Subscribers Lost.

A short time ago our cabinet
containing card records of names
of subscribers, dates of sub
scriptions due and paid, was
pied and otherwise disar-
ranged, since which time we
have been unable to find a num-
Der of these date cards, and
hence do not know how much
is due, if anything, by these
lost subscribers. To illustrate:
ii. H. Rosenbaum and Mr..
Brinegar came in to pay their
subscriptions; their cards could
not be found. and we did not
know how much they owed.
Being honest men, they said
they were getting the paper
right along, and owed for it, and
were able to fix about the
amount due us, and paid up ac-
cordingly. There are others, and
we will have to trust to their
honesty. All these subscribers
have receipts, probably checks,
giving dates of last payment.
Please look these up and help us
out of trouble. Accidents will
happen, and we find that this
one has given us trouble.
Please look up your last receipt
or evidence of payment and send
in settlement and we will thank
you. If you receive no bill from
us, and are getting the paper
you may know your card is lost,
unless you have recently paid
us. Editor.

UNCLE SAM AFTER
BANKS OFFICERS
Indictments Returned in Washington
Against BhuefeId Men, Who VIII
Have to Face Serious Charge.
Bluefield Telegraph, April 2:

Bluefield Telegraph, April 2:
From information received
here yesterday it seems that the
indictments against Messrs.
Smith, Harne, and Mollehon,
officers and directors of the
"busted" Fidelity Bank of this
city, which were returned by
the federal court at Washington,
are the most serious charges
those men have been called on
to face in connection with the
failure of the bank. The failure
of this bank and the events in
connection with it, the men who
were its officers and the parts
they played in the smash, and
what they are supposed to have
raked in as a result of the fail
ure, together witt. the indict-
ments and other proceedings
that have been discussed, are
all matters of common know
ledge in this city.
Indictments are now hanging
over the men mentioned above
in the criminal court of this
county, and the cases are set to
come up this month. The news
from Washington that indict-
ments had been found there was
widely discussed yesterday, and
led to the discovery that Henry
T. Woodward, of Washington,
had purchased a certificate of
deposit for $1,000 made by the
Fidelity Bank from E. w. Molle-
hon, a director of the institution.
The purchase was made in
Washington, and Smith was said
to have been there at the time.
There was no deposit as the
certificate represented in the
Fidelity Bank. In other words,
Mr.. Woodward got a fake certif-
icate, but as it was made by
the officers of the bank, signed
and certified, the officers are
therefore considerably in for it,
if reports are true.
1t was not learned which court
will try the men first, but it was
expected that they will come
back to Mercer for trial, and
then after that be tried in
Washington.

He Didn't Say 1t.

Prof. j. ID. Brown, Principal
of the colored school at Graham,
says he didn't say any such
thing-that is, he didn't hold
up Jack Johnson as a model, in
his speech before the Tip Top
colored school, but just the
opposite, as reported in the
Bluefeld Telegraph's Graham
news. Glad to know it. Any
man who would hold up such a
moral reprobate and bully as
that sorry negro, Jack Johnson,
is unfit to teach dogs to drive
cattle.
Mr.. Brown, On the other
hand, warned the students at
Tip Top against taking such a
character as Johnson as their
hero.

Death of Mrs. Murrell.

Pocahontas. April 3.-Mrs.
Rebecca Jane Murrell, daughter
of Joseph and Mary Gautier,
was born near Burke's Garden,
Tazewell county, Virginia,
October 25, 1S4S, and departed
this life in Pocahontas, Va,
March 26, 1918, being Ga years,
5 months and l day old. In early
childhood her parents moved to
Giles county, where she spent
her girlhood and n good portion
of her womanhood. Mrs. Muir
rell was thrice married first to
William S. Wilburn in 1866. To
this union four children were
born-Mrs. William S. Kabrick,
of Blacksburg, Va, Mrs. CASTOR
&: Galloway, of Graham, w. o.
Wilburn, deceased and Lewis,
who died in in fancy. The
second union was to Henry G.
Dennis in 1879, and to them
were born three children: Mrs.
Minnie Geisen, of Pocahontas,
James Dennis, of Albany, N. Y. {;
and George Dennis, deceased.
The third union took place in
the year 1895 to James II. Muir
rell, of Tazewell county, who
preceded her by several years to
the last resting place.
Mrs. Murrell was converted at
the age of thirteen at the Old
Wabash Camp Ground in Giles
county, at which time she united
with the M. Il. church, South,
and ever remained within its
pales, living an exemplary
Christian life until she was told
it was enough, come up higher.
Mrs. Murrell came to Poca-
hontas in the eighties, and has
lived here ever since. No one
knew her but to like her. and
her death removes not only one
of the best, but one of the best
known of Pocahontas people.
Her funeral was held at the M.
p. church here Friday, March
Ioth, conducted by her pastor,
Rev. G. X. Wingo, assisted by
Rev. j. S. Montgomery, of the
Presbyterian church; Rev. w.
X. Hickman, of the aptist
church, and Rev. w. M. Minter,
of the Christian church, all of
whom paid loving tributes to her
worth and Christian character.
Her remains were taken to Giles
county for interment by the side
of her first husband, accompanied
by Rev. Mr.. Wingo and members
of the family. The words of
Rev. Mr.. Wingo's text were 80
appropriate in her case: MARK
the perfectaman and behold the
upright. for the end of that man
is PEACE" for her going was
peaceful, as one who wraps
the drapery of his couch about
him and lies down to pleasant
dreams. N.
