Some day the historian of future
generation who writes of the first
part of the twentieth century will
find data and material of eXtraor
binary value in what may be called
the literary remains of my Old-time
friend. Spencer w. Richardson, of
Boston,
| was chatting ono AFTERNOON with
A. A. Potter, formerly a prominent
banker of Boston, but now a citizen
of New York, and in the course of
the conversation it was incidentally
mentioned that Spencer Richardson,
for many years a prominent private
banker of Boston, had recently died.
Mr. Potter narrated to me some
features of the successful career of
Mr. Richardson as "a private banker
and then continued:
MIR. Richardson retired from active
business when he was about seventy
years of age He was a quantity in
teresting character. He was very
sagacious and he possessed an I'M
usual gift for accurate estimate of
the credit of those who sought to
market commercial paper. He was
very fond of making puns and his
associates endured this infection, al
though sometimes with slight
shudder. because in every other re-
spect Mr.. Richardson was a man OF
kindly disposition and companonable
nature,
After he was retired from active
business he began something new.
Some men retire to their libraries
when they have accumulated enough
for comfortable living. others travel,
or find mental recreation in amateur
farming, but Mr. Richardson retained
his office, but devoted himself to
plan which, so far as [ know, is
unique.

Gods mercy the tumults of this day,
May He who holds secure within His hands
The nations of the world stretch forth and stay
This bloody warfare of our Fatherlands.
Quench thou the flame that feeds upon the lust
Which love of power and brutal conquest brings
Through and bloodshed-humble in the dust
The hearts of rulers, Emperors and Kings,
That they may learn in this new day and hour
No strength of arms and nayies ever can
Prove love of country-but the greatest power
Of nations is the brotherhood of man.
So usher in the dawn thou King of kings,
Of that great day when shall cease and when
The battle cry of every nation rings
With song of peace earth, good will TO

word that in most cases means

their own resources, will bring about
a better understanding of the facts,

the following:
"After a thorough inspection of the

this county and Alexander county,
it has been decided that the bridge
must be repaired Immediately or a
new one constructed. The bridge
has been condemned and those pass
ing over it do so at the risk of their

that Pulaski County will be COM
PEELED to stand half the expenses,
which is no mo,e than right that
they should do so, as it is the only
