At a certain hour the safe locks itself and not even the man who has the combination can open it until the proper time comes. If Treasurer LAPHAM is captured some dark night by robbers and conducted to the office, and the demand made “your money or your life,” he would remember the time lock, and heroically say, “My life you can have; my money, never.” With nothing but an ordinary combination lock to encourage him, when a six mouthed persuader is placed at his ear, he might yield; but now he will be firm in his refusal to comply with any request to open the safe at improper hours. A time lock is a good thing, and is a practical application of the theory that money is more valuable than human life. ----------------------- Pleasant Mound Points: Finley LONG is “housing” for Col. J.V. PIERCE, our model stock raiser. --------- J.B. OLIPHANT, died, on the 21st ult., of pneumonia. He was one of our oldest settlers.
