Don't expect good dancing part-

FAKE MARRIAGE AND OTHER
COMMUNICATIONS.

The Editor of this newspaper has
received within the past month OF
two, number of notices for publ
cation that were clear fakes. Some
with only initials signcd-somc with
no signatures ut all. At least two
marriage notices unsigned, pronounc-
ed fakes and dumped into the waste
basket. One notice gave an account
of young girls suicide due to n
love affair. Another, an account of
the elopement, auto accident and
serious injury of the young lady. The
names Of well-known people were
signed. Not word of truth in eth
er. No young lady had committed
suicide-no young lady eloped.
Why do sensible people do such
fool things? They thinR to fool the
Editor, but there is always some-
thing about those communications to
give them away, The folks who
write them either have little sense,
or think the Editor has none Mt all.
Eery now and then this "wave of
crime" breaks out. These Criminals"

ter-Many Trail Hitters.

Wednesday evening was mcmor-
able in the Billy Sunday campaign il
>Bluefield The largest crowd yet wert
present-the Tabernacle being en-
tirely inadequate to accommodate the
people present.
Tazewcll,-town and county-was
largely in evidence. Billy preached
OH "amusements," and what he did
for dancers and gambling was some
thing fierce. He said the Ounce halls
had sent more people to hell than
the saloons ever had. He gave spec
tncular illustrations of the different
dances, and poured hot shot into the
parlor gamblers and bridge and polk
er players.
At the close of the sermon, some
200 people came down the aislcs, and
gave Billy their hands. saying "nev-
er again."
Mr.. Sunday quoted statistics which
showed that 700. 900 girls went wrong
every ycnr in the United States, and
that eighty-five per cent Of them
were started on the down grade in
the dance hall. He said hc would
rather be II chamber maid in liv-
cry stable than dancing master,
and that there was no comparison
between a saloon keeper ind pro-
fessional tencher of dancing, the lat
ter being the most despicable and
creature that brcnthes.
Progressive euchre, bridge, and
other so-called favoritc parlor games

WORDS ARE FUTILE THINGS.

The following is part of an article
written by j. A. Leslie, Jr., of the
Norfolk Virginian Pilot, Mt at re-
quest of the American Legion for
distribution among number of
newspapers.
S"Ask the man who has crouched in
a shell hole knee-deep in green,
scrummy water and watched creep
ing barrage hem him in with its
circlct of death; ask the man who
has knelt beside n shell-shattered
buddy on No mans Land, and in
hasty moment mingled prayer with
curses at his puny impotency; ask
the man who has watched an advanc-
ing column of infantry charge across
a blood-soaked field straight into the
arms of Christ; ask the man who has
sat, huddled in chill and misery, to
watch the dawn of another fateful
day amid the roar and the grimness
of the Western Front.s He will tell
you that words are futile things.
And that is one reason the Ameri-
can Legion has adopted as its Memo
rial Day emblem the little red pop
py, to be worn on that day by every

did not return. This little red flower
will speak a silent message from the
crimson fields of Flanders, from the
green mounds of Romagne where
thousands of American boys have
ioined the bivouac of the dead.
In every large city of America the
American Legion will sell poppies on
the streets Memorial Day-not to
raise funds for the Legion purposes,
but to stimulate memory of their
comrades in whose hror ceremonies
will be conducted in all parts of
America. From New York to San
Francisco, from El Paso to the Cana
dian steppes, in all American posses
sions everywhere, the true American
will pay homage Monday to the coun-
try's dead and to the ideals for whose
pepetuation they died. From border
line to border line. and between the
two oceans, the waning ,blue and
gray of '61, the fading khaki of '98
and the olive drab of IT, will march
side by side the living in the flesh
y and. the dead in silent, shadowy

can be clearly heard in the hearts Of
those who sent them off to war ant
