/ "Wednesday and so impressed was the
Inspector with the Towns new pos

sion of unqualified approval OF the

1lr Chambers stated that the Wood

all offices in towns of like size in Vir-
ginia, and he was particularly impress
ed with the splendid lighting system
in the new building. To quote the In
spector Woodstock has post office
building of which it may be proud, and
certainly the government is more than
pleased with the manner in which Mr..
Cha pman has met the government re-
quirements. The Department is par
ticularly interested in having plenty of
daylight in buildings where its en-
ployees work and particularly in post
offices where the eye strain is great
Inasmuch as large volume of mail
is now delivered from the office Mr..
Chambers stated the location is a mat

A COMPARISON

Harrisonburg is increasing its men,
bership in its Chamber of Commerce
by leaps and bounds. Obversly Wood
stock is in IFS election period for two
directors of the Chamber of Commerce,
and when the first series of ballots
were opened on the 18th but fifty two
members had voted. There are over
hundred on the roll. Over half OF
the members, who should be vitality
interested, failed to vote. Advance.
ment in Harrisonburg and apathy in
Woodstock, and then we wonder why
the Harrisonburg City FORCES ahead. Ii
is somebody's fault that Woodstock
lags. Is it yours? Take little in.
ventory of yourself and see just how
you stand with yourself as a wide
awake hustler for Woodstock and its
progress. Honestly, are you doing
your bit II you are not, get busy and
in helping yourself you will help
others.

VOWED HE WOULD
and HE ALSO DID

In addition TO being school teacher
S. A. Funkhouser, whose home is 10
Gated between Jerome and ConicviIle
is a Justice of the Peace, and in both
capacities he has rendered signal ano
satisfactory services.
This is merely Introductory to story
which has percolated thru the wooded
section of his tutorial and judicial BALI
wick and it tells of how a temporary
hurt when applied TO the western part
of boys pants, when the boy faces
east, will become a permanent hurt to
his pride.
Years ago lad named Weatherholtz
was mentally masticating the three RS
at Teaberry Point school, and Justice
Funkhouser was teaching the young
ideas how to shoot, figuraturely of
course. Some rule of decorum was
demolished by the lad, and the teacher
applied such physical corrective treat
ment as he deemed advisable. Young
Weatherholtz took his punishment,
and he also took VOW to reciprocate
the chastisement when he arrived at
such physique as would justify the
attempt.
Recently the lad, now a sturdy youth,
decided that the day of retribution was
at hand and as consequence his
former teacher was attacked. Whether
he whipped the Squire or not the mes
sage does not relate. There is no
doubt though about Weatherholtz hav-
ing been fined for either an attempt or
success, in making good the vow of
yesteryear.

TWO STILLS FOUND
ONE MAN ARRESTED

When five gallon jug Of apple jack
comes hurting through inky darkness
and lands at an officers feet it is a
prima facie case that somewhere
nearby is lawbreaker. And there was,
and out OF TIE fumes OF the prescribed
panacea for the blues came Charles
Turner, and with him came Sheriff B.
M. Borden and his deputy Mckinley
Ryman.
This all occurred near Hudson's
Cross Roads, not far from that neck OF
woods from whence has often come
that doubtful juice of JOY which car
ries in its wake jail sentences and
fifty dollar fines.
Sheriff Borden was reasonably sure
that Turner was making moonshine or
in some other manner violating the
prohibition laws. Magistrate Arthur
Stickley II, issued search warrant
and at a. m Saturday the home OF
Turner was searched. In an clubhouse
was found a quantity of mash, still cap,
still and worm. During the raid the
Jug came hurting from the house.
Turner was brought to Woodstock and
bailed for the May term of Court, in
the penalty of $500, with P. D. Baker
as surety.
STILL ON HITE FARM.
M. L Hite, prominent surveyor
and Shenandoah County farmer, can
raise most anything on his farm near
Lantz Mill. He has never heretofore
raised still, though his lands are ex-
ceedingly fertile. Tuesday morning
while ambulating over his acres, Mr.. |
Hite saw something which the most |
diversified of crops would not en-
brace. 1t was still, one of ten gal
Ions capacity, fully equipped for pro-
ducing its poisonous products, and
showing signs of recent use Mr..
Hite Immediately phoned Sheriff Bor-
den, who went to the scene of the
discovery and brought the still to the
Jail, where it awaits an
owner. If any citizen in Mr.. Hite's
section of the county has lost still it
may be seen at the Sheriff's office.
