Bedding Bros. & Co. have under con-
sideration plans for the erection of a
Girls Club and Recreation hall building
9Ox110 feet in size which will be used
by the young ladies employed in the
mills Of the city during their leisure
time and in which they will be able
to enjoy all the conveniences found
In large city buildings Of the same ma
ture, such as gymnasium, swimming
pool, motion pictures and the like. The
building may also be open to the pub
lie at certain times according to plan
also under consideration. The site for
the proposed new building has as yet
not been determined on, but it is quite
likely to be just to the west of the
Alvah N. Belding Memorial library.
The new building is the idea and
wish of Mr.. Alvah N. Belding, who
also donated the library building to
the city. For years back Mr.. Bedding
has been DESTROYS of presenting the
city with a building on the order of
gymnasium, where swimming and
other recreationa1 activities could be
enjoyed by the people of this city and
should the present plans materalize
the young ladies of. the city will find
themselves privileged to use and enjoy
the comforts and conveniences of a
building the equal of which will not be
found in any other small city in the
state.

.SNEAK THIEVES
ARE BUSY WITH
PETTY THEFTS
THREE OvERCOATS DISAPPEAR
FROM CHURCH VESTfBULE
AS OWNERS WORSHIP

Sneak thieves are busy again and
numerous small thefts are reported
from time to time all over the city.
They range from the theft of clothing
off from line to wood and other prop
erty which has been ungarded, un-
locked or not nailed securely down.
The latest theft is reported as be-
ing committed up in the vestibule of
the Free Methodist church, where,
while the congregation was in the low
err rooms of the church engaged in
prayer meeting, some one entered in
to the hall entrance of the church and
stole three good overcoats. The theft
was not noticed for some time as the
prayer service. lasted for nearly two
hours and the discovery was made
when the people were getting ready
to leave for home.
The coats were the property OF
Frank Owens, foreman in the basket
factory, Fred Brown and Milan
Rausch. The coats which were owned
by Owens and Rausch were used coats
which they had had for some time but
the coat which was stolen from Fred
Brown was brand new one which he
had just purchased and it undoubted-
ly looked too good for the theft to
leave.
No clew was left as to the identity
of the person or persons guilty of the
theft, but an effort is being made to
discover them.

WOOD FROM
WRONG WOODP|LE
CAUSES TROUBLE
OWNER THREATENS TO HAVE
THE LAW ON EN-" AND SET
ELEMENT is REACHED

o. w. Bailey and Floyd Bush came
near getting into court this week all
because on Wednesday of last week
they happened to make a mistake in
hauling some wood which they had
purchase from Wilson e. NCo. from
their supply in the woods north of
Kiddville and instead got some fuel
from off a pile owned by Albert Race
on the latter's land.
Race noticed the mistake soon af-
ter it had taken place and notified the
men that they would have to settle.
They were willing to settle by either
paying for the wood or returning ii
but they could not agree over the
quantity of wood taken, Bailey and
Bush claiming that they had taken
but four and one half cords, while
Race declared that seven and one-half
cords had been taken and that he
would take the matter into court un-
less they paid for that much wood.
Race asked for a warrant in Judge
Lapham's court and the justice thot
best to look into the matter before
issuing papers and accordingly on
Monday night the principals in the
case met at the Justices Office and
patched up the matter by splitting the
difference between themselves and
paying for the wood, Race throwing
off two cords and making the amount
of wood taken through error, as five
and one-half cords.

LEvALlEY LAND TRACT

A big deal in land was consumated
this week when the d. A. LeValley
holding at Smyrna, of the one hundred
and sixty acres was sold by him to
Louis c. Epson for price extending
up into the thousands.
Since the death of his wife, Mr.. Lee
Valley concluded to dispose of the
valuable piece of property and get rid
of the worry and vexation which il
would cause him in looking after the
sale of the timber and wood on the
place and he interested Mr.. Epson in
the matter which soon eliminated in
a closing of the deal. Mr.. Epson will
at once begin the sale of the timber
and wood and also parcel out the land
to parties who may be interested in
purchasing it. Mr.. Epson is to be
congratulated on his valuable pur-
chase.
