RObt f. Miller Home
Was Away 13 Days

Mr. Robert F. Miller, prominent
| wool dealer Of this place, and for
! mer president of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. who strangely disap.
peared Nov is, was returned to his
| home here Monday evening at 7:1O
o'clock. For eight days, no trace
| or information Of any sort, concern.
ing him had been received. Every
reported clue which might possibly
have a bearing, or might throw some
light on his whereabouts, was in
j vestigated; and radio broadcasts
were also made but all to no effect.
Wednesday afternoon letter was
received from the missing man ad.
dressed to his son, Oran Miller,
Blue Rock, stating that he was at
Temple, Texas, and while parts Of
the letter were incoherent, enough
of it was deciphered to learn where
he was. In the letter he stated he
did not know how he got to Temple,
Tex, and said that he was without
money; was cold and his shoes were
worn out. Immediately word was
sent to the chief of police at that
place, to keep an eye on him SO that
he would not go away, and We'd
nesday evening Oran Miller and his
brother-in-law, B. o. Roberts, su.
perintendent of the Pennsville
schools, started to Texas by auto.
They arrived Friday afternoon, and
after communicating with the chief
of police, who informed them that
Miller was staying at a private
home, and after directing them to
the place, Messrs. Miller and Rob.
erts started in that direction, and
soon found the missing man walk
ing on the street. His mind was
still partly blank, and he was un
able to throw any light whatsoever
as to how, or when, he got to that
place.
The house where he was stopping,
was near the bus station, and the
family thought he came by bus, but
idence, Mr.. Miller told the people
there he was without money, but
was sending for some, and asked to
remain until it arrived, and the
family so consented. They stated
that Miller while there spent most
of the time sleeping His shoes
were badly worn, showing he had
been doing much walking. The Mil.
lers feel most grateful to the family
for the very kindly manner in which
was even invited to eat Thanksgiv-
ing dinner with the family, which
he did, and from the time he arriv..
ed until they left it was the gen
uine southern hospitality. Leaving
Temple Saturday, for home, they
did not travel of nights, and arriv-
ed here as stated, Monday evening.
The distance from Temple, Tex, 10
this place is 1850 miles. On the
way back Mr. Miller complained of
his head hurting him; had but lit
tie to say, and at times was not en-
tirely rational.
Mr.. Miller remains in much the
same candition, and is very nervous
most of the time.

PENNSVILLE IMPROVEMENT
TO BEGIN SOON

Elsewhere in this paper is an ad-
vertisement from the state highway
department, calling for bids on the
road improvement through Penns-
vile. This improvement calls for a
cement road SO feet wide, beginning
at the Pennsville school house, and
continuing through the village to
past Embree park, distance of A..
319 feet, at an estimated cost of
SCI, 1,079.43. Because of the width
of the road, which follows the pres
ent one, it will be necessary to
move the following buildings back
from the right of way: The Martin
service station opposite Embree
park. 1t will likely be moved TO
another location, since it is now on
leased ground. The VIM. Van Fos
sen barn, the Mrs. Abel property,
Graham garage, and the Jesse Hoop
er filling station, will all be moved
further back on the same lots. This
is federal aid project, and con-
tract calls for completion within 70
working dayS
