Idea Takes Root

 "Mr Wheeler then described what would be necessary to be done to complete the works. He then gave a long estimated tabulated cost. and likewise the revenue that would be derived from the population at that time. Space here will not permit the full statement. but a summary of same was as follows Total cost. in cluding some seven miles of piping of various sizes from four to twelve inch es. sixty hydrants. pumping station, water damages and land, and reservoir standpipe tank on Oak hill, Ss0,000 Estimated annual revenue, Sl l,500, with estimated expense. s3.500.

He said he would guarantee that his plans could be ear ried out at the figures he estimated. Also that outside capital could be got to carry out the project, if the town or individual citizens did not care to assume the responsibility but advised that they be built by the town rather than have to be bought at a large profit to the outside parties when their value had been fully demonstrated.
 "The first step necessary would be Go organize company, procure a charter. then the capital would be forthcoming Co construct the works.

BARTHELmESs. HEADING OWN COMPANY. SCORES IN
 "TOL'ABLE DAVID"

From Chinaman to Mexican Co New Englander and finally to the role of Virginian mountaineer, Is the devious path that has led Richard Bartheimess Co his first starring part, and each sue eeedinR transition has added another feather in the cap of the talented screen actor. l. Is in the last named part that Barthelmess presented his first star production sfofable David, - the First National Pictures produced by Inspiration Pictures. Inc. al the Victory Theatre. Monday and Tues day.
 .Tol'able David surpasses anything Barthelmess has done previously. even the oily Chinaman of Broken Bios. soms' The story carries two-hst- cd punch. and gets across on the quiet simplicity with which the characters are played.
 David kinamon lRichard Barthel- mess in the picturel comes of stock which is short on college education but long on family ties. When Da- vid's elder brother is crippled by the Hatburns. a father and two sons who have invaded the neighhorhood, and l David's father Is seized by fatal stroke, the honor of the family de- wolves upon young David. The young ster, although regarded as just "toi- able" by his mother, suddenly finds himself come into a mans estate.
 Yielding to his mothers fears for his safety. he foregoes the revenge on the Hatburns and k branded as COW ard by the village gossips.
 Dayid's ambition is to succeed his brother as driver and guardian of the government mail; but he is held too immature for the job Chance, in the form of an intoxicated driver, places the opportunity at his feet. On the first day he is victim of the Hat burns. one of whom steals the sack Of mail from the road.
 Unrelenting the boy follows bis trust and finds himself face to face with the three blaekest outlaws who ever fled from pursuing sheriff David keeps his trust and when the long afternoon is over he has avenged his family and wiped out forever the brand that the village had put upon him.
 Gladys Hulette. who will be remem- bered as the juvenile lead of many motion pictures. plays the part of Ds- vid's sweetheart with quiet appeal. Seldom has a more hang-dog set of villains been seen on the screen than the three Hatburns. played by Walter P. Lewis, Ernest Terrence and Ralph | Yearsley. The cast is further inter esting for it's inclusion of Laurence Eddinger, father of Wallace Eddin- ger, the well-known stage star.
 "Torable David" was adapted from the story by Joseph Hergesheim- CT. and was filmed in the heart of the | Virginia mountains. where the incl dents of the story are actually sup- posed to have taken place.-Adv.

Charter Is Procured

At the next Dec. IS meeting the form of charter for the construction of waterworks was read by the Hon. L. II. Fuller, after which free dis cussion took place regarding the diff ferent sections of the charter; but af- ter an hour and half of sharp eriti- cism. the charter was adopted and the executive committee instructed to choose six others to act with them and take such steps as might be deemed necessary to secure this charter at the next legislature The meeting then adjourned The complete list of in- corporators follows, the first five be- ing the executive committee of the association: L. II Fuller, Moses G. Leonard. Geo. E. Shaw. Edward Null Ian. c. \. Allen. James W. Manning. (. N. Fisher. Geo. A. Hammond, J. H. Gardiner, D. K 0lney, Wm. H.. Pearson.
 Due notice of the intention 10 ap- ply to the legislature for the charter as required by law was published Dec. 1g. 1884, and the application was pre- sented in due time by C. N. Allen. who was at that time Putnam's repre-. sentative.
 At this time the friends of the im- provement felt that they were reason ably sure of the installation of pub lie water supply, Little did they re- alize the amount of work still to be done, the fierce opposition to be over come when the matter of contracts for hydrants came before the town, or the somewhat unusual tactics to be em- ployed by the opposition in their eff forts Co defeat the measure. These facts must be left for another chapter, as this is already too lengthy. but has shown az briefly as possible the neces- sary steps taken up to that time.
