The land in question is the section that begins at the point where the trolley tracks swing on from the center of the street to the company's right Of way
 This Is the last of the holdings Of Adna Whiting. after whom the pres- ent Whiting street was named. and around whom a great deal Of the early history Of Plainville Is written. Tn the early days. Mir. Whiting owned the entire center Of Plainville and had holdings stretching the length Of Whiting street. At the time. there were very few settlers fin Plainville and Whiting was the general store keeper.
 The original decd for the tract of land which has been purchased by Mir. Conlon. states that Adna Whiting bought 1t from Willoughby J. Jef- ferds, then of Medina. N. r., in 1885. It has remained in the possession of Writings descendants ever since.
 At the death of Adna, the prop crty was given over to his daughter, Ferilla Whiting. and later was deed cd to Louis B. Wilson of Philadel- pha. his grandson.
 The tract will most probably be sold to several manufacturing con- cerns who have been making in- quiries about it, and the frontage on Whiting street will be sectioned off into building lots.

good as they did twenty years ago!
Why, there never was a time from the
instant upon which Adam and Eve
collaborated on the pristine kiss when
one didn't taste good. The silvery
stars sang for JOY In the silent
heavens until the golden moment
when the kiss was born. The rose
and the violet were noxious weeds
lemonade until the worlds first
lovers felt the soul stirring thrill of
that bubble Of bliss-the kiss.
Taste as good as they did twenty
years ago! oh, benighted brother,
they taste as good now as they did
when Mordecai kissed Esther: when
Leander kissed Nero; when Anthony
kissed Cleopatra; when Aucassln
kissed Nicolette; when Romeo kissed
Juliet-just as good, you s%our-souled
sinner, as they did on that night Of
nights a score of years g when you
and she were darlings OF the gods
and she held up to you those CULVER
ing rosebuds to- let you sip the honey
they contained.
Does a kiss taste as good! Does
it? You tellum!
A man feels better, looks better and
acts better when he is a progressive
citizen. A pessimist look like a frost
bitten potato patch

The Open Hand Of Welcome
At a recent meeting of the NJ. f..
Ladie Aid, one of the members adj
monished the others relative to the
welcoming II strangers or rathGrI
newcomers.
That's a very noble sentiment and
one that bears all the earmarks OF
a Christian, in that it is one of the
versions Of the Golden Rule, which
if followed, makes II live Il life that
needs no accounting at the pearly
gates of st. Peter.
In these days when the standard
by which one Is measured appears
to be wealth, there is too little Of the
welcome hat everyone seeks but few
receive.
A c%itizenry may boast of its town
having all the modern Improvements
but until it can as well boast of the
hand of welcome-it is sadly lacking.
1t makes no difference from whence
the newcomer halls. He in quest
of more fertile fields in which to earn
a living and make a home, and more
often than otherwise, fits into the reg
ular scheme of things. if accorded a
proper welcome.
Ii every person would personally
extend the open hand of welcome to
the newcomer, instead of holding aloOf
there would exist o of a brotherly
spirit and Christianity. Remember
always, there is so much good in the
worst of us, and so much bad in the
best of us, that it hardly behooves
any OF us to shun the rest of us.

her sister members enact the senti-
ment she expressed and make it uni

an accident on the grade which might
have proved much more serious than
1t did. When about a mile and a half
out he met a car coming from the
west. the lights of the car complete

all right, but while in the cloud OF
dust that followed the a and the
blinded condition of his eyes from
looking at the strong lights, he sud
denly saw a wagon ahead OF him
Quickly pulling out In trying to avoid
a crash the rear end of his car sort
of skidded around and struck the
wheel OF the kagon. In the crash the
running board. and two doors were
torn from the car and the side badly
married. Mr.. Burmeister was badly
shaken up and somewhat frightened
but otherwise escaped injury. The
ear wheel of the wagon was torn off
but no other damage as done.

the public should also be located
and designated by number, and at
the same time classified.
Ono classification of roads
showing whether they are main
Travelled roads or feeders, has
ever been made. Expenditures
from the general road and bridge
fund are limited to such county
roads, bridges and wharves which
are or will be main thoroughfares
or lines of travel for all the in
habitants Of the county, and the
purchase and operation of such
machinery, etc, as may be neccs-
sary. Road district funds may
only be expended on such roads,

ed within the district and which
shall be in the nature of branch
roads or feedrs to the main high
ways passing through the district,
and for the purchase and opera
ton of such machinery. etc, as
may be necessary
The whole matter grew out Of
Commissioner Paul's refusal to
sanction the purchase of an add
tional car for County Engineer
Beeman. Beeman Immediately
opened hostilities, the first gun
being fired at the Dockton shore
line road, which he succeeded in
eliminating. The next was the
charge that Commissioner Paul
was constructing a trestle near
Des Moines in an illegal manner.
Chairman Gaines Immediately call
ed for check by the state de-
partment on Commissioner Pauls
affairs, never dreaming that the
examiners would go into Mr.. Dob
sons accounts at the same time.
In the meantime Mr.. Gaines. as
chairman of the board has signed
all the warrants now declared to
have been used to pay for i'm
orovements declared by the ex-
aminers to have been irregularly
performed.
Not one friend of Mr.. Paul be-
lieves but what every penny ex-
pended in his district has been
used to the very best advantage.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the state examiners have ruled
as they have, the district has new
er before received so much work
For the amount of money expended
as it has during the past ten
months.
