"OLD LIMBER",
CAMPAIGN DOG
White Lights of Tennessee Capital Have
No Attraction for Governors
Canine.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Feb. 10.-Old
Timber, the only dog whose yelp was
ever heard in a political campaign in
Tennessee. has not been tempted from
his familiar haunts in the Happy Val
ley vicinity by the bright lights Of the
capital at which his master. Gov. Aft
Taylor, is presiding.
Reports that the Democratic legisla-
ture contemplated making an appropria-
ton on the Mansion grounds for a house
for Old Timber. have led his master to
announce that he viii promptly veto
such a proposition, and this rumored ac-
tivity of political enemies is likely to
result in the governor keeping Old Linn
Der at home. .s.~s
Old Timber furnished much material
for Governor Taylor's speeches during
his campaign. The governor always
gave a graphic recital of Old Timber
proWess as a fox hunter.
"0ld Timber is being well cared for in
good home in East Tennessee and gets
three, square meals a day." is the last
word from the governor on the subject.
He would not be c0ntented in the city

growing more eloquent, ''you have never

Mel and John.

III. /. II. in Rutland Herald.)
. Mel z. Maurice of Brattleboro breezed
INTO our midst for the 1919 reunion and
dlffused an air of chastened splendor
over the occasion.
Mel and John Harvey have landed
S7quarely on their professional feet in
BrattleboTo and seem to have a head
lock on the extremely valuable law bus
mess established by the late Clarke c.
Fits and his associates.
The deaths of John Bacon and Her
man Eddy, followed by the retirement
.ot Harold +. Whitney, states attorney
ot Nlndham county, leave Mel and
John the high guns on the Job and the
lawyers claim that the business last
year earned around $4,000
Mel has some ideas about school law
and Is inclined to favor the Stearns bill,
but what he said at the reunion is en-
titled to a separate paragraph.
Among other things. Mel said:
Two years ago, one of our leading
measures was the bear bill This ses-
sion, Judging By the headlines i'm the
Rutland Herald, the big attraction Is
the running bull.
1.-TWO years ago, we had some friction
with the executive over appointments.
This year, Judging BY the atmosphere
about the corridors. the senate has been
attending q school of instruction to see
If the law of coordination is working in
good shape.
If the senate had been sent for two
years ago TO attend a school of instruc-
ton in its duties, some one would have
informed the executive that the govern
ment of the state is divided into three
separate and individual parts the ex-
eeutlVe. the Legislative and the ludIc-
iary, and / think under the same condi-
tions there would have been more than
one senator absent from the school Of
instruction"

Mr.. ". A. Summerill:
In your very interesting article of
last weeks issue in regard to the
landing of VIM. Penn, you print a
number of names of persons who
were then living in the colony who
were born in Sweden. Among them
appears the names of Peter Rambo,
ST., and Jr. With the help of a gene
alogist some years ago we obtained
some facts concerning this particular
family that might prove interesting
to persons of the name Of Denny.
The record furnished us by the gene
alogist reads as follows:
Peter Rambo, ST., Swede, from Got
tenburg, Sweden, Magistrate of the
Colony, 1867. Made member of the
Council by Gov. Lovelace, 1868. Made
Justice of the Peace, 1916.
This record was taken from Bucks
History, of Montgomery County, Pa,
pages 1925.
Peter Rambo, Jr., had a son Johan
Rambo and John Rambo had a daugh-
ter Elizabeth.
Of Elizabeth the record states:
Elizabeth Rambo and Thomas Denny
80
were married on January End, 1745.
Gideon Denny, son of Thomas
Denny and Elizabeth, his wife, was
a minute man in the war of the
American Revolution. A certified
COPY of the following record Is also
in our possession:
