in one of the big chairs by the Ere;
there was little furrow between his

an overwhelming realization of all
that his brothers death really meant
Neither spoke for a few moments

a half sigh.

Bretherton made n little gesture Of
disgust.
She does a hundred and one little
things like that" Fisher went on.
Harmless things in themselves, but
they go against the grain all the
same. Besides, you couldn't possibly
have her down at Red Grange without
some sort of a chaperon.
You're forgetting Aunt Florence;
she's come back of course, if I go.

American Motorist, dovoting practically
the entire edition to the many scenic
and historical attractions of the Old

duced in colors, has been copied from
the magnificent view of the Shenan-
doah Valley, taken from the top of the
Mountain, East of Woodstock the work
of Mr.. H. Morrison Jr., of this city.
Only part Of the picture could be in.

much favorable comment and the

A GAME or TRY AND CATCH

The criminal docket of Shenandoah
C .unty Circuit Court VIII be cleared
'up coincident with the time when The
frog in fhe well reaches the top after
jumping up one foot in the day and
falling back two at night.
No sooner Is the docket cleared Of
one violation of the prohibition law
than one or more are dded to fill up
the gap in the continuous efforts to
free the county Of the activities of the
bootleggers and illicit manufacturers
of Ryals Run rejunevator.
A considerable dent was made in the
docketed cases of this character during
the present term of court, but no
sooner was rift made in the legal
clouds than along comes Deputy Sheriff
Mckinley Ryman and adds two
more names to the list of alleged
purveyors of fusel oil and firewater.
Monday evening Charles Funkhouser
and his welded wife were brought to
Woodstock charged with the possession
of a complete still and six and one hall
gallons of the aforesaid rejunevator,
aud bail was given in their behalf for
grand jury action.
1t is alleged that out where Ryals

slopes where souse stuff is so often

gallon still lay concealed beneath the
bossoming dog wood. Hard by beneath
blanket of lichen and feathery fern
rested the six and one half gallons Of
H. o and hell.
Deputy Ryman had cognizance of the
presence of the plant and with Mag
|istrate S. A. Funkhouser, in whose
Judicial bailwick the still was secreted,
he lay in wait ON Monday for some one
to come and carry away the juice. Al
about p. m. it is alleged that Funk

zon and trekked to the Sheriff watched
spot. Ii is further alleged that wher
the officers confronted the pair Mrs.
Funkhouser tainted away. 1t is also
stated that the liquor had been manu-
featured but twenty-four hours pre-.
vious to its seizure.
Out of all the allegations jury will
seek the truth, and in the meantime,

Few classes as large have ever been
graduated in rural Virginia and GER
tainly none with a better personnel

ness OF the class prophet, thoroughly
enjoyed by all who heard it, was con-
tradicted by the appearance and de-
who have within themselves the power
to accomplish big things along the
pathway of life.
Glass Night at the New Theatre on
Wednesday was the outstanding at

CAVERNS BRIDGE open

The damage to the approach to the
sbutments of the Neff bridge, across
the Shenandoah river on the road to
Shenandoah Caverns was repaired in
record breaking time by large force
of men under the direction OF Mr.. h.
|B. Chapman. This bridge is the con-
Meeting link in the road from the Val
LEY Turnpike to the caverns. and
though the washed out approaches did
not cut off tourist traffic to the
Grotto of the Gods, it necessitated
transfer.
On Monday when the Board OF Super
visors met at the Neff Bridge an order
was made directing Mr.. Chapman tt
do the work, and it was anticipated
that it would require ten days to make
| the fills. Within twelve hours after the
entering of the order truck was driver
across the structure, and automobilist:
can now get to the cavernS without
interference or delay.

MT. JACKSON HAS
Lone MAYOR Fight

Save in Mt. jackson, where double
sci of candidates are seeking municipal
honors, the towns in Shenandoah
county will hold elections in June de-
void of lhe rivalry which usually comes
from corporation contests
One set of candidates has been filed
for New Market, headed by G. A.
Woods for Mayor, with B. F. White,
f. NJ. Rice, D S. Cushman, M. A.
Price, Joseph F. Tusing and j. w.
Grove for councilmen.
The voters in Mt. jackson will have
an opportunity of choosing between
William NJ. Helsley, the incumbent and
S. A. Moffett, for Mayor, Two groups
of councilmen are filed. In the one are
Jesse r. Smoot, C. w. Hopewell, E. Z.
Dingledine, o. L. Burkett, w. L.
Vehrencamp and R. l.. Getz and R. 7.
Brown, G. j. HOTEL George E. Thorn
berry, E. E. Rinker, c. R. Miller and
j. E. Hepner.
Strasburg candidates are the pres
emf incumbents, headed by C. w.
Heater for mayor and H. L. Borden,
VIM. F. Lichliter, F. H. Chandler, E.
E. Keister, H. T. Hopewell, Fred D.
Maphis, g. g. Crawford and H. F.
Woolf for councilmen.
The Toms Brook list of candidates
was not filed within the prescribed 30
days before election, the applications
having been received at the Clerk S
Office on May Is, five days late. How
ever, there is no opposition to the
present officers in that town and these
will be reelected. They are Mayor
Earl R. Miley and Councilmen w. D..
Kibler, C. S. Teller, R. NJ. Crabill, S.
D. Ritenour, o. G. Borden and G, L.
Borden.
Edinburg has no ticket in the field
and the voters of that town will write
their preferences on the ticket on
election day. L. A. Sheetz filed as
candidate for town sergeant and H. o.
Hisey is a seeker for the same office.
However, the latter filed too late and
only the name of Sheetz will be print
ed on the towns municipal ticket.
Under the new charter Woodstock
holds an election every four years,
and the present Mayor and council
men have two years yet to serve.

COURT RESUMES GRIND.

The May term OF Circuit Court for
Shenandoah County, reconvened on
Tuesday, taking up such criminal cases
as were ready for hearing, and dispos-
ing of considerable chancery work
Charles Mumaw, charged with the
possession of large quantity of ardent
spirits found on the farm of his grand
father, Sylvanus Mumaw, during the
raid in which still was captured, and
for the possession of which the latter
was convicted, was found not guilty
after jury deliberated on the case for
some hours. The charge was inter-
woven with the case against Sylvanus
Mumaw because of co-tenancy, and it
will be recalled that the tragic death of
the grandfather followed his convic-
ton.
Charles Turner, who was arrested at
Cross Roads on charge of storing and
possessing ardent spirits was given
a fifty dollar fine and thirty day jail
sentence.
Charles Lindamood, paranthetically
the name Charles figured in the pres
est session of court to as great an ex-
tent as the Charleys stand out in the
history of England, got the usual and
stereotyped fifty and thirty for his
transgression of the liquor laws.
