 Porter Gets Dumb Bells


 If yod were the leader of a regular orchestra that could play for anything from a vaudeville show to a memorial service, what would you do if ap- preached by a bright looking young man. who handed you this note:
 @The deaf mutes of the city are going to give a masque ball Friday night and want your orchestra to play. will you arrange a dance pro gran? ?''
 That's the poser that was put up to Samuel Davey, Jr., leader of Poli's orchestra, the other evening. Sam is still busy trying to figure out a pro- gram that will be most pleasing to the deaf mute hosts. To date, he has got only so far as a determination that his fiddle will be muted for the evening.
 John R. Porter, the handsome young drummer in the Poli band, has as sisted Leader Davey by suggesting that his traps will include a set of dumb bells.
 The masque will be held Friday evening in Eagles hall and the deaf mutes are counting on it's being a bowling success

James 7. DObbins Dead


tReynold County OutioOkl
James 7. DobbinS one OF the Oldest
and best known citizens of our coun-
~, died at the home OF his grandson,
James Carter, near Lesterville, on
Monday evening, November 18th,
from heart trouble, at the advanced
age of So years, two months and eight
days, having been born September 9th,
1888. Nearly all of his life he had re-
sided in this county, having moved
here when about ten years of age. In
the early days of the discovery of
gold in California he went to that
state where he renamed for some time.
Upon his return home from the west
he engaged in farming and stock
raising, in which he was very success
full, and later engaged in buying and
selling stock, mercantile and mill
business and buying real estate, which
he was foresig hted enough to see
would greatly enhance in value. His
dealings were always on the square
and by reason of his close application
to business, his honesty and fair deal.
ing he amassed a considerable estate,
variously estimated at 500, 900 to
$3.50 1000.
His wife and children have all pre-
coded hum to the great beyond several
years ago, but he is survived by six
grandchildren, five or six great-chil
dren and a host OF other relatives and
a large circle of friends.
His remains were laid to rest in the
Rayfeld Cemetery on Wednesday
evening, the funeral being conducted
by Hopewell Masonic Lodge, of which
he had long been a member.

ACCORDING to a Swiss doctor who
has just returned home from a %sojaurn
in Germany, the people of that coun-
try are in deplorable condition.
While in Berlin he was one day awak-
ened from an afternoon nap by dis
tregsing sounds on the street near by.
Going to the window of his room, he
saw several hundred people-nearly all
women and ehildren-assembled in
front OF a commissariat. They were
crying for bread-"Give us bread for
our children" They overpowered
the two or three policemen stationed
for the protection of the commissariat,
but found it empty. They then pro-
ceeded to a bakery next door, and
oon the doctor saw them emerging
eating ray dough! They were in
pitiable plight, the women bearing the
appearance of having long been I'M
derfed. A troop of soldiers soon ar
rived and made numerous arrests.
Seventeen women were tried by court
martial and sent to Jail for long terms,
the taking charge of their
children. The wealthy citizens are
confined to plainest diet. Some
articles usually considered necessary
to comfort and health are denied to
all. One pound of butter a week is
the maximum for four persons. This
being the case with them, think of the
suffering entailed upon the poorer
classes! And all for what? To up
hold-in common with all subjects OF
all monarchial governments-the d.
vine right of their overlords to OPP
press, %starve, mutilate and kill at their
pleasure. In the lanuage of Puck

situation that gives cneer to friends
of that long-suffering republic.
Americans, coming from that coun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
eminent there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun. q Re-
publican newspaper, which usually
criticises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the
facts, telegraphed from San Antonio,
Texas, by William G. Shepherd, war
correspondent Of the United Press,
who has been one of the keenest OBJ
servers Of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd back from
long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
a careful survey he reported conclu-
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: Mexico Coming Back
Business Grows Brisk-Confidenc in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up" In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
a dead rubber nation; it's got
bounce in it. A summary OF the
news from the heart of Mexico,
gathered in the last three weeks
along the border from Americans
incoming from Mexico, shows be-
yond doubt that conditions are
improving, confidence in Carranza
is growing, the situation is gain
ing buoyancy, Carranza money is
gaining in value and business lis
picking up.
