BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT. j. w
WILLIAMS MAKES FINAL.
PROOF.

Mr.. ]. w. Williams was down from
Dearfield to make his final proof on
his homestead, S. w. n Sec. 81, T. 4
N. 81 w. P. NJ. Mr.. Williams Is the
second one to prove up. One other
has given notice for proof and five
others are eligible to prove up. Mr.
Williams has been offered $4,000 for
his homestead and says IL it is worth
that much to the man who has never
lived on the place it is worth $4,000
to him as a home. He was one of the
first settlers in Dearfleld and went
through hardships and made sacrifices
that no other settler will have to un
dergo, as conditions are growing bet
ter each day for the people In Dear
field Now that we have a town at
our door, it will not be long before a
homestead in Dearfield will be as
comfortable and convenient and ac
cessible as one within five miles OF
Ccnver. 1t is hoped that all settlers
will make good and secure their
homesteads by rigidly following the
law and doing just what the law says
in making their homesteads their per
manent homes. Dearfield has some
five and ten-acre tracts which can
and will produce as much as $4,000
the amount offered Mr.. Williams for
his home with such large lake upon
| it. We cannot afford for any Dear
| field settler to fail or lose his home
stead" or land. by or through care
lessness, ignorance or shiftlessness.
We are again warning them to stay
on their lands the required time be-
cause the government has its spot
tiers out and the inspectors who check
up the little local land men. Don't
be weighed in the balance end found
wanting" by attempting to dodge,
cheat or defraud or get by" because
the government will catch you.

@F all the stories told of Ulysses
s. Grant one OF the most re-
t0 markable is that related by
Justice Wendell p. STAFFORD OF
the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia.
Justice Stafford said that shortly
after Lincoln's assassination Johnson
told Grant he intended to execute all
Confederate officers and officials and
that Grant turned him from this
course by threatening to seize Wash
InRton, with his victorious army and
proclaim martial law.
mot long after the death Of Lincoln
Johnson summoned Grant to the White
House," said the Justice. when they
were alone he said. 4 intend to fix 1t
forever in the minds of the American
people that secession is crime
Grant was silent. I intend to have
all Confederate officers and officials
put to a public death Grant did not
speak. When johnson had finished
his harangue. which continued for n
quarter of an hour. Grant rose In ST.
lence to take his leave. What do you
mean to do?' said johnson.
."Then the quiet man made answer:
4 am going back to the camp. shall
move my army upon Washington.
shall proclaim martial law and take
command. My reason for SO doing IL
this: l received the surrender of Gen
sral Lee. which ended the war. That
surrender put in my hands the life
and safety Of every officer and official
on the Confederate side, and | bold
myself In duty and honor bound to see
that they are protected according to
the rules Of war and common right.
You can communicate with me ut my
headquarters
'tGrant returned to his camp. issued
the necessary orders and waited for
the proclamation. He received word
that Johnson had changed bis mind.
A victorious general refusing to re
linquish his command and calling his
devoted legions to lift him to a throne

history. But when before did a tri-

power Into his own hands for the sole

NEWTON, Dec. 9.-Positively. the
most disastrous storm that ever
visited Sussex county abated early
today, after doing thousands of dol
lars worth of damage. During the
course of the storm rain, sleet and
snow fell. The storm began with
rain accompanied by a high wind
The rain froze to a half-inch thick
ness on the trees and telephone poles
and wires, causing them to snap.
The damage to fruit and shade trees
all over the county will run into
thousands of dollars. The telephone
and telegraph companies are great
sufferers and miles of wire and a
great number of poles are on the
ground. Telephone and telegraph
communications are broken all over
the county and it will take days and
perhaps weeks to make the repairs.
The apple orchard of Robert Kin
ney was nearly destroyed. Like in
stances are reported from all parts Of
the county Trees and limbs from the.
ice-laden trees fell all night Mon
day. The scene presented yesterday
the greatest amount of damage to
trees was on Halstead, Trinity AMI
Clinton streets, where the roadway
was choked with debris. All over
town the lines of the electric light
and telephone companies were great
masses of tangled wires The ice on
the wires did not fall off readily and
to save some of the poles the tele-
phone company cut the wires to let
up on the strain.
DIR. James ". Miller. of the local
telephone company, said yesterday
that the damage done to his lines was
twice as great as in the March biz
zard, when he expended about $1,000
to make repairs. maple tree fell
against the house on 219 Spring
street during the night and smashed
in the windows of a bedroom on the
second floor frightening the occu
pants.
