Thomas J. Short

Mr.. Thos. ]. Short, a highly re-
spected citizen of Reds Grove, died
Sunday, April 9, at o'clock a. m.
Several years ago Mr. Short was para
lyzed, from which he never fully re-
covered, but could walk around for
a short distance, and seemed well
otherwise, until last winter, when he
suffered an attack of grip. He SEEM
ingly had gotten over that, but few
days previous to his death he was
taken very much worse, and continu
ed to grow weaker, until his death.
Mr.. Short was So years and 1 day
old. He was the son of Eben l..
Short, who was one Of the most
highly respected citizens of Vienna
district in his day, and was one of
the first growers of Strawberries on
a large scale in this section, from
which he made considerable money.
The son, Thos. J. Short, seemed to
inherit the disposition of his father,
which was a very pleasant one, al
ways of a lively disposition, which
won for him many friends.
Mr.. Short leaves a widow, who is
a sister to the Rev. Winfield Marine,
of the Wilmington Conference; one
brother, VIM. D. Short, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Thos. H. Webster.
The funeral services were held in
the NJ. e. Church at Reds Grove.
and were conducted by his pastor,
Rev. j. w. Hudson, of Vienna. In
terment was made in the cemetery at
Reid's Grove.

Because of the cold weather, the

nance even more remarkable. For
this reason, too, it is a little early to

ent positions, though there are sew
eral who seem practically fixed.

High School faculty and students
that the team should have uniforms

REPORT OF MONEY
COLLECTED FOR BELGIANS
Seven Cents Will Feed Belgian a
Day-HOw Many Persons Spend
Carelessly And FoOlishly This
Amount Daily.

In response to the request of the
Belgian Relief Committee, 1 under
took the sale of Belgian Relief Flags,
the price of each being seven cents,
which is the cost for caring for a
Belgian a whole day, and I succeed
ed in selling a considerable number
of them, and believe that more per-
sons would have bought had they
realized the fact that there are thou
sands upon thousands of destitute
old men, women and children in that
stricken country, who are totally in
capacitated for earning living:
hundreds and even thousands of
these must necessarily die unless the
great, wealthy and prosperous coun
try, the United States, furnishes food
and sustenance for them.
l have in hand to send to the Re-
lief Committee the sum of s23.24,
which was raised as follows
Christ Episcopal Sunday School
and Church, $1041
Grace NJ. f. Church, $3.50.
Flags sold Woman's Club and 9TH
ers, 1923.
l still have on hand 1872 flags,
which l shall be very glad to sell and
anyone desiring to help this good
cause can get one at my home or at
Hurley & Williams store.

Mr. Herney Creighton, of Fishing
Creek, met with an accident Monday
while out in his gasoline boat, that
came very near being fatal. His
sleeve got caught in the engine and
he was thrown with such force that
his arm was broken and his head
cut Capt. John Dean happened to
see the accident and hurried to the
boat and managed to stop the engine
and release Mr.. Creighton.
A fire which broke out this morn
ing between four and five o'clock, at
the Belair farm of, Mr.. T. Clinton
Ross, situated on the State road, be-
tween Mt. Holly and East New Mar
ket, completely destroyed the stables
and outbuildings and burned
horse, a COW and calf, and number
of farming implements, belonging to
the tenant, Mr. Short. Neither Mr..
Ross nor Mr.. Short had any insur-
anee on the burned property.
The indications that spring house
cleaning is at hand may be seen upon
all sides, and while the good work is
going on, the gardens, yards, fences
and outbuildings should not be for
gotten. The removal of all rubbish,
including weeds, old tin cans and
similar things not only insures
much better appearance, but is
partial guarantee against sickness
and mosquitoes. Clean up, use lime,
white-wash and paint plentifully, and
enjoy the satisfaction that comes
from knowing that your back yard is
not a menace to the health Of your
own family or your neighbours.

SUGGESTS THAT STORES
CLOSE FOR SUNDAY
A Number of Business Men Think
That Business Houses Might Close
For an Hour or Two Monday.

1t is not often that Cambridge has
the opportunity Of having man of
the national reputation of the Rev
erend Billy Sunday come to it as he
is coming next Monday, and while
there are. undoubtedly, many people
here who do not agree with his ideas
about the presentation of religious
subjects. there are a great many who
do agree with him, and who are
wholly in sympathy with the work he
is doing. Then, too, there are many
others who do not know just where
they stand upon the question; they
have not seen or heard him, and have
not had the means of forming an
opinion of him or his methods from
personal contact. In all of these
classes there are very large number
of people who will welcome the
chance of seeing and hearing him
next Monday, and i'll order to afford
them the means of taking advantage
of this opportunity it has been sug-
gested by number of the business
men that the stores be closed from
II a. m. until p. m, or from II
o'clock noon until 2 p. m.
This is matter for the business
people to decide; no doubt many of
them would like to hear Billy, and
they undoubtedly have many persons
working for them who would like to
do SO. To close for two OF three
hours would not greatly inconveni-
ence them or interfere with business,
and it would give many persons an
opportunity of seeing and hearing
Billy Sunday. who otherwise will
never have it. Even if a business
man does not want to go himself, he
certainly would not want to keep his
employees from going.

ONE POUND OF ORE YIELDS
 NINE DOLLARS IN COLD

OATMAN. Aug. 27-One pound of roek-it does not matter from what property it came, so long as it was from the Oatman district-yielded over g worth of gold yesterday when pulverized for assaying at the office Of F. O. Altinger. The first extraction amounted to over half an ounce in eight. but Mir. Altinger stated thar when refined the gold would amount 10 slightly more than g. Then the
 lings were worked down and con- tained something over 2 more in fine gold
 An assayer's relations with his GUS toner are inviolate and the latter's identity and that of hi sproperty must not be divulged. This is case mere. ly to show that there is high grade in the Oatman district and as long as it is here it does not really matter hat property it comes from.
 The s7 amount was run into but ton and the tailings banning. while being worked down in the afternoon, 10 say the least, were inspiring.

They left last night to return to the camp. What their punishment will be for the escapade is problematical It is said the soldiers came to Tucson by automobile. telling he drivers Of the machine to return to headquarters and collect from the major for their transportation. This is said to have called forth dire threats rom regimental headquarters which augur i'll for the absentees.
 The charge against the guardsmen merely that of being absent without leave" the men not being classed as deserters until they have been absent from camp for ten days.

THE WOULD-BE CRITIC

In every community there is wOud-be critic whc apparently but little good n anything that is Gone by others He is not knocker. for knocker does lot criticse-he out at-fOoted and denounces things because they not done his way.
 But the wouldbe critic sails under false coors and would have others believe that his knowledge is much greater than theirs and that he is the fOntan cad If wisdom.
 He the virtues-in truth he never looks for them-he is constantly seeking for flaws And from q mole hole he would make mountain He is always searching for bemshes and defects, and has the pure and chaste.
 This we'll illustrated by Edgar Allen Poe when he said:
 'Baccani tells that Zoius presented Apollo very caustic criticism upon very admirable book; wLereupon the god asked him for the beauties of the He replied that he only busted himself about the On hearing this Apollo, handing him sack of unwin- nowed wheat bade him pick all the chaf for his ward"
 So when you meet would be critic, kindly remember that he belongs i'll the pessimists' class.

What will probably fall as bomb among the bootlegging fraternity of Cochise county. especially those who are awaiting trial under all the way rom three to as many as twenty cases was the sentence meted out this morn ing in the Superior Court to four of the defendants who have been found guilty.
 O. $. French, Frank Brady. Otto Bruehne and Gus Wilde were the four who were sentenced this morning by Judge Lockwood. and each received fourteen months in the county jail. and a fine of s300. and were remanded back to the custody of the sheriff There are several more to be sentenced with in the next few days.
 Probably the record for trial and conviction occurred this morning in the case of the State vs. Frank Brady, for selling liquor. His case was start ed at 2 o'clock. and by eleven he had been tried, convicted and sentenced, breaking the record for convictions as far as Cochise county. and probably the rest of the state is concerned
 The sentence of the convicted men has been expected since Saturday when Judge O'Connor. in the Superior Court of Santa Cruz county, ruled against the application for the release of o. s. French under a writ of habeas corpus. ad it came today in the form of 14 months and $500.
 Last evening 1t took the jury less than two minutes to find Gus Wilde guilty of selling liquor. and he was among those sentenced this morning. His trial was on the entire day, and WAS the one which brought out the | point whether or not the certified copies of retail liquor license could be brought ito evidence without the seal.
 Tomorrow two cases will come uI for trial. one against John Williams Of Bisbee. and the other against John Sawey. both for selling liquor.

BROTHERS ARE UNITED
 AFTER 1s LONG YEARS

GLOBE, Aug. 27.-After travelling for many thousands of miles, two brothers were reunited yesterday by an accidental discovery made in the l40O foot level of the Old Dominion mine. The two men. Elise and MoJOT- ani Verisovitz, have been separated for eighteen years and their meeting here underground, is twist of fate that bears out the old adage that truth is stranger than fiction"
 Elise Verisovitz left his home in Kafodar. situated on the bank Of the Terherna river in Seryia. just eigh- teen years and three months ago, to seek his fortune in the mystical and far away land of America. After many adventures and hardships. the wanderer finally landed in Butte. Mont, where he obtained employment as a mucker Here the exile worked for a number of years, sending regular remittances to his parents in Kafodar. Mojorani. a younger brother. al ! length attained his majority and de sided to seek out his brother. from whom sums of money. the like of which was not be earned ia Katoda. were received at regular intervals.
 Upon his departure. the venture some youngster was given a locket of peculiar design by his mother, re- plica of which had been presented to Elise when the latter left so many years before.
 Moiorani made his way to Butte. but his brother was not to be found. having left some time before The younger brother then secured a posi- ,xchequer. For a number of years Iojorani sought word of Elise. who Nad apparently vanished of the
 phere.
 Later the younger brother made his
 .ay to Globe. As he was shovelng Jre yesterday he noticed a man eyeing
 he locket which he wore around his neck. At length the observer spoke. spent a number of years in Peru.
