Of George Kieman, who will be in Stafford Springs April 21, under the management of Current Events club, The College Club of Dartmouth col lege writes as follows: "It gives me great pleasure to write you of your success here. It is indeed a rare man, we find, who is able to hold the complete attention of the students for two solid hours. But your Iowa ble Rip, with his quaint toast of good fellowship, quite took the boys by storm. You have set for yourself probably the most difficult task in the whole dramatic world-that of repro ducing, not impersonating, the char acter, atmosphere, and lovableness of Jefferson's characters. You are the more to be congratulated therefore on your great success. We shall await your coming to us again with much interest. Sincerely yours, H. P. Wellman-The College Club''
 John Mccarthy, 72, died about 12 last night after a long illness of bladder trouble. His death removes an original character and a man of more than ordinary intelligence and ability. Of late years he has been successful book canvasser and has made a wide acquaintance through this line of work. MT. Mccarthy was born in County Cork, Ireland, in May, 184O, and came to Stafford in 1859. He was a veteran of the late civil war and saw considerable service both on land and sea. He en- listed in the navy June 25, 1863, at Boston, Mass. and was mustered into the service for one year. He was assigned to the gunboat Cambridge and sailed to the coast of North Caro- lima, joining the North Atlantic squadron of Fort Fisher. He re- mained on duty with the Cambridge blockading the port until the expira- tion of his term of service, when he was sent to Boston and honorably mustered out Aug. 13, 1864. He en- listed again in the government service at New York city Aug. 39, 1864, and was again mustered into the service for six months and was assigned to the quartermaster' department. He was sent to Nashville, Tenn, and participated in the defense of that city in the campaign that Gen. Hood conducted against it in the fall of 1864. After the defeat of Gen. Hood and the retreat of the confederates he remained on duty at Nashville un. til March, 1865, when he was again honorably mustered out The de- ceased leaves a widow, two sons, Dennis J., an attorney in Rockville, and Charles.

C0n1munifD Cooperation


A town, to be good" town, must have good stores-stores that handle large assortments and offer the same: values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere.
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community con- SumerS.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced to shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stores applies to the building and maintenance of your schools, churches, good roads, streets and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and social standpoint.

If you have children to edu- cate; if you are interested in re- ligious matters; if you own home or other property in your community, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practicable. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expec their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.

 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in every respect.

1 IlpCEST ASSESSMENT
 MADE IN THE STATE

r;ttle Rock, August 23-The Assessment of the property of .be American Aluminium Com ,nv in Saline County, at the rate of s47,OoO, O,o00, is attracting creat deal of attention. It IS the largestindividual assessment ever made in Arkansas, and there is much speculation as to whe' ther it will stand.
 It has been reported in Little Rock that County Judge Kelley and the Board of Equalization will not interfere with the assess ment made by the assessor. Last year it was assessed at about S3, ,O0O,000, and as that was resisted, there is no doubt the
 
 corporation will exhaust every resource to avoid the payment of taxes on an assess sment sixteen times higher.
 The assessment is based upon the calculations of the U. s. Geo. logical Survey of the value of the bauxite deposits on the lands owned by the company in Saline County. One authority has made the statement that the pro- perty is worth five billion dollars, but that is a theoretical valuation based upon an estimate of the de- posit which must be mined and markt ted before it can yield a return. Should such an assess menl as this stand, it would make Saline the wealthiest county in the state.
