(By Associated Press,


L4NCHBURG, VA. August 9.-Some
time ago when the Postoffice De-
partment It Washington wrote to one Of
the postmasters in Alabama and asked
him how far did the Tombigbee River go
up from that point, the postmaster re-
down. The postmaster, it is stated. re-
ceived his dismissal Some Of the friends
Of DR.. H Gray Latham, Of Lynchburg.
believe that this incident gave him the
inspiration for an amusing joke at the
governments expense. At any rate they
are convinced that he went the Alaban1-
ian postmaster one better and came out
Of the tilt without losing his job. It is
said that the Census Bureau has a great
deal of trouble in securing statistics as
to the number of idiots in the country,
for the reason that families are loath
to give information in regard to them.
To overcome this difficulty. the bureau
sent out circulars to all the doctors of the
United States asking them to give what
ever information they could in regard to
this matter and particularly to send in
the number of idiots that came under
their practice DR.. Latham in his reply
to the bureau stated that he was unable
to give any information on this line. as
all the idiots of Lynchburg employed
some other doctor.
Mr.. Charles c. Stone and Mrs. Sadie
E. Kelley left here a few days ago on an
excursion to Norfolk and GA their arrival
in that city were united in marriage by
return home, the ceremony was again
performed by Rev. Father OHara. as
sistant pastor of the Church of the Holy
Cross.
