chief of the department and at present al
the head of the Hope Company. journey.
ed to Mount Holly Thursday night via
trolley for the purpose of presenting q
horn to Relief Engine Company No. 1.
The horn was presented to the county
seat compsnY by the Hope boys in token
of appreciation of the gallant and classy
appearance the Relief contingent put up
at the recent parade held during carnival
week. The Hope boys feel that the Re.
lief should have carried off the prize on
that occasion, and not the America from
across the river, who received the honors
Imagining blunder had been made the
Hope boys in order to placate the Relief
and at the same time get the burden Of
sorrow off their own conscience, decided
to present the county seat crack company
with the beautifully engraved horn,
which they did with a whole lot Of fuss
and feathers.
They were met at the fountain by a fife
and drum corps and after a parade about
town were escorted to the Relief head
quarters on Pine street, where in the
parlor of the company the presentation
took place. E. Allen Horn, the old
veteran, made the presentation speech
and Josiah W. Evan accepted the gift for
the Relief and made the return speech OF
thanks and appreciation.
Edward Dickerson, secretary of the
Hope, was called upon to speak and re-
sponded with a vim that almost took a
number of the county seaters and a lot of
the Hope boys of their feet. He had a
lot to say about the affairs of the depart
ment and told why the Hope had decided
to present the Relief boys with the beauti-
full horn.
Hamlet Ghaul was there in all his glory
and made an address. Philip Hutchins,
better known as ''Tammany," In being
called on to tell what he knew about the
affairs Of that great political Organization
after which he had has been nicknamed,
replied that he was under orders from
Charles Murphy to keep still tongue.
David Hunter, another member of the
Hope, recited funny stories which pleased
the crowd much.
The Hope boys voted the affair one of
the most enjoyable they have ever had
the pleasure of attending.
A collation. was served after the affair
in the parlor had ended and all the boys
partook heartily of the viands and good
things set before them.

Holding.

On Friday, at o'clock, In the tow
hall at Columbus, the voters of MANSFIELD
township will again be called upon to cas-
ballot for or against an appropriation
for the purpose of purchasing a site
and erecting thereon school house al
Columbus. Considerable interest is being
manifested in this election by the Hedding
people who feel that If the desires of the
board are granted it will be the jeopardiz
ing and to the detriment of our school. The
amount asked for-$25, 400-is certainly
In excess of that needed for the purpose
intended. and while we are willing to make
concessions to Columbus, we feel that we
cannot do it to the deterioration of oul
own neighborhood. An election was held
In September last with the same object In
view, when 269 votes were cast, %
against, and Al for the proposition. This
should be strikingly convincing to the
board that the people will not tolerate
such excessive expenditures. If the board
of education of Mansfield township has NO
Interior motive for Columbus and is will
| ing to concede to Hedding that share OF
the appropriation which should be expend-
ed for the advancement of the scholars
and the betterment of school conditions,
we say amen to this proposition. The
school house at this place is where our
fathers, grand fathers and great grand
fathers were educated, and is at the pres
ent time unfit and unsafe for school pur-
poses, to say nothing of its unsightly, un-
sanitary and antiquated appearance.
Should the votes at this meeting prove
favorable to the board the ultimatum for
Hedding would be the entire abandonment
of the school and the transportation of the
children to Columbus. This course has
been adopted in neighboring localities and
proved very unsatisfactory, hence the in
congruity of such procedure here. AS
the taxpayers and supporters of all civic
improvements in the township we feel that
we are entitled to our share of recognition
toward the aggrandisement of school con-
ditions now and to meet the growing de-
mand of the future. There is $500, 900
worth of taxable property in Mansfield
township and the school law allows the
voters to issue bonds for three per cent.

convince US that the board is asking in
excess of the limit. Columbus pays tax

$73; 10 shares, $72.5O; 80 shares, $72; 10

ding was quite spirited and another hun

and the bidding at 81 to $3.50 was by
the heirs who naturally did not want to
make each other pay too high price for
the stock.

MAKING GOOD ROADS By
BURNING UP POOR ONES
"Gumbo" Roads After Beina Fired
Make Excellent Thoroushfares.

Blazing a trail Of good roads through
the south is not a figure of speech, but
an actuality. for many miles of good
roads are being made by setting fire to
poor ones. the result being what is
known as a baked clay road.
There are no poorer roads in all the
United States than the "gumbo" roads
of the south. gumbo being the name
given a certain kind of mud or clay
that is particularly sticky, clings tena-
ciously, seems to have no bottom and
will not support any weight. Gumbo.
however, contains a large percentage
of organic matter which will burn
when dry, and as a result a road Of
this material properly prepared and set
on fire energies from the fiery ordeal
as a perfectly good road and one, more
over. that stays so for q considerable
period Of time.
The process of converting q gumbo
road into baked clay begins by blowing
up the roadway and making bitches on
the sides. Cordwood is laid in a sort
Of flooring across the burrows which
run crosswise of the road. Great Jumps
of sticky gumbo are spread over this
door, along with more wood loosely
strewn about. Then a second door Of
wood is laid and the whole covered
with gumbo, tamped and rounded of.
Fire is now set to the road, and the
flames rushing through the burrows.
which serve as flues, ignite the wood.
After the heat has driven the water
out Of the gumbo this. too, ignites, and
the actual cooking process is in full
swing.
1T is more than merely drying out
the gumbo," says G. 81. Claudy in Mo
tor. 1T is a popularity of this gumbo
that at low temperature it clinkers. and
these clinkers when broken up are
quite different from the original Jumps
of gumbo. The clinker Is not only
fairly hard, but If properly burned
will not make mud when mixed with
water. In this is the triumph Of the
burned clay road. When the fire has
burned itself out the roadmaker has
not only a thorough mixture Of dry
clay and wood ashes. but a good depth
Of gumbo clinker, which he promptly
proceeds to break into small pieces to
spread evenly and finally to roll and
compact into q real road"
To all intents and purposes the road
80 made is a 6ne dry stretch Of crum
bled brick.
