DECEMBER COURT DAY

Approximately three hundred auto
mobiles were parked on the streets
centering at the court house, giving
fair idea of the big crowd which came
to town on Monday court day.. Figur-
ing four to car, twelve hundred
citizens were here for almost as many
different purposes and they came de-
spite overhanging clouds which spat-
out spray at times and at other times
delivered a deluge which sent the
pedestrians scurrying for cover.
No busy bees were ever buster than
County Treasurer j. D. Harpine and
his smiling corps of assistants, for it
was the last day for tax payment with
out penalty, and the rich and the poor
and the low and the high paid over
their money with smile or sigh.
The aggregate receipts were close to
$4,000. made up of amounts ranging
from sixteen cents to hundred dol
lars, more of the smaller bills being
paid as most of the large tax pay
ers had already liquidated their indebt-
edness
There were some applications for
hunting license in the clerks office
among them being four non resident
licenses, which under the special law
for Shenandoah County cost the ap-
plicants $500 each for three days
hunting.
MERCHANTS BUSY.
In most of the stores crowds O
shoppers were making Christmas pur
chases, showing that they had beer
innoculated with the "buy early
spirit. Woodstock merchants hav'
unusually attractive displays of season
able stocks and more and more count,
people are realizing that purchase
may be made at the county seat a
prices often lower than out of tow
houses for the same class of merchan
disc.
The unseasonableness of the weathe
has delayed buying of winter good
and there has been consequent pric
reduction to move stocks.r However
the B. v. D. weather will probably 500
pass by and there will be scrambl
for borolean merchandise.
The moving pictures, skating rinl
pool rooms and bowling alleys, b,
cause of the weather, were freel
patronized and Ebert's auction sale {
automobiles drew large crowd.

MAIL EARLY

One of the important features In the
Shop Early, Mail Early campaign,
which is being put on throughout the
country by the Post Office Depart
ment, is the proper addressing and
securely wrapping of Christmas pack
|ages. When you wrap your Christmas
packages, wrap them securely, put
lyour address in the upper left corner,
SO, il by any chance, it should go
lastray, it can be returned to you and
not sent to the dead letter office. Tbs
good folks of our community last year
helped to bring JOY and happiness to
hundreds Of thousands of postmen ano
clerks. Let's do our shopping early
land mailing early this year, so that we
|may again enable the postmen and the

J. DWIGHT HISEY--A TRIBUTE

Touched by the sadness of the
untimely death of Worshipful Master,
j. D. Hisey, and in appreciation of the
priceless services rendered by him to
his brother Masons of Cassia Lodge
No. 142 A. F. G A. M, it is the desire
OF the Lodge that there be spread upon
its records few thoughts in memory
OF our departed brother, and that a
message of consolation be sent to his
bereaved family.
Brother Hisey was made Entered
Apprentice in Cassia Lodge in the year
1914, and was shortly passed to the de-
gree OF Fellowcraft and raised to the
sublime degree of Master Mason. After
years of faithful service, Brother
Hlsey, on two occasions, became the
recipient of the highest honor that can
be conferred upon Brother Mason of
Cassia Lodge, that of being elected to
the office of Worshipful Master. The
performance of his various duties has
been marked by the display, to an un-
usual degree, of those characteristics
essential to the high post which he
occupied: untiring energy in the per-
torrance OF his Masonic duties and an
unfaltering fidelity to his trust. That
well known and appreciated character
istic of self sacrifice and service for
others-no task too large to be under
taken, no work too arduous to be per-
formed, no act of charity so small as to
be neglected-actuated the mind and
soul OF our deceased brother, and un-
der its sway, he was borne along until
he reached the breaking point This
characteristic of self-sacrfiice and
service for others was peculiarly pre-
dominant in all his Masonic under
takings:.
Though We are henceforth deprived
OF his fellowship, his memory shall
live in our hearts and his example of
steadfastness of purpose and devotion
to duty will leave an indelible i'm
preston on the character of this
Lodge.
We extend to his family our most
heartfelt sympathy.

DEATH OF MRS CHARLES PENCE

| Mrs. Margaret Logan Pence, wife o.
DIR. Chas. w. Pence, OF Philadelphia
died at an early hour Sunday morning
at the home Of the Misses Fence or
Massanutten Heights. Woodstock,
after having been critically i'll for the
past three weeks.
Mrs. Pence had been ia failing
health for several years bnt was ever
brave and cheerful. About six weeks
ago she came with her husband for a
visit to their sisters, and thinking the
air of her native Valley would restore
her failing health decided to remain
for while. For time she seemed
greatly benefited by the change but
the inevitable relapse came from which
skilled physicians and attentive nurses
conld not save her and her gentle
spirit passed on to meet her loved ones
who had gone before.
Mrs. Pence was the only daughter of
the late Joseph T. Logan, of Harris
onburg, for many years Clerk of the
Courts of Rockingham County, and of
Mrs. Adelaide Haas Logan, a native of
Woodstock. She was granddaughter
OF Maj. John Haas, of Woodstock who
In his day was one of the most promi-
nent and influential men of the Valley.
Mrs. Pence was born in Harrison
burg where her early life was spent.
After graduating at the Harrisonburp
High Schools her education was finish
ed at the State College for Women at
Farmville, Va, After her marriage to
DR.. Charles w. Pence they resided in
Washington and later in Philadelphia
Since girlhood she had been faithful
member of the Methodist Church.
Surviving beside her husband are
the following relatives-Judge T. N.
Haas, OF Harrisonburg, a cousin, Mrs.
William r. Smithey of the University
OF Virginia, niece, and Conrad T.
Logan, OF Harrisonburg, nephew.
Funeral services were held at the
home of the Misses Pence at 11:3Ol
Tuesday morning, the Rev. w. d.
Keene, OF the Methodist Church and
the Kew. Robert Lee Bair, of the Re-.
formed Church conducting the services. |
Pallbearers from the home were Geo.
Clover, Don Grabill, w. G. Murdoch, |
N. ii. German, M. M. Wunder, DR.. w. /
II. Wunder and Frank Grabill.
The body was then taken to Har-
rlsonburg where Rev. j. C. Copen.
naver of the Methodist Church offici.
ated at the brief service in Woodbine
cemetery, where the last member of
her imme date family was laid to restl
n the Logan Lot. |

BOARD nr SUPERVISORS

| The anticipated calo.ic session OF ih'
Board of Supervisors, due 10 I'M
participated vote on The Boards formeI
faction in laying in The fable a reso
luton requesting the resignation o
supervisor j. F. Wisman, failed t
materialize. The dove OF place hover
ed over the deliberations of the body
and when the former resolution wa'
called up George R. Golladay, member
from Stonewall district, moved that the
resolution be stricken from the records
There was no second to the motion
when Supervisor VIM. Hotel o.
Johnston district stated that inasmuch
as the full Board was not present il
might be advisable to continue the case
until next meeting. This was done
and the resolution, like Mahomet's
coffin, is suspended with no tangible
support.
In this connection it might be stated
that the Board has no power to act
adversely in the Wisman matter, and
whatever action might be finally taken
will be but an expression of Mr..
Wisman's co-members on the ethics in
volved in his continuance as Board
member after his trial and conviction
on misdemanour charge. Only the
Circuit Court would have the power
to remove the Supervisor, and what
ever action the Board might take would
be but an indication to the Court as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of having Supervisor
WiSman serve under the circumstances.
BUSINESS TRANSACTED
Sheep claims aggregating $3.50. filed
since the last meeting of the Board,
were allowed.
Road petitions of A. L. Miller and
others in Davis district and c. M.
Dellinger. and others in Madison
district were referred to district road
boards and continued.
A lease to the Shenandoah National
Bank for Is feet of land in the rear of
the bank building was granted to date
from the original lease made to the
bank.
The road from Calvary to st. Luke
was made part of the County system
of roads.
That portion of the old turnpike from
Bly's garage to the foot OF the grade at
Hill was abandoned by the
county and will be closed to traffic
This will cut off travel over the
dangerous bridge at that point.
Anumber of bills including pay for
several registrars for purging the
registration lists were allowed.
Application was made for the
County's share of State road funds due
from the gasoline tax and otherwise.

BANK WILL ENLARGE.

The increased and increasing volume
of business done by the Shenandoah
National Bank of Woodstock has neces-
STATED the taking of steps for the en-
largement of the banking house on
Court Street. The leasing of fifteen
feet of additional space in the rear OF
the present building, upon which an
extension will be Immediately con-
structed, will give the bank a larger
lobby and make room for such modern
equipment as will facilitate the work
of the institution and add to the con-
venience of its customers.
Tentative plans call for the building
of two story annex jointly by the
Valley Loan &: Trust Company and the
bank. Additional offices will be added
to those on the second floor of the
present building, and vault with all
of the newest and most modern con-
veniences and safety devices will be
built. A large number Of additional
safety deposit boxes will be added to
care for the many customers who are
beginning to realize that safety de-
post box is the ideal place for the
preservation and safety of valuables.
The bank already possesses such
equipment, and safety devices as the
present quarters will allow, and in re-
modelling the interior not only will ad-
ditional equipment be added to expe-
dite the increasing business but new
and up-to-date fittings will be nstslled
and the lobby made as attractive as
those of banks in the larger towns and
cities.
The Shenandoah National has re-
sources of over 100000 and its stock
with a par value of 500 has recently
sold for close to $500 share.

THE ANNUAL NEETINGOF The
SHEN. COUNT, FAIR ASSOCIATION

The Annual Meeting Of the Shenat
doah County Fair Association held
the Court House here Tuesdsy fe
suited in the reelection Of James 4
Smoot President and The presen
Board of Directors.
| The meeting was placid and pleasan
until it came to consideration OF tn
revision of the bylaws, providing 10
the selection of a secretary and treas
urer. Heretofore there has been NJ
settledp plan for the selection OF thes'
officers and the report of COMMITTEES
recommending that they be appointe'
by the President, subject to con
firmation by the Board of Director
met with considerable opposition OF
the floor.
A motion to substitute the Board o
Directors in the selection OF the two
officers indicated was tabled by
close vote and by a similar vote the
president was empowered to desig
nate the secretary and treasurer with
the appreciation of the directors.
Several other amendments to the
bylaws for expediting the business Of
the association were considered ano
passed.
The financial statement of the Treas
urer indicated that the Association
was managed in business like man
ner and in an economical way, con-
sistent with giving the people OF the
county a fair up to the high standard
of first class agricultural fairs.
The receipts for the year 1924 were
sl3, 7O4 II and the expenditures, sl2,'
1911 showing balance for the year
of $922.39. In the expenditures were
s2OOqfor acknowledgements onthe
grounds which added to the balance ON
hand would indicate net earnings OF
$2922 80. A balance of $22S5.46 was
carried over from the preceding year,
and the flattering report of the Treas
urer shows that the Association is one
of the few county fairs operated at a
profit.
The plant of the Association is worth
S35, 900 and on this the outstanding in
debtedness is only $4,000. Deducting
the 1924 balance from the outstanding
obligations of the Association there is
left but $4,000 of debt.
While no announcement was made
of the filling of the offices Of secre-
tary and treasurer, it is presumed that
j. Walter Bailey of Woodstock will be
reappointed to the first office and c.
NJ. Shannon of Mt. Jackson to the
latter, as both of these officers have
rendered splendid service to the Asso-
citation.
