The best way to clean a gas
mantle, is to remove the globe, get
salt shaker and shake all the salt
on it that it will hold, turn on the
gaslight, and let it burn until all
black is off, turn off the light, re-
place the globe and light in the
usual way, and you will find the
light restored to its former brilli-
ancy Try this if the mantle is
black and it burns poorly.

The cneck of $445.59 received
by the supervisors of Texas town
ship was not an appropriation to ap-
ply upon stone road but was the
money to apply under the recent act
of assembly for taxes collected in
cash. The appropriation of 100000
made by the state to pay so per cent.
of the amount of money collected
in cash was not sufficient and only
| 1 4
to Texas township on dirt roads.
The stone road completed in 1910
is entitled also to an appropriation
which will be received later.
