Better Mail Service Over B. & D.
Road

The citizens and business mel
of Lexington set on foot a move
ment a short time ago by the circu
lation of a petition asking for al
additional railway mail service
between Lexington and Harrison
burg. The movement had its in
ception with Messrs. j. Med.
Adair and G.. D. Letcher. The
people of Harrisonburg, acting in
accordance with Lexington, also
secured a large petition asking for
the additional service. Staunton
also is interested in the change
and viii. render all the assistance
she can to secure the service.
The petition is addressed to Hon.
Chas. W. Vickery, Superintendent
of the Railway Mail Service of the
Postofflce Department. Mr.. Adair
has received a letter from Superin-
tendent vickery acknowledging
the receipt Of the petition, saying
that the matter had been laid
before the proper authorities and
that it would receive prompt at
tention. Congressman Flood and
Senator Martin will be requested
to use their influence in securing
the changes asked for.
The additional service will in
clude the placing of postal clerks
on trains II and ii between Lex
ington and HarrisOnburg. No. II
arrives Mt 9:45 a. M, and No. IA
leaves at II 40 a. M. These trains
at present carry only closed pouches
and deliver no mail to intermediate
local stations.
At present we have but one local
mail day each way over the Bal
timOre and Ohio-on the north
bound train that leaves here at
4:10 a. nj. and on the southbound
train that is scheduled to arrive at
5:22 p. N. Sometimes this train
is an hour or two late, and letters
arriving at that time from local
offices requiring prompt attention
cannot be answered by the next
mail, as the time for mailing letters
at the postohice closes at 0 o'clock
p. M. The only way to reach any
office between here and Staunton
the next day is to mail the letter
on the IL 40 train and it will be
delivered when the train returns
that afternoon, frequently too late
for the person to get his letter.
Another disadvantage that the
people of Lexington have to con-
tend with under the present ar
rangement is the poor service for
sending registered mail, which can
be sent from Lexington but once a
day, and that on the earl Y Balti-
more and Ohio train. If IA person
desires to send registered matter
any time during the day, it will be
held over for the 4:10 a. m. train.
With mailing clerk on the IL 40
n. m. train this would be obviatsd.
Thereforewe hope the additional
service will speedy be granted.

terrain church, on Monday wrote
to the committee on Evangelistic

all the Presbyteries Of Virginia,
about half Of West Virginia and
one in Maryland. The Office is an
important one, having as its object
the arOusing Of greater interest in
evangelistic and home mission
work.
Mr.. Booker is well fitted for
this important position. He has
done considerable evangelistic
work in the synod. Three years
ago, on account Of i'll health he
was compelled to retire from the
work, but has since been chair
man Of the evangelistic committee
of the synod.
Last Sunday morning Mr.. Booker
announced to his congregation at
Timber Ridge his acceptance of
the evangelistic and home mission
work, and therefore presented his
resignation AS pastor of that |
church. He expects to be ready |
for his new work by the first Of

fixed at$1, 500 year and expenses.
His family will continue to reside

Young Boy in Jail on Serious
Charge

Harry N. Jones, 15-year-old
boy, claiming Lowell, Mass, as
his home, is in Lexington jail on
the serious charge of raising a
check from one dollar to nine dol
lars and attempting to collect the
money on the same. The prisoner
has gained considerable notoriety
from the fact that several papers
have published reports that he is
a girl masquerading in boys
clothes.
Last Tuesday afternoon the
youth arrived in Lexington over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and registered at the Lexington
hotel from Cincinnati, o. The
next day he represented himself as
soliciting subscribers for New
York magazine and took SUBJ
scriptiOn from Prof. M. p. Burks
of Washington and Lee. Payment
was made by check for one dollar.
The boy, it is alleged, cleverly
"raised" the check from one dol
lar to nine dollars and presented
it to the First National Bank for
collections. Payment was refused
because tnc check had been
tempered with. While the matter
was being investigated, the youth
skipped the town.
On Saturday afternoon he was
caughtby Chief ofPolice Lakewood
at the home of Mr.. NJ. w. Lady Of
near Lexington, and brought be-
fore Mayor Walker for hearing.
Pending an investigation the
prisoner was committed to Jail.
In the meantime Mayor Walker
and Chief Lakewood wrote to
Lowell, to find out something
about the boy. AS yet no reply |
has been received.
FlOm reports published In the !
daily papers it seems the prisoner
has "worked" other towns in Vir-
ginia. He spent some time in
Richmond and Staunton. and
skipped his board bills in both
places, but not until be reached
Lexington, it appears, did he at
tempt more fragrant offenses.
The boy has an eliminate APP
pearance, is bright and entertain
ing and wears knee pants. He has
evidently seen much of the world.
His stories are conflicting as to his
past life. From his accent he is
evidently from New England. He
says his parents were natives of
Vermont, and that both are dead.
The crime of which he is charged
is quite serious and may send him
to the penitentiary.
This morning the boy wrote
statement for Chief Lakewood, in
which he says that on November
3lst, he met a girl in Norfolk call
ing herself II. n. Jones, but that
her real name was Gertrude Boyle.
He knew her in Lowell as one Of
the girls in the Boot mill, a cotton
factory of that city. She told
him that she had raised a check
in Norfolk from $40 TO $40. He
gave her some of his blanks and
together they solicited subscribers
Far the magazine. She later told
him that she expected to go to At
ANITA, Ga.
If this statement is correct, it
will account for the published
reports of the runaway girl from
Lowell.
