Home is the place of rest to
which the feet turn by instinct in
each interval of toll. Home is the
treasury where our most precious
things are garnered. Home is the
place where we guard the heir
looms of our sires and the cradles
of our little ones. Other abodes we
are plesed to visit in the way of an
excursion, but home, after all, is
the place to live, and home is the
place to die.-Bishop Lay.

In private note from Dover, Har-
ny L.Collins writes US as follows: Il
see by your paper that you seem to
be favorably impressed with Mr.
Coursey's idea of using the water
power of the mill in supplying the
town with water. / wish to give
you thought OF a Dover gentle
man who seems to have the good OF
Smyrna at heart. He says if you
were to do that where would the
power come from in case of a
drought, when they haven't got
water enough to run the mill. The
same thing was proposed to Dover
to buy the Shakespeare mill and
use it for the same purpose that
Mr. Coursey proposes, but Dover
saw the mistake and declined the
plan 1 don't think Smyrna could
do better than to follow Dover's ex-
ample and use the same system
now in use here, which gives salts
faction in every particular"
