.

Then the last crushing blow came the day before Christmas, when his youngest daughter, Jean, was found dead in the bath tub at his Bedding home. The young woman had been victim of epileptic fits, and had been seized with one while in the bath tub. which re suited in her death

Good Roads CAMPAIGN.

The goods roads campaign party of
the Columbia Record were in Lexing-
ton last Saturday, but there we're not
very large crowd in attendance.
The meeting was presided over by
County Supervisor Langford, who in
troduced Mr.. G. Wardlaw Moorman,
former secretary of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce, who, after
stating the purpose of the campaign,
introduced Mr.. D. II. Winslow, of the
good roads department of the United
States department Of agriculture.
Mr. Winslow is ''onto his job'' alright
and for over an hour he held the un-
divided attention of his hearers. He
discussed the practical side of good
roads and the good results that follow.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Winslow's
address, county good roads organi-
zation was formed with W. W. Barre,
president; S. L. Dreher, vice-presi-
dent; and Karl T. Oswald, secretary.
The purpose of the organization is to
arouse sentiment for good roads
among the people everywhere. 1t is
likely that meeting will be called at
an early date, at which time per-
manent organization will be formed.
The meeting was a success from
every point of view, Mr.. Moorman ex-
pressing himself as being "weli salts
fed with the result attained'' inspite
of the smallness of the crowd.
