Signs marked the way. We passed
Mr.. and Mrs. a. b: Belts residence
and store and l found him at home,
while his wife was away visiting her
mother. We promised to stop on tho
return trip and we hurried on TO
DanVflle. The entire distance was
about 40 miles. Darkness overlook
us. We had travelled so long until
we doubted that we were on the right
road. At a cross road, we hailed n
passing automobile and the reply of
straight ahead was reassuring and
we pressed onward. We passed
some colored people trudging down
the roadway. In reply to enquiry as
to whether we were OIL the right road
to Dnnville, they answered that they
did not know. Soon, we could see
the lights Of Danville.

a DANGEROUS NEIGHBoRHooD

Some people say, like Prussic acid,
1t Is sure death. The officers con.
tent themselves with capturing the
product Of these Stills, along with
the unfortunate boot-leggers, who
may be In possession Of 1t. 1t is
reported that bootleg liquor may be
bought in the neigtborhood for $500
and $500 per gallon. When it is
understood that this can be retailed
In cities Mt prices approximating from
$500 to $4,000 per gallon, it will
be readily understood why boot
leggers take the risk Of paying fine
and remaining in jail from one to
six months. We left Martinsvflle
that evening for Danville, arriving
there without incident at about 7
o'clock.

Lucille, the beloved child of Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac S. Davis, died Wednes-
day afternoon, February 18th, at
2:30. On last Sunday she attained
the age of eight years. The immedi-
ate cause of her death was the growth
of tumor on the brain. On discov-
cry of the same, all was done by
medical skill and watchful care of
loving hearts, that was possible; but
in response to the Savior's call, she
entered the haven of divine rest and
glory. Early in life she was baptized
into membership of the Lutheran
church.
