Big MINSTREL COMING

Get your risibilities in good repair
for they will need overhauling to stand
the stupenduous strain to which they
will be subjected when the big Masonic
minstrel appears at the New Theatre
on April "a and 25.
Two big evenings of mirth and
melody are being prepared for the
delight of Woodstock audiences and
enough talent has been gathered to-
gether to guarantee performances
equal to the best and far superior TO
the usual shows put on by amateurs.
Of course, some of the old timers in
the cast of the Masonic Minstrels are
professionals, and there are head-stones
in local cemeteries which mark the
resting places of those who have
laughed themselves to death at the
inimitable humor of these fun makers.
The big minstrel shows will be un-
der the auspices OF Woodstock Com.
mandery, Knights Templar, and under
the direction of Frank M. Fravel, w
I'M. Calvert and Cadet McDonough o.
Massanutten Academy.
Costumes will come from one of the
largest costuming establishments il
America, and there will be bras
band, full orchestra, latest song hits
newest jokes and barrels of fun. Watcl

together with one sister, Mrs. Dolpha
w. Fry of Woodbury., N. J. and
Houston H. Riley of Woodstock.
Mr.. Riley was quiet, unassuming
young man with many friends and no
enemies, and his devotion to his
church, his loyalty TO his lodge and his
dependability as an employee were the
marked characteristics of his unselfesh
life. For over a score of years he was
employed by j. R. Miller, the Wood
stock Merchant Tailor, and until his
health failed he seldom was absent
from his place employment.
The funeral despite the inclement
weather, was attended by large num-
Der of friends and relatives.

COURT DECIDES IMPORTANT Case

A decision of considerable importance
to husbands and wives who posses:
separate estates and die without viii
has been handed down by Judge F. B
Whiting in the Circuit Court of Shen
andoah County, and the holding of the
Court indicates the importance of wills
in the disposition of estates if they are
to descend as the possessors would
prefer.
Though there may not have been
anything in the case at issue upon
which to base claim that the estate
distributed went otherwise than the
decedent may have wished, there are
many land owners who are ignorantly
relying upon the law to pass title IN
accordance with their desires, when
the law may fail in this purpose.
The wife of j. E. Fleming, of Toms
Brook died without will leaving chill
dren by former marriage and these
children set up claim to the entire
estate of deceased, alleging that under
the Virginia law the husband was not
entitled to dover enterest. The present
statute is vague and ambiguous in
dealing with the rights of children of
either party are involved, and in de-
Gliding the case the Court held that
Fleming had no interests whatever in
the real estate left by his wife, and
only the children by former marriage,
there being no issue from the union
with Fleming, should share in the
estate.
