God- charles, the director, as invaluable to the Commonwealth, have been added to the display in the State Library and Museum. They were presented by Dr. Henry Pleasants, Jr., of West Chester. The one gift is a letter written by General Renry Pleasants to his uncle, Dr. {Henry Pleasants on the eve of the explosion of the fortifications Petersburg. The other addition to the museum collection is a Colt revolver presented by his uncle to General Henry Pleas- ants said he had been reminded of the part his uncle had taken in the blow- ing up of the Petersburg fort by a story he had read on the event which had been written by Dr. Godcharles. The letter written by General Pleasants follows: Near Petersburg, Va., July 23, 1924. Dear Uncle: I have read both yours and Uncle James’ welcome letters, but I have not had time to answer them. I have worked harder of late with body and brain than I ever did in my life before. I have projected, undertaken and com-- pleted a gigantic work; and have accomplished one of the greatest things in this war: I have ex- cavated a mine gallery from our line to and under the enemy’s works. This mine is 511 feet in length and has lateral galleries of 75 feet, making total distance 586 feet. I am under one of their principal forts, and as soon as the ‘high authorities are ready, will put in 12,000 (twelve thousand) pounds of powder in nine enormous maga- zines and will blow fort, cannon and rebels to the clouds. The chief engineer of the army and the rest of the regular army sviseacres said it was not feasible; that I could not carry the ventila- tion that distance without digging a hole to the surface, and that I would either get the men crushed by falls of earth or have them smothered. Old Burnside stood by me. Told me to go ahead and I have suc- ceeded. When I began I had neither an inch of board or a single nail. I caused our big picks to be made smaller; got cracker boxes and made hand-burrows out of them and went ahead day and night until I finished it. I now wait the order to put in the powder and reap the fruits of the work. It is terrible, however, to hurl several hundred 'men with my own hand at one blow into eternity, but I believe I am doing right. Be sure not to speak of this matter outside of Uncle James and Aunt Emily until the thing is done, TO DALLAS TOWNSHIP TAXPAYERS I hereby announce to the voters of Dallas Township my can- didacy for the office of Tax Collector of Dallas Township. - I believe that my ability and my integrity warrant your sup- port, which I shall sincerely appreciate, D.

A telegram from Baltimore an- nouncing the successful explosion of tht mine is also a part of this pre- sentation and was worded as follows: A later dispatch from the Asso- ciated Press - correspondent—at City Point states the assault of Petersburg com:nenced at 9 o'clock Saturday morning by a terrible explosion which completely de- stroyed one of the enemy's prin- cipal forts in front of Petersburg, containing sixteen guns. This was reduced to a mass of ruins. Im- mediately upon this explosion our artillery opened with one simul- taeous and continuous roar above the entire line of General Grant's army. To complete the presentation of these trophies Dr. Pleasants presented to the State Museum the commission of General Henry Pleasants, which is signed to Governor Curtin and El Silfer, as Secretary of the Common- wealth. -Meeker- William Payne of Nescopeck spent a few days recently with his sister, Mrs. E.

Good farmers are always too busy to waste time on this job. That's one good reason why so many farmers are using McCor- mick-Deering Manure Spreaders. The McCormick-Deering is designed and built for busy farm- ers. It has many new and time- tested features which make it possible to do a good job of spreading, easily, economically, and quickly. It is easy to load, JOHN ISAACS KUNKLE, PA. = easy to operate; it is an easy pull, loaded to capacity, for two horses. It is strongly built to travel at top speed with a trac: tor. It pulverizes thoroughlyand spreads evenly—covers a lot of ground in surprisingly short time. If you can’t find time to spread manure, if you are spreading by hand, or if you are working un- der the handicap of an old-fash- ioned spreader, investiguic the new McCormick- Deering.
