THURSDAY AUGUST 26, 1926.
. . . A J "
Little Miss Merle Fagan, of Columbus,
spent several days here with
relatives; and friends, last week.
School opens August 81. Of course
the children are glad, and so are we,
but we expect to be rather busy for
awhile, now.
Mr. W. D. VVestbrook reports the
killing of a large rattlesnake with
eight rattles, near the home of Mr.
Eli Bradley "the snakc killer," in
Green River Cove. We don't know
how the rattler had escaped Mr.
Bradley so long, unless it was one
of his pets, but that could make no
difference to a candidate, you know.
They would be obliged to kill all the
make sthey find. And when they
aro eected we rather expect them to
be pretty active In the suppression of
all the other evils which threaten
the human race. But, be that as It
may, wihout joking, and with all due
respect for Mr. Bradley, and wishing
him better luck next time, we neverless
congratulate Mr. Westbrook upon
this occasion, for few of us down
here have ever seen a rattlesnake,.
much less killed one.
GOLD BEATING PROCESSES
ARE DEPICTED AT SESQUI
The ancient processes in the manufacture
of gold leaf, which have remained
unchanged for the last century,
are demonstrated daily at the
Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition
in Philadelphia, by master
artisans of the craft. The material Is
hammered to the thinness of .003
inch.
James Donnelly, who became an
apprentice gold beater in the year of
the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia,
a half centry ago, may be
seen wielding an eight pound hammer
which flattens the gold to a
transparent thinness. His daughter,
Eanie Donelly, cuts the sheets with
a "wagon," makes them perfect
with reed pincers, and lays the fluttering
leaves between rouged paper,
ready for use.
PRESIDENT'S FRIENDS SEND
SESQUI BOOSTER MESSAGE
General A. F. Foote, Prominent New
Engender, Wires Praises of Exposition
to People ol Boston
The old adage, "Seeing is Believing,"
is responsible in a large measure
for the many telegrams and
letters of appreciation received from
prominent visitors to the Sesqui-Cen
tennial International Exposition, in
Philadelphia.
General A. P. Footle personal
friend of President Coolidge and active
participant in the affairs of New
England, who visited the Exposition
under the impression that is was far
fro incomplete, immediately telegraphed
the State House News Service,
in Boston, recently, to rectify
the erroneous opinion held by a number
of Bostonians pointing out that
the money used for a journey to
Philadelphia was wel lspent if the
visitor only witnessed a performance
of "Freedom," the spectacular and
historical pagent staged three nights
each week at he Sesqui. His telegram
read as follows:
"Philadelphia celebration of 150th
anniversary of the Declaration of
American Independence is glorious
success. Eight hundred buildings
containing exhibits of greaest Intrinsic
and historic value erected and
completed on ten hundred and ten
acres comprising exhibition grounds.
"Freedom" largest ad most spectacular
pagent ever given in America
with cast of 3000 persons well worth
trip to Philadelphia to every patriotic
Amercain. Splendid reception
given by Major Kendirck and Directorob
Public Safety Elliott to Massachusetts
State Police suqad participating
in police gymkhana held in
Sesqni-Centenial Stadium."
General Foote is ranking officer
in the Massachusetts National Guard
state commissioner of boxing, and Is
head of the mounted police of his
state. He announced in a letter to
J. R. Shepard, In charge of the Remington
Typewriter Exhibit at the
Exposition, that he was so impressed
by the magnitude of the Sesqui that
planned to bring his family to Philadelphia
o make an exhaustive tour of
the Grounds and again witness a
performance of "Freedom."
