What $ in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
AETHEA.

ALET1EA.
Alethea. though not in common
usage, is q most important name.
1t comes from the Greek Alethia,
which in turn was evolved from the
Greek "a" and the word meaning
ito hide" and thus may be trans
lated as truth" or sincerity"
The first appearance Of the name
Is recorded in lii1 when Aletha, OF
Padua, lived. 1t was Dona Maria
Aletea, a Spanish princess, for
whom Charles l OF England jour
neyed to Spain while he was Prince
OF Wales.
Alethea was the form which ap-
peared in the famous Saville family
and was given vogue through its
prominence. But perhaps the most
famous and memorable Alethea was
the lady to whom the captive
cavalier penned the much quoted
lines:
stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage"
To Alethea Is given the additional
interest of naming the youngest
bride known to English history: In
1859, at the age OF Q. Alethea
Branding was married to a man
named Henry Hitch. The name
proved very popular in England and
Ireland, where 1t is sometimes con-
tracted to Lefty.
Althea, meaning wholesome, has
no connection with Alethea. The
former seems to have belonged sole
ly to the unfortunate mother OF
Meleager.

|IRfTURN $1,000 BONUS
Spesder Machinery Co. Will Return
Money Donated for q Factory
Building in THIS City.

There was splendid attendance
ct the monthly meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce held At the
Monday evening, the Ladies Guild
serving dandy good six O'Clock
dinner, after which several hours
were spent by the members on bus
mess matters. Several new mem>
bers were admitted to membership
at this meeting.
There was a surprise in store for
raising the bonus Of $4,000 for a
building for the Speeder Machin-
cry Co., when president G.. T. Ronk,
of the Speeder company, announced
that the stockholders of the COM
pany, on account of the knocking
of a few persons in this city, had
decided decide Il they ~ would return danatad every
secure the factory building, and
would invest their own money en-
tirely in the business, which is pro-
crossing finely, although work has
been delayed on account of being
unable to secure machinery needed
for making the machines. One of
farm Of Manchester Bros, just south
of Leon, and five other machines
are in course of manufacture. The
return of the bonus will not mean
that the company will leave Leon,
for they intend to make this their
permanent home, and expect to en-
ploy a large number of men. 1t is
the best thing that ever came to
Leon, and the men who have put
their money into the business should
be commended, not knocked.
The matter of securing a new
site for the county home, was dis.
cussed, and the investigating COM
mittee filed report which has been
placed before the board of super
visors, and doubtless some action
will be taken on the matter. The
question of securing memorial
hospital for Decatur county, was al
so taken up, and plans are being
made to submit the matter to the
people, probably at the general
election next fall.

and Remains Until Jan. 3lst to
Assist Income Tax Payers.

Decatur county people who have
to make out income returns will be
nightly pleased to learn that a dep
uty income tax collector will be at
Leon on Thursday, Jan. 18th, and
remain here until Jan. 31st, to assist
persons in making out their income
tax reports. Last year no deputy
visited Decatur county until after
the time had expired for making re-
turns, and many people had a lot
of trouble in making their returns,
having depended on the dep

for services will be made by the
deputy collector, and they will make
no collection of taxes. You must re-
NIT your taxes by draft, personal
check, post office monev order or
ed out to every person who made a
return last year, and these forms
should be used. The collector urges
that all tax payers have complete
records of their income and expendi-
lures when they call on him, for he
will be pretty busy man during the
fifteen davs he will be in Decatur
county. The same collector will be
at Mt. Ayr from Feb. 1st to Feb:
14th, and at Osceola from March 1st
to March 18th.
