JUST TO PLAY POOL.
Two Negroes Found in Commercial

This morning two negroes called at

confessed to having been the cause of
creating considerable excitement the
night before. They said that they were
indulging in a quiet game of pool when
Secretary George S. Badders and Geo.
McClelland came upon the scene, and
found evidence that something of an

In the first lace the elevator was

the bottom where it should have been.

door wouldn't open. Little did 1 sus-
pect at the time that there were two
men behind it.
Then 1 went back to the kitchen
and when 1 returned the billiard room
door was open four inches. 1 didn't
suspect, either, that at the time en-
tered the room two men were under
the tables. Coming out McClelland
called my attention to the fact that
there was an overcoat and a pair of
rubbers in the elevator, and then l
noticed another coat on the rack.

Every community should have one
of those quiet, earnest citizens whose
greatest interest is the welfare of said
community; one of those men who
will work until 10 o'clock at night on
his own farm so that he may be able
to go out and work the road for pub
lie benefit the next day; who cheer
fully accepts and carefully handles the
| ''thank-you' jobs which are necessary
but unremunerative, who will be
found lighting the lamps and firing up
the stove at a school board meeting,
and wondering if the other members
will find time to attend. A community
without man of this calibre is in
hard circumstances. The management
of the smaller political subdivision
requires the services of at least one
unselfish man.
Stafford county is indeed lucky in
the fact that it numbers among it's
citizens one Sam McComb. He is a
pioneer in that county of plenty of
room and big farms, and the county
is better by reason thereof. When
Stafford county began to raise wheat,
it was Sam McComb who started in
early to assist in the harvest. He
worked like a hound pup in a gopher
hole to save the quick-maturing crops.
At the same time he raised wheat of
his own. and acquired more land.
Now, as one of the prominent men of
his county, he is representing the
Stafford people in the legislature
another one of those 'thank-you"
jobs.
