SPENT 90 CENTS FOR 80.
Notary's Fee More Than Dividend From
Bankrupt Estate.

A dividend is not to be sneered at
even when the sum total of it is only
80 cents. 1t was because Of this fact
that four attorneys made application
before Judge Holdster of Cincinnati for
an order of the United States court de-
claring George M. Meyer entitled to be
paid 80 cents out of what is left of the
bankrupt estate Of G. ]. Vossler The
judicial order was duly given, Byrd
Dilley, court clerk, being directed to
hand over that amount
But in order to obtain the 80 cents
dividend the claimant had to spend 40
cents in paying notary public, who
prepared the affidavit that was re.

CLARKE TELLS OF YOUNG
STEERS EXPERIENCE WITH
TICKLE FANS.

Fred Clarke. manager of the
Pittsburgh Nationals, tells a sto-
ry of the time Bill Hastmer, the
first baseman, was handed his
release by the Louisville club.
Bill was very popular, and when
he was turned loose he conceiY-
ed the idea of strutting across
the lot with his baggage. Ac-
cordingly he took up his big
valise and walked from the field
in front of the crowd. The fans
cheered their departing favorite,
sang out goodbys, wished him
good luck and all that sort of
thing. Hastmer had made such
hit that he decided to repeat
the stunt the next day. This
time, however, he was accorded
one of the liveliest roastings
imaginable. He made it his fare
well appearance in earnest.

well sermon here Sunday and next

new field, where the reverend will
have a fine church and he and his
family very pleasant and commod-
ious parsonage. The church has a
large membership.
Rev. Watson has been in charge
of the local M. E. church the past
five years and his moving to a lar
ger and perhaps pleasanter field is
not unalloyed with regret that he
must say goodbye to so many
friends.

do, Ladysmith people nevertheless
are pleased to note the recognition

man of this city, departed Saturday
night for Milwaukee, to which city
his family preceded him a few days,
and where they have taken up resi-
dence. Mr. Miller will continue, in
the larger field, the work of bring
ing settlers to Rusk county, and, as
heretofore stated in this paper, his
interests here will be looked after
by the new firm of Miller & Wilson,

In Milwaukee, Mr.. Miller will also
have other business interests, as
manager of the North Side Lumber

The departure of Mr.. Miller and his
estimable family is a distinct loss
to Ladysmith. Mr. Miller is both en-
terprising and public-spirited and the
more of that kind of men a town
has the better. However, his many
friends here will wish him continued
success in his new field and when
he gets ready to come back we'll

From Historic Sparta

Many of our readers have been
thrilled with the stories of the he
roism of Leonidas and his Spartan
companions, who, six in number,
fought successfully an army of ma
ny thousands of Persians at mar
row mountain pass in Greece many
centuries ago. This story has been
told in every tongue and is a famil-
lar one in every land, in fact, the
word Spartan" has been accepted
as synonymous of heroic, as witness
a picture film recently shown in one
of the movies" here, entitled, "a
Spartan Mother" !.
Now Ladysmith has man who
was born and brought up at Sparta,
or to be exact about three miles
out of that historic Grecian city.
We refer to J. P. Drivas, proprietor
o. the Ladysmith Candy Kitchen,
whose boyhood was spent amid the
same mountains and near the pass
where the famous battle was fought.
A modern railway now runs
through this pass, at which stands
an imposing marble monument, com
memmorative of the famous event
which has made this vicinity the
mecca of tourists in that part OF
