Morris tribune., 1911-08-04

of two elderly maiden aunts with
whom he lived and who had from his
childhood idolized him to such an ex-
tent that though he was eighteen years
old before the war closed they would
not consent to his joining the army
Nevertheless they were among those
who retained all the bitterness en-
gendered by the unfortunate struggle
and did all they could to keep it alive
in their nephew.
The presence of Colonel Meredith in
the town was especially obnoxious to
these ladies, and they found it i'm
possible to rest easy as long as he re-
mained there. They snapped at the
Confederate veterans contemptuously
for permitting one of the south's in
vaders to settle among them, but the
veterans were not disposed to inter
fere, Then the ladies called upon per-
sons of their acquaintance to ostraciZe
Colonel Meredith, but met with indif-
ferent success. Finally it occurred to
them that their nephew might accom-
plish through his newspaper what
they had failed to effect by other
means.
The nephew was one Of those young
men who find it easy to be smart. He
had always been considered such by
his aunties, who had no difficulty in
transmitting their opinion to the object
of their alteration. No suggestion was
needed to inspire Mr.. Morrill, with an
ifn9 Y11n Mt
Colonel Meredith in the community
that he would Of his own accord pack
up his belongings and return to the
north. He began a covert but annoy
ing fire upon the object OF his displeas-
ure, such as that officer had during
his term of army service often been
subjected to, though the missiles used
had been lead instead of type metal.
These articles were so worded that
though no direct reference was made
in them to Colonel Meredith every one
knew that they referred to him.
One branch Of the Meredith fam
lily had lived in the south, the colo
nels sister having married John Turn
lee Louisianian. Her husband had
fought for the southern side and had
fallen in one of the battles around
Richmond. After the war was con-
cluded the president Of the United
States had appointed the Confederate
soldiers son, Edward Turnlee, to a
cadetship at the United States Naval
academy. While Colonel Meredith
was beginning to suffer the annoying
articles in the Banner young Turnlee
was completing an education to fit
him for an officer in the service of
the United States.
Colonel Meredith, who had fought
both in open fields and behind breast
works, was not to be dislodged by in
nuendoes. He paid no attention to the
petty shots in the Banner. Indeed,
he was so advised by few of the citi-
zens with whom he was on good terms.
They demonstrated with the editor, but
the people were not yet united on the
treatment that should be given a
northern man, and Morrill, found those
to egg him on in his attacks upon the
colonel.
Finally an article appeared casting
a reflection on Colonel Merediths good
name. The object Of the attacks had
thus far listened to the suggestions Of
his friends as to what course to take
with regard to them, but now he de-

This lamp almost materialized the dream-but the filament was brittle and the cost was high.
 Both these obstacles are now cleared away. First, brilliant invention has resulted in the production of drawn wire stronger than steel. This wire is used to make the filaments in Edison Mazda lamps.
 The filament or burner in Edison Mazda lamps is so sturdy that hund- re.is of thousands are in use under se- were and trying conditions, even for lighting railway trains and automo- piles.
 Next, of prime importance, the full advantage of the General Electric Company's reduced cost of manufac- ture has been given to the public.
 And the present price of the per- fected Edison Mazda lamp is about one-half that of the first brittle tung- sten lamp.
 The Dream, Comes True
 So, with lower cost and a better lamp, Edson's dream of the Sun S only rival has come true. Tho waiting millions can be served now that cleo tric light costs so little and does so much.
 Now you can have electric light in your home, your office, your store, your factory at price you have been waiting for, if you use the latest in- vention- Edison Mazda Lamps, made only by the General Electric Company
The Prescott daily news., 1911-11-07

When Edison invented the electric incandescent lamp thousands journeyed to Menlo Park to see 'the light that burned without air. Edison put lit tie paper horseshoe flament, that he had carbonized, into a glass bulb and pumped out the air. Next he passed a current of electricity through this horseshoe.
 The Dream
 As it gleamed white hot, lighting up the darkened room. another light glowed in his face, for he saw the revolution that tiny bulb would bring about in the world sunless hours
 But the first lamps of l6-candlesspow CT used up 100 watts of electricity.
 Slowly, as improvements came, the amount of light was increased. Six years ago people thought the limit was reached, for the close of the first quarter-century of electric lighting was celebrated by the advent of the Edison Gem lamp. Using the same amount of electricity it gave more than twice the amount of light of that first wonderful lamp.
 The Revolution
 Suddenly another invention in cleo tric lamps revealed the dawn of a new era in electric lighting in the dreams of anyone-except Edison.
 This was the Tungsten filament lamp whlch-instead of the original 16 can dle power, or the fancied limit of iO candle power-gave actually 80 candles of light from the same 100 watts.

The fixed post plan. which IL being ex-
tended and modified. puts 40 policemen
on stationary duty at street .ntersec-
ions from II o'clock at night until I
o'clock In the morning. The men on the
fixed posts are relieved every hour BY
patrolmen who have been walking
through the streets. and 20 out to cover
beats. In the discretion OF precinct COM
manders the liked post tour OF duty may
be shortened 10 half an hour In inclem-
ent weather.
This innovation has aroused a storm
Of protest from policemen. They de-
nounce the practice Of compelling a man
TO stand within the limits OF four cross
walks on an exposed corner In the dead
OF night as inhuman.
Nevertheless. the Commissioners has
received u~nmlstakable evidence that the

IN 1863 there were G,GGi trials, and IN
1910 there were 6.I35.
