present law. the state will pay one
half of the cost of building such roads.
In view of the large appropriations
which have been made by the legisla-
ture to the agricultural school here, a
committee was appointed to draft suit
able resolutions.
The Woodmen order are planning
on holding class adoption day here
in Morris the first part of June, when
it is expected that thousands of visitors
will attend. The Union voted to
assist in making the gathering a
success and committee was appoint
ed to look after it.
So many interesting propositions
were thus started that it was decided
to hold another meeting in two weeks,
at which time several of the commit
tees will be ready to report.

Mission

The Mission in progress at the AS
sumption Church is being very we'll
attended. Father Godfrey is a very
able and eloquent. preacher. His SER
mons are practical, lucid in style. apt
in application. intensely earnest, and
delivered with power and effect.
The Mission gives evidence of be-
ing the beginning of a great religious
awakening of the parish. All those
who have had the privilege of attend
ing the Mission are enthusiastic in
their praises of the missionary and
feel themselves inspired with new
zeal and devotion in the service Of
God. 1t is hoped that there will be
not a member of the parish who will
not avail himself of this splendid OPP
portunity of making his peace with
God.
The parish is to be congratulated on
having in their midst such a Jealous,
devoted and eloquent priest as Father
Godfrey. And they are also to be
congratulated upon the zeal and devo-
tion manifested by their regular at
tendance at all the services.

J. c. Rockwell's Sunny South Co

After years of experience with all
the greatest colored shows of recent
times and years of endeavor as a man
ager of his own aggregation. J. G.
Rockwell has reached a secure place
in the recognition of the theatre going
public. Today it is a conceded and
undisputed fact that his Sunny South
company which is announced, to ap-
pear in the Morris Opera House Thurs
day evening, May 4th, is one of the
strongest, brightest. most complete
and capable colored organizations ever
sent on tour. Mr.. Rockwell does not
believe in putting the greater part of
his salary allotment into one of two
acts and allowing the balance of the
performance to suffer through the en-
ployment Of cheaper ones. which al
ways disgust the experienced patron,
but he has found that the expenditure
of money for the purpose of making
each act and detail complete pays twice
over in the box Office receipts. This
explains why the Sunny South always
gives unbounded satisfaction. The or
ganization is one of the largest of
its kind, being composed of twenty
i've colored people. each and every
one an expert in speciality work, who
do everything funny that darkies can

COMMITTEE WORK.
Committees Busy on Matters of
Interest.

The meeting of the Improvement
Union last Friday evening was we'll
attended and much interest in various
matters of public concern was mani
tested.
Paul Spooner, from the committee
appointed to report on plan for rails
ing the fund for the Agriculture
school Scholarship Prizes, reported in
favor of a popular subscription in
order that all might have an opportun-
ity to contribute to this fund. This
plan was adopted and Paul Spooner,
Chas. Lee and J. C. Morrison were
appointed a committee to raise the
fund. A statement from the commit
tee appears elsewhere in this issue.
The committee to investigate the
feasibility of procuring hospital for
Morris submitted an interesting report,
which was read by Geo. W. Beise,
and is elsewhere published. The re-
port was we'll received, and the COM
mittee was discharged with vote of
thanks.
The matter of a sidewalk to the
agricultural school and also to the
cemeteries was fully discussed and it
was finally decided to appoint two
committees one to investigate and re-
port, one on the agriculture school
sidewalk and the other on the cemetery
sidewalk. Both are badly needed.
A committee was appointed to as
sist the Civic League in making ar
rangements for Cleanup Day.
The poor showing made by Morris
in the last census and the proposition
of taking a new census was again
talked over and a committee appoint
ed to report on the advisibility of
taking new census.
~ Two state roads, one running across
the county from east to west and the
other north and south were proposed,
and a committee was appointed to
wait upon the county commissioners
and the city council to appropriate
funds for this purpose. Under the

Mr.. Vancourt Henniker was not
greatly surprised when Tom Gordon
asked for private interview on the
morning following the final closing
down of all the industries at Gordonia.
Without being in Gordon's conf
dence, or in that of American Aque-
duct, the banker had been shrewdly
putting two and two together and ap-
plying the result as healing plaster
to the stock he had taken as security
for the final loan to Colonel Dubbury.
L thought, perhaps, you might wish
to buy this stock, Mr.. Gordon" he said,
when Tom had stated his business. ''Of
course, 1t can be arranged, with Mr..
Farley's consent to our anticipating the
maturity of his notes. But with a

But the president was already press
Ing the button of the electric bell that

time like the present when the fate of
q considerable bank asset hung on the
notion Of a smiling young man whose
mind might change in the winkinR of
an eye.
With the Farley stock in his pocket
Tom took q room at the Marlboro and

was to Major Dabney, redeeming his

Digging Out
a Bride
By LAWRENCE A. CLAY

There was a good foot or more OF
snow on the ground and in the mead
ow stretching back from the Thorn
ton manor house to the hills it lay as
white as the whitest wool, and not
even a rabbit had left track thereon.
1t was a mild midwinter day, and
the snow had grown soft under the
combined influence of southerly
wind and a warm sun. 1t might have
occurred to stout boy to wade across
that meadow and toll up those hills
to find a place to slide down on his
sled; but 1t would hardly be expected
OF Miss Carrie Thornton to do It. 1t
meant wet feet and fatigue. She looked
from a rear window of the house and
father was away in the city on busi-
ness, her mother lying down with neu-
ralgia and the cook busy with her du-
ties there was no one to protest.
That's what a manor house is for
to have a lot of snow around 1t In
winter, instead of its being carted
away with the ashes and garbage to
the dumps. That's what snow is for
for young girls who are tired of books
of romance and caramels to get out
and wade in. If nature didn't make
hills to slide down in winter what
other object could she possibly have
had? Miss Carrie was doing just the
right thing when she started out with
her little sisters hand sled and went
into the snow up to her knees the very
first thing.
Two miles away, at the Victor ma
nor house, Hugh Victor looked out on
that same snow. There were no hills
to look at and there wasn't a sled
around the house, but what grand
snow for tracking the beast to his
lair The beast might be fox, coon or
hare, but he would have to leave a

trail as he wandered. AS the young
man was on visit to his aunt, no one
thought Of protesting. Therefore, with
gun on shoulder and the lust Of slaugh-
ter In his heart, he went ambling
across the snowy waste.
Scientists will say that there is a
something about winter and snow that
draws two travellers insensibly to-
gether. One may be toting a gun and
the other dragging a sled-one may
be young man and the other a young
woman-but the rule holds good. Both
travellers had started for the same
hills Both were drawing nearer and
nearer each other as they splashed
along. When half mile apart thew
saw each other, but the sun shining
on snow produces sort of blindness
i wonder what that old codger ia
doing around here with an ak ON his
shoulder" said Miss Carrie to herself
as she stopped to look.
rs that some poor old woman 90
Ing to the hills for fuel to keen from
freezing?" asked young Mr.. Victor NJ
himself as he also stopped to look
And then he turned his attention n
tracks In the snow, and the girl
pressed on to the hills.
Presently the hunter struck tho
trail of an animal making for a rocky
knoll. Presently Miss Carrie had
reached the foot Of the ridge and was
looking for the best place for a Glide
She hadn't taken second look at the
old man with an ak on his shoulder
and the young man following the fero.
cious trail of a rabbit hadn't given q
second thought to the poor old woman

den! There was the scream of a
girl-a rush of snow-a cloud-l,Le
steam rising in the air, and then
muffied cries for help. Mr.. Victor
rushed forward. The movement of the
sled had started a snow slide. II
wasn't such large and liberal slide
as they have in the western noun.
