Inviting Them Back to Vermont.

Concerning the old home week
celebrations which are being held in
it's state, The Monitor of Concord,
N. H., has the following to report as
to the value of the institution: "Old
home week has done New Hamp-
shire great deal of material good,
directly and Indirectly; but of much
more Importance has been it's men
tai, moral and spiritual influence in
awakening a pride in the past, an
ambition for the present and hope
for the future
Without doubt the holding of an
old home week celebration once a
year or once in two years does what
the contemporary credits it with. In
addition, there are other results
which might be noted, the chief of
which is the benefit to be found in
the clean, bright, inviting appear
ance of the town or village which
ties, which have energy enough to
hold celebrations of this sort, are
required to be. careful of their ap-
pearance lest the hoped for guests
fail to accept the invitation. Nothing
is more uninviting than slovenliness
in a community, while. on the other
hand, neat, aidy appearance of
the streets and lawns is a powerful
incentive to visitors. Hence, the
towns which are accustomed to hold
celebrations like those mentioned
above take particular pains to pres
ent a good appearance. This single
advantage alone is sufficient to make
us wish that Vermont towns would
take up with the suggestion of the
Concord contemporary. in the fol-
lowing:
cit is to be hoped that it will
continue it's strong hold upon the
sections of the state where now it's
observance is most general, and that
it will spread gradually until the
whole of New Hampshire comes un-
der it's standard.
This year more Vermont towns
ing, old home week celebrations or
celebrations of anniversaries of their
founding as towns, and, as a rule.
the efforts have been well received.
Chelsea is notable example of hav-
ing this enterprise hereabouts, as
the celebration last week showed. No
doubt Chelsea's reputation for hos
pitality is greatly enhanced through
occasional gatherings of old home
people, so that others besides former
residents of the community are be-
ing attracted to the pretty little vii
lage as place for spending quiet
summer vacation Vermont is eager
to secure summer visitors. By means
of the old home week idea we have
a means provided. The idea ought
to spread.-[The Barre Times.

time to business in which he
amassed a fortune.
Besides owning large cotton
plantations in Mississippi, Mr..
Bernheimer was engaged in the
banking business, being the presi-
dent of the Mississippi Southern
Bank of Port Gibson.
No suit has been started as yet
by Marcus Bernheimer to break the
will, but advices from Vicksburg,
Miss, state that he may sue. The
ground upon which he hopes to
have it set aside has not been made
known. Mr.. Bernheimer himself
says that he has no definite plans,
but is investigating.

BERNHEIMER WILL
To be Contested by Brother and
Other Relatives Of Deceased.

To be Contested by Brother and
Other Relatives of Deceased.
1t has been definitely determined
by Marcus Bernheimer of ST. Louis
and the Lowenstein heirs of Mobile
to contest the will of the late Jacob
Bernheimer. These relatives were
practically left out by the provis-
ions of the will, and 1t is their pur-
pose to break it If possible. J.
McC. Martin and R. B. Anderson
are the local attorneys who are en-
gagged with legal talent from other
places to conduct the contest. E.
S. & ]. T. Drake wrote the will
and will be retained for the de.
Tense.
The amount involved is not
known, but 1t will be hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
The St. Louis Republic of last
Saturday says:
Marcus Bernheimer, former
mayorality candidate. wholesale
grocer, miller aud former president
of the Merchants Exchange, is at
Port Gibson. Miss, investigating
the will of his brother, Jacob, who
Is known throughout the south as
the Cotton King of Mississippi.
"Valuable ST. Louis property,
including Meramec Highlands. is
left to Sidney Bernheimer of New
York and Mrs. Nicholas Scharf of
No. 5225 Lindell boulevard, this
city. By the provisions of the will,
Marcus Bernheimer is left only
$4,000.
"The estate includes the whole
sale store building at No. 7o4
North Second street, now occupied
by Nicholas Scharff & Sons, whole
sale grocers, and residence property
about this city.
Marcus Bernheimer formerly,
and at the time he made the race
for the democratic nomination for
mayor in 1895, was president of the
Scharf- -Bernheimer Grocer Compa-
ny, which occupied the same build
ing.
MRS. Scharf is sister of Jacob
and Marcus Bernheimer. She has
declined to make any statement
concerning the provisions of the
will or her brother S move to have
1t set aside and have the estate d.
vided equally among the two broth
ers and sister.
Business differences between
Marcus Bernheimer and the dead
brother are said to have been the
cause of the small bequest to the
former. Marcus Bernheimer wa:
practicable the sole owner OF the
tract known as Meramec Inn
which is on the banks of the Mer
amec river. The tract contains
about 500 acres of the most pic
turesque scenery in this vicinity.
1T was originally intended tina
Meramec Highlands should be I

the venture proved a failure, AM
never showed a good return on thl
investment. About FIVE years agl

l notice in your issue of the 7tt
inst. that the board of supervisor:
have notified the road contractors
that they must have the roads UP
to specifications by. the October
meeting of that body.
Now want to ask a few ques.
tions of anyone that may care to
answer them. What will the board
do if the roads are not up to speci-
fcations7 Hold up the payf Pos
sibly. Impose a hne7 No. The
specifications say that fine may be
imposed on,the contractor "....
They may assess such fine on the
contractor as in their judgment
may be justifabIe.
Have our roads been neglected.
Certainly. Why7 SO that the
contractor can attend TO his crops.
One of our supervisors once re-
piled, when complaint was made
to him, "that the roads were not
as good as they ought TO be, but
the contractor was very busy just
then in his crop" Has a contract
or ever been fined bg the board ?
/ never heard of it if so. When
they hold up the contractors pay
is that any punishment? No. The
contractor simply loses the use of
his money for 80 days and the pub
lie and taxpayers have to put up
with bad roads until just before
next meeting of the board, when
the roads are scratched a little and
the regular amount collected.
l would like to call the attention
first of the contractors, secondly OF
the supervisors, and thirdly of the
grand jury, to the following places
or sections of roads that are either
neglected, or have been lately
worked and left in very bad condi-
ton:
On the Hermanville road just
after crossing suspension bridge at
the forks. Road not rounded, poor
work.
All culverts on HermanviIle road
have been cleaned out and the dirt
piled on each edge, making q
double bump at each one. Is that
a smooth road7
Most of the hills on this road
left with fiat places like steps in
them, to become mud holes in the
winter.
Many bitches that had washed
across this road only partially filled
on the road from Romola Mile
school house to Grindstone Ford
bridge; it is very rough most o
the way and there are a number O
places that need small culvert:
that have none. Where the water
had been breaking across the roac
no effort has been made to stoI
same, and at one of the wors
places there is a culvert within 5c
feet.
RapiIjah Hill is not well WORKED
at all, and the long level road com
mencing near Miss Linda Watson
gin is about the worst of all. Th,
road here is very narrow and no
rounded but very little and full 0
bumps. This road under the spec
ihcations should be 20 feet wide
and there are few places where tw'
teams can pass.
Around Willows the roads ar
some better; but everywhere W
q
see a wilful violation of that par
of the specifications that says
g. Prevent the same water
from crossing the road, excep
. through culverts.
/ understand that the conEracto
has to put in all culverts under I
: fleet, the county furnishing lumbel
That is why there are 50 many
/, these culverts needed.

AT a time when the newspapers

mile school house fork on the H,r-

hoped that other roads in the coun.

That fork of the road by Buffers
to Humphreys steel bridge is one
ofthe very worst that has lately
been worked. Just beyond Hopes
gate is a place that needs better
workings as soon as a rain comes
the mud hole there will appear
again.
The last "A mile before reaching
the Humphreys bridge was skipped
and has not been worked in
months.
There are brush and limbs over
hanging many of the roads that
make horseback riding at night
dangerous. These should be cut
away.
Near Ben Humphreys the roads
seem neglected, except for occa-
sional blowing on the hills. The
two hills near Oak Lawn station
need grading and smoothing badly,
and one is very narrow and should
be widened.
A culvert is needed very badly
at the fork where the Ingleside
road leaves the Grand Gulf.
The Martin road is not what it
once was, nor what it should be.
There are many others, but
space forbids.
There are certain sections in the
Specifications that l wish to call
attention to.
WORK..-"ALL roads must be
worked THOROUGHLY and kept CON-
sTANTLY in GOOD condition. -. ;.
The ENTIRE surface of the road bed
for its full width is to be well
rounded, and left with a smooth,
even surface showing at the centre
of the road an elevation of 20 inch
es above the bottom of bitches"
Are our roads well rounded9 Is
the surface smooth and clear7 If
vou think so. get In a Jumper or
buggy and try the lane leading to
Grindstone Ford bridge.
WIDTH.-"The width of the
first class roads shall be maintained
20 feet on levels and between
banks not exceeding "a inches
high. -. Where the road is. less
than 10 feet the road is to be so
worked as to cause it to widen to
that width"
HILLS.-"The grades of all
hills, as selected by the supervisor
of the district in which the same
may be, shall be reduced at least
( per cent each year of the con-
tract" There are number OF
hills that should be graded, and !
am of the opinion that the super
visor is to blame in not having
designated any hills for grading.
Two years ago our roads were in
far better condition than now, dis
trict one being the only district
that shows conscientious and care
fuI working. And | believe the
contractor for that district gets less
pay per mile than any of them.
And besides has the best roads.
Why are not our roads as good
as two years ago7 Claiborne is
certainly paying out enough money
to have good roads, and it is about
time the taxpayers were stepping
in and seeing that they get value
received for this expenditure.
Poor and bad roads cost the
farmer millions Of dollars each

E Finances and Markets

New York. May 12.-The demand for stocks proved too small today to maintain prices at the level fixed by yesterdays rise and a mild reaction occurred. Today's losses were slight, however, as bearish traders were re- luctant to follow the market down ward. A significant development of the day was the ready sale of the 11.0OO00O three years five per cent notes of the Great Northern. The rapid sale of these notes was regard ed as an illustration of the large de- mand for short term securities. An other indication of the existence of a large investment demand is found in the sustained strength of the bond market
 Reports which concerned proposed large bond issues by several railroads were not confirmed officially but it is generally expected that several issues of new securities will be brought forth in the near future.
