ORANGE C0UNTYS CLERKS OFFICE

Fredericksburg. Va, July 26th, 1910.
To The Free Lance.
The writer, while not native of Or
ange county, Va, yet comes from a
family who have for generations lived
in this county and feels an interest in
everything that pertains to the welfare
and prosperity Of the grand old county.
For years this county has had made
auate Accommodations for its Clerks Of
flee and the Court House is not in keep
ing with the growth of the county and
town.
have been all over the State and
there is not a single county that | can
recall that has a more Objectionable
place to work in as a Clerk s Office that
YOU have at Orange. The light and ven
tilaton is horrid and on clear day you
have to drag the books to some one OF
the small windows to enable you to
read, when it is cloudy it is difficult to
get along at all with work in this office.
Spotsylvania county, with her poverty
$50 to speak, has in the past few years
built an up-to-date new Court House
and Clerks office. Orange can do the
same and should not hesitate to do so.
The stranger that visits Orange forms
his opinion Of the conditions in the
county from the appearance Of the pub
lie buildings. If these be up-to-date it
impresses him that her people are pro-
gressive; if otherwise, usually he looks
for brighter field.
The plan suggested by the Board of
Supervisors of your county to issue
bonds for Sl2, 500, payable in twenty
years and redeemable in ten years,
appears to me to be most excellent
arrangement for the county and her
citizens should not hesitate to stand
by the board in this matter, as the
building of a first-class Court House
and county offices will be a money
maker for the county in causing new
comers to settle up her waste lands and
make their homes among their people.
Respectfully,
Lee J. Graves.

A GOOD GAME
ColIegians Defeated White SOx to O

1t was generally conceded that the
game of ball between Richmond Col
legians and White Sox Saturday even
ing at Hanover Park, was the best OF
the season. Ii took eleven innings to
decide the game. Score was to 0 in
favor of Collegians. ,
johnson in box for White Sox pitched
splendidly. The one score of the Col
legians was caused by base on balls
off johnson and a fly to centre field,
which Franklin could not get TO on ac-
count of slipping. The man on second
at the time came in home. Fitzpatrick
was in the box flor Collegians, and 1t
seemed impossible for the White Sox
to land a hit off him, although the ball
was hit hard at times and they either
bunt. foul or were fielded by the Col
legians. Both sides played excellent
ball. The large crowd enjoyed a good
game.
The team under the new management
is playing good ball and should be pa
tronized.

OBITUARY

In loving remembrance of Mrs.
Laura Dulin, who departed this life
July 13, 1910. Thhe deceased was a
lovable Christian character who had
endeared herself to large circle OF
friends and whose home was noted for
its hospitality to all who came within
its doors. Gone but not forgotten.
The midnight stars are beaming
Upon a silent grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming
The one we could not save.
She knows not how we miss her
But OH our hearts are sore,
For we know on earth we'll see
Her kind sweet face no more.
Her life was one sweet sacrifice
For those she loved so dear,
And tho we know she's safe in heaven
Her loss is hard, 80 hard to bear
One more earthly tie is broken
One more heavenly to shine,
To draw our hearts TO heaven
And direct our thoughts to things
divine.
Earth's conflicts are all over
The cross Of pain laid down,
The glorious victory won
She wears a golden crown.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
Where pain and sorrow come nc
more,
And with joy we hope to greet thee
On that bright and heavenly shore
BY One Who Knew her.

Miss Blount is a graduate of the Gin
cinnati Conservatory of Music, one OF
the largest and best conservatorles IN
America.
Miss Helen May Curtis, teacher OF
elocution in the conservatory says OF
Miss Blount, "Her last appearance
here in her original adaptation Of Polly
of the Circus, in which she held an
audience Of five hundred for an hour
and three quarters was really remark
able"
Miss Blount also comes to us very
highly recommended as a vocalist. She
made remarkable progress and is now
qualified for regular professional work
writes Prof. Harold b. Gibbs, Profess
sor Of voice.
Friends of the institution will learn
of this valuable addition to the faculty

pie of Fredericksburg are so apprecl-
ative of good music and elocution, also

study of dramatic art and Frederic ks

Advertising for Maui.

The Daily Advertiser of Honolulu
has had one Of their brilliant special
correspondents circulating through
Maui for the past month in the person
OF H. M. Ayers. Mr.. Ayers has written
some very graphic accounts of the
unfrequented parts of the Valley
isle, and it no doubt has proved
spicy reading for the favored few
who receive the morning paper over
on this side Of the channel. That
Mr.. Ayers had hilarious time en-
tertaining and being entertained
goes without saying. The past week
just before leaving Wailuku for the
metropolis. he resolved to HE him
to the winery at Kaupakalua, and
discover, if possible the secret of
wine making. After the manner of
his Japanese friends, he resolved
to buy a gallon ofthe wine, in order
that he might duplicate the brand
for home consumption. Ayers
guarded his gallon of wine faithfully
till he saw il safely landed in his
hotel. After carefully locking his
door Ayers sat down to contemplate
the fortune he saw in sight manu-
featuring wine. No more newspaper
work; no more horse medicine, but
wine, wine everywhere. In his en-
thusiasm he had neglected to taste
the precious stuff, so now he stealth
lily uncorked the demijohn, and
placing it to his lips, he drank long
and deep. To his dismay he dis
covered it to be-an excellent brand
of vinegar. Gone was the dream of
wealth; gone was the picture of
future greatness; gone was Ayers.

Russians and
Wood Alcohol
A Combination That Does Not Work
Oat Satisfactorily.

Tuesday evening, the Russian
colony at Kahului, not content with
the ordinary activities and excite
ment of the town, started some
thing on their own account. Here
tofore when in need of excitement
the Russians have been content to
drink whisky and gin, but these
light beverages were not, to their
liking, so they acquired some wood
alcohol and proceeded to make
merry.
The party consisted of two women
and one man, and the man is re-
ported to have refused a second
drink of the alcohol, saying it was
too hot, but not so the women. The
first drink to them was only an ap-
petizer, and they got away with a
quart of the poison, before it began
to get in its deadly work. Just how
long the debauch lasted is not
known, but the women were found
unconscious, one dead, and the
other in very precarious condition.
The one who was living was rushed
to the hospital, but died after
several hours of suffering. The
Sheriff was Immediately summoned,
and coroner's jury returned YER
dict of death from poison caused by
excessive drinking of Wood Alcohol.

Champion
Mean Man
He Gets Off with a Small Fine On
Account Of His Family.

Monday last n peculiarly mean
petty larceny case received the at
tention of the Wailuku district
magistrate, that of Joe Medeiros ac-
cused of stealing grain from the
III. G. Il s. Co.'s stables at Camp
One. The way he did it was to
enter the stable after the Chinese
stabeman had put grain in the
managers for the plantation horses,
empty the stuff into bag and take
the plunder home for his own use.
For number of times the stable
man was puzzled to find the man
ger of several stalls empty and the
horses standing by as hungry as if
they never had their grain.
To solve the mystery the stable
man kept a lookout for the un-
known thief but without success
until last Saturday evening when
Joe Medeiros was observed leaving
the stables with a third of a sack
full of grain. He was followed to
his house and was later arrested
and charged with petty larceny.
From the fact that he stole the
grain from under the noses OF hun
cry horses his offenses is conceded
to be the meanest petty offense ever
noted in the annals of the district
court of Wailuku.
Joe Medeiros was arraigned be-
fore Judge Crockett Monday last
and plead guilty to the charge,
claiming that was the very first
time he had picked up some loose
grain lying about the stables, while
his accusers were morally certain
that it was not the first time.
From the fact that the offendes
had family dependent on him fol
support the prosecution asked fol
leniency and the court let him OF
with a fifteen dollars fine, otherwise
a iail sentence would have been toe
light for a man who is so mean as
to steal dumb brute's supper from
under the animals nose. Besides
the court fine the plantation fired
Medeiros from his job.
