vate Braxter, colored. of the second
precinct station, walked in. The eff
feet of the policeman's appearance In
the Confederate convention was as
humorous as 1t was unanimous. The
tumult stopped precipitately, and the
only noise that could be heard for
minute was the surprised swish of
intaken breaths as the delegates
rubbed their eyes to make sure their
vision had not been impaired.
Braxter Diplomat.
There beneath two draped Confed-
crate flags, fianked on either side BY
a portrait of Robert e. Lee and
Thomas Jefferson. with the stern
countenance of Stonewall Jackson
staring coldly at him from the oppo-
site, wall, stood the hand of the law.

vention OF the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy. But Private Braxter
proved himself to be a diplomat and
q fast thinker.
Sizing up the situation at a glance
and realizing that the need for his
presence had disappeared. the police
man quietly apologized for the iutru-
sion and said that he would remain
on the sidewalk for a time in case
he should be needed. Several of the
delegates protested and asked him to
remain, but Braxter had the good
judgment to realize that he was not
only In the wrong pew, but also in
the wrong church, SO to speak.
Stems Tide of Riot.
His appearance, served to stem the
riot, however. Although the rest of
the session was never without Its
heckling and disorder, at least the
danger of more serious trouble never
be came acute and the election of the
officers was reached amid laughs and
shouts of protest, protest, protest"
from every section of the hall. The
protestants refused TO vote. but the
following ticket was elected regard

Huston; second vice president, Miss

DODGE BROTHERS REDUCE
PRICES ON SPECIAL TYPE CARS

In view ofthe upward trend in au-
tomobile prices considerable surprise
was occasioned by Dodge Brothers re-
cent announcement of a reduction in
prices of their special type cars.
Dodge Brothers were able to do
the unexpected, according to the fac
tory announcement, on account of the
increased volume of their purchases
Of special equipment for the special
type cars.
Dodge Brothers special types con-
sist of the standard cars equipped
with accessories which produce the
utmost in comfort and convenience
and appearance of the car. Among
these are steel disc wheels, five bal
loon type tires, nickel trimmed radia-
tor, nickle plated bumbers automatic
windshield wiper, rear view mirror,
scuff plates, cowl lights and motto
meter with lock. A special body
stripe is also provided.
Manufacturing and buying these
accessories in quantity, Dodge Broth
ers are naturally able to install them
at prices considerably below what the
owner would have to pay at retail.
The public was quick to sense this
and the demand for the special types
grew steadily from the moment they
were made available. Their conven-
fence and appearance has elected
these who know the volume that has
ben attaind can readily understand
how Dodge Brothers were able to
make reduction when others were
announcing advances.
Four Dodge Brothers cars are af-
fected BY the reduction-the special
Touring Car, special Roadster, spec
ial "a" Sedan, and special 4-Passen-
ger Coupe. The "B" Sedan and the
Business Coupe have also been added
to the lire of special types.
AS the reduction was made possible
by economies effected in the purchase
Of equipment used exclusively on the
special type cars, the standard types
are in no way affected, according to
Tom Mcmahon local dealer. The prices
of all standard types remain unehang
ed.

MEETING OF BARBOUR COUNTY
HEALTH ASSOCIATION

The regular monthly meeting of
the Barbour County Health Associa-
ton was held in Belington Wednes
day Oct. LIST. The report of Miss
Mayo Maternal and Child Welfare
Nurse showed the following results
for the month of September. Total
visits during the month, 210, meet
ings attended 10, clinics held 2, chill
dren examined 83. Mrs. E. B. Shat
fer was appointed temporary Treas
urer in the absence of Mrs. Hop
Woods. Miss Edna Hardsaw of Char
lesion Supervisor of School Work in
the state who spent a few days of
last week in Barbour Co. visiting
schools with Miss Eunice Munson,
newly arrived School Nurse for the
County was present and outlined the
school work. Miss Munson received
her training at Blodgett Memorial
Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan
For number of years she has done
public health work in Grand Rapids
and later was supervisor of tubercu-
losis work lin Des Moines. Miss Mum
son entire time will be devoted to
school work. 1t is a we'll known fact
that large numbers of school children
throughout the country are suffering
from physical defects diseased ton
sils, adenoids, defective teeth, MANU-
triton ETC., which are real handicaps
to them not only in their physical de-
velopment but mental development as
well. Many of these defects without
a school nurse would go undiscovered
and uncorrected. 1t is to the chill
dren that we are looking for our fu-
ture citizens, there will be great pro-
blems for them to solve and hard
battles to fight, this generation owes
them every opportunity for physical
and mental development. The expen-
ses CT the school nurse will be borne
entirely by the local Red Cross chap
ter and the anti-tuberculosis seal
sale. Let us get behind this work
and make it success.

UNCLE BILL HAS A
PLEASANT DAY


DEAR EDITOR-Saturday October
the 4th 1924, will prove one of the
brightest in my memory To start
the "Ball Rolling" / received four in
vitations from four young ladies to
attend Community meeting at Good
old Boulder (You know this is Leap
Year. OF course | accepted. | board
ed the morning train at Belington,
and went to Phillippi,' rather than
spend the time of the "long wait" at
1ygarts Junction. At Philippi, met
my good friend A. F. Bennett, who
showed his good sportmanship' by
his offer to take off his coat and
help me and the entire ticket to win.
This is the spirit that wins.
While waiting for the "Up-train"
whom should l meet but my friend
Troy E. Hardman, candidate for State
Senate also bound for Boulder. When
we arrived at Boulder, every one ex-
tended "the glad hand" We wended
our way to the splendid new School
House on the HIP. Here we receiv-
ed hearty welcome. Jolly Lee Ar
mentrout delivered the address of
Welcome which made everone feel
good. Rev. Lambert, responded in
happy manner
The splendid music furnished by the
Hall Boulder and Hebron choirs is
deserving of special mention Sena-
tor Hardman, was called on for
talk. He "took up his cross" and
made Hit. 1t was now time to eat
We hied our way to the hill side
back of the School house and Oh Boy,
the sight that met our gaze made the
hearts of all epicures beat for joy. |
was too busy to keep an eye on Troy,
but feel safe in saying that he was
in the thick of the Fray. AS for your
Uncle, he wus thar too. Here he
struck some snags, after eating until
he was in misery, some one OF these
good women would invite him to eat
with them and add IF you don't eat
with me | wont vote for YOU. Well
with this dire threat what could
poor fellow do? There was but one
thing to do and that was to EAT
more until he was too full for utter
ance After dinner our good friend
d. j. Taft, President of the E. G. S.
S. was introduced and gave US one
of his characteristic heart felt talks
When our dearly loved friend is call
ed to his Crest Barbour county will
miss him He is building for Eter-
nifty. May the Good Master per nit
him to rmeain with us as long as
possible.
AS to Troy and your Uncle. Its my
opinion that if they could EAT their
way to Charleston, they would go
cover the top.
Mrs. 'Lias Saffel was very kind
to your Uncle she did not call on him
until that dinner had time to settle"
little.
| wish to congratulate these good
Boulder folks on the success of their
Community meeting. By these we
can to a great extend fill the place
of the Old fashion,Log Rolling. The
House Raising Corn Husking and
kindred gatherings. By these we are
able to "take stock, in our strenu-
GUS lives We must reserrect some
of those old time customs or else out
time honored institutions will fall.
Affectionately your,
