What Archer AGhlenbcrger Thinks
OF uhienbergS' History.

Powderly. Ky, Sept. ., 1913.
MIR. Otto A. Rothcrt,
Louisville, Ky.
Mr.. Rothcrt:
| have just finished reading
your History of Muhlenporg
County" and / think it is one of
the most interesting books |
have ever read, not merely be-
cause it is the history of Muh-
lenberG county, but also be-
cause the style in which il is
written is such that it holds the
readers attention from begin
ming to end. Even the pre-
face was interesting to ne, for
1 had often wondered why YOU,
a stranger to the county, had
thought of writing its history.
The reader is not only carried
back to the pioneer days, and
sees the struggles and triumphs
of people determined to win.
but he is also brought down to
the years where he stands face
to face with his own day and
time.
From a literary standpoint it
is a splendid work. Even the
most minute detail shows care
ful thought; each sentence is
expressed in the best form to
convey the meaning intended.
and as a whole it is a master
piece in literature.
From an artistic standpoint
your history is superior to any
| have seen. The paper is of
such good quality that many of
the pictures show to better
advantage than the originals.
Then each picture is the right
one in the right place.
When | read of your intention
Of writing this history | little
thought that there was enough
material in Muhlenberg county
to make a book of so great
historic, literary and artistic
merit.
After reading it carefully,
even critically, my conclusion
is that you have given us a his
tory as nearly perfect in every
respect as was possible from
the available material. How
you ever succeeded in gathering
all these facts and traditions re-
garding the county and weav-
ing into such a fascinating story
is remarkable. / have never
heard Of any other county hav-
ing such a well prepared his
tory, and we are fortunate in
deed in having this one written
before so many of the past.
events were lost in oblivion.
1t is a splendid work to use in
school in connection with his
tory and geography for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in
general history by the study of
local history.
Every citizen of Muhlenberg
should have copy of your
book. Valuable as it is to us at
present, it will be even more
highly priced in the future.
Sincerely,
Annv M Topuact

far and wide that the watchful eye
Of the chief executive OF the United
States had spied blaze that threat
cned to destroy one Of the handsome
homes OF he Southern shore and that
he had acted the volunteer fire chief
in a manner that long will be remem-

created a stir in the otherwise quiet
life Of the gulf section.
The president was returning from a
quiet game Of golf towards noon and
on passing through Gulfport, eight
miles from here, saw a blaze on a
roof Of a big house. 1t was the home
of John j. H. Neville, who won fame
in 1891 by prosecuting John l.. Sulli-
van for prize fight at Rchburg,
Miss, with Jake Iiilrain
Mrs. Neville, who waa alone
in the building, had run to the win

when suddenly two machines stopped
and the president himself alightcd.
Quick as flash he darted UP the
front steps, followed by Dr.. Cary 7.
Grayson, U. S. NJ, the secret service
men and chauffeurs, who had un-
strapped the fire extinguishcrs from
their machines and awaited the pres

Don't be alarmed" said the presi-

will show them the way to the attic"
Mrs. Neville pointed the way up
stairs and Robin and Fredericks, the
chauffeurs, broke window and
climbed out on the roof, while James
Sloan and Jack Wheeler, the secret
service guards, tore away the shin
giles and helped fight the flames. Mrs.
Neville did not know how to treat her
unexpected but distinguished guest,
who urged her to keep calm as there
was no danger

the entire party left the house for
the automobiles. The chief Of the To-
cal fire department was just arriving
with his hook and ladder and other
apparatus.
"The fires over" announced the
president, and added, with a proud
smile, ''my men have just put it out"
Judge Neville and his son came
running up at that moment and a big
crowd collected. The judge was pro-
fuse in his thanks and spoke appre-
ciatively Of the presidents thoughtful
concern Of Mrs. Neville.
The president took no motor ride
in the afternoon, resting after his
exertions at golf. He enjoyed the
change inv the temperature and was
enthusiastic about the links which lie
along the shore of the gulf.
The president dictated a few letters
and read scores Of kilograms that
poured In today, as they have been
for the last few days, congratulating
him on the enactment Of the cur

afternoon and again spent the even
