HON. GRANVILLE JONES
The Humorist, Politician and Socioiogisi

Granville Jones was born in the
Arkansas mountains in 1861, though
lie insists that this event should not
be combined with the great Civil war
as the latter would probably have
occurred anyway. He has had a vari-
ed experience, as public speaker on
political, religious and sociological
questions. He began by discussing
the Louisiana Lottery question when
a mere youth and was one of the pion-
eer champions and debaters of the
local option question in the South

for did they not vote for the bill

course the Constitution says nc

measures passed while he was q

why a constitution any way? DONE

ART OF MAKING GLASS

The glass manufacturing industry
in North America had its beginning
160 Yeas ago tUday June 80, 1854.
in Brooklyn, when a Dutchman
named Bamber opened a small
factory. The first bottle blown by
Bamber, hearing name and date is
still in existence.
The manufacture of glass in a
small way had been attempted by
the Spaniards in South America
many years before. The art of
making glass was taught to the
ancient Egyptisns by Hermes, but
it is thought that glass was first
made in Syria. 1t was in use
among the Romans at the time of
Tiberius. 1t was MT until 1867,
however, that glass making was
commenced in England.
Several glassmakeFs were among
the settlers at jamestown. Va, but
they did not ply their trade. The
Brooklyn factory was not very sue
cessful. but in IT'S a number of
German glass makers came over
and founded Glassboro, N. j.. A
little later a successful factory was
established in Boston and before
the close of the century the indus
try had been launched in Pitts
burgh.
Plate glass was first made in
Pittsburgh in 1863. Pressed glass
is an American invention.

YOUNG HERO Saves HIS DOG

Through his heroism in rescuing
his dog from the furious onslaught
of a bulldog. little Jack Marker is
suffering from fully a dozen bites
on arm and legs, having to carry
his left arm in a sling.
Wednesday morning, while play
ing not far from his home, a bull
dog jumped on Jacks dog and pro-
ceeaed to chew him up. The boy
ran in to separate the fighters and
managed to get his dog free long
enough to pick him up in his arms.
The bulldog immediately trans
ferred his attentions to Jack and
bit him in arms and legs while
trying to get at the ether dog.
NeiRhbors who saw the boy's pre-
dicament finally succeeded in driv-
ing the bulldog off with shovels
and clubs, but not before the boy
was pretty well chewed up. He
wonld not let go of the dog, how
ever, showing true grit in defend
ing his pet.-Lovelock Review

THOSE "GOOD OLD TIMES"

We are always hearing about the
good old times" 1t is a case of
where distance lends enchant.
ment." Things look different when
gazed at through the big end Of the
telescope. The old home with the
old we'll, the chain, or the sweep,
as the ase may be, the elm tree
shading the roof of the farm house
the gate to the garden and the lane
leading to the farm yard all re-
main impressed upon the memory
as they seemed to US when we were
young. 1t is best that if we wish
to retain these pictures of the early
days and refrain from visiting the
old homestead, or ii We do, the
changes that have token place we
shall find to be very %psinful.
We can remember when flour was
$12 per barrel, when kerosene was
double what it is at present. Those
we're the good old days, too. In
the ffties kerosene, or coal oil, az
it was then known, retailed at 75
cents per gallon, and boots at var.
ious times through the Afties aud
sixties cost $12 per pair.
People can live today for ss little
as their grandparents did IL they
would be satisfied to live in the
same manner; be satisfied with the
modest habits and sober manners OF
those times. People are not will.

fathers did, hence they must expect
