Marriage Mixes Relations

The following is taken from the
Graham Daily News correspondent of
the Telegraph. The newspaper man
mean enough to spring such puzzle
as this in July weather deserves to be
swatted. However try your hand on
this puzzle:
Rev. ABB. Hunter was called on at
the parsonage at 8 80 last evening to
unite in marriage good looking
couple who came down from Tip Top
on No. 6 for no other purpose than
to get married. The groom was Will
liam G. Saundres and the bride was
Miss Rosa Norman Sandres, and there
by hangs puzzle that promises to
send as many subjects to the asylum
if an effort should be made to delve
into the relationship of the contract
ing parties as went bug house over
How old is Ann?" We simply state
the case, and let you figure it out.
The groom is son of the brides
mothers nGs6aaI Us 5i5ai and the bride is the
daughter of her husband father -.
wife. The wife's mother is the moth
erinlaw of her husband, and the hus-
band is the brother in law of his
wife. Now what kin is Mr.. Sanders
to his wife and vice versa?

The Baby Show

The Superintendent of the Argicul.
tural Department proposes n baby
show as one of the distinctive fca-
lures of the Fair next September. lie
has spoken to n number of mothers
who have the prettiest babies in the
wolrd, and all are heartily in favor OF
such an exhibition. A premium will
be awarded the prettiest baby on the
ground, from the cradle to two and n
half years old. Not the finest dressed
baby, not the largest, but the prettiest
baby, will contest for the premium.
The day and exact hour for the judg-
ing will be fixed later. The most i'm
portant product of the county is not
it's bluegrass, horses and cattle, but
it's boys and girls, its men and wom-
en-. This is the country's most impor-
tant industry and product, and in ev-
cry possible way the youngsters
should be brought to the front and
given chief place in all our calcula-
tions. So, look out for this baby show.

LAMBERT KILLING
STILL A MYSTERY
Young Man Shot Near Ce-
dar Bluff, But Who Fired
Shot is Not Known.

Thomas Lambert, young man,
about % years of age, son of james
Lambert, was shot and killed last
Saturday night late in the night, on
the works not far from Cedar Bluff,
and not far ffrom the place where his
cousin, Grover Lambert lost his life
some months ago.
Details are meager, and conflicting.
Up to this writing it does not ap-
pear certain who fired the fatal shot
which ended young Lambert's life.
Commonwealth attorney Crockett
and Sheriff Harman visited the scene
of the crime, and from Mr.. Crockett
and others, the facts so far obtained
are about as follows:
Tom Lambert and Arch Payne were
together, both under the influence of
liquor, on Saturday afternoon and
night. They became boisterous and it
was considered necessary to arrest
them. Mr.. A. A. Mcdonald, detec-
tive, and man said to be named Bar
bour, went after the young men and
found them both riding one horse
Lambert in front and Payne behind.
Lambe rt refused to get down, and
while the officer was pulling him from
the horse the shooting occurred. 1t
was very dark, and no one seemed to
know who shot Lambert. The bullet
struck in the top of the head in front,
ranged downward into the face, it is
said. Lambert lived only short time.
The burial took place Monday. 1t is
not claimed that the above statement
is absolutely correct, for the reason
that no one can be found who seems
to know. Mcdonald denies, it is said,
that he shot, in fact, report says he
had no gun. Another report is to the
effect that Mcdonald shot Lambert,
after Labmert had shot him.

Important Appointment

Mrs. LA. Tynes has been appoint

Sunday School Convention Note.

Sunday School Convention Notes
The editor had his home during the
convention with the Methodist pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Hall. He met there Mr.. w.
j. Lester, of Paint Lick, the supervi-
sor in Maiden Spring district. Mr..
Lester is interested in Sunday School
work, being superintendent of his
home school. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall are
delightful people. They are popular
at Cedar Bluff. The editor is highly
appreciative of the courtesies shown
him.
A spirited and red hot address was
made by Rev. CIR. Brown, on "How
to Stop the Leak The unpleasant
fact vas tTG,, - Sdt, St that the sthoolls Is
of the country lose three out of four
of the pupils in their teens How to
hold the boys in the school is a prob
lem. Much, if not the most depends
upon the teachers tact and consecra-
tion. said the speaker.
One thing some people learned at
the convention was, that they didn {
know the Ten Commandments, and
prominent Sunday School people, too.
Truth seems to be, that many Sunday
School people know as little about the
Bible as outsiders. Suppose you test
it. How many passages of scripture
can you quote from memory, giving
chapter and verse?
1t is said that figures don't lie.
They do not when correctly given.
But there's the rub. 1t seems an i'm
possibility to get correct Sunday
School figures. Some schools do not
keep record, and when asked for a
statement, guess at it. 1t is necessary
to keep correct books. The work of
the association will be greatly helped
along if we can get the facts and fig
ures exact.
One of the incest, coolest and most
inviting places in the whole country,
is the Blue Sulphur Inn and grounds.
1t is alive with a crowd of people all
the time.

vention was Mr.. j. o. Corell, of
1 Thompson Valley, who is superinten-
dent of a school at Buchanan school
