Three Gold Balls.

NHUCH speculation has been ven

mark that swings above every pawn
shop. The most popular mlsconcep-
tlon Is that the three gold balls stand
for the money loaned by the pawn.

The first pawnbroker In England
was an agent of the MedIcl family or
FLORENCE, and abs three balls which
he adopted aSois sign were the GOAT
Of arms of that famous line. For the
history of the adoption by the Medicis
Of this heraldry there is a fantastic
tale. II has been said that II was APP
propriated by an early Medici, one OF
Lhe Generals of Charlemagne, who
after staying IA certain terrible giant
took OFF as u souvenir his great club
which had nailed TO II three iron balls.
Enllghtening II true. IL is not true.
The fact Is that the original balls
of this device were blue and repre-
sented nothing more romantic than
the pills formerly administered by
the Medicis, who were physicians
before they were money-lenders The
blue balls were gilded only about
seventy years ago.

There is now talk of spending a lot 'of money on the road between Smith |ville and Cove. This is something that lis going to interest lot of people, as the M. E. church is going to build one sof the largest church schools at Smith sville that there is in the Southwest. This gcalls for new bridge across Big Fork and a good road from Smithville to Cove, as there will be lot of travel between the two towns We must have good roads and new bridge and it is ,up to Cove and SmithvilIe to see that they are built. The people for thirty or forty miles west of Cove naturally want to come to Cove to trade and it wont be long till Cove will have railroad
 stockyards that will accommodate the
 farmers and stockmen for miles around
 in shipping stock in and out of this
 place. Everybody who is interested in
 this good road to Smithville should get
 busy and help all that is possible We need it badly. Cove sends eight mails out over this road every day Uncle Sam wants better roads and the people ,of Smithville want to intersect the Jef- ferson Highway at Cove, so let us all
 get busy and build this road.
