We HAVE ALL the TRIMMINGS
Some Good Reasons Why Hope Should be
Desirable Place for Permanent
Residence.

That Hope is a social commun-
ity no one will doubt after a
glance at the list of secret and
semi-secret societies which have
a being and thrive to agreater or
less extent within her confines.
The Masonic society is repre-
sented b Y the subordinate or
Blue" lodge, and the Eastern
Star, while Odd Fellowship has a
large membership n both t h e
subordinate lodge and tn wo-
mans auxiliary, the Rebeccas.
Then there are the Knights of
Pythias and eWoodmen. While
t h aforementioned organiza-
tions are not exclusively mems
societies, still we believe that
men dominate their acts very
largely. Then we have, for wo-
men only" the Woman's Club,
whose principal mission, as the
writer understands it, is to back
up" the men in all laudable eff.
fort for the advancement of the
community in material as we'll as
social ways; t he new Woman
Suffrage Club, which has but re.
Gently come into existence, and
whose chief if not sole aim is to
advance the cause of the equality
of sexes at voting times, for of
course none Of them will admit
for a minute that they are not
Just a leetle" more than t h e
equal of any man in all other re-
Spects at all other times; and the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, whose excuse for being
every one knows, and who them
selves r gradually discovering
that While prayer and moral sua-
sion may go far in redeeming a
man from the booze habit, there
are still other methods of war
fare which they may consistently
use-and which they are using
with splendid results. There
would seem to be a society to
suit about every taste and need,
but if you cannot find it in the
above list, what is the matter
with the churches? Several de
nominations are represented
here, and all of them are headed
by clean, conscientious, brainy
men, who are constantly on duty
and contributing to their utmost
to the general betterment of the
community. Yes, while not a
big town, Hope is an exceed
ingly social and moral commun
ity, and a mighty good place to
live in. Come and try it,

In the first and second trials of Claude
Allen. the younger Of the two condemned
Carroll county clansmen, probably will
seriously handicap his counsel In their
proposed appeal OF his case to the United
States Supreme Court on the ground that
his life was twice placed in jeopardy for
the same offense.
That these particular records were
missing from the papers on file in the
state supreme court was discovered by
D. C. O'Flaherty of counsel for the AL
lens.
O'F1aherty is fearful that the appeal
cannot be taken to Washington for the
reason that there is nothing now to show
that they were before the state supreme
court, even though a copy Of the missing
papers be procured from the original
records at Wytheville.
How the papers happened to disappear
from the records in the state court is as
much Of q mystery as ever. It Is be-
lieved, however. that they were lost by
the messenger Of the governor when that
officer was engaged in passing on the
