La Toilette is TO CAMPAIGN fOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE THIS FALL

On the subject of woman suffrage,
Senator La Toilette declares him
self as ollows in the April Amer
can Magazine:
II cannot remember a tlms
when did not believe in woman
suffrage. The great economic and
in 'ustria' questions of to-day effect
women as directly as they do men.
And the interests of men and wom-
en- are not antagonistic one to the
other, but mutual and coordinate:
Co-suffrage, like co-education, will
react not to the special advantage
of either men or women, but will
result in more enlightened, bet
ter blanced citizenship, and in a
truer Democracy. [ am glad to
say that the Legislature of Wiscon-
sin nassed, at its last session,
suffrage law which will be submit
led on refendum next November
to the voters of the State. | shall
support it, and campaign for it. y

STOVES OF IRON.

They Superseded the Roman stuba In

A heating apparatus called "stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class of Romans before the be-
ginning Of the Christian era. This
class Of heaters was fixed and immova
BILE, besides being in several other re.
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
via they were used in bathrooms and
hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of brick,
stone or tile and were Of immense SIZE
They sometimes covered the whole
side of twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
as much as ten feet, in which case the
smooth. fiat top was used for a bed

agreeable feeling Of warmth during
those cold nights Of long ago when
such things rs covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignac Of France was per.
haps the first to attempt the construc.
ton Of a stove wholly Of iron, this at
about the beginning Of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman "stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745. One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner. almost perfect and

Big OUTLAY FER DIRT ROADS

The Recorder has frequently re-
ferred to the question of good
roads, or road improvement, as the
most important one of the day,
and to be convinced of it one h S
only to read the newspapers. + e
subject is live Cn', not al me IN
Virginia, but in other states where
modern methods have not been
adopted.
Our position for several years
has been that the mud road and
the present system of up-keep IS
wasreful and hopeless, and in this
belief we are more firmly establish
ed by the efforts being put firth in
so many states to bring about a
change in the road making and
woodworking system and the sub
stitution of permanent work for t. e
present-day, wasteful and unsatIs-
factory methods.
Through the courtesy and help
of the Clerk of the Board o. 5 'ptr-
visors we have been able to secure,
and present below, the amount eN-
pended annually, during a period OF
ten years, in the ur-keep OF
county roads in Highland as we'll as
the annual outlay for work on the
S. & P. turnpike, which is the high
way of chief Importance to the
county, since it is the county's out
let. Our purpose in presenting
these figures is not to arraign OF
critisize, those who have had the
management of the matter in h2n y;
because, in most instances they
have made an honest effort to get
best returns for the people, but in
thus showing the large amount of
money spent on mud roads during
given period, we get most i'm
pressive and convincing object les

IN MEMORIAN

Maude Forrest Williams was BON
Mar. II, 1890 and died at her home
Mar. IS. She was the daughter
of W. H. and Pricie Williams, and
is survived by her parents, five sis
ttrs and one brother.
Her funeral service conducted by
Rev. Starbuck was held from the
Mcdowell Presbyterian church, of
which she had been a member
eight years.
During the long months of her
illness, she bore the suffering and
pain with christian fortitude and
patience.
In her home life, she was ever a
true, thoughtful, and Toying daugh-
ter, and devoted sister. Of her
it can be truly said. none knew
her but to love her.
When a fair young life, such as
this, is taken from rs, it is such
sweet comfort to feel sure that our
Heavenly Father knows best.
Nevermore will her body be
racked with pain, she is safe "in
His presence with. whom there is
fullness of JOY evermore"
"Oh Lord, our great Creator, God!
Tremling we bow beneath Thy rod,
Which lays our loved ones meath
the sod.
Yet Lord, though trembling meath
the blow
We fain would ask, why it is SOP
Why should our hopes be thus laid
low?
All, yes. we writhe beneath the
stroke
And find this cross a heavy yoke
Yet thine assistance we invoke.
Be still and know that | am God
In love. | WELD my Christening roc
That laid your loved one meath the
sod.
Affection is my chosen way
To purify this earthly clay,
That it may shine in brighter day.
