was fined $40 and assessed with 1883
costs for carrying a concealed weapon.
There Is no record that the State $
claim was ever settled and that
amount remained a lien against his
property in Princess Anne County.
Recently his heirs. trying to sell the
property, found its title clouded by
that assessment and the interest,
which in thirty-three years amounted
to a condderabl figure. Petition was
presented the Governor asking remit

mitted yesterday. The fine and costs
will be paid and the property now

Women have been the health keepers

diet Is always the most healthful and
that a dish need not be costly to be
appetizing. We know that a savory

several pages OF sensational stuff. One

CENSORED LETTER FROM
SOMEWHERE AT SEA"

An interesting story of a perilous
voyage through the Mediterranean
Sea on board a British ship comes
from Miss Ella r. Graham. aBritish
missionary on the way to India. Her
letter is dated Somewhere at Sea"
and bears other marks of the military
censor's hand. Miss Graham says:
We have come on so far safely
and hope to be in - in day or
two We were not allowed to stop
q ---, but passed 100 miles off. at
full speed, in the night, with lights
out. We have one big gun mounted
ready for action, with four gunners
always on the lookout for submarines
life boat drill goes on regularly. We
have all got our mum bers, and at the
given alarm must have our belts on
and be IN our places at once. About
twenty soldiers stand in front OF each
boat. and when il comes down on
level with our deck every second man
seiges it, holds It steady, and every
other man helps us in. The alarm
rang out the other afternoon when
we were all sitting reading, sewing,
etc. Instantly we dropped everything,
flew to our cabins and were in our
places, with life-jackets on, in one
minute We felt quite proud of our
selves. The weather L. calm and
sunny in the Mediterranean, but there
Ia always so much excitement in the
air that it Is difficult for one to set
tie TO reading or work.
We were told quietly last night
after dinner that no one was to go
to he'd, but to he in readiness, and TO
wear all valeia45lsa on uur persons. So
VIZ spent the night In pitch darkness
on deck, each one dressed ready for
instant action, and the boats loosed
and provisioned. But the night passed
quietly, and we were so glad when
the tension was over. Everyone is so
plucky. There is not the slightest
sign of fear or even nervousness in
anyone"

When we think of Good Friday we
think of Hot Cross Buns, and even
though these delicious buns might be
better for us during the cold season,
we want them and must have them
on Good Friday. In some isolated
parts OF England these buns are con-
sidered too sacred to be eaten as food.
They are marked with cross, baked
ana carefully laid away for year
Then they are used only as medicine
to cure various diseases. To eat them
would be considered a sacrilege. How
ever, in the larger cities OF England
they are even more popular than in
America and on Good Friday from
morning until night can be heard the
street peddlers' cry of Hot Cross
Buns"
