Golden Anniversary

Justice John J. Crutehfield, who has
melted out justice 10 the multitude
from the bench OF the police court
for much more than a quarter OF a
century, win quietly celebrate his
hftieth wedding anniversary today at
his home in Forest Hill. Justice
Crutchfeld is probably beloved and
honored bx more people than any
other ono man in Rf2hmnnd. and he
is probably hated by more than any
other one man. He has materially as
sisted in keeping down crime in Rich
fnond for many years. 1t is notably
true that his name and fame are
known from one end of the country
10 the other and criminals of all
classes fear him as do the name OF
justice. His friends will join him in
spirit If not in bodily presence. and
wish him and Mrs. Crutchtield many
more happy years OF connubial bliss
