The annual County Fan of the
V. |. A., which occupied the attention
of the town on Friday and Saturday
was possibly the most successful ever
given by this organization, this in
face of the fact that the weather was
cool-disagreeably cool and breezy.
The receipts from the fair and its
AUXILIARY entertainments including
that of Thursday night was $40,
from which amount certain expenses
must be paid.
The real festival opened on Thurs
day night in the new theater with the
presentation of "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" presented by local
talent under direction Of Mr.. George
w. Seaton. The attendance was
large and without exception nothing
but high compliment has been paid
to members of the caste for the real
" excellent rendering of their respec-
tive parts. 1t was not the pleasure
of this paper to be represented in the
audience. but from what has been
heard, Mr.. Seaton need never hesitate
to bring out any dramatic work, how
ever difficult, with caste made up
of the young people of this place.
The fair proper opened on Friday
noon in the V. I. A. hall which was
beautifully decorated and fitted out
with booths, etc.

Alice Pierpont, youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. L. Chamberlin
Idied at II o'clock Sunday, Feb. 9th
of acute Indigestion, complicated with
diabetes. Although long in delicate
health, she was able to be about and
on the evening before her death haC
attended the festivities at V. I. A.
hall. She was taken ill in the night
and although every thing was done
that medical skill could suggest, she
grew rapidly worse until relieved by
death. She retained consciousness
until the mid-afternoon of Sunday.
From then on she was unconscious.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, and was con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev r. Shull
Burris. The public school was su5
pended for the morning in order that
her schoolmates might attend. II
church was crowded. The interment
was in Eden cemetery. There we're
very many beautiful floral tributes.
Alice Chamberlin was a particu-
larly sweet child and was loved by
her playmates and all the people of
the place, particularly by all who had
known her from babyhood and had
watched her development. She had
long been aware of her rail condi-
ton, and yet in spite of the lnowl-
edge that her affliction was fatal,
she bore herself serenely, bravelv
and as only one could who had been
fortified by a serene faith in tho re-
ligion of Jesus Christ. Alice Cham.
berlin was a Christian girl.
She was born in Crescent CITY
March 18th, 1908, and was therefore
lacking only a few days of being IS
years of age. It is more than a year
since she suffered her first attack,
and since she was made aware Of her
frailty and impending death. In the
face of this knowledge she bore her
self with a sublime bravery such as
has only found its counterpart in th2
lives Of our greatest Christian sold
iers and martyrs.
The people Of Crescent City have
been touched to the quick of their
natures by the death Of |
this little girl. This sympathy goes
cut to the bereaved father and moth |
Err and the brothers and sister. 1t |
may not all be spoken sympathy, buH |
it is here just the same-deeD. loving |
sympathy such as only wells from |
he human heart when it sees. but is
3oworless to comfort the anguish of |
nei0hbOr.

Antiquity of Shorthand,

Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman-Byrom in the
eighteenth century, Mason in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which it seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
his freedman, Z. Tullius Trio, and
was inconsolable when temporarily de-
prived of his services. He complained
in a letter to a friend that. while "Tiro
takes down whole phrases in a few
signs, Spintharus (his provisional sub
stitute) only writes in syllables." We
need not, however, suppose that the
''notae Tironianae" were actually in
vented by the freedman in question
AS NJ Guenin points out, the Romans
created very few of the arts of peace,
cOntenting themselves, as a rule, by
copying from the Greeks. NJ. Guenin,
however, indicates the banks of the
Nile as the cradle of the art.

Blunderbuss.

In using the word "blunderbuss" we
unconSciously imply a sense of dispar,
agement for the shooting powers of
our fOrefathers contrasted with the
precision of the modern rifle. The
word itself has. however, a terrible
enough meaning and disdains all con
necton with "blundcr.' "Blunder-
buSs," in fact. rs we have it, is Il
strange cOrruption-perhaps not alto
gethcr untinged with the sense and
sound Of "blunder"-of the old Dutch
word "dOnderbusS," which can be lit
orally translated into the English
thunder box" or thunder barrel"

blows were struck, but the debating
was sharp enough.
stBy Friday night we were dead
Iocked-eight to acquit and four to
convict. Foreman Hirschman led the
debating at first. then he got tired out
and after the deadlock got well start
ed the arguing settled down tos two or
three of u.s. Some of the men got SO
worn out that they were physically
Unfit to take part. especially one. 9th
ers would do nothing but .sulk. You
couldn't make them talk.
1--WE tried to follow the judges in
structions to decide first whether a
conspiracy such as the government
charged actually existed. 1t was about
this that most of the debating took
place Little attention was paid to
Individual transactions of the direct
crate.
''Those taken separately which re-
ceived the most serious consideration
were the Joy line deal, the acquisition
of the Boston and Maine, and tr1-
partite agreement. Little attention
was paid to the Billiard transaction
because the jurors felt that had been
largely ruled out by the judge. Nor
was much paid to the Metropolitan
Steamship deal, for we considered
that was a, question Of whether it was
a private transaction of Robbins, or a
joint one with the New Haven direc-
torate.
1--WE fought mainly over the one is
sue-whether the government had or
had not proved the existence of the
conspiracy alleged. But when Judge
Hunt explained that we could bring
in a split verdict we voted unanimous
ly to acquit the six we acquitted.
There was little discussion further
about the guilt or innocence of the
others, but we four believed them
guilty as charged, and we stuck to it,
so we agreed to disagree. The others
wouldn't give in to use and we could
not conscientiously vote to acQuit.''
The length Of time this jury re-
manned out does not establish a record
for this district, according to District
Attorney General Swacker, who re-
called that the jury in the Julian Haw-
throne case remained cut three days
and in the Morse case two and half
days.
