Hereford, Eng.-The little village of

The church is of the Norman peri
cd and tales concerning its ghost have
become like household words. There
are many stories of different ghosts
in various forms, but the most aston
ishing visitant is one which plays the
church organ.
Hears Ghost Play.
81 have heard the ghost play twice
myself" said the Rev. Archer Shep-
pard, the vicar. Some neighbors
brought the matter to my notice
first. They heard the sounds when
they were walking by the church one
afternoon, and thought that it was my
organist practicing. They found,
however, that the church was locked
up.
The first time l heard the ghostly
playing was while / was gardening.
/ believed that the woman who clean
ed out the church was allowing her
child to use the organ, and | went to
see into the matter. The music stop
ped when | vas a few yards from the
church, and l found that the building
was locked and empty"
This ghost was at Avenbury before
Mr.. Sheppard became vicar" said Col.
Purser of Bromyard. Il told him the
story, but he did not believe it until
he heard the music himself. My chill
dren and l have heard it, and 1t
sounds like n voluntary. Once my
children were in the church when
there was a groan. They rushed out
into the chancel whence the sound APP

STILL FAITHFUL TO sTuARTs7
Pretender Of that Line to Britain's
Throne ls Now Prince Rupert

There was once to be found in Brit
ain a little group Of romantic senti-
mentalists who remained faithful to
the Stuart line, and celebrated on jan
uary 30 a kind of Jacobite feast day.
A writer In Living Age remembers
seeing postage stamps bearing the like
ness of the ..pretender," who happened
to be a princess Of Bavaria. These
were attached to the envelope by the
side of the official postage stamp. thus
constituting a our of annoyance to
the serious minded Victoria.

BLOCKADE WILL NOT BE RAISED
UNTIL AFTER RATIFI-
CATION.
U. S. BEHIND FRANCE
FINAL PROVISIONS MADE FOR
ENFORCING OBSERVANCE
OF TERMS.

Paris, June 30.-Conditioning the
raising of the blockade upon Ger
many's ratification of the treaty Is
regarded in conference circles as a
sure plan for securing a speedy ratifi-
cation because of Germany's food and
raw material needs. As Russia was
practically blOckaded as a result Of
the blockade against the central pow
ers, the opinion is held that when the
blockade of them ceases there will lie
no blockade against Russia.
Paris.-The official notification to
Germany that the blockade will not
be raised until the treaty is ratified
by Germany was in the form of a
resolution adopted by the council of
four and presented to the German del
egation before It's departure for Ber-
lin. The resolution follows:
"The superior blockade council In
instructed to base its arrangements
for resembling restriction upon trade
with Germany IN the assumption that
the allied and associated powers will
not wait to raise the blockade until
the completion of ratification, as pro-
vided for at the end Of the treaty with
Germany, but that it is to be raised
Immediately upon receipt of informa-
ton that the treaty of peace has been
ratified by Germany"
The Franco-American convention
has been signed on behalf of the two
governments, according to the news
papers. 1t is said that the covenant
includes several articles and specifies
that violations of the peace treaty by
Germany will give France the right
to request American and British as
sistance.
One paper says the coincidence in
the signing Of the convention and the
peace treaty the same day is part of
the spirit of union among the associ-
ated powers to see that the treaty is
carried put.
The peace treaty was taken from
Versailles to Paris and deposited at
the protocol office. Marshal Joffre
and Marshal Foch and Marshal Petain
also were unable to be present.
A note will be sent the Turkish
delegation by the council Of four ad
vising the members to return to Con
stantinople.
The message will say there is nc
reason to believe an agreement can
be reached in the lei future, be
cause Of the great difference between
the demands of the Turks and the
concessions the allies are willing to
grant.
The council Of four have reached an
agreement on the economic terms to
be imposed on Austria.

MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
NAL and Elaborate English style
Of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that 1t had a century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re-
view. Then such masters of the Ian
guage as Cobbe, Coleridge. DeQuincey
or Hazlitt were journalists as well az
poets or essayists, and their leading
articles lost nothing Of effect on the
public from being literature.
The arrival Of the age of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by a change, not for the better, In the
popular style Of speaking and writing.
Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fneness Of expression"
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions Of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed In the
language Of everyday speech. The
obligation Of COMPRISING conclusions
about important matters into 1000
words, or fewer, is death, In the end,
to style. The literary form favored is
in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion of wearing ones clothing. It
is free and easy and crammed with
linguistic atrocities. Plural subjects
are polygamously welded to singular
verbs, and Lindley Murray turns in his
grave on account of the death Of gram
mar.

MARY BRANTLEY
CHAPTER HAS MEETING
FIRST FALL GATHERING OF THE
DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERA-
CY MOST ENJOYABLE ONE.

The Mary Brantley Chapter, U. D.
c., met in regular session for the first
fall meeting Friday afternoon at the
club house, which was unusually at
tractive with decorations of golden
rod. The new officers were encour-
aged by large attendance. Mrs. l..
Lamar presiding, made brief prelim-
mar remarks and proceeded at once
to the very interesting business ses-
sion.
Under the administration of Mrs.
T. B. Raines, who had as co-workers
some of the ablest women of the city,
there has been constant growth and
activity in the chapter, and the I'M
portant work committed to the new
officers will receive the same faith
full and loyal service. That the COM
mittees have not been idle during
the summer months was made plain
by the fine reports submitted. Sew
eral new names were enrolled. The
flower committee has been especial
ly active. The outstanding feature
of the meeting was the report of
scholarship work made by the chair
man, Miss Minnie Bridges. The full
story of the beautiful work of aiding
struggling Terrell county girls and
boys will never be known, but the
fact that a large number are receiv-
ing training at some of the best col
leges of the state is matter of great
pride to the chapter, and Miss
Bridges was heartily congratulated
on her splendid achievements.
1t developed that the history-the
life work of the late Mrs. B. H.
Hood edited by Mrs. ]. M. Griggs
is finding ready sale, not only in this
county but over wide territory. The
continued efforts of the members in
disposing of the books still on hand
was urged. The year book received
much favorable comment, it being
one of the best ever issued in point
of subject matter and typographical
appearance. A good financial report
was given by the treasurer.
The first number of the ENJOYABLE
program, arranged by Mrs. E. T. Jor-
dan, was the prize essay, patriots
who have made Georgia history"
read by the winner, Miss Catherine
Wilkinson, who received unstinted
praise for her clever work. "Is There
Still Dixie?" was fully answered in
the affirmative by Mrs John Kennedy
in a beautiful selection. "a Tribute
to the Confederate Navy" was paid
in glowing terms by Mrs. Roy Smith
in a study of the work of Admiral
Raphael Semmes.
A graceful compliment to the lady
teachers of the Dawson public school
was the informal reception which fol-
lowed, the guests of honor being IN
troduced by the president, Mrs. L.
Lamar. Sandwiches and tea were
served by the refreshment commit
tee
The chapter was pleased to have
present Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Pierce,
Of PARROT, and Mrs. Ada Gurr, val
ued out-of-town members.
The chapter will be well represent
ed at the state convention in Valdos-
ia by Mrs. T. B. Raines, who goes
by virtue of her Office as state re
cording secretary, and the following
delegates unanimously elected: Mrs.
j. M. Griggs, Mrs. ]. w. Patterson
and Miss Minnie Bridges. Mrs. Frank
Harold, of Americas, was Endorsed
for state president.
