La GRANGE NOTES.

Jones Chapel Missionary Baptist
Church, located four and one-half
miles from town on La Grange and
Bolivar road, held its annual meet
ing December 81. The church prop
erty valued at $500 with member
ship of 1856. The church is running
smoothly under the pastorate of Rev.
II. Branch, of Raleigh, Tenn. The
regular church services are held
every fourth Sunday, paying pastor
S213.C0, and during the year $425
was raised. Rev. Branch was re-
elected fro the coming year. The
Sunday-school was recognized with
Mr.. l.. H. Harvey superintendent,
and Mr.. Win Waddell secretary.
Mr.. Jim Couch, of Grand Junction,
Tenn, and Miss Susie Winston, or
La Grange, were quietly married at
the home of the bride, January 3,
at $50 D. m. Rev. Bill Elroid per-
formed the ceremony. Only a few
friends outside the family witnessed
the ceremony. Mr.. Emanuel Glover
has been on the sick list for several
months. His many friends sympa-
thize with him and try to aid him
/ in every way possible. We are glad
to know Mrs. Victoria Wadley had
discarded the crutch which has been
her companion for several weeks.
/ Mr.. w. Sampson Prewette is sparing
/ no pains and money on his beautiful
cottage which is being erected three
miles out north of town. Mrs Ma
tilda King is suffering greatly from
a severe cold. Zephro Chamber NO
916 is getting along nicely and still
pressing onward and gradually in
creasing in number, with sixty-one
financial members. We have not one
on the sick list, though during the
year 1911 the Crime Reaper took
from us Sisters Lue Hulum and Lu
rinda Halden. 1t is our loss but

THE GENTLE ART OF SHoPLIFT-
ING WORRIES MERCHANTS
OF NASHVILLE.

In a story published in the New
York World recently it is estimated
that the shoplfters of the metropolis
cause a greater loss to the big depart
ment stores of that city each year
than burglars. 1t is estimated that
fully 100000 worth Of goods are
taken from the stores by these per
sons-mostly women, too.
Jut at the present time, right here
in Nashville, the merchants are more
or less disturbed over recent events
in this same line Only yesterday
two shoplifters were apprehended in
a big department store, ard within
the past two weeks in the various
stores of Nashville six of these
clever thieves have been detected.
While, of course, these thefts in
Nashville do not aggregate anything
like those of a similar nature in New
York, at the same time, the aggregate
is sufficient to cause the local mer
chants to "sit up and take notice" 1t
is a sad commentary on the citizen
ship of Nashville, too, that in this
connection the shoplifter is, in ma
jority of cases, member of the So
called better element.
The discovery of missing article
from off the bargain counter, or from
among the better grade of stocks, is
usually made among violent protests
of innocence and threats OF prOsecu-
ton. But all this vanishes when the
stolen goods are produced from be-
meath the cloak or out of the pocket
books or bags carried by the shop
litter, and instead of protests and
threats the miserable shoplifter re
sorts to tears and prayers for mercy,
temptation in the future.
The shoplifter, in majority OF
cases, does not have to steal, and
the politest way it can be explained
among the well-to-do is that the shop
litter is ''kleptomaniac." This eX-
PLANTATION, however, does not lessen
the loss to the merchant.
At this busy season the Nashville
merchants have employed many per
sons who do nothing else except
watch the counters and the customer
who is kno' a as a litter" One
would be surprised to know how many
persons in Nashville are on the "sus-
pected" list-and there are quite a
few. The merchants know them and
they never go into store to make a
purchase that they are not followed
from the time they enter till they de-
part, for in no way can the merchant
be sure that he is not being imposed
upon-and then sometimes they get
away with il"
The policy of thu aepers here
has been to dismiS, shoplifter
with as little trouble a. possible, but
at the same time TO N 'ess upon
her mind-for she is usually woman
that a second offense will mean inn

RACE PAPERS ON THE ADVANCE.

The splendid advance that race
papers have made within the past
few years is eXemplified in the ex-
cellent Christmas numbers that a
number of them issued. These spe-
cial issues were all up-to-date in every
instance, and each carried large vol
ume of advertising.
The New York Age published a 16-
page issue, while its contemporary,
The Amsterdam News, also got out a
very excellent edition. The Indian
apolis Freeman dished up 20 pages
of reading and advertising matter for
its readers, while the Dallas (TeX)
Express set the Southwest a pace by
getting out a big edition. The Pen
sacola (Fla.) Sentinel also published
holiday number, and the Atlanta In
dependent got out a 16-page issue, nine
of which were all advertising. The
Nashville Globe published a 24-page
edition, and the JournalGuide, of Nor
folk, Va, showed it's enterprise by get
ting out a special Issue.
Good news service, interesting arti-
cles,, as well as the advertising, con-
tributed to make these special issues
the best that have ever been put forth.
1t calls attention to the fact that
capable man who makes journalism
a profession Is forging ahead in the
management of race papers.

eminent. Those who oppose the commission government plan are
mainly the corrupt politicians and bosses. The reason is plain. We
have just had two instances-Atlanic. City and Long Branch-of
city governments being overthrow and the commission form sub
stituted because the old system had become SO rotten the people
could endure it no longer. There would have been no relief of this
kind had the Walsh act not become a law. This if often referred to
as one of Governor Wilson's pet measures. The governor, it will be
noticed, is always found on the side of the people against the bosses
and their corrupt machines.
Yes as Hearst's New York Journal says. only facts count. We
can add to the foregoing reform legislation favored by Governor
Wilson, the regulation of cold storage; the substitution of indeter-
inmate sentences for criminal ofenses; the rectifcatiOn Of the
abuses in connection with false weights and measures; the admin
istration reform of the school system and many others had we
space to go on.
Governor Wilson is surely a man who has done things. He
stands on his record in New Jersey and on that record he ought to
sweep the state from end to end, electing the delegates pledged to
his nomination by enormous majorities. If ever we can judge a
man by what he does, Governor Wilson is the man.
