The new home of Judge and Mrs.
Alvin T. Embrey was the scene of a
most attractive gathering Tuesday
evening, when their daughter, little
Miss Lucy Winn Embrey. entertained
a number of her small friends TO cele-
brate her birthday. All the little guests
brought remembrances for their host
ess, and knowing her especial partiality
for flowers, floral offerings predomi-
mated.
The little ones played aiid danced all
through the spacious rooms TO their
hearts content until time for the great
event of parties. They marched into
the dining room and gathered about the
table, a most attractive one, deco
rated with flowers and candies TO carry
out the red and white scheme, and at
each place was an ice cream Chinaman
bearing a real miniature Japanese fan,
also little favor boxes of candy. The
birthday cake was white, too, in keep
ing with the color scheme, and bore six
red candles.
At five o'clock the guests departed
with bright faces and many expressions
of their pleasant time.

IN MEMORY OF BURTON 3. AcoRs

The family of Henry Acors consisted
of himself, Sallie J. Acors. his wife
and five children, respectively: Edgar
Saille J., Luella, Bette l.. and Burton
b. Acors. OF this family only three
survive, Edgar. Luella and Bette
Lueila and Bette still remain at the
old homestead, where their brother
dwelt with them until his death.
1t is my purpose to say something in
regard TO this family, which | have 80
oiten visited IN former days before the
old folks passed away. For it was al
ways pleasure to behold the faces Of
these kind-hearted people, and TO enjoy
their old fashioned Virginia hospitality
l was always greeted with the warmest
reception and unassuming courtesy. the
remembrance of which will iinger
around the heart. The two girls, who
now reside at the old homestead, are
amiable, kind-hearted and hospitable to
all who visit them and should receive.
as they richly deserve, the sympathy
and admiration of their friends and
neighbors.
The subject of this sketch is Burton

est OF the family, who died March 9th.

80 Tar as ! was able to Judge, he was
prompt in all his dealings with his fell
low man, conscientious and honest to

and neighbors, who feel deeply their

ANTI-SALooN LEAGUE AUXILIARY
Conditions in the City Discussed at
Tuesdays Meeting.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Anti
Saloon League held its monthly meet
ing in the Baptist church Tuesday.
The subject was The Moral and Re
ligious Status of Fredericksburg Under
Prohibition. After devotional exer-
cises Rev. r. A. Williams addressed the
ladies on the topic. AS he had con-
sented at the last moment to speak in
the place of another who was not able
to be present, he said he had not gath
cred statistics from the churches. but
speaking from general observation and
experience in his own church he enum-
Grated certain characteristics of the
moral and religious life of the city at
present that must be largely, if not en-
tirely, attributed to the closing of the
saloons.
Reference was made to the police
court records. which show diminution
of arrests, also 10 the air of satisfac-
ton and contentment which, Mr.. Will
liams said, he could not fail to observe as
his pastoral work took him among all
classes of people. Even more definite
ly attributable to prohibition is the
marked decrease in calls for help from
the poor of the city. Speaking for his
own church. Mr.. Williams said that
those who in the past must be con.
stantly helped because OF the curse OF
drink in their homes were not now call.
ing on the church for assistance. The
increased attendance in churches and
Sunday Schools was also spoken of. as
well as the numerous and effective or
ganizations among men of the various
denominations.
After a charming solo by Miss Bairc
the meeting was open for general dis.
cussion.
Reference was again made to the
police courts, and Miss Conway sale
that the records of the time from Jan.
l TO March 5. 1910, period of nine
weeks, show six weeks in which there
were no arrests for drunkenness, and
"a week days in which there was nc
arrest for any cause Many, however,
especially those living on the edge OF
town, were willing TO testify that the
police court record only partly showed
the marked increase in good order in
our city.
One of the ladies' gave an amusing
