man who lived near Glover Hill. Of
whom Rust became very fond because
he said Virgil treated me all right"
After his release he never forgot
Reid, at one time deciding him q
home on Sears Hill in Staunton.
After his death about two years ago
his will was found to have left Reid
the bulk of his fortune estimated to
be worth 100000. His relatives con-
tested the will claiming that he was
of unsound mind when 1t was made
and that he was not mentally able TO
dispose of such an estate.
The first trial of the case in Stauh-
ton court resulted in a verdict for the
validity of the will, the verdict later
being set aside by the court. At the
next trial hung jury was the result.
The case to be fought here in court
on May Z will be bitterly contested.
The attorneys who will appear for the
validity of the will are s. D. limb err

resenting the Rust relatives are Ed

berculosis association for the particu-
lar benef1t of persons who have not

Shortness of breath, spasns of
coughing, profuse expectoration morn
inr~ and general weakness were
pointed out as symptoms that should
cause person so affected to be on the

ing them TO become 1919 members.
An unexpectedly large number took

Believing II is wise to thoroughly
canvass one section of the city before
starting a survey in another district.
Miss Webb stated that work will be
continued for the time being in Full
ton. Since the associations activities
began in this part OF the city thirty
five cases Of tuberculosis previously
unknown have been discovered and
