1t has been noticed at the Augusta
postoffice that certain people seem to
have acquired the habit of affixing a
one cent stamp to drop letters, that is
letters addressed to parties in the
city. even though the postal laws re-
quire the use of ewo-cent stamp.
Where people get the idea that a one
cent stamp is enough is a mystery, as
no such law has been in force since
the carrier system was installed, and
such letters as have the one-cent
stamp affixed to them will be held for
postage

THE WEATHERWAX BROTHERS
Big Western Lyceum Attraction Coming to Au-
gusta This Season-Great Success Last Year.

Although commanding a price which
equals the amount usually paid for
the entire talent Of the average lyceum
course, the Weatherwax Brothers. who
are one Of this seasons big City hall
entertainment course attractions, are
extremely modest young men and
have never been known to boast Of
their ability.
The country's leading musical crit
les, however, say that they are I'M
questionably the best male quartet
now before the public. Certainly It
will be a rare treat to hear these four
real brothers, all natural musicians
with exceptional voices of a decided
family blend, who after many years
Of constant study and practice have
won for themselves a most enviable
position in the lyceum world.
The Weatherwax Brothers also ap-
pear in a trumpet quartet which COM
mands the admiration of every lover
Of rich and heroic music. Trumpets
are seldom used in this country and it
is q novelty and treat to hear them
played so well.
There are two unusual readers and
impersonators in the company. Lester
Weatherwav in pathos and William
Weatherwax in comedy.
In last seasons course these ia
nous Western entertainers proved one
Of the greatest successes of many
years. 1t is in response to the many
requests that they are returning this
season. They never fail to make a
tremendous hit, for their work is ex-
ceptipnal and their concert unique
from start to finish.

Nathan Pumerantz of New London, on trial in the superior court here since Tuesday, Feb. 2, was acquitted by the jury late Friday afternoon of the charges of arson and fraud brought against him in connection with the fire in his clothing store at New London on the night of Saturday, Dec. IS. 1918.
 The verdict was returned by the jury through Foreman Samuel F. Palmer of Grtswold at 6.10 o'clock, after the jury had had the case since o'clock. Three ballots were taken in that time, but the acqutttal was foreshadowed from the first ballot, it was stated by a juror, ana on the third ballot the fury was unanimous for acquittaI.
 When the verdict was announced Benny Pumerantz, the younger broth CT of the accused, hurried. from the court room to Q, telephone booth in the Corridor of the town hall. from where his voice could be heard in jubilant tones that rang through the building, teIephonlDg the news to New London.

FATHER AmBoT's STORY.
Repeats Fears of Father Zebris When Two Mysterious Men Visited Him,

One of the stories that the police are Investigating in connection with clues to the murders of Rev. Joseph Zebris and his housekeeper at New Britain Is that of Rev. John J. Ambot of Hart ford, who was formerly pastor of St. Joseph's church here. He was q close friend of Father Zebris and was with him the night before his death
 Father Ambot is quoted as follows: Considerable attention had been placed upon the visit of the mysterious strangers late Sunday afternoon before
 my visit to Father Zebris.
 When l saw him he was very ner- vOus and walking up and down before the church. He said that about 6 o'clock two men of another nationality had called upon him and asked him to perform a marriage ceremony They wore long hair and their fingers were ieWeled. Father Zebris told them that they must get the girl, and they promised to return.
 ''He did not see them again and seemed disturbed about the occurrence. It was evident that he considered the matter suspicious but I laughed and joked when I saw he was inclined to worry because they had not appeared. Father Zebris never told me of his fears that the anarchists. biackhanders or socialists against whom he had preached meant to do him harm and if he had warnings that he was in danger he kept them to himself fI knew nothing of the report that he had conided the fear that men whose doctrines he had opposed were after him to the Rev. Joseph Shestokas of New York. He never told his friends here anything of the sort
