Edward Mount ford of Camilla has an interesiiiiff keepsake in the foim of a small silver padlock, one side made of an English tour penny bit and the other of a United States half dime. Mr. Mount ford was given the padlock Wy his brother over twenty years ago.

It may not be amiss to add that the padlock is often used as a symbol of safety and security. It may be that the ueace and security of the world depended on an alliance of Great ltri>ain and the United States such as the present trend of events seems to promise.â€" (.)rangeville Banner. iLALDE KMEKSON .SMITH The au^•j cl of the aViove .iketch, whose death at ihf front was r.cHiiMy nntid, was birii at Ku<;on a Xi.v. •.':!, 1(^81.
