Richmond's merchants have never

with the necessity for at once sorting
out her old clothing and that of all

condition is needed by tho Associated
Charities this year In its newest plan
to conduct permanent bargain store

proaches. may obtain clothing that
will keep them warm and comfortable

When the City Council takes In
hand the task of rcarranginE the
ward boundaries, the actual work of
drawing the now lines will be as

trail Registrar William S. woods,n
ana others OF extensive experience.
Registrar Woodson, discussing the
prospect. yesterday, said the work
would be found more complicated
than the simple proposition Of ex-
pandinS one ward and contracting the
area OF another appears. Action
must BIO taken, he said, to eliminate
all elements of confusion. There are
many at present. Ward boundaries
now run through the center of
streets. he pointed out. SO that resi-
dents on ono side of the street are

ing on the other side. This is one
OF the most confusing Of all the con.
fusing features OF the existing plan,
Mr.. Woodson said.
While the Council is rearranging
the ward boundaries and fixing tho
precinct lines. the registrar suggests
mat 1t shall also give new names to
many streets. Duplicates of street
names arc numerous in Richmond. The
registrars books show that there arc
three Edgewood Avenues. One Is In
Barton Heights. another ut Forest
Hill. and a third is a short avenue
near Hollywood Cemetery.
There are two Stuart Avenues. one

arc two Virginia Avenues, one at
Highland Park. another at Barton
Heights, and two Virginia Streets.
one running south from Cary, near
Fourteenth, and another in Fulton.
The central registrar mentioned the
confusion in street names as rcspon-
sible largely for the confusion in
registration. Another cause of the
confusion in carrying names to the
poll books was the inability of the
assistant registrars to distinguish
the difference between north and ives;

THE SPIDER AND THE fly"

"will you walk into my parlor," said the
Spider to the Fly.
IT'S the p~rettiest little parlor that ever
you did spy:
The way into my parlor is up a winding
stair.
And | have many curious things to show
when you are there"
"Oh, no. no." said the little Fly. ito ask me
IS in vain:
For who goes up your winding stair can
ne'er come down again"
Sweet cfeature." said the Spider. You're
witty and you're wise;
How handsome are your gauzy wings. how
brilliant are your eyesi
I have a little looking glass upon my par
lor shelf;
If you'll step in one minute. you shall e
hold yourself"
Il thank you, gentle SIR" she said. for
what you're pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now. III
call another day"
The Spider turned him round about and went
into his den.
For we'll he knew the silly Fly would soon
be back again;
So he wove a subtle web in a little corner sly
And set his table ready to dine upon the Fly:
Then he came out to his door again. and
me-riiy did sing
Come hither. hither, prtty Fly. with the
pearl and silver wing:
Your robes are green and purple. there's a
crest upon your head:
Your eyes are like the diamond light. but
mine are dull as lead"
Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little
Fly,
Hearing his willy. fattering words. came
slowly fitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then
near and nearer drew
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes. and
green and purple hue;
Thinking only of her crested head-poor
foolish thing! At last
Up jumped the cunning Spider. and hercely
held her fast,
dragged her up his winding stair. into
his dismal den
Within his little parlor-but she ne'er came
out againl
And now, dear little children. who may this
story read.
To idle. silly fattering words. l pray you
ne'er give heed;
Nnto an evil counsellor close heart and ear
and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale of the
Spider and the Fly.

tered at Spring Hill.
Miss Venie Turner died March &c
at the home Of her sister, Mrs. J. n.
Bitter, at Alexandria, Va. and her
remains were brought to Grenada and
carried out to Spring Hill church and
there beside her mother and some 9TH
er loved ones were laid to rest Mon
day afternoon, Rev. Marvin Langley,

the funeral services.
Miss Venie Turner was born and
reared in the vicinity of Holcomb, be-
ing the third child of Capt. r. H.
Turner, by whom she is survived, who
is now 95 years old and who is with
another daughter, Mrs. Turnipseed at
Landrum. S. C. She was 81 years
of age. She had devoted her life r.
her home and the care of the young
er members of the household. She
was full of energy and a most estim-
able woman She had long been a
member of the Methodist church and
sacredly believed in it's. teachings.
She had been a sufferer for perhaps
ten years from rheumatism and some
affections, so death may be regarded
as a sweet relief.
Besides her father, she is survived
by three sisters, Mrs. r. B. Turnip-
seed, Mrs. j. G. Howell and Mrs. j. H.
Bitter to all of whom The Sentinel
tenders sympathy.
