tfarm and Rauch.)
How many people can tell what is
the tI slgniilcance in their entirety of
the red, white and blue of the Amer
lcan flag, the national colors? It is,
OF course, generally understood that
one star represents each state includ-
ca IN the Union and that the first
iiaag contained 13 stars, representing
10 origIna!! states. The designers of
that the red stripes represent tho
bloodshed necessary to establish us
MS a nation. The white is indicative
OF the purity of our constitution and
our form of government. The blue is
,symbolical of the clear dome of
heaven, wherein are set the stars of
Inc Inc Union and under which all peo-
pies, regardless of race, color or ro-
liigion, may breathe the air of free
aom. 1t is the unconquerable flag of
the world.-Elizabeth Gregg.

Graham Jail Will
HoldNeither Liquor
Nor Liquor Makers

1t seems that the Graham police
officers are about as careful in guard

keeping liquor taken off of bottleg-
gers and moonshiners.
by the name of Jones Blevins was
arrested at Graham by special officer
H. II. Rosenbaum, and in his grip was
found about thirty pints of liquor
The liquor was stored in the Office Of
B. NJ. Newman, Justice of the Peace,
and the prisoner placed in the Gra-
ham jail for safe-keeping, during the
night. When Rosenbaum returned
the next morning all of the liquor
had disappeared with the exception

indicate an escape by violence. Spec

no further chances on the remnant
of the liquor and brought the same

Attorney forthwith and made ar

tion of the west end of the county,
where Blevins formerly worked. In
one of his rounds Osborne ran across
Blevins and, as usual, landed him
safely in the Tazewell Jail. Officer
Rosenbaum came to Tazewell and
took the prisoner to Graham for pre-
liminary trial. The prisoner was plac-
ed in the Graham Jail second time
for safe keeping, in care of Sergeant
George w. Havens and policeman
George Burge, while Rosenbaum went
to supper. The Jail door was unlock
ed in order to give the prisoner his
supper, and it seems that there was
Misunderstanding between officers
Havens and Berge as to which one
would get the dishes used in serving
the supper to the prisoner and lock
the Jail door, which resulted in Blew
| ins walking out to freedom a second
time. There is no clue as to the
whereabouts of Blevins at the pres
ent time, but it is certain that in his
rambling around he will keep out
of Champ Osborne's section of the
county. Policeman Rosenbaum has
worked hard to bring this man Blew
ins to justice and two escapes from
the Graham Jail are very discourag.
ing. 1t was no neglect on the part OF
Rosenbaum that these two escapes
were effected. and we are satisfied
that ROsenbaum will yet bring Blev.
ins to trial in the Circuit Court OF
TaZewell county.
