other bills. In the event the legis-
lature should fail to pass either
one or both of the bills, or reduce
their effectiveness by amendments,
the Ohio State Automobile Associa-
ton will then carry them direct to
the people by referendum at the
election next November. To do this
it will be necessary to secure addi-
tional signatures equivalent to
three per cent Of the vote cast at
the last general election.
The fact that the circulation of
the petitions received such an en-
thusiastic reception throughout the
state in the brief time that was
available for the campaign is taken
to indicate the popularity Of the
two proposed laws. Out of the &c
counties, rs qualified with the re-
quired number of signatures to the
initiative petitions, many Of them
going greatly in excess of their
quota. Under the law it was neces-
sary for only 44 to qualify.

interesting Tortoises
The following item may be of in
terest to the older readers of the
Democrat, given to the correspond
ent by John Newton: Some time
during the month of August, 1880.
Emmett Newton who resides on
Bald Eagle creek, not far from
Pennsville, while hauling wood on
the farm. found two tortoises which
judging by the inscription found on
them must be pretty we'll advanced
in years, and bore the initials "R.
P, 1854" the other ~. H. NJ,
1870" The origin of these inscrip-
tions is largely a matter of supposi-
ton. The farm now owned by Mr.
Newton, was at that time owned by
Alfred Scott, and they were found
only a few rods apart, at only a
short distance from the farm then
owned by Gideon Newton, one of the
old pioneers and a large land own
that the "R. p" referred to was
Rufus Phillips, a Civil war veteran,
also son-in-law to Gideon, and
who resided on the Newton farm.
now owned by Mrs. Louisa Newton
Henery of Bald Eagle. Mr.. Phillips
later moved to Iowa, and is long
since deceased. The other initials
were probably those of John Henery
Newton who was then a young man,
a grandson of Gideon Newton, who
resided in the same community. He
now lives with his daughter Mrs.
Jesse Williams Mr. Newton now in
his S0th year, is the oldest son of
the late Walter Newton. He does
not remember this particular incl
dent, but he does remember that it
was a very common occurrence to be
hunting squirrels in these woods.
They were not limited as to number
in those days, and also a very COM
mon practice to carve their initials
on the outer shells Of their tortoise
friends, which they so often found
along the way.
Frances and Mary Lou Lindimore
of McConnelsville were over the

aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Monroe.
