Mile Beach and almost every one of these

ton of connection orders. Therefore we
must ask you to notify this Company
AHEAD OF TIME. so we can give you
the service for Electricity without undue
delay. Ba
And, when you wish to purchase a Wash
ing Machine or Cleaner or other Electrical
device for your home. see us and get our

Sentenced to Five Years in State
Reformatory.

Cecil Ferguson tried on an indict
mcnt for robhing Jean Tran, a
Frcnchman, on II e. a O. freight
train and afterward putting the man
off the moving train, was found
guilty by the jury and sentenced to
five years in the State prison. The
Frenrhman. who had been in this
! country only few months, could
not speak English and his testimony
vas interpreted by Mrs. Espy War
Irr who speaks English well. Fer
uSon was tried separately from Ise-
man Isom and Raymond Chambers
indicted Jointly with Ferguson for
this crime. The cases against ISom
and Chambers were dismissed, ther,
being no evidence to convict them.
In fact the Frenchman testified that
the four men who robbed him would
have thrown him off the swiftly mov-
my train into the creek at Slate
ridge where it is probably 40 feet
to the water, had they not been pre-
vented by Chambers and Isom who
'laimed that they had nothing to do
with this gang of robbers and hoboes
but were on their way to seek EN-
'loyment in Tennessee coal mines.
The robbers seem TO have been COM
posed of Ferguson, VIM. Jones, who
made his escape from Jail here re-
Gently, and two unidentified men
who left the train at Winchester on
the night of the robbery. Ferguson
is but 10 years old and is son of
John Ferguson, who moved from the
eastern part of this county two or
three years ago to trenton, Ohio,
where he now lives. Cecil was rear

George Washinrtnn

Dear Uncle Jed: George Washington. Father of His Country" was born on Popes Creek. Westmoreiand County, Va He had desire at the age of fourteen years to become "a seaman, but was dis uaded by his mother. When he was r years of age he became one of the most accurate land surveyors in Virginia. He was appointed public surveyor at the age Of Is, and endured many hardships. In 1753 he was sent on a mission by the governor of Virginia to the comman- der of the French forces, making en- creachments on the English territory.
 At the age of 27 he married the young widow Curtis, and they lived at Mount Vernon, where he pursued the business of a farmer until 1774, when he was chosen to seat in the Virginia legislature. In June Washington was appointed com mander-in-ehief of the Continental army, For eight years he directed the feeble ar- mics in their struggle for independence.
 He was elected by unanimous vote president Of the United States in. 17ss, and served tive terms.
 Suddenly on Dec 14,. i7ss, the nation was called upon to mourn his death, af- ter an illness of one day. His last words were 'It is weli". He was buried in D tomb at Mount Vernon. S., RAYMOND J. WOODS, Age 12, Norwich.

Geofre Washington.

Dear Uncle Jed:' George Washington, first president of the United States, was born in Virginia on February 22, i7s2. Georges father died when he was only; eleven years old. And his mother was left to take care of him and four other children, all younger than George. The stories of Georges early life show how much he owed to the careful training that his mother gave him. If she had not been such true and noble woman, we might never have heard of George Wash ington st all.
 Washington studied hard at school. Some of his copy books have been kept to this day. Washington left school when he was about Is years of age He learned how to measure land and did great deal of this kind of work. The governor of Virginia wanted to send an important 1 message to the French fort on Lake Erie ! This. was hundreds of miles away.
