men, one patrol going on duty at 9
O'Clock at night and being relieved by
another at , O'Clock in the morning.
The latter remains on duty until day

The town is thoroughly patrolled in

gang of burglars that has been operat-
ing so frequently in Westwood in the
last month continue its thieving ex-
petitions in the town, its members
will be captured dead or alive.
Each citizen doing patrol duty is
well armed. Every stranger discovered
on the streets after 8 o'clock will be
arrested unless he gives a satisfactory
account of himself.
the borough council has decided to
spend 50, 900 a year for police protec-
tion. A steel cage is to be erected in
the fire truck house, and any burglar
who is captured alive will be placed
in this cage until he can be taken to
the county Jail at Hackensack.

Belonged to the Girl Who Was
Hit by a Train Last
Sunday.

killed by a train on the Central
drawbridge last Sunday, was found
on the bridge by George Germs, Jr.,
and ii was last night taken to the
girls home at 10 Charles street.

it might have belonged to the girl

Last night, accompanied by Patrol
man Shultz, he took the pocketbook
to the girls home. She described
the pocketbook and contents accur-
ately and it was handed over to her
at once. 1t contained SITS, some
foreign money and some beads.

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-Lower tenn
p%erature stimulates retail trade and
fall openings are largely attended, but
the weather is not cold enough to
late crops that are maturing
most satisfactorily. Certainty OF Il
successful season on the farW.s con
tributes more than any otter single
factor to the confidence that is felt in
all sections of the country. Compare
lively little new grain has been mar
keted thus far. which is largely due
to the planting of winter wheat and
other preparations for next year that
are unusually extensive. Manufacture
ing activity is fully maintained, the
leading industries having contracts as
surfing little idle machinery during the
balance of the year, and it is probable
that more business will be carried
over into 1906 than at the opening of
any previous year. The growing dis
position to place orders for distant de-
livery testify to the well nigh universal
faith that no setback will be eXpe-
rienced.

United States are 240 against BOG last
week, 1914 the preceding week and 223

another man, he declared. promised to
buy some chickens from him but didn't.
and the other mar was angry because
he thought the first party was accusing
him Of stealing some chickens. The
policeman adjusted the matter, which
was due in large part to a not too CON-

Renewing Her Youth.

We are glad to know that the life
tide at old Hampden-Sidney is beat
ing full and strong.
The recent celebration Of the 22nd
was marked by an interest unknown
for many years passed. The crowds in
attendance were large, the young ora
tors were in fine trim, the girls more
winsome than ever, the music soul
stirring and the dancing spirited. The
doors Of the homes on the "Hill'
were thrown wide open to visitors
while within a gracious and generous
hospitality was displayed. Farmville,
we are glad TO know, was well repre-
scented and all went merry as a we'd
ding bell. And who knows but that
the occasion may lead TO more than
one altar and the ringing of many
wedding bells? We congratulate
Professor Whiting, who for the time
being, is the commander in chief of
the education forces gathered at this
venerable and noble institution Of
learning, and under whose wise and
administration the better
and brighter conditions have been
brought about. May this dawn
broaden into the brighter day and the
splendOr follow.
The glorious past Of Hampden-Sid-
ney ought to be promise Of still more
glorious future.

Death Of MIS- Permella Ann Goode.

This venerable and most estimable
lady died in this place at the home Of
her brother, Mr. G.. G. Bass, on last
Friday, the oath inst, and was buried
at Hampden-Sidney on Satur lay, the
Rev. Mr. Graham, the pastor of the
Presbyterian church, conducting the
service at the grave.
Mrs. Goode left an only son, Mr.
Benjaman +. Goode, principal Of the
school, at Leaksville, n. c., and an
only brother, Mr. G G.. BASS, the last
Of a family Of eleven children.
Mrs. Goode would have been 81
years old if she had lived until April,
so she had long since passed the three
score and ten limit Since 1919 she
had been a widow, and all the inter
yening years had been spent in the
home of her brother. For five years
she had not left the yard, and since
December last she had been confined
TO her bed.
In this life of retirement the old
family Bible had been her constant
companion and unfailing source of
comfort and joy. The Sunday before
her death Mr.. Bass went to her bed
side at the home when the church
bells were ringing for the morning ser
vices and said: 81 am going to church
now" TO which she feebly and yet
promptly said, 81 would love to go 10
heaven today" Before the light Of
another Sabbath dawned on earth,
her wish had been gratified, as we be-
lieve, for having lived for the glory Of
God here, she is living with Him in
glory now.
blessed are the dead who diein the
Lord from henceforth, yea saith the
spirit that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow
them
