METHODIST WOMEN
OPEN REST ROOM
MISS ISABEL ROSS OF HAMP-
SHIRE, FIRST BABY TO
OCCUPY BED.

To little Miss Isabel Ross, of Hamp-
shire, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A,
Ross, goes the distinction Of being the
first baby to occupy the bed at the
woman's rest room of the First Metho-
dist church which opened this morn
ing. The little miss found the bed
most comfortable and from outward
indications thoroughly enjoyed the
novelty of her surroundings. While
she rested under the care of Mrs
Kicks and Mrs. Parks and Mrs. May
berry and the other ladies in charge,
her mother spent the morning shop
ing among the stores of the city
Although its first day there were a
number of visitors to the rest room
from different parts of the county
The women found every possible con-
venient and comfort and every one
who did avail themselves of the OPP
portunity expressed great delight at
the provisions made for their comfort.

SHERIFF GRIFFIN
AFTER GAMBLERS
ENDS ACTIVITIES OF QUESTION.
ABLE SHOWS AT STREET
FAIR,

Sheriff Griffin has ended the activi-
ties of the attractions operating with
a street fair that invaded Mt. Pleas
ant few days ago. The sheriff heard
of some of the mechaninations of
these attractions and dropped down
there to investigate He found that
gambling was being permitted at a
number Of places. He acted with his
usual promptness and closed this
character of shows with the result
that their proprietors sought more
congenial climes. The sheriff's policy
is firm. He will not tolerate question
able attractions. For the reason tina,
the street fairs are all too often in,
tested with this class of shows, the
sheriff has no very lofty opinion of
those institutions, but when they do
come to the county they must obey
and observe the law.

DELINQUENT TAX
LISTS ARE PLACED
WITH CONSTABLES
PENALTIES, INTEREST AND FEES

Lands Upon Which Taxes Have Not
Been Paid Will Then be Advertised
And Sold on the First Monday of

Delinquent tax lists are being sent
out today by Trustee Addison. The
delinquent list this year is smaller
probably less than it has been in sew
eral years, the collections to date in
the trustees office being nearly $20S,
900. Probably, excepting polls, not
more than $4,000 of the taxes of the
county altogether are delinquent at
this time. The major portion of this
sum will be collected by the consta,
bles and deputies in the several dis
tricts.
The constables will be busy during
the coming month with their collec-
tions for they must return their final
reports to the trustees not later than
May 1. Shortly after that date the
trustee will advertise the lands upon
which the taxes are deliquent for sale.
This sale will be made on the first
Monday of June. Trustee Addison
hopes to make a new record on delin-
quent land sales this year as he be-
lieves that the list will be the smallest
ever known
All penalties and interest have &C
crued on the taxes an din addition
those who settle during the coming
month must pay the officers fees.

Large Audience Hears An Able Ad-

] Members of the Parent-Teachers

delighted and enlightened by the able
and exhaustive address that Judg:
Madison Wells, of the juvenile court
Of Nashville, delivered on the rela
] ton of the society to juvenile courts
The auditorium Of Mcdowell school
was comfortably filled to hear tn
speaker who spoke from the expert
ence of several years and whose heart
beats in thorough sympathy with the
subject which he discussed.
Judge Wells spoke in part as fol,
lows:
81 am convinced and | believe that
can convince the mothers of Ten
nessee that prevention instead of cure
should be the paramount object in
the hearts and minds of every indi-
vidual and organization whose object
is the alienation of poverty, ignorance
and suffering among Gods unfortu-
nate poor l have stated on previous
occasions and l repeat here that
have not been able to understand the
wisdom, the justice or the christianity
Of building penitentiaries to punish
adults, erecting reformatories to re-
form juveniles, maintaing expensive
courts to convict both the man and
the boy and paying elaborate fees to
officials and at the same time DELHI
erately and without any perceptible or
concerted effort at prevention, permit
the crop of criminals, dependents, in
sane and feeble-minded people to null
tiply.
81 am fully aware that it is neces-
sary to punish the criminal that it is
both wise and desirable to reform the
child who is hayward, that courts do
their duty in making convictions, that
it is christian to care for the insane
and minister to the feeble-m minded, but
can present facts and figures to any
any time anywhere that
will prove beyond the shadow of
doubt that it costs less in both effort
and money on the part of society to
prevent the production of ten crimi.
nails, insane or feeble-minded people
than to care for. cure or reform one
after he has been produced.
''In order to illustrate the point |
make, l enedavored to follow some
