Grave Diggers Here Say No.
More Buriais OH the
Sabbath
WANT ONE DAYS REST
Their Mandate will Have to be Com
piled With and Sunday Funerals
VIII be no More.

The grave diggers in Alexandria
have gone on strike against Sunday
funerals. There ultimatium was de-
livercd today to those in charge of
the various cemeteries. The under
takers were communicated with AMI
now there is trouble ahead.
\ representative of the Gazette who
went out to investigate the strike was
told by one undertaken that the grave
dggers will not fill in graves on Sun
day. This, therefore, means, that a
person desires a Sunday funeral they
will have to obtain outside help to
fill in the grave, or else not have the
funeral on the Sabbath.
The grave diggers work six days a
week and are getting tired of the
Sunday work. They walt to take a
day of rest on the Sabbath as almost
everyone else does.
Funerals on the Sabbath in AleXan-
dria. therefore, are thing of the past
for the present, at least, unless th2
backbone of the grave diggers strike
against Sunday funeral is broken.
Just what the cemetery owners pro
pose to do in regard to the strike has
not yet been disclosed.

THE REVIVAL MEETING
Large Attendance at Services at
First Baptist Church

In the face of the Halloween cell
ebraticn last night there was a
congregation at the First Baptist
Church that filled the main audi
torium. DR.. Fl. I. Stewart discus
sed the life of Lot under the sug-
gestive text: "He fingered" He
showed the great loss that had come
upon Lot because Of the. manner of
life he led oIt of touch with God.
He had ultimately lost everything
in life that was worth while. The
great asset of PERSONAL influence
for righteousness had been almost
entirely obliterated. He had not
sufficient influence to make his life
count in the home, for his children
one after another followed in his
footsteps and drifted to their de-
struction. His wife was: so tied to
Sodom as that, with all its wicked
ness her heart yearned for it and
her destruction was tragic.
Lot was prominent in the city but
not single man or woman did he
influence to stand four-square in
the coming storm. Lot had caught
the vision of wonderful possibilities
in life from "Abram, the friend of
God" but he had failed to follow
the light. His name is synonym
of sorrow and shame even to this
day because he hesitated to act up
to what he knew God wanted him
to do.
So great is the interest in these
meetings that Mr.. Stewart will
preach this evening. Tomorrow
morning he breaches on: "The
Story of my Life He. will also
address the Sunday School 4.
The revival will continue to the
evening service and possibly fur
ther.

High Water Mark Reached
in Police Court Col
lectiOns
ALL PROMPTLY PAY
During Past Five Months Police Jus
tice Has Collected a Total of S4,-
489.65-Today .S115 Collected. i

The collections of fines in the Po-
lice Court continues at high tide.
The fines collected during the
month of October amounted to
S1,050. The assessments were for
various violations of the law, a
large percentage of the offenders
being speeders.
The fiscal year began in June.
The receipts during the first five
months were as follows: June,
$S49; July, 1911. so; August, SS75.65;
September, $743 80; October, $1,050
The month of November began
auspiciously, Sis having been col
lected today.
Most Of the patrons of the Po-
lice Court at present are brought
into court and, if convicted, pay
their fines, majority of them hav-
ing the ready cash, and others who
have not ready cash, obtain the
money from friends, and the result
is< that the jails is not half so filled
with prisoners as it was prior to
the war.
The police declare that they never
saw money so plentiful with viola
tors of the law as at the present
time.
The cost of living and everything
else has gone up, and naturally the
fines have increased in proportion
to keep abreast of the times 1t,
therefore, costs more money in
Alexandria to violates the law than
it did in former years.
Those who face the bar, however.
apparently realize this and pay $40
with more readiness than they for
merly paid $2.50 or $5.
