Accomac Epworth League

The League at Accomac is only
about four months old but it is grow
ing in interest and in numbers. Every
Sunday evening we meet and nave
very enjoyable service for about
thirty or forty minutes. Our work SO
far has been, for the most part, a
study of the lives of the Reformers::
We have studied the life and work OF
such men as Martin Luther, Charles
Wesley, David Livingston, John Cal,
vim. Also we have had very helpful
paper read upon the works and life OF
the great singer Fanny Crosby.
The young men and young ladies OF
the League are its leaders. All the
papers read have showed careful study
and preparation and are we'll worth
your hearing. Miss Ella Mason, Miss
Sarah Mock, Mr.. VIII Stevenson, MIR.
John Grant have been among It's
leaders. In the near future we hope
to have others who will also join our
corps of leaders and during the sum
mer and fall we expect to give very
attractive programme to those WnC
will come out to our meetings. MISS
Minnie Stevenson and Mrs. Hender'
| lite are in charge of our literary de-
partment and they are soon coming
forward with very entertaining liter
airy programme.
Come out one and all to our Sunday
evening meetings. We shall be GLAD
! to have you come and to take part
We purpose to have reviews OF the
lives of other famous men and womel
and also of particular missionary fields
and other subjects. ~

The people of the county should hail
with delight the prospect of the extern
sion of the lines of the Accomac and
Northampton Telephone Co., to Acco-
mac C. H., at an early day and at a
time not very remote throughout the
Peninsula. They should buy stock in
said company and help it along to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible. The SER
vice of the company, at points where
its lines have been extended, is recog-
nized generally as superior in every way
to that of its competitor, and this being
true it is entitled as a home institution
to our support and patronage. Thai
line being established throughout the
Peninsula we will have the right to ex
pect better service. Its officers being
our home people are necessarily IL
closer touch with us, will want to pleas
US and will listen to our grievances
which their competitor does not do
when the service is unsatisfactory.

"a Flight From Love-" is the unique
title of the novelette, in Young's Ma
gazine for March. 1t piques the cur
iosity-for why should one flee from
love?
The novelette, is enhancing in it's in
terest and originality. Its plot is found
in a mans eyes-a pair of gray eyes,
half hidden beneath long lashes-such
eyes as one might meet on the street
any day. But the eyes Of the Marquis
were famous in Rome. Women de-
clared they fascinated, hypnotized, sub
jugated. They mentioned with great
mystery the initials of his conquests
and declared that the alphabet was ex-
hausted; that it was necessary to in
vent another. They said his glance
spoke of a love all fire and sweetness
1t repeated Il love you, you please me,
you are beautiful, 1 live for YOU"
But despite the telling glances of his
eyes, the man remained Indifferent

full. cold, proud. She is the loyal wife

ADJUSTMENTS
THOSE OLD. SWEET SONGS

Music hall melodies may come and go
and be forgotten. but Home, Sweet
Home Annie Laurie" 1.-The Suwanee
River "Old Black Joe," and may other
of Stephen Fosters melodies, will live
as long as the English language.
AS these old songs compare with the
new ones, so does the old play with the
modern ones. 1t has survived all others
and will continue to do so until the end
of time. Noplay written has been pro-
duced more artistically, nor anyone
been so butchered by barn storming
companies.
For over twenty years the great mer-
it of the Stetson company has made it
the recognized exponent of Harriet
Beecher Stoves immortal story, and
the name. of Stetson has become to be
almost part of the title. During the
action fthe five acts of the drama all
the old songs will be rendered by solo
singers, trios and quartettes, aided by
chorus of so voices. The StetsOn
company's production this season is
said to excel anything ever attempted.
1t is a play that all can and do enjoy,
and it is the one in which the very old
and the very young take full and last

DIARIES AS COURT RECORDS.

The diary of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,

troduced in evidence by the district
attorney in an indirect attempt to
to very little as evidence but threw
light on two things-the heart of a
mother. VINO would furnish such evil

the mind of the daughter, who would
put on paper such self-revelations.

THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.

That grand, glorious and irrepressi-

who has put a circle of explosives
around the earth and reduced all ma
by mere emission of language, is a pa
triot. He has been forty-seven years
in the navy and in that time has boxed
the compass of objuration backward
and forward. but he knows he cannot
last forever. He knows also there can
not and will not arise a man capable
of defending this country against all
corners by the sheer power of profan-

Sir Evans foresees period of ebb in
the language of the navy, and a conse-

EAST SIDE AGAINST WEST
If Appropriations For State College,
Open River and Penitentiary Are
Not Allowed.

OLYMPIA, March 6.-BefOre the end
of the week legislative attention will
be engrossed with the appropriations
fight and the contest over the new land
bills suggested by the Ross investiga-
ton committee.
The appropriations fight is framing
around a struggle getween the east side
and the west side. The east side house
members held a meeting last night.
preparatory to forming permanent or
ganization. Among other things they
demand: $4,000 for the state col
lege; SIT 900 for the penitentiary and
1925, 200 for the open river project
If these things are not allowed by
special tax levy or otherwise. the east
side members will fight for reductions
everywhere in the budget.
The Ross investigation committee IS
uncertain whether to continue its meet
ings and take more testimony or con-
fine efforts to passing the proposed land
law bills. The lumbermen will fight
these bills.
The committee has until March II to
complete it's work 1t will probably
abandon further investigation, though
deciding to hold a session tonight to
take evidence in the Croft case.
The SUBJ appropriations committees
from both senate and house will be eX-
cused from this afternoons session to
work on the general appropriations bill.
