Tine question of permaneutly
improving the highways of this
state is receiving greater att=ntion
now than ever before. The meth
od in vozue thiouzhout the state of
patching uproads year after year
is'wery unsatisfactory. A system
of road improvements, combining
economy with substantial results,
will not ouly ezhance the value of
farminz proverty, bat will alsy

eral prospunty of the common
w.alth.

T census 071890 is to be
made as zlose, searching and inti
mate as pessible, and among other
items never Dbefore embraced in

statements of the recerded indebt

to present statistics showing the
extent of this private indebtedness
of record and form in which 4t ex
ists—namely, whether in estate or
mortgages, debts otherwise-securs
ed, or in general indebtedness
through notes anl bills payable.
Another Iniustry Suggested.
A prominent citizen was heard
[ tl() make this remark the other
day:
“Tre merchants of Dawson
| handle several car loads of flour ev
| ery month,cvery qound of which is
shipped here. It looks like it
would pay business men and farm
ers to form a joint stock company
and ercct a flour mill, and save the
expense of paying the freight,
which amounts toa large sum
during the year. B would not
only be a biz savinz, but it would
draw trade from 21l directions and
give a growth to our town that few
other things would.” ,‘
l Hinder Him Not,
{ There iselways certain times of
| the year that about town times
seem awful dull and the people ot
the town are sorely distressed at
the loneliness ot their habitation,
when really it is the most progper
ous time Oue of these busy times

‘ THE PEN DROPPED.
A
A Celay ef Frfteen Seconds Preventsd a
Great CGift,
A client of a_well known lawyer
of this city went into the latter’s
office a few days ago to sign sume
important papers. After they had
been read to fi?m and approved, a
zslerk in the office in handing the
client a pen to affix his signature,
dropped it on the floor. The Jaws
yer himself sprang from the chair
with an exclamation of alarm, and
hurniedly picked up the pen and
plac#®it in bis clieat’s hands. ‘
- “J'he dropping of a pen about to
‘beused for such a pu rfiore as this,”
said the lawyer after the paper had
been sivned, ‘“‘always makes wme
feel mervous and uncomfortable,
tor a ease where adelay of not more
than tifteen secouds, caused by the
dropping of a pen with which a
maun was to sign his name to a will,
lost to a worthy purpose a legacy
of $lOO, 000, always comes to m y
mind. That was the case of H. R.
Rouse, one ot the pinveer oil opers
ators inOil Creek, who macre a
large fortune early in the business.
He was anative of Warren county,
and as early as 1861 his wells were
yieding kim a daily iucome above
the average wan’s annual income.
Ie fell a victim to the first great
oil-well {ire, when the famousl
Hawley &IM rrick well hezan sud
denly to epout oil and ges in such
quantities that the oil ran to waste
ar d flowed over the grouad in all
direciions, and gas filled the air tor
« quarter of a mile around, A ter
rible explosion and conflagration
followed. The score or more peo~
ple who had collected to witness the
then novel sight ofa flowing well
were enveloped in flames, among
them H. R. Rouse., He was res
cued from death in the sea of
flames by a man named Uriah
Swith, of Mercer, at the risk of
hisown hife nud at the cost of per«
manent and swful disizurement.
Rouse was so horribly burned that
his recovery was Immpossible, and,
after being carried to « house near
by, he insisted on n akiog his will.
His eyes were burned to a crisp in ’
theirsockets, and he was one solidf
blister from head to foot, but hc-'
lay without wi‘eringa moan or |
complaint, dictating his will, a|
taek thet required-several hours.
When the will had been reduced ,
to writinz and read to Lin he was
so weak that he could no Inn:er‘
speak, and he motioned for the pen I
to sign the document. \Whea the
percen who had done the writing
tipped the pen in the inlk-bortle
and was ahout to place it in Rouse’s
hand, he dropped it and it rolled un
der thebad., Not mere than a quar- I
ter of a minute clapsed before he
had reecovered it, but when it
was placed ia Rouse's band,
the hand was powerless to use it.
The brave oil prince was dead.
The will he thus lett unsigned bes
queathed $lOO,OOO to the poor of
Warren county. It also remems
bered the man who had torn the
testator from the burning mass of
oil, who was left a handsome legs
acy. Rouse’s heirs, not being les
gally bound to carry out his wishes,
repudiated the moral claims and
Warren county lost her legacy,as
did the man who, at the risk of his
own life, saved the old prince to
his family at least for Christian bur
inl. And this is why the dropping
of a pen gives me a most uncome
fortable and nervous feeling.-—FPhil

A REPUBLICAN'S DREAM.
What the Devil Does With the Green
Farmers.
A certain Republican politeian
of Carlyle one night dreamed that
he died and passed on his journey
to another world. At first there
was but a single rond, but after a
long distance it forked, and stand
ing there as sort of a guide board
was an angel who inquired the
name of the traveler, and upon res
ceiving this iuformation the angel
cousnlted his directory and finding
divers black marks "and memo~
randa bade the pilgrim take the
left-hand road. After trav
eling some distance the politician
arrived at the abode of his satanic
majesty, who, wbile according
him a roysl welcome,apologetically
remarked that he had arrived
a hittle sooner than expected, theres
tore would he look about the dig~
gings fora season whila his apart
‘ments were being put in ordei? In
compliance with this request the
politician followed a guide about
and witessed the roasting and
squirming of a job lot of fellows
in a very hot quarter. Inquiring
who they were he was answered
that they were the monopolists
who orginated the tariffto pro‘ect
home industries. In another com~
partment were found a lot of
preachers, who had priyed for
tenperance and voted the Republi
can ticket, A little farther on
they came to a room not quite so
hot, where a string of men were
hanging up by the heels by means
of binder’s twine. In astonishment
the politician asked the meaniag
of the strange sicht, whereupon
the asssistant devil replied: Oh!
they are farmers who believe in a
high tarifl; they are so darned
green that they wou't burn; we
have to hang them up by the heels
a few months to dry ’em out.—Cai
tyle (1ll) Constitution..
A Queer Abode.
Thereis an old man on the up=
per Savannah, living on the Geors
zia side of the river, who has got
lived in a house siuce the earth
quake ot 1886, An old oak, with
inviting limbs, has been his place
of ahode since the skake-up referr
ed to. During the earthquake
his house was stirred violently, the
chimmey tumbling in, and he ran
iremit. A negro was employed to
brmg him from the building such
articles as he wveeded, and he has
huilt bim a sleeping place in the
limbs of the tree; a stout canvas is
his only shelter from the rain. His
cooking is done on the ground, and
his receptions are on the grassy
spot under the shade of the oak,
The least rambling will cause his
precipitate rush to terra firma, and
he will instantly jump to the
ground at the sound ot thunder or
seeing a flash of lightning.
An Industrial Revolution.
The greatest industrial revolu
tion which the world has ever seen
has begun,says the Manufacturers’
Record. This country has eatered
upon an era in which chinges,
frauzht with tremendous conse
quences, are to occur. The center
of industrial life is to be trans‘erred
from New England and Pennsyl
vania to the South, I'he contolling
torces inall lines of manutactur
ing are gathering in the South,
and not only will this gection
dominate these interests in Ameri
ca, butit is the South which will
meet Great Britain itself in the
final struggle for the mastery of
the world’s iron and cotton indus
trics, and the South will win.

“iN GOD WE TRUST.” I
Snmm— A
how This Motto Came to be Stamped on
United States Coins. |
The motto, “In (God We Trust,”
which is now stamped onall gold
l and silver coins of United States
money, was suggested by an honest,
Gou-fearing old tarmer of thestate
of Maryland. This conscientious
christian thought that our national
icoinage shoull indicate the chris—
tian character cof the nation, and
by introducing a motto upon our
coins express a national reliance
ou Divine support of our governs
I mental affairs. In 1861, when Sal
mon P. Chase was secretary of the
r treasury,he wrote him and surgest..
ed that, a 8 we claim to be a chris
tian people, we should make suitas
ble recognition of that tact on our
coinage. The letter was referred to
the director of the mint, James
Pollock, a Puritanic christian, of
Penosyivaria. In Mr. Pollock’s
reports for 1862 he discused the
question ot a recognition of the
sovereignty ot God and our trust
in Him on our coins. The propo~
sition tointroduce a motto upon
our coins was favorably considered
by Mr Chase and in the report he
said ke did vot doubt, but believ~
ed, that it wou'd meet with ap
nroval by an iatelligent public
sentiment. But congress gave no
attention to the suggestion, and
in his vext annual report he again
referred to the subject, this time
in a firm, theological argument,and
said :
“The motto sugoested, *‘God
our Trust,” is taken from our na
tional hymn, “The Star Spangled
Banner.,” The sentiment is famils
‘ar to every citizen of our couns
try; it has thrilled the hearts and
tallen in eong {rom the lips ot
millions ot American freemen;
the time is propitous; its
an hour of national peril and dan
ger when man’ strength and
and salvat’on must be ot God. Let
us reverently acknowledge His
scvereignty, and let our coinage de
clare our trust inGod.” |
A 2 cents bronzad piece was aas
thorized to be coined by con;zress}
the following vear,April 22q,1864,
and upon this was first stamped the
motto, “In God We Trust.” In
his report of that year he express—
ed his approval ot the cet, and
strongly urged that the recognition
of trust be extended to the gold
and silver coins of the United Stats
es. By the fifth session of the act
of congress of March 3d, 1865, the
director of the mint, with the ap
provalot the secretary of the treas
ury, was authorized to place upon all
the gold aud silver coins of the Unit
ed Biates, sueceptible ot = such
additions thereafierto be issued,the
motto, ““In God We Trust.”— s

they got out laughed all the way
