If the County Commissioners had been here last Friday and seen their new two-thousand-dol lar concrete bridge standing for lorn in the midst of a flood whose angry waters laden with great cakes of ice, were swirling wildly by, covering the ground fifty yards. from either end of the bridge, and making it impossible for the traveling public to scarce ly get in sight of the costly struc ture, they would have felt that "somebody had blundered." It is a humiliating disappoint ment to the people of this end of the county, who have waited so long for a promised bridge, to have one now that stands only as a monument to the stupidity of those who bad the locating and managing of the specifications of the structure.

Resolution of Respect Resolutions on the death, of Sister Edith Sipe adopted by As pasia Rebekah Lodge No. 841, 1. O. O. F. The gates of death have again opened and Sister Edith Sipe has been admitted to that world where sorrow and sadness can never reign. Our sister has lain down the burdens and cares of this world never again to take them up. Death demanded a ahining jewel, with which to adorn the cold and silent tomb, and our sister fell in the high noon ot her life. Her life was but a vapor which has vanished with the sun ot the early morn, and yet, though her life was short, we were enabled to feel its influence, as that Influence made its sel felt in the meetings of onr Lodge. She was ever loyal to Friendship, Love and Truth, and her death deprives us of one of our most faithful members. Whereas, It has been pleasing to the Supreme Ruler of the Uni' verse to call from our midst Sis ter Edith Sipe, therefore be it: Resolved, That we bow in hum ble and silent submission to the will of Him who apportions to every man his time. Resolved, That this Lodge ex tends ttadeepest sympathy to the bereaved parents, brothers and sisters in ' this hour of anguish and sorrow. Resolved, That the charter of the Lodge be draped In mourning fot thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions he attached to the records of the Lodge, that a copy be sent to the bereaved family of our deceased sister and that they be published in the newspapers o the county. Fraternally submitted, Cora L. Sipes, DoraV. Schooley, . Ada Hann, Committee. A. S. Braut and Miss Jessie Hoffman were in town yesterday doioir vpping. He Says Temperament of Quests Cones Out When They Keflster Names. "Do I believe that a man's name as he writes it is an indication of his character ?" repeated a hotel clerk who has been behind the counter m several cities, accord ing to the New York Sun. "I do know that the best of them un mask their real temperament when they write their names on a hotel register- and I hold tbat there's a difference between char acter and temperament "A man may be bilious and yet have a good character. A man may be a crank and yet hold a job in a bank. I knew a preach er who had a case of dyspepsia that would have made an angel jump over a ten-rail fence, but he was all right on the religious goose. I'm talking about tem perament that shows itself when a man grabs a pen and writes his name on the register and where he hails from. "When a man spreads a John Hancock brand of chirography on the book of arrivals, I know what sort of room he wants. I know he has to have a bed in which he can wallow like a buffalo. "When a guest writes his name as he would fcign it in a lady's al bum I put him in the finicky class I know he wants a thin glass from which to drink ice water, "The arrival who uncovers him self the quickest is the man who tries to write differently from anybody else and has an acquired autograph. The man who devel ops the trait of getting something under false pretenses begins by trying to assume an autograph. I always know that this fellow will have a rumpus with the wait er or the bellboy or the liquid dispenser. "There is one chap that reach es my heart the man who writes 'and wife' for the first time after his own name. He can't disguise the fact by his manner, to say nothing of his chirograpky, that he has just started on the first lap of his honeymoon. He doesn't try to counterfeit his natural pen manship, but he writes 'and wife' as it he thought we were on, won dering how we knew it "All things being equal, the newly married arrival is the most agreeable guest in the house. A fellow with a new wife wears vel vet shoes so tbat his kick is never felt I think if anybody writes a perfectly natural autograph it is the man who has just been mar ried. Then if ever a man tries to be just what he Is. " Safe aod Sure. - Among the medicines tbat are recommended and endorsed by physicians and nurses is Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure.

The death of Delagrange tnd the injury on the same day of two other aeronauts, Santos Dumont and the Baroness de la Roche, the first woman to drive an aero plane, leads the ''Engineering Machine" to express its doubts as to whether aviation, instead of a common and useful method of travel, will ever become more than "a hair-raising sport, like Alpine climbing or tiger hunt ing." This journal may be altogether wrong, just as the French Acad emy of Science was wrong la its pessimistic views of the future of photography; and yet the dispas sionate observer of events cannot help but note that the achieve ments of the aeroplane are solely those which have been accom plished in the masterly hands of their inventors or carefully train ed disciples. It is no safe device for the average adventurer. It is all very well for the Wrights, a Blenot, a Farman, or a Paulhan, to dare upwards in their one or two-plane constructions, but that, as yet, means very little. The scientific world is cautions of granting a success to the aero plane. Man, as yet, is not an en tirely successful bird. Never theless, there is a strong faith and a very widespread and confi dent belief that after these many years of attempt and multiplied failures man is about to achieve the conquest of the air.
