IN APPRECIATION

Right in the heart of our sleeping
city,
A frey serpent raised its head;
Bent on the work of dire destruction,
Filling the peoples hearts with
dread.
In the path of the pitiless monster,
Helpless victims at his mercy lay;
While the fire ragged in blazing fury,
Until all seemed doomed upon its
way.
But swift to the rescue that bitter
morning,
True to their motto to protect and
to save;
Came loyal men from neighboring
cities
To the aid of our firemen, true and
brave.
Side by side those men were noble
heroes,
Step by step as the cold wind froze
their breath;
They knew as they climbed the icy
ladders
That one false move meant certain
death.
But they never paused or ever
faltered,
Until Ger the flames they gained
control,
And although the fire caused dew
astation,
There was not the loss of single
soul.
There cannot be too much done in
appreciation
Or too much said to express our
thanks
To the hearts SO brave and hands so
steady,
OF the God-made men in the firemen
ranks.

The Rev. R. Paul Russell, the fight
ing evangelist from Nashville, Ten
nessee, after soliciting funds from
nearly everybody i'm Beverly, was
among the missing on Monday morn
ing.
Russell came to Beverly on Thanks
giving day and gave a hard luck
story to Rev. Lee Hicks, about not
being able to pay his rent in Phila-
delphia and several other stories
which aroused Hicks sympathy and
resulted in his being hired by the
Baptist Church as a solicitor of funds
to help pay off the deficit due on the
new Church.
The Swamp Angel" or "The Eagle
of the South" as Russell called him
self, started to convert the city.
Evangelistic meetings were arranged
in the various white churches and
he also arranged for baptism in the

GETTING OUT A PAPER

Getting out paper is no joke.
If we print jokes folks say we
are silly.
If we don't, they say we are too
serious.
4-If we publish ahisknaI matter they
say we lack variety.
If we publish things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write.
If we stay on the job, we ought to
be out rustling news.
If we are rustling news, we are
not attending to business in our own
department.
If we don't print contributions, we
don't show proper appreciation.
Like as not some fellow will say
we swiped this from an exchange.
That's just what we did.

prison at Asbury Park.
At a Khan meeting held in the
Methodist Church on Sunday, mem
bers of the organization bitterly de-
nounced the embezzeler and it is
thought that is why he made such
hasty retreat.
Russell stopped nearly everybody
he met on the street as well as all of
the local merchants and it is es-
timated that he collected close to
$4,000 and when he reported to the
trustees of the church, he showed the
list of contributors saying, These
brethren have pledged the amounts
opposite their names but l haven't
collected yet" 1t has been stated
that some of our most prominent
men had their names ON the list
On Monday when he had made his
getaway, the telephone in Rev.
Hicks home started ringing and has
continued ever since, with people
trying to learn Russell's whereabouts.
This was the first linking that Hicks
had that "The Eagle of the South"
had flown.
A search was made of his rooms
where a quantity of literature was
found, one a pamphlet with Russell's
picture on the front CARRIED in the
robe of the Ku Klux, standing by
safe holding an American Flag in his
hand.

POST OFFICE OFFICIALLY
CHANGES HANDS
Will Close AT Six O'Clock Instead OF
Usual Time.

The Post Office at this city offic-
tally changed hands on Saturday
morning, when Postmaster David B.
Rodman, was installed by ex Post
master Walter H. Fish. Mr.. Fish was
appointed by Woodrow Wilson and
served the public faithfully for nine
years.
Mr.. Fish on his retirement plans
to take two months vacation, prob
ably to the west coast He has made
no definite plans for the future.
Mr.. Rodman has already taken up
the routine of work and notice has
been given out to the public that the
office will close at six o'clock P. M.
instead of seven. This will eliminate
many objections that the public has
had to contend with.
First, There is rush hour between
3. 80 and 4.30, caused by lack of
help, one clerk being off at this hour
but with closing one hour earlier, this
clerk will be on during the rush.
Second, The factorys and different
mills in the city close at five o'clock
and their mail does not leave the off
ice until ITO, this will be delivered
to the 6.22 express, making nearly
one hours time.
The Post Office clerk today puts
twelve hours day, and any other
business house eight hours. Rodman,
in an interview said, "There are
many changes in equipment that
could be made to help speed up the
SERVICE" and as an illustration he
gave the cancellation of stamps,
which is now being done by hand,
and claimed that if an electric can
ceiling machine was put in it would
save many hours a week.
Let's all give "Dave" our cooper
alton and make Beverly's Post Office
first class.
