Down on the Court Hoom Square, yesterday, the maker, Ernest Warther of Dover, Obic, had on exhibit sixteen miniature locomotive engines, fifteen run Bias. They are mounted on three step-shelves and arranged in the order in which they came into ex istence. One was not running. It is a model made b> Sir Isaac Newton and dates back to 1680. It was found among Newton's effects af ter his death. After he had dis covered that steam would lift a kettle lid he began to try to make application of his discovery. He built an engine bnt it wonld not work, but he left the model. Following this Mr. Warther has constructed models of the various types of engines as they ap peared ? the wood burners, coal burners and fuel oil burners. It's an interesting exhibit whether one is mechanic minded or not. Yon see the miniatures running with the preoision of the giants that pull the long pass enger and freight trains. They are not thrown together in a slip-shod way, but are perfect units of intricate machinery, art fully and beautifully constructed and finished. The material used, besides the castiron wheels, is of ebony, wal nut, ivory and mother of pearl. The latest model is a triple compound, after an engine built by the Baltimore Locomotive Works, only two of which were buiit, one for the Brie Railroad and one tor the Virginian. These mammoth engines weighed 4264 tons and were 108 feet in length. It seems they were not a suc cess ? too big and cumbersome, and were finally scrapped. Mr. Warther does not have a screamline, but says when he gets back home he's going to build one. For 15 years, we understood, Mr. Warther has worked on these models when he had time from his regular work, and, by the way, about as much oil is con sumed in lubrication as it takes for a watch that you carry in your pocket. In all respects this exhibit equals any of Ripley's "Believe it or Not" collections in that they are genuine handiwork and not freaks of nature. Graham Public School Honor Roll, 7th Month.

On last Saturday, instead of the regular memorial day, May 10th, ex?rciaes, Graham Chapter U. D. C. held their exereiaea. Many years ago, in the youth ful daya of the Graham Chapter, there were more than a hundred veteran*, beaidea the widow* and wivaa of veterana, at theae annual gathering*, but Father Time ha* been busy the year round, leav ing only three wearers of the grey in Alamance county, uamely John H. Euliaa, near Liberty, -Joseph 8. Gibson, near Uebane, and Alfred L. Newlin, near Swep aonville. The last named was not able to be present. There were only two widows present. The exercises were held In the Brotherhood class room in thw Presbyterian church and presided over by the president of the chap 1 ter, Mr*. C. C. Thompson. The program was under the direction of Mrs. J. J. Henderaou. The reg ular address was made by Har per Barnea, local attorney. He v. W. E. Harrop conducted the de votional. A class from the Child ren's Chapter sang and these wm special musio by Mias Virginia Caruthers, piano, and Rankin Caruthars, cello. Of special interest was the ac count of the dedication of the room at Stratford Hall in which Robert E. Lee was born, given by Mrs. J. Dolph Long, who attended the ceremony on May 2nd. Following the exercises a splen did dinner was served for the Veterans, the widows, chapter member*, including the Children, and invited guests. Centenarians. At one time, quite many years ago, in the southwestern part of this county ? to be more specific, in Patterson township, there were two citizens, a Mr. Foster and a Mr. Stout (we're not certain as to their first names) who oelebrated their one hundreth birthdays. It whs a joint celebration, though the anniversaries did not fall on the same dates. The occasion waa made a community affair. There is now living in that same section of the county, the same township, a peutleman who, perhaps, is the oldest resident of the county. His name is John H. Euliss, who lacks but two months of being 96 yearn of age. Mr. Eu litts is a Confederate veterau. He was here Saturday at the dinner given by Oraham Chapter of the Confederacy. Mr. Euliss is remarkably well preserved, looks to be and says he is in good health, though he says he cannot hear as well as be used to. Mr. Euliss said he had never been sick euough to spend a day in bed in his life. That is a remarkable record. Talking with him, another aged gentle - man from his township, namely, 'Squire Sylvester Spoon, was men tioned, whom Mr. Euliss said was his first cousiu. Mr. Spoon, well along in his 90's, died several years ago. When he waa past 90 he cultivated a crop of cotton and other crops and raised ample for bis needs. That all these old people lived in Patterson township, marks that, it seems, as the healthiest section of Alamance county, or anywhere else for that matter. Would it not be a fine loeation for a sanit-orium? The elevation is good, the soil a sandy loam, good water and good people.
