Works by Robert Spencer
in the Arlington Galleries

Robert Spencer was born in Har-
ward. Neb., in 1879, and Is therefore
81 years OF age. He did not receive
any prizes worth mentioning until
three years ago, and hen suddenly In
1913 he got the second Hallgarten
prize at the Academy and an honorable
mention at the Art Club In Philadel-
phia. The neXt year the Jennie SEES
nan gold medal was bestowed upon him
by the Philadelphia Academy, and our
own precious institution gave him the
Inncss gold medal. Then in 1915 the
Boston Art Club gave him a medal and
$1,000 for a picture, and h Panama
Pacific International Exposition award
cd him a medal. AS II all this were
not enough he now has n one man

vases leave the Arlington Galleries on

PLAY AT WOODROW

PLOT WAS A MOST INTERESTING
ONE AND MUCH TALENT IS
SHOWN BY PUPILS.

The play given by the pupils of the
Woodrow school. under the direction
of Miss Blanche Choate. the efficient
expression teacher, was big sue
cess, and those present were well
pleased with the efforts put forth by
those taking part.
The plot of the play, Escaped From
the Law" a flve-act drama, was most
thrilling one and the audience was
held spellbound with the close of every
act 90 climax upon climax presented
itself, but relaxed in an easy breath
and a kind feeling as the final scene
came to close when love rules the
world"
The cast of characters was ably
represented by the pupils Of the school
and such skill and talent was dis
played that the play and the acting as
whole would rank higher than an
ordinary amateur performance.

FOUR MURDER CASES
ON DOCKET NOW
THIS JUDICIAL CIRCUIT HAS ONLY
A SMALL NUMBER TO BE
TRIED.

For the FIRST time in many years the
dockets of the circuit court of this
judicial circuit are almost free of
murder cases. This is very gratifying
to Judge Turner and Attorney Gen
eral Frierson. There are few felony
cases of any sort on the docket of
this county and the murder cases have
about all been disposed Of. This is
true of Giles county the second largest
county of the circuit. No murder case
Is on the docket of Lawrence county
and there are only two in Wayne coun.
ty. Conditions have improved very
materially insofar as crime is con.
cerned in the whole judicial circuit in
recent years, due largely no doubt, to
the general suppression of the liquor
traffic.
