Buried America.

The expedition of Edgar Hewett to
Guatemala in behalf of the Archaolog-
ical Institute reminds one of the archeo-
logical treasures stin awaiting the de-
termined investigator between the Rio
Grande and Panama. At the place
where Mr.. Hewett is excavating-60 miles
inland, in the valley of the Metagua-
are relics of the Maya civilization SIM
liar to those hidden away in the junglee
of Yucatan, and there are the same OBJ
stacies OF luxuriant tropic vegetation
and malignant tropic fever in the way
OF the research. MIR. Hewett thinks that
the very palace he is uncovering may
hold the key to the mystery of a dead
and buried civilization, and II Is part OF
his task to impart to those who work
with him the same inspiring expectation
The more we probe into the relics OF
the Aztecs In Mexico and the Incas In
Peru, the greater is our admiration OF
what the aboriginal American was. ant
what he accomplished. 1t becomes In
creasingly apparent that he had won his
upward way to a high degree OF civiliza-
ton He was in his best estate no rud'
and uncouth savage. for no mere bar
harlan out of sloth and savagery could
have evolved such notable architectural
monuments as are found today where the
jaguar watches and the fevers are bret
In the tropic morass. as though nature
herself Indignantly sought to repel thu

The Franklin Golden Wedding.

The exercises in connection with the
golden wedding of Col. and Mrs. A. B.
Franklin are worthy of little further
notice than was given last week owing
to the lack of time. A large number of
the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin
were present After an hour spent in
receiving and the serving of refresh
ments by the women, Col w. H. Miles,
who with Mrs. Miles, had the arrange
ments in charge, called the gathering
to order and. in a pleasing speech con-
graduated the couple on their success
full completion of the half century and
presented them an envelope containing
gold coin, the gift of Birchard post No
SO, G. A. r. He then called Rev. Jo-
seph Mexican to act as master of cere-
monies, who presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Franklin an envelope of money repre-
senting the gift of the community.
There were found in the hall three
people who were present at the we'd
ding so years ago. The first, P. H.
Rutter, made witty speech, describing
his feelings then and now and speaking
of his lifelong friendship for Col. and
Mrs Franklin. Then John H. Ware gave
"reminiscences of the event as a little
boy attending with his father his first
| wedding. Miss Susan Ross was the next
| speaker She spoke of the stirring days
| of 60 and her impressions of the we'd
ding and her high regard for her life
| long friends.
Homer ]. Heath, who now owns the
old Franklin homestead, sang an appro-
| pirate song. Miss Harriet Fletcher ex-
| tended her congratulations and expressed
her appreciation of the worthy and use
| full lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin. L.
| w. Bush as a comrade of the G. A. Il.
brought the congratulations of the out
| of-town members and DR.. F. L. Os-
| good spoke for the younger generation
| of the respect and admiration the young
| er people have for the colonel and his
good wife, Then came the reply of Col
Franklin. With much feeling he thank
ed the people for the honor shown Mrs
Franklin and himself, with characteris-
tic self possession he talked interest
ingly of his experiences of the past 81
years. The company refused to break
UP without hearing once more The
sword Of Bunker HILL" 1t was the con.
sensus of opinion that Col. Franklin
never sang 1t better. The whole com.
pany sang 'Tenting on the old CAM
ground" and God be with you till we
meet again."
