Deaths Messenger
Passing This Way
Takes Lovely Girl
Mrs. Robert c. Betty, After Brief Ill
ness, Passes From Time Into
Eternity.

spoiler is among the works of the
Almighty. All that is born must die"
To the man or the woman we'll
stricken in years, death often comes
as a release from cares and suffering.
But to the young, to one who has
just crossed the threshold from girl
hood to young womanhood, death
comes with peculier sadness. Life
then is so full of promise. Through
the gates of the future can be seen the
lowered fields, days shot through
and through with sunshine, and nights
flooded with moonlight. To the young,
life is so rosy, so full of promise.
1t seems that the grim reaper might
find sufficient fully ripened grain
for his scythe and spare those who
are young and full of hope.
These reflections come to US as we
consider the untimely transition of
that sweet young matron, the wife of
Robert Belts and daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. B. Street, Jr, who has been
summoned from the shores of time
into the Gland beyond the stars
The sad intelligence of her death
was conveyed to anxious friends last
Friday shortly after noon. The end
was not unexpected, as loved ones,
gathered at the bedside, had watched
with anguish the sufferers losing
struggle against the inevitable.
Every human agency that medical
skill and science could suggest, was
employed to restore to health the
happy young life whose bright pres
,ence had been a radiant beam of sun
shine to all with whom she had come
in contact, but all to no avail. Every
effort was repulsed by the resistless
force of nature.
Mrs. Marie Louise Belts was the ell
der daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. B..
Street, Jr. Just nineteen year old
and the bride Of a few short months,
| thagsiaiouSs Il szsifc beautiful with its
promise Of happiness and service be-
came as brief mirage that passed
with the darkening shadows of time.
The sympathy of sorrowing COM
munity is extended the grief stricken
young husband and relatives.
The deceased was survived by her
heart broken husband, Mr. Robert G..
Belts, to whom she was married last
July; by her father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. S. B. Street, Jr.; a younger
sister, Frances, and a number of fur
Their removed relatives.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence of her parents on Main street,
Saturday afternoon. Rev. Thos. Lips
comb and Rev. Jesse Rowan pronounc-
ed the last sad rites in the presence of
concourse of Borrowing friends,
tenderly consigning all that was NOR
tai to rest under a mound of floral
offerings in Friendship Cemetery.
The flower committee was compos-
ed of Mrs. Robert Tweedy, Mrs. Leo
Flynn, Misses Katherine Maer, Fun
ice Lipscomb, Lucy Carter, Elizabeth
Kennedy, Frances Woodward and
Clendennin Baird.
The pail bearers were Messrs.
Robert Whitfield, Reuben Searcy,
Davis Patty, Leo Flynn, Foster Ken
nedy, Don Johnston, Dowse Harris
and Wylie Johnston.

KIP. MINSTREL
LAST OF MARCH
FIFTY MEN TO TAKE PART
q IN HOME TALENT
SHOW.
MANSER DIRECTOR
New Jokes and New Music With
Augmented Orchestra Give
Promise of Splendid
Exhibition.

Unbounded enthusiasm, hearty CO.
operation and high order of talent
are elements that are combining to
make the Knights of Pythias Minstrel
Show at the Columbus Opera House
on the nights of Tuesday and Wed
nesday, March Goth and Both, an un-
qualified success.
Mr.. ]. r. Manser, director of the
entertainment, has had much exper-
fence in theatrical work and is giving
his best thought and efforts to the
production. Out of total of three
hundred Knights of Pythias, fifty
men will be selected for the various
parts. The music for the show has
been ordered and is expected to reach
here this week. Practicing and re-
hearsing will then begin, and pro-
ficiency may confidently be expected
by the time the show is to be staged.
The performance is to. be given for
the benefit Of the New Home Fund.
Recently the member of Tombigbee
Lodge, IL, X. of p, bought a
building to be used for lodge purposes,
and the Knights are anxious to pay
for the structure as soon as possible.
By giving minstrel two nights they
hope to contribute a nice sum to-
ward the clearing Of the debt. They
feel sure that all who want to see
the minstrel will not be able to get
into the opera house the first night,
hence will give two performances.
Special attention will be paid to
the orchestra, and this feature is
sure to prove enjoyable to the audi
ence and helpful to the actors.
Mr.. Battle X. Sessums, member Z
of the committee on arrangements, in
forms us that the jokes and songs
will all be new, and that the audience
will not be fed on chestnuts that are
"hoary white with eld." 1t will be the
purpose of those in charge of the
show to give an entertainment Of
which all Knights of Pythias in CO.
lumbus may feel proud.
The first part will be given with
elaborate electrical effects, the stage
setting to be in black and white, and
the costumes to be worn will be
worth two thousand dollars. The very
best talent in the city will participate.
Committees.
The following committees will have
charge of the minstrel:
Ticket Committee: Messrs. J. K.
Watson, E. l.. Kuykendall, Erie Stag
gers and c. j. Buck.
Program Committee: Messrs N.Y.
rick Cox, James A. Perkerson, ]. c.
Lyons and James Broome.
Arrangements Committee. Messrs.
Battle X. Sessums, Joseph Harrison
and Antonio Butera.
The price Of tickets for the entire
lower floor and the first two rows
of the balcony will be $780, Other
seats will be seventy-five cents.
Stand BY Home Folks.
Now let everybody make up their
mind to attend the Knights of Py-
thias Minstrel. Your friends, rela-
tives and neighbors arc to give the
performance and the money you spend
will all remain in Columbus. 1t viii
be a good show and we'll worth the
price of admission.
As soon as the cast Of characters
is arranged The Dispatch will puo-
lish the names of the performers and
the part each win take.

 STAND TRIAL

PARIS, Jan. 13 (b Associated Press) Contrary to general expecta- tion, it seems that Henri Landru, whom the police call the Gambais Bluebeard, is after all to be tried on the charge that he murdered his Il fiancees and will not be let off with the five years sentence and subse- quent deportation to Devils Island which he has already received for swindling
 The indictment, which forms a vol assizes court and the Investigating judge, BOnin, heaving a great sigh of relief, announced that the case was now out of his hands. Maitre de Moro Giafferi who was one of the defense for Caillaux, will be counsel for the accused Gambais man.
 Landru has appealed to the court of cessation against the sentence for swindling. Judge Bonin told him the appeal would delay his trial for mur- der and thus deprive him of chance to prove his innocence before next March.
 T am in no hurry" responded Lan- dru, whose dry wit has made him a hard customer for the judge By the way, just to set matters right, have not the slightest desire to prove my innocence; I understand it is up to you to prove my guilt"
 All right" replied the judge, postponed until the March assizes."
 :" should worry" Landru retorted as parting shot, My alleged vic tins, myself or you will have died of old age before the assizes have seen any one of us"

RELIEF FUND FOR KIDDLES
 JUMPING UP

Gratifying inded are the reports that are coming i'll from the Hoover council of relief. Ships laden with food are being rushed to the relief of the starving children in southeas- ern Europe as fast as available funds will permit, and while funds are pour ing in rapidly yet they are vastly in- sufficient as yet to provide sufficient food to care for all those starving children until the winter is over.
 The people of Cordoyt and vicinity are responding nobly to the call for help, yet there are large number oi the good people of this community who have not contributed to this worthy cause who, 1 know, are anX- ious to be the means of helping to save the lives of those unfortunate Riddles. 1 therefore appeal to you to send in your contributions with out further delay.
 It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I acknowledge the generous sup port given by the people of this con- munity to assist Hoover in saving the loves of those many starving chil- dren.
