Solemn Tribute Paid
to Old Liberty Bell
"John Marshall, then chief Justice
the United States, died In Phlladel
phl'a on July G,
1835," saya an old
newspaper account.
"On Jnly 8, exactly
59 years to the day
of the anniversary
of the proclamation
of the Declaration
of Independence to
the people, his re
mains were borne
from Philadelphia to
his Dative state, Vir
ginia, for burial.
During the funeral
solemnities the Liberty bell, while
slowly tolling, cracked through its
side, forever silenced but not less elo
quent In its mute patriotic appeal. It
had lived out its life (82 years) of
usefulness as men live out their lives.
Its active work was done; it had
called the people together to perserve
their rights under the British crown;
it had rung out its clamorous defiance
on the great day of the proclamation
of the Declaration of their Independ
ence ; it bad glorified all anniversaries
of that Independence. Henceforth, it
remains in its ancient place, the si
lent symbol of not only 'Liberty
throughout all the land,' but through
out the world."

the ptamp* have survived the years.

the translation of the word* Id the

BUSINESS IN JILL LINES
IS ACTIVE HERE
Peaches Bring Good Prices And Fanners
Are Optimistic
Business is active in Perry de
spite the hot weather, the peach
season is at its height and every
body is busy.
Th? building activities in pro-i
grass here have not slackened
materially during the summer
months one important item of con- J
struction work now in progress
being the drug store and office
building on Csrroll ahd Ball
Street.
Local plants, including the Per
ry Veneer Co. plant, and Moore
Lumber Company are very active,
the Veneer plant now operating
at, day and night turning out
peach cups.
The three packing sheds are
running full force here, and the
canning plant is also in operation.
The peach crop in this section,
while not as large as last season
is of good quality and the prices
received so far have been very
satisfactory, and a spirit of opti
mism prevails among the growers.
Crop conditions in Houston have
greatly improved due to the show
ers of the past three weeks. 'Cot
ton while up to a poor stand after
the drouth is growing rapidly, the
late plants in most field* catching
up its growth.
The watermelon crop, while late
due to the replanting is growing
nicely, and with a normal amount
of rainfall during the next two
weeks should produce good crops.
