Miller Stocks
Lawnnower And
Bicycle Parts

Although there are nearly SO. diff
ferent designs of lawn mowers and
about the same number Of types Of
bicycles in the Valley, Miller's shop
mt 21l South Commerce street in
Harrington endeavors to keep parts
ON hand for all makes.
Ii Is OF great importance, however,
II worn or broken parts to be re-
placed are brought to the shop,
Mr.. Miller said since this saves con-
siderable time to all concerned.
Mr.. Miller not only services lawn
mowers and bicycles sold by local
stores in the Valley, but also those
sold by mail order concerns.
Old machines are taken in trade
on new ones, : and Is a matter Of
fact a greater allowance is made on
trade-ins than when machines are
bought for cash.
The Harrington shop handles Swim
Custom Built Bicycles and Ollie e.
McGuire'S lawnmowerS. A feature
Of the lawnmower handled by Mr..
Miller is the thumbScrew adjust
ment which makes IL easier TO adj
just the blades to the job. The rigid
construction and the adjustment
feature take care Of uneven, rutty
lawns.
Anyone desiring to purchase a
lawnmower is invited TO consult Mr..
Miller because the type of yard,
grass and soil should be consider
ed when buying such a machine. He
advises that no mowers wider than
is inches should be purchased be-
cause larger machines used on tough
grass require too much effort TO
push them. AS a matter of fact, 20
inch machines r often motor dri-

IN EARLY life Mr.. Colclaizer was a
blacksmith, and probably had his
shop on the east side of Twenty first
street between H and I streets north
west, and, so far as the writer knows,
he might be the same one who, as an
ironworker, recalled making parts of
a machine for Robert Fulton.
The preliminary trial trips Of the
Clermont were made on Sunday, Au-
gust 9, 1907, a century and a quarter
ago, and though of an epoch-making
character, were not considered news
as we look upon that phase Of special
information nowadays, and, appar-
emily, the local press did not cover
it at all. The official trial took place
eight days later on Monday, August
II, the boat leaving the dock on the
North River near the States prison.
The vessel was $50 feet long, 13 feet
wide, and had a draught of feet,
and on the trip carried about 40
guests, said to have been almost
wholly relatives or intimate friends.

VERYBODY is talking about
- the Constitution of the United
States. 1t has been discussed
- more during the last few
weeks than ever before in its history.
But what do you know about its
origin?
1t is safe bet that not one person
in q thousand is aware that George
washington presided over the con-
vention which framed that famous
document.
Do you know how many men signed
the Constitution? Can you name five
of them, or even three? And do you
know that two years before Washing
ton tackled the Constitution he be-
came the father Of American trans
portation by organizing the James
River Co., the original predecessor
company of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway Of today? He was president
of that company at the same time he
was president of the constitutional
convention and President Of the
United States.
Throughout the Summer Of 1851
l48 years ago-Washington and the
delegates from the other States swell
tered in Independence Hall, Philadel-
phia, wrestling over the problem Of
framing our Constitution, which Is
now causing so much conversation.
Seventy-three delegates were Sc
lected by the various States to attend
the convention. Some of them, how
ever, failed to accept their appoint
ment or 20 near the convention. A
few Of the delegates became discon-
tented, paid their board bills and went
home In high dudgeon, loudly claim
ing the convention was exceeding its
powers. A few who participated In
the framing Of the instrument did not
happen to be present on the last day
Of the convention and thus lost the
opportunity to sign 1t.
The following 80 delegates actually
signed the Constitution, and their
names may be seen on the original
document, which, together with the
original Declaration Of Independence,

would be signed. Barlow set out for
wilma, but upon reaching this place
found the French Army in full re-
treat on that town from Moscow. Be-
coming involved in the memorable re-
treat, he was overcome by cold and
privation and died in Poland on De-

brought back to this country, although
his name appeared on the tomb which
stood until 1892 where is now the

No news has reached us as to the sort
of reception st. Thomas is preparing for
the new governor. ST. Thomians are
disappointed in not getting the Navy.
They will doubtlessly continue their
agitation to that end since the prospects
of the Navy's return to the islands is not
remote. President Roosevelt has lean
ing in that direction so have influential
members of the United States Senate.
This was brought out during the Senate
discussion on Mr.. Cramer's appointment
as governor of the Virgin Islands. At
that time it was said that it would be an
interim appointment until the Congress
can pass a new organic act and send a
naval officer as Governor and men to
carry on the work of sanitation and
health in the islands.
St. Thomas is about 100 per cent for
the Navy. st. Croix was equally opposed
to Naval rule until during the recenf
political upheaval when there developed
pronounced pro.naval sentiment.

anti.Navy position or will join St. Tho
