Miss Stella Shuman pupil of the
Hagans school won the $25 in gold
offered by John M. Gregg for the
best speller in the county.

There was an immense crowd
gathered, so many that the school
house would not contain them all.
Permission was COTTON TO use the

in it for the people.
A short preliminary exercise was
begun to let the spoilers become
accustomed to the Superintendent )

began 1t lasted only % minutes

SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Proposition of r.. A. WiibOurne TO Pur-
chase Goods of b.. j. Taylor at In
voice Price,

A deal is on between r. A. Viii
bourne, the fourth ward groceryman
and the creditors OF B. j. Taylor for
the purchase of the goods at invoice
price. Mr.. Wilbourne made propo-
sition to take the stock of goods all
together. QIf the'terms can be arranged
which now seems probable the deal
win be closed. Most OF the creditors
have signed an agreement for sale, one
third cash and the rest in 60 days.
1t is thought that the property will
pay rs to 80 cents on the dollar of in
debtedness at least.
1t is reported that telegram was
sent here to Mr.. Bishop by Taylor af-
ter he got to Cincinnati, directing Mr..
Bishop to maize what he could out of
Taylor's property, as he was not COM
ing back. Bishop had furnished a
sum of money, about $1,000, forsTay-
lor to set up in business. He got the
first attachment on Taylor's property
to satisfy claims.
1t appears that Taylor's business
and property was in good enough
shape, and would have paid out 100
cents on the dollar and some to spare,
if he had staid with it.

AGAINST SUNDAY MAILS.
Movement Started in the NJ. E. Sun
day School on Sunday-PostO Office
People want to Open Office.

A movement was inaugurated on
Sunday in the. Sunday School of the
M. E. church looking toward the
doing away with Sunday mails here.
Petitions will be circulated and the
department will be requested to
close the local office.
Inquiry at the postoffice as to how
this move was regarded by the
office force shows that they are very
much opposed to it. They want to
get rid of all the mail they can on
Sunday. About one half of the
mail which comes IN from Saturday
night to Monday morning is handed
out ON Sunday afternoon.
Even ii the office is not opened
this mail will have to be handled by
the force. The people who want
their mail will kick strenuously il
they can't get in to receive it. Those
who don't want their mail won't
care. They in TACT can stay away
now and not be bothered with the
present arrangement.
j. j. Wharton established the
practice of opening the post office on
Sunday. This went into effect the
first Sunday after he took charge OF
the office. 1t has been continued
ever since.

TRAGEDY CAUSED BY JEALOUSY
Losing Love of Sweetheart Maddens
Young Man-After Committing Ter
rible Act the crszed Lover Blows
Out His Own Brains.

Johnstown, Pa, April 20-Mad jeal-
ousy and a desire for awful revenge
are supposed to be the emotions which
melted Robert Long, a well-known
Jehnstown carpenter, to shoot and
kill Emma Foust at her home at
Seanor postoffice, II miles from here,
late Saturday night and afterward
turn the still smoking revolver upon
himself with fatal effect.
Long was in love with Miss Foust
and for some months after the two
met the girl seemed to return his af-
fections, but later she gave him to
understand that she could never be
more to him than friend. This
seemed to madden Long and on sew
eral occasions he said to friends: IF
I don't get Emma no other man ever
will"
Saturday night Long went to Seanor
to see Miss Foust. He arrived at the
girls house about o'clock. For an
hour the two chatted on matters
which will never be known 1t was
1915 when the parents of Miss Foust
were aroused from their sleep by a
shot. There was another shot and the
door of the old peoples bedroom was
onened by Emma. The girl was stag
gering and as she entered the room
she exclaimed, Il am shot, and then
fell dead on the floor.
After shooting Miss Foust, Long
stepped out on the back porch and
fred shot into his brain. He died
instantly
Both the girl and Long were well
known and highly respected. The
dead girl was 81 years of age. Longs
age was % wars
