PAID BACK WITH INTEREST.

this week paid back the principal with 8 per
cent. interest to all those who contrib
uted cash to the fund for the purchase of a
small tract of land to be donated to the
Economic Power &. Products Co., of Phila-
delphia, as a site for their proposed paper
pulp factory near this city. The Company
bought the land outright, and may succeed
some time in the future in raising sufficient
funds with which to establish their paper
pulp industry in this city. They have acted
on the square with our people, to say the
least of it.

w. c.. o

William Cothran, son of James Zach.
aria and Elizabeth Young George, was
born at Cotesworth: in 1858, and fell or
sleep at Runnymede in 1916. Between
these dates lies the record of happy
childhood, sturdy boyhood, ambitious
youth.
Fitted for distinction at the bar ano
in the forum, but deprived thereof by
impaired hearing; and mature man
hood given without stint to worthy
work for mankind. Each child of this
devoted couple had marked individual.
itY, keen intellectually. and a noble
nature.
"Cot," as he was af~fectionately
called, had a genius for friendship, and
a passion for unselish service. 1t was
a delight for him to aid youth in its
teens, and to make merry the heart of
childhood. His last night on earth was
a striking Illustration of his lively in
terest in the young. He had a party of
school boys spending the night in his
hospitable home, and despite his own
extreme suffering. he was deeply
solicitous and manifested ~keenesticon-
Germ for the happiness of his guests.
Equally as much was it a JOY to cheer
the ~octogenarian in age and feebleness
extreme. He really reveled in using
his friends to bestow largess. stipulat-
ing that no mention be made of him to
the recipient of his bounty. This
noble man OVERLOOKED with good humor
and radiated ch%eerfulness, being genial.
generous, genuine.
Such choice characteristics were
amply attested by the great congrega-
ton which filled every inch of space in
the First Baptist church, Greenwood,
by the immense throng that attended
his interment, extending as it did from
the station in Carrollton to Evergreen
Cemetery where he was laid to rest in
Gods acre, Sunday, April ninth, 1916.
Literally loads of choice flowers,
expressing sincere devotion, made
beautiful the graceful mound which
covered his manly form. Worthy of
special mention is the fact that large
numbers of tenants came from Runny-
medesand C~otesworth to pay tribute of
respect and devotion to, not their mas
ter, but their friend. Some of them
had served for more than a generation.
AS this strong mar v quailed
before the mighty, SO be was not super
cilious toward the lowly.
Ahbou Ben Alden said, Write me
as one who loves his fellowmen" and
the record says, "Ahbou's name led

Of these my brethren, We have done it

That man may last, but W lives.
Who much receives yet nothing gives;

By generous deeds his radiant way,

PRODUCTIVE OF GOOD FARMS.

Good roads are productive of good
farms, and prosperous farmers are the foun-
dation and framework Of every commu-
nifty. Without good roads the farmer is re-
tarded and handicapped, his earning capac-
ity is reduced, his opportunity for improve
ment and expansion is lessened, his working
capital is impaired, his profits are elm
mated and his future is cloudy and obscure.
But good roads make good farms, and we
want every farm in Lehore county to be
even better than good. Build up the roads,
and the farms.
If you think this sentiment is correct,
The Commonwealth urges upon you the
necessity and the Importance of going to
the polls next Tuesday, April 18th, and cast
$500, 900 bond issue for the Improvement Of
her public highways.

early spring win yield results com
mensurate with the cost. We must
also learn that It requires as great, If
not greater, skill and experience to
maintain an earth road properly as to
maintain any of the high class pave
ments. The fundamental principles OF
earth road maintenance are few and
not difficult, but to carry out these
principles under the almost infinite
variations of conditions with which
che road man finds himself confronted
requires high degree of intelligence
skill and experience.
During the early part OF the season,
as long "a the weather Is very rainy or
there is melting snow IN the ground, II
viii pay To have the read man go over
the road daily to see that the drains
and side bitches do not become clog
ged and to note the need OF any neces-
sary repairs 4 few minutes work
with a shovel may prevent serious
washout or damage which, If not
promptly checked, might make the
road practically impossible.
The road drag or some other similar
device finds its greatest usefulness dur
ing this season. 1t may be used 10
good advantage to clear the roadway
of slush and melting snow and so pre-
vent this water from soaking into and
softening the subgrade. To I'll ruts,
smooth the surface and maintain the
crown of the road the drag Is unex-
celed when in the hands of skilled
operator An unskilled man may do
more harm than good. Furthermore,
the actual condition of the road during
this period will depend very largely
on the knowledge Of the road man as
to Just when TO drag as well as his
skill in the operation of the implement.

The Gar of pionysius.u

A cunningly constructed prison cav
ern, consisting of large chamber COR
nected with one of smaller dimensions
situated near Syracuse, Italy, has gone
into legendary history with the title
of the Ear of Dionysius."
The smaller chamber was unknown
to the prisoners kept in this under
ground dungeon, and the tyrant by
whose name it is known had habit
of secretlng himself there TO listen TO
the conversation of the convicts. who
were mostly political offenders.
An ingenious device constructed at
the smaller end OF the larger chamber
transmitted the sounds through the
partition, thus enabling the suspicious
ruler to hear even the whispered con.
yersatlonS of his suspects.
