DEATH OF MRS. AMANDA E.
SPITLER.

LIZA II VI M Nd AMANDA Es
SPITLER.
Mrs. Amanda E. Splitter
was born May 9Th, 184S, died
at her home near Little Greek
School House, March 10th,
1913, aged "a years, 10 months
and 2 days. Her funeral was
held at Little Creek School
House last Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock. Elder H. r.

tied her friends, Misses An
ME and Mary Windle, the first

Raymond Snarr and wife,
visited Harry Clover and
wife over Saturday and Sun
day.
Levi Gochenour and family,
John Smith and Joseph Goch-
enour spent the first of the
week with Rev. III. r. Mowery
and family.
A few of the patrons of the
Mt. Airy public school and
others attended the meeting
at Saumsville, Friday night,
March 18th inst, which was
held for the purpose of erect
ing a new school building in
that community. From the
ruling of those present at the
meeting it seems to be a one
sided affair as to the location
of building. When the mat
ter is presented to the trus-
tees and Superintendent for
location, &C., they should con-
slider the distance of the pat
rons that the scholars are to
be drawn from and locate the
building as near the central
point as possible and not sim
ply to accommodate a small
village of which they have a
falr sample at Maurertown.
When the location of said
building is put at a central
point, others will donate free
y for the erection of same.
These school buildings arel
lot supposed to be built for
me day or for one year, and !
We hope the school authorities /
will consider this matter care
ully and do the square thing.

aptured at New Market. oigti
ost FIVE or six cannon. Two of
hese were captured by the Con- {
ederates from the batteries near
he river, while another they
found afterward abandoned in a
pond. Won Kleiser lost two
guns. one of which, there is no
doubt, was taken by the cadets
when the Federal line gave way,
and they may have captured the |
other. But they did not capture
a battery" The author ex-
plains the confusion resulting
upon many directly opposed
statements as to the position oc-
cupied by the cadets during the
engagement by stating that the
cadets actually did occupy diff
ferent positions at different times.
Their gallantry under fire and
the almost parade order they
maintained during the exciting
fire of the battle, he character
ICES as magnificent" and states
that the turning point of the en-
gagement was due to the stubborn
resolution with which they held
their place and suffered no gap
to occur in the Confederate ranks.
Hts description of the charge of
the cadets in the midst of
thunderstorm is a brilliant and
WHY'D battle description and he
adds This charge OF the cadets
upon the Federal position at New
Market is one of the most re-
| markable episodes of the Civil
War, or indeed, of any war
thar these boys did is comparable
with that older troops have done
in some of the most famous bat
ties of the world
He speaks highly of the effec-
tive handling of TIE Confederate
artillery in this engagement and
contrasts the swift and success
full military strategy of Breckin-
ridge and Imboden with the dila-
tory movements of Sigel through
out his commanding in the Val
ley of Virginia. He observes
that Hunter, who succeeded
Sigel, was neither more competent
nor more successful.
The decisive factors in the
Confederate triumph of May Is,
the historians considers, were:
The storning of the Federal po-
sition On the right, the excellent
handling of the Confederate artil-
llery, the defeat of the Federal
cavalry and the desperate charges
made by the Confederate centre.

Pres. Ban johnson Goes East-WiIl
Complete Boston Deal.

SOiitHiSAC DOSlOIi OCdls
Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, has gone East; and
on this trip he will probably complete
the deal for the custer of McAleer,
McRoy and Stahl from the owner
ship of the Boston Red Sox.
Newspaper publicity, which Ban
feared might block the deal, seems
to have had no effect. 1t will go
through.
Joseph tannin, the. hotel owner,
who will take over the holdings of
the three goats, is said to be con-
nected with the Boston Nationals,
and this gives rise to the suspicion
that Owner Gaffney of the Braves
might be the power behind Lannin.
That would make fine little syn
dlcate baseball mess. If it was wrong
for syndicate to work in Philadel-
ph1a and Chicago, controlling two
National League teams, then surely
1t is wrong for syndicate to control
the two teams in one city.
Well-balanced teams fill the pock-
cts OF the magnates, but the fans
want 10 see the team in their city
a winner. They like a champion.
There is only one first place, and the
honor Of leading the second division
is not more inspiring than eighth
place.
Gaffney has so far proven himself a
square man in baseball, but. it might
be well to have rigid inquiry into
where Lannin's backing is coming
from.

But 5000 of them last paid paid
$1,000 to see Jess Willard and Carl
Morris Wrestle around Madison
Square Garden ring for 80 minutes. /
There was not a moment Of fight
ing in the entire ten rounds. Both
men swung their arms, pushed and
milled around, but there was little
damage. Morris forgot entirely that
he possessed hands, and butted with
the top of his head. This being the
hardest portion of his anatomy, he.
was using good judgment.

1t. is impossible to describe the
punkness of these two alleged fight
'ers. They will never make decent
second-raters, not to speak of cham
pions. Tom Sharkey or Gus Rubin
could have licked them both in the
same ring in one round.
Every time punch was landed the
crowd cheered at the novelty. No
one grew hoarse. The grotesque eff
forts of the two giants to act like
boxers resulted in loud mirth, and
they were jeered throughout the ten
rounds.

Paper Worth More

The editors of good news
papers are discovering that they
are getting too little for adver-
tising, iob-work and subscription
Some newspapers that charge a
dollar a year for subscription
ought to be ashamed to take the
money but there are some news
papers that are worth more. A
paper like the Courier is worth
$1.50 Of anybody's money. 1t
sold for $1.00 per year twenty
years ago when the cost OF get
ting out each paper was not
more than half, if half of the
present cost. Ham that cost 10
cents a pound 20 years ago costs

year two decades ago be worth
80 per cent more now.

Misplaced Sympathy

= y
No business is SO intimately
connected with the social and
business life of a community asI
the newspaper. This is true I'M
the cities as well as in the small
est town. The newspaper is the i
index of the town. A town may
always be judged by the appear
ance of its paper. If the paper
is slovenly, poorly printed, care
lessly edited, and lax in moral
tone, just so surely is the town
in the same condition. The town
is responsible for the kind and
quality and the value of its news
paper. 1t sometimes happens
that a town will not permit the
publication of a creditable paper.
There are several ways by which
this may happen. The most
common is to divide patronage
in such a way that a first class
paper cannot exist. A town can
kill a good paper by patronizing
a publication which is notoriously
of no value. Every dollar paid
to the worthless sheet weakens
the capacity of the publisher
who is trying to make a credit
able publication. Often tn e
money thrown away on worth
less papers, if spent with a legi-
innate publication would make
that publication profitable and
give it the power of great USE
fulness. There is no place for
sympathy in the financial end of
the newspaper. No community
should give advertising and pat
ronage to a paper just because
the paper needs the money. The
newspaper business should oc-
cupy a higher plane. The pub
Usher wants his business to be
as legitimate as a bank. He
doesn't want your money be
cause his is a Home Paper nor
your advertisement Just to
Help Out" If he can not give
you a dollars worth for every
dollar paid he is swindling you.
There are a great many papers
that could easily be convinced in
any court of taking money under
false pretenses. The fact that
. publish paper in my home
town is no reason for you to give
me money. | want your money
because | give you value receiv-
ed for every dollar and in no
other way. Therefore | repeat,
every community can have a
good paper if it wants it and is
responsible for worthless pub
lication of which it is perforce
ashamed. More often the COM
munity needs reforming much
worse than the papers. -Stur-
geon Leader.
