NEW ROCKVILLE
JAIL TERMED
SOCIAL STEP
Welfare Worker Praises 1t as
Asset in Handling Minors;
To Be Ready in September

~ DC neduy w oepl6IIlUeI
R C kville's new courthouse,
which is expected to be ready
for use in September. will have
on its top floor one Of the most
modern jails of which any county
may boast.
Miss Willie Greene Day, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Mont.
gomery County Social Service
League, who yesterday surveyed
the proposed detention quarters.
said the new Jail is one Of the
greatest steps forward that Mont
gomery county has ever made in
social betterment. She said:
"The new receiving home will
be a great asset to social prog
resS in handling dependent,
neglected and delinquent minors
until q proper replacement can
be made
Criminals Separate
Miss Day made it clear that
children will be kept in the
detention quarters only so long
as Is necessary, new places being
found as soon as feasible. She
said all children kept there will
not necessarily be delinquentS.
Another good feature, accord
ing to Miss Day, is the separation
Of the detention rooms from the
criminal quarters. The rooms are
all large and we'll ventilated, she
found.
Quarters for Warden
Aside from criminal accommo-
dations. there will be a dormitory
for white women; one for colored
women; one for white men; one
for colored men and detention
rooms for white girls and boys.

Pointing to the necessity for

Unemployment Worse
After a survey of 1874 principal

the demand for relief work next
winter would be twice as great
as last and that even in these
communities, with resources for
private charity, there must be
substantial county and municipal

There seems little doubt that

GOLF AND CLUBS. CHAUTAUoUA
(By Isabel BoZmanl

(By Isabel Bozman)
Before and after. Preseason and
after season.
1t has been our privilege to at
tend number of the events out OF
season. Twice the yearly meeting
of the Hicksite Quakers from many
states; two seasons the conference
of Swedes east of Mississippi river
One most interesting gathering was
by entertainment bureaus, testing
the applicants.
This year it is First Aid and Life
Saving Institute from June u to-
81. These Institutes are held in
many points in United States. But
the one at Chautauqua is outstand-
ing because of the equipment which
meets all requirements of camp
waterfront The boats and canoes
are not only the best, but there are
plenty of them; everyone interested
in camp or swimming pool leader
ship, will find the institute a re-
markable source of inspiration.
Then again, golf is pleasing,
healthy pastime, SO much SO that
the fine course at Chautauqua is
kept open until inclement weather
necessitates it's closing. It's fame
has spread SO that players come
from number of counties, and the
patronage from jamestown has been
remarkably good. Many can re-
member when the land now given
over to the present 1S hole course,
was entirely undeveloped. 1t was in
August, 1913, when group of six
men met on the slope where the
enormous bunker of the 18th hole
presents itself They put up $500
apiece to start the Chautauqua golf
course. Out of this little beginning
how great has the game become.
Additions have been made each
year.

man gave $4,000 for club house.
1 This season another farm has been
purchased adjoining the present
course-a tract of 158 acres of roll
ing country, suited for whatever
recreational use may be made of it.
Bride paths may be laid out, and
this summer it is planned to use the
land for a driving range. 1t is pos
sible a nine hole course may be-
come necessary to relieve the con-
/ gestion on the present course.
And now clubs. The wOman's
club at Chautauqua is unique in
! II. r.
active state federations. Often
there are number of state officers
in attendance, and the best talent
brought to the public platform can
also be heard in the club program.
A reunion was held in New York
states attended the events, which
included luncheon in the faculty
house of Columbia university; re-
? ception at the Three Arts club, with
Mrs. John Henry Hammond as hos
tess; tour through DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick's church. and a
musical, the musicians coming from
the institute of musical art. For
four days the best was presented to
the visiting members. closing with
dinner at which the president,
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, was
presented with a wrist watch, and q
huge frosted cake which bore in
pink letters the well known advice.

We have had fine winter here

STOMACH UPSET

Get at the real cause. That's what
thousands of stomach sufferers are
doing now. Instead of taking tonics,
or trying to patch up poor digestion,
they are attacking the real cause of
the Acknowledged liver and dis
ordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets help
arouse the liver in soothing, healing
way. When the liver and bowels are
performing their natural functions,
people rarely suffer from indigestion
and stomach troubles.
Haveyoua a bad taste, coated tongue,
poor appetite, a lazy, don't-care feel
ing, no ambition or energy, trouble
with undigested foods? Try Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calcmel.

The Story The Tombstones Tell
In Bristol Cemetery
c.. B. RAY
C. B. R AY

We have no excuse to offer for
this work Friends interested in
the Bristol cemetery, and in the his
tory it contains, have requested that
we gather up the fragments and
weave them into story. We are
pleased with the great number OF
folks who are helping us gather the
facts. We want to talk about those
who sleep here whose history has
gone out from the present genera
ton. No doubt they played their
part as nobly as did those who sleep
beneath costly monuments, and
whose story we will be able to give.
Somewhere, perhaps, their Off
springs as they gather around the
firesides are telling their children
stories of these folks. Hidden
away in old family Bibles are rec
ords that could we but see, we could
write their story as interestingly as
any of those that we now have the
record.
Cemetery Started In 1889
The cemetery was started some
time in the thirties-1839 seems to
be the earliest we find in our notes.
1t will be remembered that there is
cemetery over on the ridge road
where the old Baptist church stood.
There are also some graves on the
Robert Henderson farm, now the
home of Herman Reed and family
We are informed that these folks
were Rowlands. We may be able to
tell you about these people some
where in the story. The Bristol
cemetery is one of the incest ceme-
terry lots in the country roundabout.
Some years ago fund was raised
and invested. Also money has been
willed by interested persons, all of
which has been invested, and the in
terest is used for the upkeep Of the
cemetery. Some costly monuments
are found here, but they have moth
ing to do with our story. The SIM
pie slab tells the story we are inter-
ested in, as well as the most costly
ones. The first person buried here,
was George Bailey, who was kill
ed by a runaway team, as the
story was told. He lived with the
Rowlands and had gone to Zanes-
vile with a four-horse team, and
was returning when killed. His
grave is unmarked, and no one
knows for sure the exact location,
but it is somewhere on west side of
the yard. We remember of hearing
Grandmother Ray tell the story, but
we are indebted to Joseph Garrett
for the name. AS we write.
we in our mind seem to see
our readers Also many of those
of whom we shall write Let us go
back. We few who are left who can
go back into the SOS, and see the
congregations as they assembled for
church and funerals. We well re-
member the men-so many of them
with long white boards. We thought
them awfully old, but as we read
the inscriptions on the tombstones
of many of them, we found they
were not so old. We have often
heard that folks of this generation
do not live to be as old as our an
cestry In all our reading of tomb
stones, we find a large percent of
the dead never reached so. In the
years we have kept record, and
been writing for the Morgan Coun-
ty Democrat, there have been more
funerals at Bristol and Meigs than
at, or in the other six cemeteries in
the township combined.
