quite materially and where it can be
done without impairing the efficiency
of the service it is greatly to be COM

department has made a number of
changes of this nature and these
changes are likely to be followed by
other consultations in the more thin

from Davenport, Iowa, to New Ha-
ven, Conn, last week for the single
purpose of seeing the University OF
Iowa meet Yale university at foot
ball because OF the fact that Mrs.
Richardson is a native Of Groton and
was, with her husband a frequent
visitor in the old home town until
the death OF Mr. Richardson. Mrs.
Richardson is sS years of age, which
fact made her trip across nearly half
the continent matter Of unusual
interest from the standpoint of news
writen Mrs. Richardson's name prior
TO her marriage was Darling, and she
came OF the well known Darling fam
lily of the Wells River valley. Her
home was on Mount Medad, name
and location familiar to Groton
people and Others in that vicinity,
Mount Medad, as Groton people will
tell you, is a place of commanding
position, the high bluff affording an
umobstructed view Of the entire Wells
River valley. Mrs. Richardson is re-
membered by large number of Grot
on people who have closely followed
the newspaper accounts OF her pilgrim
age to New Haven for the Iowa Yale
game.
1t is also OF passing interest that
her husband, the late David Nelson
Richardson, was native Of East Or
ange. migrating west from Vermont
when he was young man and becom
ing associated with his brother, Jen
ness, in the publishing of the Daven
port, Ia, Democrat, which came to be
one of the best known newspapers in
the middle-west. Jenness was the
business manager Of the concern and
David welded the pen in the editorial
sanctum; and thrq'4>h their efforts in
this teamwork they not only built
up a strong paper but a considerable
accumulation Of this worlds goods as
well. It Is understood that David n.
left a good sized fortune
for the widow which explains, in part,
the ability of Mrs. Richardson to COM
mand a private car for twenty Of
her relatives in the far journey from
Iowa to New Haven.
The mother Of the Richardson
boys" lived the last few years OF her
life in Barre, in the home Of DR.. G. B. /
Nichols on North Main street, now
the site Of the Park theatre building.
She lived to a ripe old age.

the evidence he had given Of his In

Vermont, and we proceeded TO the
residence of Governor Van Ness, whose
delightful dwelling and gardens ar
ranged with exquisite taste, were still
more charmingly embcllished by an
assemblage Of ladies and gentlemen,
who. during the whole evening, con-
tended for the pleasure Of approaching
the nations guest, to express their
sentiments of affection aud gratitude
for the services he had rendered to
their country and forefathers; for, in
the state Of Vermont. as in all the
rest OF the union, the females are not
strangers either TO the principles OF
government, or in the obligations of
patriotism; their education, more lib
eral than in any part of Europe, places
them in condition more worthy the
rank Of thinking beings, as il Is well
known that in all the great events,
which have agitated the United States
at different periods, the enthusiasm Of
the women powerfully seconded the
energy OF the magistrates, and the de-
yotion of the warriors. One OF the
which contributed most
to augment my attachment 10 the
Americans during my stay among
them. is the profound respect that

An automobile registered in the
name Of "C1ara A. Arms Of Brattle-
boro began to spit fire when customs
officers tried to stop the vehicle near
Island Pond one night recently by us
ing their own revolvcrs. Evidently
the name fitted the vehicle well but it
does not fit anybody known to reside
in Brattleboro. Two motor ears fol-
lowing the Clara A. Arms were
halted and were found to contain So
cases Of liquor. The natural inference
il drawn that fictitious registration of
automobiles is being done by rum
runners in their plans to thwart the
enforcement agents. That being the
case it is probable that the secretary

II certainly is a subject for inves-
tigation--the report that member OF
the Worcester, Mass, police force was
seen in earnest conversation with two
young men who are alleged to have
been me.fssers Of the bandit gang,
which held up party of tourists near
West Danville, in Vermont, last Fri
day and stole the automobile of the
tourists. The person who declared he
saw the policeman in conversation
with the two suspects as the trio stood
near an automobile, which answered
the description of the stolen vehicle,
i the father of the third young man
who was caught by Vermont officers
near the scene of the crime; and, by
the way, he had just been in d.
rect communication with one Of the
two young men who had inquired
whether the third member of the
party, the son OF the informant, had
returned. The declaration that the al
legged conversation took place on Sat
urday morning and that a story of the
holdup had appeared in Worcester
newspaper the day before that makes
the position Of the Worcester police
man decidedly peculiar. The good
name of the Worcester police depart
ment requires that the matter be
thoroughly investigated.

tions are not final, and as much can
happen in the short space of a week,
johnson may deem it best to shift
and re-arrange it. With the excel
lent showing of other material, a reg
ular place on the team is uncertain.
Coach Hawkins is taking his team
to Grenada with the set purpose of
returning it a victor; he is confident
that it can take the measure of its
strongest rival for gridiron honors.
And let it be stated here, that if
ever a team was qualified to tear
things up, then this aggregation,
lead by Johnson, can accomplish this
and lift Water Valley High out of
its athletic rut.

PRIMITIVE BAPTIST ENJOY
BIG ALL.DAY SONCFEST

The all-day singing held last Sun
day at the Primitive Baptist church
on North Main street in this city
was a grand success. There was an
immense crowd present and the
church building was entirely too
small to accomodate the vast throng
who came-many of them for miles
to enjoy the days singing.
At noon a big basket dinner was
served on the ground, and there was
more than "plenty" for everybody to
eat.
The music was exceptionally fine,
the "Old Harp" song books being
used.

Football!
Game With Calhoun City
Scheduled for Oct. 6 Can
celled in Favor of Ancient
Grid Rival, Grenada. Plen-
ty of Action and Tight Score
Expected.

The game that was scheduled for
Calhoun City on October 6 has been
cancelled in favor of one of Water
Valleys ancient grid rivals-Gre-
NADIA. The game will be played at
Grenada on that date. Since the
Grenada squad has always been one
of the strongest encountered by our
local gridders, it is expected, from
the improvements shown by Watel
Valley High, that the game will be
full of thrills and action. "The
Plow' has suffered several defeats
at the hands of the fast Grenada
squad and will invade that territory
with every man willing to give his
all; and as Capt. Johnson says, with
the determination of bringing home
the bacon"-that is his message to
local supporters of his team.
Johnson gave out the following as
the probable lineup against Grenada
next week. Williamson and Dow will
be the choice for .halfbacks, and with
Johnson at full, and Norris playing
quarter, will round out capable and
we'll balanced backfield. The ends,
which caused so much trouble last
year, will be in charge of Robinson
and Gean. Buckley is one of the

Boy Was Brought to Natchez

Two Younger Brothers Kid

Natchez, Miss, Sept. 25.-Mrs.
Callie Reed, of Louisville, KY, who
on yesterday joined her IL year old
son, James Clark, Jr., kidnapped
nearly four years ago with his two
younger brothers, tonight declared
that she will remain here for the
present in an effort to trace the
whereabouts of her other two chill
dren. Mrs. Reed stated she would ego

to find them.
The three children granted by
the court to Mrs. Reed when she was
divorced from her husband, James P.
Clark, were enticed from the st. Jo-
serh Orphanage, in Dayton, in No
vember 1918, by man whom she
charged, according to authorities
here as being her divorced husband.
Since that time she had lost all trace
of them.
The eldest boy was brought to
Natchez several days ago by the op-
orator of a mail boat, who picked
him up in Louisiana after he had run
away from Eldorado, Ark, where
he said he was living with man
named Charles Williams to whom he
was given by the lddnaper.
He was turned over to the chief of
police here, who notified his parent.
The boy told of being taken with
his two brothers to many cities. The
last time he saw his brothers was
about year and half ago he said.

London, Sept. 27-A Greek revo-

deepening Near East difficulty and
the Allies arc faced with more COM

It is stated that Greece has So

That the Allied governments are
