people of Maine to put it over quietly

Maine, out of the goodness or our
hearts! Pure Philanthropy We

that was necessary on your part was

the singers who dropped into the store
for a rehearsal being f. E. Harris,
M. C. Viles and G.. f. Decker with
Nay s. Varney, who was one OF the
village loafers. Little Nathalie Beau
lier. who so favorably impressed the
audience on her previous appearance,
was again charming and this time
was costumed as boy. There were
many original take-offs which with
quaint costumes and other new fea-
lures added greatly to the enjoyment
OF the evening. The High School
Orchestra furnished delightful pre-

The customary life of suburban
towns was stilled into cessation yes
terday as tribute was paid to the lato
President while he was being laid in
his final resting place. In almost
every community buildings were
draped in mourning, flags were fay
ed at half mast. there was a silence
that indicated peace On earth toward
all people. Services were held in
most of the churches, prayers ere
delivered, hymns sung and memoir
ial addresses made up the chief topic
of the pastors. The streets were de-
serted, shops closed and a hush of
the wind covered the solitude that
reigned throughout.
In Woodbridge traffic halted at the
stroke of 5 P. M. as bells of churches
began to toll. Those or the streets
removed their hats and kept silent
for more than five minutes. Police
men on duty removed their caps and
joined in prayer. Similar attention
a given in Carteret when at the
sound of the bells, some kneeling in
prayer, others standing at attention

Lodge No. S41, B. P. o. S, that is TO

for those only who make reserva-
lions up to Saturday, August Is. This
rule will not be broken as the COM

oblige all who request tickets up to
and including Saturday, August IL.
After this the book will be closed.

Sheriff. so, Doesn't
Lock Up Prisoners
BY BOB DORMAN
NEA Service staff Writer

CUMBERLAND COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. 9:-Cumberland county.
now the Suggesting of spectacular
murder trials growing out of a long
smouldering feud, has a sheriff 80
years old who offers himself and his
longevity as evidence that feuds are
not ordinarily a menace to human
life.
King Adams has been sheriff for
the past 32 years. and his constitu-
ents maintain that he can have the
job again this fall.
People make too much fuss about
murders" says Adams, who has been
in the spotlight since the trials of
the Garrett brothers began, as the
result of the killing of Rev. r. S.
Pierce, circuit. rider.
The sheriff has his own methods of
handling law violatofs, a method
that does not work undue hardship
on the county in the matter of jail
upkeep.
The county Jail has had but one
prisoner during the past six years.
At present its door swings wide open
to all who care to enter. Prisoners
are mostly released on their W
recognizance Or a nominal bail.
why should we put 'em in jail?"
says Sheriff Adams, II know every
body in the county. and nobody's in
a hurry to leave. l just tell 'em to be
in court on such a day, and that's
all there's to it. If they don't come
in, the judge is apt to be pretty hard
on 'em.
"But I reckon I'll quit the job this
fall. I've worked hard at 1t for S2
years, and it's about time I began to
enjoy life before I get Old.
"How do 1 keep so active? Well.
just remember hat OF Virginia
grows plenty of tobacco and corn"
Adams, who is a veteran of the
Civil War, is the patriarch of the
county and has scores Of relatives
hereabouts. He Is talking of swear
ing in his grandniece, Lucy Adams,
as a deputy sheriff.
