Hampton is Interested.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Hampton
has been reading about Webster City
and other towns that have adopted
the city manager plan, and she finds
much to commend in the innovation.
There seems no doubt that if the
right man is found the manager will
be able to effect considerable saving,
or what amounts to the same thing,
he will succeed in giving the tax
payers more in return for their
money than they have been getting
heretofore. 1t is after all simply a
business proposition, and the one
manager who understands his busi-
ness viii make success of an enter
prise, which is always jeopardized,
where there are a number ct heads,
all of whom have practically the
same authority. Hampton has not
as yet taken any definite steps in the
matter, but her citizens are discus
sing and studying the plan, and 1t is
deemed quite probable that In the
near future the voters Will be asked
to decide by ballot whether they de-
sire to retain the old plan or to try
the new. There is not necessarily
great dissatisfaction with the pres
ent city government. 1t may be said
that the people are simply thinking
Of substituting something better for
a good local government.

AN OLD FASHION !.
Ed POUND PARTY
Universalists Gather at Parsonage
for Housewarming and Pound
Party.

The members and friends of the
Universalist church gathered at the
Universalist parsonage on Boone
street Friday night for an old fash
toned housewarming and pound par
ty, and completely surprised the
pastor, Rev. H. L. Haywood. The
pastors wife had been taken into
the confidence of the party of
friends, who numbered about sixty,
and was therefore apprised of their
coming, but the pastor had received
no warning and the expression on
his countenance was entirely salts
factory to those who desired a COM
plete surprise.
Each member of the party brought
at least one pound of something in
the edible line, for the ministerial
larder and during the evening DR..
F. ]. Drake, with a few congratula-
tory remarks in behalf of the as
sembled friends, presented Rev. Hay
wood with pound Of silver dollars
as birthday remembrance-the ma
tai anniversary occurring next Mon
day. Rev. Haywood in response.
said that he had little to say, not
knowing which of his extemporan-
eous speeches to give, but his re-
marks were nevertheless full of ap-
probation and gratitude for the
thought which prompted the remem-
ORANGES.
The evening was spent informally
with visiting and the enjoyment OF
a general good time, and ice cream
and cake were served.
Friday night was the first time
pastor and congregation have enjoy
ed an evening together in the Uni
versalist parsonage, the pastor and
wife having but recently removed
into the same. The guests left af-
ter two hours Of social pleasure, ex-
pressing the hope that many more
occasions Of the kind might be en-
joyed under that roof, and that
many more happy anniversaries
might be the lot of Rev. Haywood.

GildlnQ.

The method of gliding picture frame or other similar surface, is as follows: The wood is first given coat of oil paint. and from four to ten coats of fine whiting mixed with fine glue are put on, eact in It's turn being smoothed with fine sandpaper This done, a coat of gold-size is given to those parts which are not to be furnished, but those which are, re- ceive only coating of clear animal- size. The gold leaf IS then laid on, and furnished where desired. ln- stead of real gold leaf, Dutch metal which is simply copper beaten like gold-leaf, is sometimes used, as is also the so-called gold paint, which is finely powdered brass or similar alloy mixed with size.
