He Is going to lead our country, DESCRIBES HER TRIP TO PALLADIUM OFFICE We had a vacation for three days and Aunt Molly told us she was going to take us to the Palladium office and have them show us all around. So she came down here Wednesday morning about a quarter of ten and told us the story of Fair Snow White which was very good. , So. we were ready about 10 o'clock. We marched two by two all the way down there, which was fun of course. When we got there we went up stairs and were look- . ing at the machinery. They showed us a room with all the bales of paper; I couldn't tell how many though. They also showed us the 'furnace in which all the hard lead is melted. They showed us the wet mats they use for presslng and when they come out of the press they are just as dry as anything could be. As we passed up the stairs we received a piece of metal. Each metal plate weighs 60 pounds. We saw also how they set the type. Then "we came out and went home. If any Junior readers have a chance by all means go and see the Palladium office.

David Hoover Lays Foundation of City

One of the most Interesting pioneers of Wayne county is David Hoover. He was born in North Carolina, but because of slavery they moved in covered wagons to Dayton, Ohio, on the Stillwater. As they came through Cincinnati, that city only had twelve rude .log cabins. Their location on Stillwater, was very unhealthful, however, so that David with twelve friends started along a section line through forty miles of unknown wilderness to Smithville, our present Richmond. After a few years he with a few more Quakers were considered the leading men of Smithville. Several years later the lot-holders wanted a new name for their little town, and David Hoover, Thomas Roberts and James Pegg were appointed for the task. Mr. Roberts suggested "Waterford," Mr. Pegg, "Plainfield," and Mr. Hoover, "Richmond." Since several of the first settlers .had originally come from Richmond, England, and since Richmond, Virginia was such an important city, it is thought the lot holders finally decided upon Mr. Hoover's suggestion for this reason. Mr. Hoover lived near the present Griffeth Mendenhall home on the Something To

Thrilling Experience Of Orphan Girl Now Dolly was a pretty little girL with raven black hair, oh, so curly, and eyes so black. Dolly's mama and papa were dead, and dolly was In the orphans' home. Now, at the time of my story, she was sitting in her hot little room trying to read. The book did not seem interesting for gvery little bit she would shut her eyes. "Ding Dong!" What was thatl Dolly jumped up with a start. "Oh, dear, now I'll catch It." Down stairs went Dolly with such speed as to set her curls aflying. Her cheeks were glowing from exertion when she arrived in the kitchen. "Oh, Dolly, come here quick, called Mrs. Wiggens, the matron. "Slip on this apron, and brush your curls quick for there's a beautiful lady in there and she wants to see .you." Excited very much Dolly ran around and in a very short time was ready. "Mrs. Sherman, this is Dolly Wissler." "Dolly," said Mrs. Sherman, "would you like to go home with me to live?" . "Oh, yes, very much." . "Get your hat on then and come along." said Mrs. Sherman. "P-Pardon, Mrs.," said Mrs. Wigans, "b-but Dolly has no hat." "You poor dear, you shall have a hat this very day. Tell Mrs. Wiggens good bye and come along." "Good bye," said Dolly. "Good bye," said Mrs. Wiggens. "My, Dolly, it does look nice on you. Do you like it?" "How much is it?" said Mrs. Sherman. -- "Eleven dollars and fifty cents," was the answer. "Oh," Dolly's chin quivered. "I I would like to have it, b-but you can't afford it." "Ha, ha," laughed the woman, "Wrap it up," said she to the saleslady. Dolly stared wide-eyed at the woman then danced for joy. "Dolly, a plumed hat and a gingham apron don't go together," said Mrs. Sherman. "No," said Dolly. "Well, we'd better get some new ones," said Mrs. Sherman. Dolly went on home which was a stately mansion. "Dolly, come here," said Mrs. Sherman. f'Dolly, this is Babbette," Indicating the little French white-capped maid. "Babbette, this is Dolly, your little mistress. Take her to her room." - Arriving In her room Dolly looked in wide-eyed wonder, everything was white, 'the bed, chairs, dressing table and desk. "Is this. MY room?" "Yes." was the answer. "Then Jump Into bed." But as she got in bed something crashed. She opened her eyes and there she was In her chair by the window still at the orphans' home and the supper bell was ringing. She had been dreaming. The End

GRACE ELS A TROTTER HUNTERS ARE ARRESTED One bright Saturday morning five hunters went out on a little hunt. They came to a woods where there were many rabbits and squirrels. But this woods had a sign on It saying, "No Hunting." They went in anyway, thinking that if they stayed far enough away the men at the house could not hear them shooting. They happened to wander in the direction of the house and the men heard them shooting. The men came out and had them arrested. The next time the five hunters went hunting; they didn't go into anybody's woods that had a sign on it saying, "No Hunting." LESTER BALDWIN. 6A Grade Baxter School. BUTTER-SCOTCH SHOWER Last week our room had a butter-scotch shower on our teacher in the morning. As soon as the tardy bell rang, all the boys and girls threw butterscotch candy at the teacher. It made a loud noise. That afternoon we had another on our teacher. She had a large box full of butterscotch candy. She said, "After this, hand the candy to me instead of throwing it at me."
