E. Webb, who died here Wednesday, once engaged in a walking contest with Edward Payson Well a. the famous walker. It was in 1874, when both Weston and Dr. Webb were young men.

Even at that time Weston had acquired considerable reputa tion as a walker. He was engaged by the management of the fair at Delaware, Ohio, as one of the drawing at tractions. The fair people had offered a prize of $500 to any person who could keep up with Weston for five miles on the race track. Dr. Webb once described his contest with the famous walking man this way: "Weston was a small, compactly built man; there were many entered for the race much larger and stronger, apparently.

At the tap of the bell some 200 of us started after that $500. Weston did not walk fast, just an even, Bteady motion. At every mile several dropped out. After the first mile was past there were only about fifty in the race. At the end ot the third mile Weston and myself were the only contestants.

I was feeling all right that $500 was as good as mine. As we plodded along Weston grew social and talked about walking and how he kept himself in trim. He wore knee breeches, long stockings and used a light weight riding whip to switch his legs. He said that was to keep op the circulation. I notice by the papers he still follows the practice.

"As we drew near the mile and a half mark I wouldn't have sold my chance of keeping np with him for $499. That was the rule of the game to keep up with Mr. Weston. Sud denly he turned and looked at me with a sort ot grin and commenced walking backwars as fast as he did forward. I hadn't practiced that way and he was soon out of reach.

I tried to keep up, but it was no use. He had me on that last half mile lap, and the big crowd cheered like it does when the home team wins the pennant. "It was a fair deal all right, but of course it fooled me. Weston Is a good old sport and I admire the pertinacity with which he sticks to the game. He sure Is a good walker." Mrs.

Harry D. Walker was hostess to a small number ot ladies at a fancy work party on Wednesday afternoon and again on Thursday afternoon. Dainty and delicious refreshments graced hot hoccaslons. Mayor Payson and the present city council have been making a splendid record for efficiency. The reelection of the old members of the council on Tuesday indicates that the citizens of Macon thought it wise to keep the present board of councilmen on the job.

Wendell Stephens, son, of Mrs. I. C. Stephens, has recently been elected and initiated into the honor of the Phia Alpha Delta, a legal fraternity of the faculty of the Universtiy of Denver. At the same time the same honor was conferred upon Clarence M.

Hawkins attorney ot Colorado and two judges of the court of appeals. Miss Vera Thomas of Macon is a member of the First District Normal School Chorus and will be heard with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra fn Kirksville on April 23.

B. Smith returned Saturday night from the bedside of Mrs. Smith in St. Louis hospital in order to hold the serves. It was well attended and more than usually impressive by reason of the sympathy felt for the loved wife of the rector in her illness.

LAGRANGE, April 3. A movement was started at a meeting of the county grange at Dover, southwest of here, yesterday, for the submission of the Gardner farm credit bill to a vote of the people at the general election in 1916. This bill was defeated in the senate in the closing hours of the recent session. From the first the state grange has actively endorsed Its provisions. C.
