Mrs. Sallie Robitzsch was horn
in Bradford County, Fla. April
2, 1881, making her stay on earth
thirty two years. Mrs. Ro-
bitzsch was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Smiley. of Luz
dowici. Ga. She was married
to Mr.. Eddie Robitzsch and to
this union were born four chill
dren, Myrtle, Earl, Ovid and
FELTON,. She was a loving
daughter, a kind sister, a de-
voted wife and mother. She
put all her trust in the Lord
and said she believed He had
been with her in all her sor-
rows and joys, in bringing up
her children. She was one of
those characters blessed with
that sweet disposition of gentle
ness and kindness. She bore
all her troubles and illness pa
tiently and never seemed to
worry about anything.

"Mutt & Jeff
In A New Play!

Bud Fishers now nationally
famed cartoon characters, "Mutt
& JEFF" are to re.appear at the
Grand on tuesday Sept. % in a
brand new dress called Mutt &
jeff in Panama - Gus Hill has
given the new book a sumptuous
production from every point of
view. He has had dazzling new
set of spectacular scenery painted
with some very startling mechani-
cal effects and genuine dramatic
thrills. New musical score and
lyrics are furnished by Leo Ed
wards and the ''funny business
IS, of course, from the fertile
brain of Bud Fisher, who knows
better than anyone else what his
brain folks are capable of. The
Offering though new, is not in its
experimental stages, as it had
thorough try-out last season under
the title of "Mutt & jeff" Special''
Its reception was simply an inno-
Vation, but in spite of that fact,
Mr.. Hill spent his entire summer
vacation perfecting the details of
the play which enables him to
offer an entertainment absolutely
perfect in every respect. 1t is sn
acknowledged fact that ''Mutt 6
jeff holds more records for phe-
nomenal business than any other
two attractions in the history of
theatrical entertainment. While
the play has probably been the
best advertised attraction on record
its popularity would not only have
lasted, but increased from year to 4
year, if absolute merit was non
evident. The fortune the play
has made for its sponsors during
the past two wears has simply
been commensurate with its pleas
ing qualifications. For its third
season, instead of reducing the ex-
penses as is usual with some pro-
ducing managers, Mr.. Hill has
made greater financial OUTLAWS thar
on either or both of his former
productions. His confidence In
Mutt & Jeff" and the lasting
qualities of the play and title are
SO strong as to induce him to in
crease his investment rather than
decrease it from year to year. The
universal opinion of press and
public is that, it is the one and on
ly big comedy hit of the show
world.

Value OF Labor.

Labor is a commodity to be bought
ard sold Notwithstanding the maudlin
criticism of some theorists, writes c.
W Post in Leslie's Labor is not the
man himself. whom consider a part
OF the divine. but labor is his output
Just the same as wheat is the output
of the farmer. and It is a subject for
purchase and sale. and upon its quail
!ty depends its demand and its value
There are two kinds of labor, the one
panual and the other mental. When
the skilled workman possesses a train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises In value. and when he reaches q
plane where his mind is so well train
ed that he in turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct he
then requires other hands &c carry
cut his ideas. Then he again rises II
the plane OF value to humanity, and

A World of Ghosts.

A deathly stiffness had all at once

Board Suspends All Penalties For
Time.

Time.
AS a result of the withdrawal of
majority of the fire insurance com.
panies from the rating department Of
the Kentucky acturial bureau so far
as re-rating dwelling houses is con-
cerned, following the adoption by the
state rating board of a schedule re-
ducing the basic rate, the board has
decided to Indefinitely suspend all
penalties for failure to re-rate that
class of risks, and permit the COM
panies to re-rate dwellings as each
risk is written and file a report OF
each transaction with the board. The
following circular letter, containing
this information, was sent out to ths
companies:
You are hereby notified that it is
the sense of the state insurance board
of Kentucky that any penalties i'm

ating this board are not operative un.
