FAMOUS OLD CLOCK TO BE ON DISPLAY MARCH 23

Something like forty years ago,‘ there was an old clock brought to this country from the Black Forest, a small country which lies in the southeast corner of Germany, where France and Germany fought so many hard battles years ago. When the clock was found in an old castle, the wood case was so worn and wormeaten it could not be moved, but the clock works, music, rolls and pipes were good. And the dial and the painting on the dial is what you want to see. It shows the old land mark, made of iron, where deeds are kept. The music part is wonderful. It has forty-nine pipes and the scale on the music bar has the letter “H,” and the record on file will tell you this letter in music was used in the eleventh century. But Ido not believe anyone will be able to tell how old the clock is, but I do know it will be worth your time and money to see this wonderful antique. Besides the clock there will be many more articles of interest which we have gathered together. We want you to bring in your articles Friday, March 22, well marked, WQT*your names, and something of interest about each. The articles brought to the museum are only borrowed and you will get them back.—-Contributed.
