NEWS OF ENSLEY

| The Baptist church of Ensley was packed to it's capacity last evening when the churches of the district came to- A. K. Wright. who leaves Wednesday to take up his new charge at the tab ernacle church in Louisville Special music was furnished by a joint choir from the various churches and Mrs. H. J. Cummings sang 70 Lord, Be Merci- full"
 Rev. T. N. Lenox of the First Chris tian church, who is third in years of ministerial work in Ensley churches, presided. Rev. Lennox, Rev. L. E. Bru- baker of the Highlands Presbyterian, Rev. J. C.. Persinger of the First Meth odist and Rev. c. B. Tomb of the First Presbyterian were seated in the pulpit with Rev Wright.
 Rev, I.ennox said that it was a joy to meet with the congregation of the Baptist church. but it was with regret that the time had come to bid the pas tor "Godspeed' in his new work. He expressed his appreciation of the fellow ship he had enjoyed with MT. Wright and the cooperation he had given in both the religious and civic affairs of the community. In losing MT. Wright
 
 for good
 Rev. Brubaker who has been in the district for six years, spoke in behalf of the Ministers association of Ensley. He said that the fact that a minister deals in spiritual things rather than material makes it hard to estimate his real value He comes in contact with the spiritual being of men and touches their souls, transforming them into bet ter men and women.
 He reviewed the work Rev. Wright has done for his own denomination and the community and said that the dis trict, in his going. had sustained a loss as the going of no other minister would do. He paid a tribute to MT. Wright by saying that his work was done quietly and he stayed on the job until he saw it trough. It is with great pride that we can send a fellow worker to Louis vile to take up great work.
 MT. Wright was overcome with ap- preciation for the tribute paid him by the coming together of the Ensley churches and expressed his gratitude for the cooperation of the community and his church in the nine years he has spent in Ensley. He said that the mem ory of the joy and pleasure of friends made here would continue throughout l his life.

RECORD NUMBER
DIVORCE CASES
were GRANTED
SeVenty-six Are Separated by
Judge, While One Hundred and
One Make Application.

A new record is believed to have
been established by the circuit
court in the number of divorces
granted during the May term,
which was completed yesterday
afternoon. Seventy-six separations
were allowed by Judge W. T.
Church between May and July 8.
The closing term is the shortest of
the year, the others lasting three
or four months.
Not only was a record establish
ed in the number of successful
suits for divorce, but also in the
number of cases filed. An increase
of 80 per cent is recorded over the
previous term, and an even greater
per cent over the average for sew
eraI terms prior. The total num-
Der of divorce and separate main
tenance declarations filed was 101.
There were a few dismissals; 9TH
ers are pending.
1t Now Costs More.
One cant get a divorce now with
out paying more. Effective July I,
the fees were revised, the first in
stance in many years. This was
by act of the last general assem-
bly,. The lawyers, of course, didn't
have to await action of the legisla-
ture before raising their fees.
Adjournment of court yesterday
meant practically for
the term. Judge Church will re-
sumo court July II, but for the
purpose only Of entering court
order. The new term will con-
vene about Sept. Is.

NEARLY
EFFECT ESCAPE
FROM The JAIL
Quartet Confined in Juvenile Ward
Mt County Institution Dig With
Spoons and Pan.

Four youngsters between the
ages of 16 and IS years made an
unsuccessful effort to escape con-
finement in the county jail We'd
neslay night. They were detained
in their efforts through the quick
work of Turnkey c. C. Kirsch, who
caught them red-handed, so to
speak.
Using soup spoons and frying
pans as tools, the four applied
themselves earnestly to the task of
removing one of the huge stones
from the Jail wall, and in less than
three hours after they had been
served their evening meal, they
had almost reached the stage
where the job was finished.
But-they also reckoned without
the watchfuI turnkey. Mr.. Kirsch
betook himself to the juvenile ward
to gather up spoons and pans, and
10, and behold, the quartet of des-
perate kids had scratched through
the Jail wall.
Here They Are.
And they did it all with their lit
tie spoons and pans!
Their names and the offenses for
which they are awaiting hearings
are: Maurice Bates, colored, de-
linquent; Raymond Carrigan, burg
larry and larceny; Robert Connolly,
burglary and larceny; Harold Bow
man, burglary and larceny.

Mr.. Fitzgerald said the Irish Ian

wearing of the Irish kilt, he said
he could not imagine the Irish PEG
pie wearing it at work in the fields.
He regarded the separation OF Ire
