Since the establishment of
this plant here in 1927, exten-
sive improvements have been
made both in and around the
plant, and, also, in the village
to the extent that visitors are
often heard to say that the
Slater plant and premises are
perhaps the prettiest in the
state.

ibly shaken, yet he soon recov-
ered himself, smiled and
bounced the children on his
knee. For nights thereafter he
played with the children and
told nursery rhymes. But after
they had gone to bed, he
brought out a grimmer story
bound in leather covers and
read it painstakingly.

Weeks passed and George
Arnold became visibly paler,
more nervous. One night he
was discovered taking to bed
with him a kidney stone, re-
moved from a deer he had
slain. His wife's questions
brought only smiles and reas-
surances.

Several months went by and
then it was hot summer. Now
was the time for action. At
the general store Arnold
bought a 12-foot chain and
strong lock. Then he went to
the woods. In the shade of a
tree he sat down and wrote his
wife a letter, pouring out his
love for her and the children.
He told how he had read about
his symptoms in the big

day.

old Julian who was married to

knew what he must do.

He finished the letter in a
firm hand. Then, according to
contemporary newspaper ac-
count, ''he ran the chain
around a tree, drew it through
the large ring at the end and
then wound the other end
around his ankle, so tight that
it would not slip the foot, lock-
ed it and threw the key beyond
his reach.

''The body was found two
days after, still chained to the
tree . . . The ground was torn
up to the full length of the
chain, the nails of the fingers
wrenched off, and all his front

worth of Travelers Rest an-
nounce the marriage of their

Mrs. Bessie McCall of Travelers
Rest. The marriage was held

ter, Mrs. Lucille Irwin, in

judged rightly the conse-

George Arnold had been nip-
ped by a passing mad dog. The
kidney stone he had applied to
his wound was the only known
''cure'' for hydrophobia at the
time. Louis Pasteur found a
better treatment in 1885—five
years too late for an unsung
but extraordinary hero.—Allen

They won't work unless you do.

A judge reprimanded a man
for desertion of his wife. The
man replied, ''If you knew my
wife, you wouldn't call me a
deserter but a refugee.''
