PACT VICTORY
FOR IL DUCE
By FRANK GERvAsI

VENICE, Italy, April % U.N.s).
Premier Mussolini apparently won
another major diplomatic victory
for Italy today as his momentous
conference with Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg ended in an atmos-
phere of complete agreement.
The conference broke UP shortly
after noon after the two men
spent the preceding hour and a
half in drawing up a communique.
1t appeared settlement Of press
ing Austro- German and Austro-
Italian problems had been reached
with II Duce winning everything
he wanted and maintaining in
tact the anti-communist Central
European bloc so dear to his
heart. Mussolini also succeeded
in preventing any embarrassment
in his relations with the Nazi
Reich.
According to authoritative in
formation, Austria will abandon
all hopes of restoration of the
Hapsburgs on her vacant throne
and all thoughts Of anschluss with
Germany for the present and italy
will make further economic con-
cessions to Austria.
Austria, it was said, will aban-
don plans for an entente with
Czechoslovakia.

the procession was made up of
horseback riders. We look to see
who the riders are. We note they
are the fathers and mothers of the
community. Today we look again to
see where these men and women are.
We note the parents of children so
years and over in Bristol township
are conspicuous for their scarcity.
In fact we can count only six. How
many do you make? Great care was
always taken to see that horses were
not tied too close together, in order
to keep them from kicking each 9TH
er. Often have we seen more horses
tied around a church and cemetery
on occasions of this kind, than are
now owned in the whole township.
We could tell of the young men
conveying the girls to church, to
parties. on behind. But why go on?
We might weave the story-yea the
history of the community, around
the old upon block which has out
lasted its years of upon business,
only to inspire this pencil pusher to
ask you old horseback riders to
live over in memory those years
agOne never to return.

STORES
At Bristol Village, Meigs Creek,
Meigs, MuttOnburg

Someone said something about a
rose by any other name being as
sweet, lovely or something. 1t new
ser made any difference what name
the village was called-it has always
been the center Of population OF a
large territory hereabouts. The vii
1age was never incorporated. You
can motor as fast as the wheels will
turn, going east. To those west
ward bound it is up to your motor.
The first store serving the COM
munity was not in the confines or
the village-but at the junction OF
state route Is and the Bear run
road, on the Merwin farm, the for
mer Murduck, Phillips farm, with
James Jenkins merchant.
His wife was a daughter of Sam
uel Adams, noted elder of the
Christian church. Mr.. Jenkins dis
continued the business 1867. The
building was razed and was used in
building the d. L. jenkins resi-
dence, now the Henderson-R -Risberg
home, about the same time VIM. De-
vol built the store building now
owned by A. J. Lindimore in the
west end Of the village where he
kept store. During this time j. K.
Paxton had store in his residence,
the property now owned by Stanley
Ray. Devol took Mr.. Herrom in as
partner They sold out to Mr.. Pax
ton 1870. Mr.. Devol moved to IN
diana. Mr.. Jenkins became a trav-
cling salesman, moving to Zanes-
vile. In 1872 Robert Henderson
bought an interest in the Paxton
store for his son Than who had only
recently graduated from the Mariet
ia college. Than had fancy huck-
ster wagon built, costing no less
than $500, according to our friend
Finley Elliott, who at that time was
a boy of the village and neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Elliott goes on to relate:
''The Hendersons who owned and
lived on the now C. C. Wilson farm,
on the day when Than with his new
wagon was to make the initial trip,
they hitched Bolly, a spirited horse
to the wagon. No sooner had they
gotten him hitched than he started
to run and kick. When they got him
stopped the wagon was complete
wreck, and was never repaired We
are unable to state when the Pax
ton-Henderson partnership terminal
ed. Mr.. Paxton died Jan. "a, 1876.
For some time prior to Mr.. Pax
tons death, Isaac Whitehouse had
clerked and run the huckster wagon.
Following the death of Mr.. Paxton,
Mr. Whitehouse purchased the bus-
ness and continued up into the 90's,

elapsed since Mrs. Parsons diSap-

ments following appearance OF a
cryptic advertisement in a morn
ing newspaper.
Believed a move to carry out
ransom instructions, the message
said:
IN. Sonnet. Come home.
Telephone Huntington g."
The number is that Of Gerald
M Livingston, repeatedly a friend
of the Parsons family, who denied
he had inserted the advertise
ment. A later edition Of the
same newspaper carried the adver-
tisement with the word Hunting
ton" left out.
It was believed contact had
been established with the kid
napers, who left a ransom note
for $25, 900 in the socity matron's
car when she was abducted last
Wednesday. However, none could
link the name m. Sonnet" with
the case.
State police, meanwhile, con-
tinued their investigation on the
theory that Mrs. Parsons either
had been murdered or dropped
out of sight voluntarily. They
placed great Importance on a
report that a woman believed
to be the missing heiresS sought
directions to Roosevelt Field last
Friday, two days after her dis
appearance.
It was thought possible she had
taken plane for the West, where
she has relatives.
Two days of intensive search OF
the woods and underbruSh in the
vicinity of the Parsons estate,
where Mrs. Parsons and her huS-
band raise squads and pigeons, re-
vealed no clue.
Authorities planned to again
question the missing Woman'S hus-
band and Mrs. Anna Kupryonova,
Russian emigre and member OF
the household, whose 11-year-old
son, Roy has been adopted by Par
sons.
Also at Huntington is the estate
of Mrs. Parsons uncle, the late
T, s. Williams, opposite that OF
Livingston. The latter, however,
maintained he had no connection
with the case.

In doing so, the chamber, after
