HOUNDS STIR LITIGATION

Charles (Whitey) Scott bought
hound pup from one Keller. Ash
Scott, the brother of Charles, was the
owner of two hounds. Jonah Romick
was the custodian of Ash's hounds and
alleged an unpaid board bill in the
costs of keep. Ash, the brother of
Charles, claimed to have. furnished
food for the hounds When Charles
acquired the pup from Keller, Jonah
possessed without permission, the
pup from Charles, and the tangled
web of circumstances brought the
Scots, Romick and the hounds into
magistrates court on Wednesday,
where Romick stood accused of steal
ing Whitey's pup. Jonah plead his
claim against Ash in extenuation of
the seizure of the pup, and in the dis
ENHANCEMENT of hounds and owners,
actual or alleged, in which Johnnie
Lytton acted as special bailiff, Magis-
trate A. c. Sticl1ley II awarded the pup
TO Charles Scott, inasmuch as being a
brother TO Ash carried no obligation
on Whitey's part to pay for the hounds
which Jonah was boarding for Ash,
and for which Ash alleged that he,
Ash, paid for the food. Each side
paid an equal part of the costs, under
the ruling of the court, an equitable
distribution of the hounds was made
and court adjourned sine die.

MOVIE MACHINE DESTROYED

During the exhibition OF moving
picture in the Methodist Church on
Tuesday evening, depicting the raid on
a moonshine plant near Richmond, in
which Special Officer Allen Gimbert
was slain, something went awry with
the machine, and there was a flash OF
flame and q shower Of sparks which
put the machine out of commission and
created considerable commotion in the
large congregation. Notwithstanding
the panicky feeling of the audience
there was no stampede towards the
doors, and a serious ending to the en-
tertainment was averted by the cool
ness of several present.
The film was destroyed and the
machine almost ruined by the
explosion. A lecture preceding the
exhibition was an explanation of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal
constitution and plea for an obser-
vance of the dry laws by ali citizens.
The picture was shown as an evidence
of the hazard which goes with law en-
| forcement, and told the story of ar
lofficer's sacrifice in the war waged on
imoonShine

chairman of the Board OF Supervisors
of Shenandoah county at its regular
meeting on Monday, Chairman Copp
has presided over the deliberations
of the Board for five years, being
elected from year to year by that
body. However, the Board departed
from its usual custom on Monday and
elected the chairman for the remainder
of the term, or for three years.
The meetingon Monday was one ofthe
two special meetings required by law,
the other being held in July and the
session was devoted to an inventory OF
the County's financial condition and
several minor road matters.
FINANCES
II developed that the loans outstand'
ing against the county aggregated
s23. 500, of which $4,000 is held by
banks, and the residue is distributed
among the following holders OF the
county's obligations; Ernest Wisman
$1,000; Mrs. Lula Wisman, 500 ;
Perry Hollar $1,000; j. Worth Pence
$500; Mrs. Grace Painter $4,000
George Sam Copenhaver $500 and Mrs
j. w. CARRIER $500.
However there is $4,000 of orchard
tax in process of collection which when
deducted from the outstanding in
debtedness will leave balance still
owing of $4,000 During the year
County Treasurer j d. Harplne has
iquidated $4,000 of the County S
debts, and since July warrants charge
able to the county fund amounting to|
$50, 1873 were paid by him.
Expenditures in the war on cedar
rust played conspicuous part IN the
county's finances in the years 1922,
1923 and 1924, during that time S22, 273
being paid out for the destruction OF
cedars. This amount however is taxed
against orchard owners. In 1922
orchards paid as special tax for this
purpose s2450. 46 and in 1923 they paid
S3S23.9 50. The balance OF these eXpen
ditures, and for which advancements
were net out OF the County fund, will
be liquidated by the assessments which
are now payable.
For the schools of the county during
the 1923-1924 session, 1929, 365. II was
and thus far approximately
$65000.00 has been paid out for the
present scholastic year.
The county fund for the past year.
for all purposes, was $50, 690.44
CANNES REPRESENT CASH
Dogs, as shown by the license re-
ports in the Treasurer's office, are a
source of considerable revenue
During the year tags were issued for
1889 males. 127 spayed females, 54l
females and kennels, aggregating
s2336, %. After paying for sheep and
poultry killed and other charges on
this fund, approximately $1,000 was
left to divide among the road funds of
several districts.
The Board directed that the capitation
taxes returned by the State to the
county in the sum of s4027, be credited
to the school fund.
After the consideration of a few
claims against the county the Board
adjourned to meet at the call of the
chairman when accounts for current
exnenses will be passed upon.

BY an Act of Congress, Farm Banks
were created seven years ago. Dur

ct for farm bonds for only two and

for bonds.
At the present time there is a good
market for farm bonds
