happy. Yet his character was beyond

EMDARkS IN BUSINESS

W. H. Wilcox, who has been super
intendent of local laundry for some
time, has gone to Jackson, where he
contemplates the starting of laun-
dry within a short time. He'll move
his family there later, according to
present plans. Mr.. Wilcox is recognize
ed as man of extensive experience
in this business, having come to Rich
mond to assemble and install a plant
here, and his value as laundryman
being recognized, he has been "held''
here, but has decided to go into bus
mess for himself. He is said to be one
of the most thoroughly experienced
men in this line in the country, and
if his popularity follows him there he
is assured of a good business, and his
patronage will doubtless be extensive
and satisfactory.

WORK MAY DELAY
OPENING or SCHOOL.

Work is progressing on the i'm
provement being made at Madi-
son High School. and an effort is
being made to complete this in
order to admit of the opening of
school the first of the month.
There is question whether this
can be accomplished. Contrac-
tors are giving the work close at
tention and good force of work
men is being employed.
The excavation work is being
accomplished in very satisfac-
tory manner and that above the
ground, it is believed, will be
completed Within the allotted
time, or very soon afterward,
which may necessitate the failure
to open the institution until the
second week i'll September. Sup
erintendent Payne stated that
since the work was being gotten
way in such short time, he was of
the opinion that the contracts
might be filled on time.

APPENDIX BURST
BUT BOY RECEIVERS

Last week while visiting rela-
tives in Lexington, John Goodloe,
son of Mr.. and Mrs J. d. Good
loe, of Whites Station, suffered
an acute attack of appendicitis.
The lad was rushed to the St
Joseph's hospital there where it
was decided an operation was ne
cessary Immediately. Upon ex-
animation, it was found the ap-
pendix had burst, an extraOrdin-
airy fact connected with such cas-
es. However. the operation was
concluded by Dr. David Barrow,
who is of the opinion that unless
complications arise, recovery will
follow. The parents of the little
fellow. who is we'll and popularity
known in Richmond, are with
their son, who. according to the
attending physicians and sur
geOns, will doubtless survive one
of the most unusual experiences
known to the medical and surgi-
cal professions.

takes were principally clerical OF er-
