WON'T TELL WIFE TILL ToEAY
Hollis Fatherin-LaW Fearful of Effect
on Daughters Nerves

Dallas, Texas, July CT shall not
tell her until morning" was the com
ment made by the Rev. o. F. Sensa-
baugh, father-in-law of Frank Holt,
when informed tonight of the death
of Holt in the prison at Mineola, l.. /.
Mrs Holt, who has been under con
stant care of physicians and memb-
ers of the family since the first news
of the shooting of ]. u. Morgan on
Saturday, left the house for the first
time this afternoon, going out with
her father for a long drive through
the country in the hope that it would
strengthen her somewhat.
Her condition has caused much al
arm, and fears have been entertain
ed that she might have a nervous
breakdown as the result of the trials
of the last few days. DR. Sanas-
baugh said;
"Of course, we are terribly sorry to
hear of Franks death, but there is
little can say"

POOR PATRIOTISM
Flag Pole Halyards Cut by Thought
less Boys.


Editor of The Banner: Our South
SALISBURY boys have a very strange
way of showing their patriotism.
In the village school yard is a fifty
foot fiagpole the gift of a good old
public spirited citizen, the late Geo.
p. Montgomery ON Sunday night
some boys after ringing the school
bell, cut the halyards SO that it was
impossible to fly the Stars and
Stripes on the most important day of
the year. OF course we are glad they
didn't chop down the pole and put it
on the bonfire.
AS the law requires all public
schools to fly the United States flag
our school directors will have the
pole taken down, new set of hal
yards put in and spole raised.
This wouldn't be so bad but prob
ably next Halloween some smart
person with a sharp knife win cut
them down again.
