CHIGIS BACK TO OLD HOME
Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Original Owners.

After 337 years the historic villa
Farnesina, on the banks of the Tiber,
a half-mile distant from st. Peters
church, will again be occupied by de-
scendants Of its original owners and
builders, the Princes of Chlgi, says a
Rome correspondent.
The head of the house, Prince Lu-
dovic Chigi, VINO last year was APP
pointed marshal of the Holy church
and the guard of the Conclave and,
therefore, rules the Vatican during the
interim between The death of a pope
and the election of a new one, recently
disposed of the Chigi palace to the
italian government 1t is stated that
by this sale he was put In position to
buy back the villa Farnesina, erected
in 1509-11 by the Papal banker, Agos-
tino Chigi, and notable because of Its
frescoes by Raphael.
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as 1t was when first occupied
by the Chigi family, an auction sale
having been held recently to rid the
palace of the furniture left there by
the king Of Naples.
The return Of the Chigis is consid-
cred remarkable since 1t is proverbial
In Rome that when once a family
leaves its home 1t leaves forever.

The little boy of the suburb who runs
errands for the neighbors when he gets
a penny for 1t stepped timidly up to the
counter of the hardware store.
II want a-uh, lock washer! You
know, one that goes on bolt to keep
the nut from slipping, and Is station
any,"
The hardware dealer pulled out lit
tie drawer and tossed out few metal
disks on the glass showcase. The boy
examined them. He found that they
were not only perforated in the center,
but that they were split, and the two
ends bent apart, much like the clincher
rim on an automobile tire.
He handed the washers back after
gravely examining them.

No Other Place Would Do.

A dentist, who had been made nerv-
GUS by frequent burglaries in his
vicinity, was somewhat startled recent
ly by having a man come regularly at
the same hour every evening and sit
on his doorstep. He finally suggested
that, If it would be all the same to
him, he would be pleased to have him
divide his attention and sit on some
neighbours doorstep for while.
But it wouldn't be the same"
shouted the visitor" nor anything like
it. You are dentist, and / have an
aching tooth that l haven't the cour-
age to have pulled out. come here
every afternoon trying to make up my
mind to have it out, and as soon as |
come In sight Of your house it stops
aching, but when | sit on your door
step, and the COMPOUNDED thing knows
1t can be pulled out If it gives me
trouble, l have some rest"

SAD DEATH IN CROSS HILL.
Mrs. Martha Tinsley Madden Died
Sunday Evening,

Cross Hill, Jan. 15.-Our town has
been brought to mourn the death of
another good lady the oldest and one
Of the best in Cross Hill. Mrs. Martha
Tinsley Madden who has been in fee
BILE and declining health for several
months passed quietly away Sunday
evening at 1880 o'clock in the S7th
year Of her age. Her husband died
during the war, more than so years
ago. She IS survived by her only two
children, Mr.. w. It. Madden, with
whom she has lived since the death
Of her husband, and Mrs w. VI. Miller.
Before marriage Mrs. Madden was
Miss Martha Tinsley OF the Holly
Grove section Of this county. She and
her son have made this place their
home for a number Of years, coming
here from Maddens. AS already stat
ed Mrs. Madden was one Of the best
Christian women it has been our
pleasure to know, having for many
years been a consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and leading
an exemplary life. The interment
will take place this afternoon at
Liberty Springs conducted by the
pastor, Rev. w. d. Ratchford. Every
body loved Aunt Martha, she was so
kind and gentle and good. No unkind
word was accustomed to fall from
her lips and, so far as human Judge
ment can discern, no evil thought
found it's lodging in her mind. Though
for several years unable to mingle in
the society of her friends, still her
death leaves a sad and vacant place
in our midst. But we are assured that
our loss Is her eternal gain.
