Every Saturday the streets in the (business portion are packed and jammed. .Naturally such a eoncourse of people leave evidence 1 of their presence. The result is that the eonlitinn of the street on Sunday is mora unsightly than at any other time dnrfig the week. . ' A five, active eivie league compos ed of the publie spirited women of Ctmiord would not only eause the streets to be improved and beautified but would bring to pass other things of enduring benefit to the community. The public spirited women are here. All that is necessary is an organiza tion. ; No better illustration of what the! women of Coneord ean accom plish in matters of the semi-public nature than the achievements of the local chapter of Kings Daughters. Their work here has been of such a character as to win the admiration of the community. It has been suggest-! spread comment in Washington to ed that the King's Daughters take up tiny, but the day's developments in the work of beautifying and improv- official quarters added little of a def ing the appearance of the streets.

Muncray was 70 years old, but since his retirement from action of any sort at the age of 55 the physi cians attending him could find no trace of physical disability to explain his utter laziness. He died, appar ently, because he was weary of breathing. Soon after his arrival at the coun ty farm, 15 years ago, Muncray was set to work doing chores about the barns of the institution. He yawn ed continually and groaned occasion ally. The men who worked near him used to say that for his age he was about as a?ilc at dodging work as anyone they had ever encountered. Finallv, one blustery March day Muncrav lay down next to some work he was doing and refused to get up. Phvsicians were called and he was ; put to bed, but examination showed that there was nothing the matter with him. He. however, protested tha the was ill beyond words and re fused to get out of bed. He lay con tendedly until summer rolled over, during the fall and lay flat on his back the following winter, ditto the next four seasons and ditto the next 14 years.
