PACKET OF LETTERS
CAUSES THRILLS GALORE
Eleventh Episode in Film Serial
at Strand Theatre Monday.

Thrill follows thrill in the eleventh
episode of Pathe's big serial, "The
Neglected Wife," announced for an
engagement at the Strand Theatre on
Monday. The title of this episode is
"a Reckless Indiscretion," and it deals
with the attempt on the part of Doyle,
the disbarred attorney, to steal COM
promising letters written by Kennedy
to Margaret and the brave attempt of
Margaret and Norwood, who is igno-
ran of the nature of these letters to
recover them.
Having rescued Margaret from a
mysterious yelled woman, Mary warns
Margaret to give up her husband.
although you have saved my life, do
not take my only happiness away from
me-" she says and Margaret, who
seems to be almost hypnotized by Ken
nedy, promises to try.
Kennedy, anxious over Margaret's
safety, calls to see her. Finding her
packing her trunk, he questions her.
II am going out of your life" Kenne-
dy convinces her that she belongs to
him, and Margaret, after a resistance,
submits to Kennedy's embrace. Ken
nedy warns Margaret that they will
have to be more careful, as Mary is
becoming desperate.
Doyle sends one of his gangsters to
secure a job as hall boy in Margaret's
apartment, so he will be able to steal
the letters written by Kennedy to Mar
garet. Wilkins enters Margaret's room,
and searching for the letters, becomes
alarmed by Margaret's entrance. Say
ing that he smelled smoke, Wilkins ex-
cuses himself. Having secured the
letters, he rtlshes to Doyle.
Kennedy is nominated to run for
congressman. Mary receives another
note from the yelled woman, saying
briefly, Remember he ruined my life,
l am going to punish him." Becoming
frightened, Mary decides to keep a
close watch on Kennedy.
Discovering that she has lost her
letters, Margaret rushes to Norwood
and asks his help, telling him that she
has lost some valuable papers. Nor
wood agrees to aid Margaret. Marga-
ret noticing Wilkins on the street, fol-
lows him. Following Wilkins, Nor
wood and Margaret are led to Doyle's
hut. Through the window, Margaret
sees Doyle with letters in his hand.
Wilkins, disputes the price he is to
receive and a fight ensues Norwood
draws a revolver, and commands Doyle
to return the letters. Doyle hands
Norwood the letters. Accidentally the
gun goes off, striking the lamp. A fire
starts. Attacked by Doyle and his
gangsters, Norwood is struck on the
head, and left unconscious on the floor.
Margaret runs for assistance.

DO You Like Food With Your Meals?

George AIDE has a great fable in
slang in September Cosmopolitan. If
you like food with your meals, you will
smile your way through this latest
whimsy of Indiana's philosopher hui
morist.
This is the bill of fare of the Stuff
ers, according to George AIDE: Four
teen to sixteen Spare-ribs smothered
with Kraut, four or five Helpings of
Fresh Vegetables, a few light Biscuits
inlaid with gold Butter, and possibly a
quarter of a mile of Noodles, spiced
Peaches, frosty Doughnuts, a little
quart bowl of preserved Cherries, to
say nothing of Coffee curdled with
Cream, etc.
If you haven't an appetite and you
want to work up one, or if you have an
appetite and cannot afford to satisfy it,
read this Fable, which is as good as a
square meal.

Miss Alberta Adams WEEDS
Edward T. Stephenson

Miss Alberta Adams, charming and
accomplished daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elwood Adams, and Mr.. Edward
T. Stephenson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Stephenson, were quietly
married by Rev. S. R. Stratton at the
Baptist parsonage last Wednesday
evening at 7.15 o'clock in the pres
ence of the immediate families, after
which they left for the Adirondacks,
where they will spend several weeks
of their honeymoon. Both the young
people are prominent and popular,
and doubtless will be given a cordial
reception upon their return by their
many friends, to all of whom the
news of their marriage will be a COM
plete surprise, although their engage
ment was widely known, not one of
their friends was given the slightest
intimation of their approaching mar
riage.

Plowshares Now being Used as sword.

~oN1 80 1S
Editors Pleasantville Press
Fifteen tons of old plowshares form
ed a part of a recent shipment of junk
iron across the Atlantic, to be Used by
battling Europe in the manufacture of
her deadly slaughter weapons.
Whenever this question of plow-
shares and swords is brought up, one
frequently hears quoted the familiar
words: "They shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more" Isaiah 2:
1. By multitudes, these words are ia
ken as the Scriptural basis for the
hope of a coming perpetual peace and
disarmament among the nations; but
such a view is the result of most super
fetal reading. Careful observation
discloses the fact that these are merely
the 'sayings"-the words and wishes
and prognostications-of the people"
in the last days." recorded in advance
as another token of Gods f%oreknowl-
edge, and a further evidence that we
have reached the last days. (Read
Isaiah 2: 2-4.) The fulfllment may
readily be seen in the multitudinous
leagues to secure and pe%rpetuate peace,
and the numerous pleas for disarma-
ment heard on every hand.
But the same God who foretold what
the nations would be saying in these
last days, predicted also what they
would be doing; and in the light of
this, the shipment of plowshares is in
cidentally interesting. But of special
import is the world-sweeping prepared
ness movement. and the feverish prep
aration for war, and the awakening of
all nations, both mighty and weak, in
preparation for earth's last conflict.
Prepare war, wake up the mighty
men, let all the men of wal draw near;
let them come up: beat your plow-
shares into swords, and your pruning
hooks into spears: let the weak say I
am strong. Let the heather be walk
ened, and come up to the Valley of Je-
hoshaphat: for there will l sit to Judge
all the heather round about. Multi
tudes, multitudes in the valley of de-
cision: for the day of the Lord is neal
in the valley of decision" Joel 3: g.

INCREASE IN
TAX VALUES
20 Cents on Wild Land, $3.50
on Cultivated Land, and $ll
Per Head on Cattle.

The State Board of Equalization
has ordered the assessment on
all wild land increased in this
county from an average of S.. 80
to 81 per acre, aud on all cultivat.
ed land from 40 average of $5.35
to IS per acre. On cattle, the in.
crease will be from $I4 to S25 per
head. While this increase will
materially add to the assessed
values OF the county, the real es.
tate assessment is still ridiculously
low. The increase on the assess.
ment of cattle is about a Just valu.
alton.
The Board of Supervisors is
making commendable increases on
personal property where the tax
payer has shameIessly placed his
assessment so low that be is prac.

LONG SESSION.
Supervisors May Remain on Job
Entire Month.


The Board of Supervisors may
be forced to remain In session the
entire month of August. because
of the new ruling. of the State
Equalization Board.
The state board has decided to
increase the assessment on all real
estate, except where 1t will exceed
the actaal value of the property
assessed. III other words, the
board believes that the real estate
of the state has not been assessed
during past years at more than half
of Its real value, and 1t Is endeavor-
Ing to get It up to Its full value,
which Is nothing more than justice
to the few who have been assessing
their property at full value.
This will require long, tedious
session of the Board of Supervis-
0Ts, IS every assessment will have
to be considered, and at least two
thirds of them raised.
The tax payer who knows that
he has assessed his land for all 1t
Is worth had better appear before
the board and show cause why
there should be no increase in his
assessment.

The result was that 48 men were
rejected physically; 73 passed
satisfactory physical examinations
and make no claim for exemption;
So passed physical examinations
and make claim for exemption, and
3 who were absent from the county
were examined elsewhere.
This gives Claiborne county a
record which we believe will be
above the average in point of
loyalty.
