Daily Sails to
Mt. Vernon

River breezes, augmented by
the soothing strains of Sidney'S
Orchestra, make the moonlit
decks of the modern Wilson
Line steamer "City of Wash
ington" a popular rendezvous
for excursionists.
The steamer leaves each eve
ming at $50, returns just be-
fore midnight, and offers an
enjoyable relief from the city's
heat on sultry nights.
Many cruise enthusiasts are
also taking advantage of the
numerous improvements offered
this season at Marshall Hall
Park. The picturesque picnic
grove, which offers every mod
ern convenience, can now &C
commodate up to 1000 picnick-
erS.
Under the direction of L. C.
Addison, park manager, sew
eral new riding devices have
been installed. The principal
laugh-provoker comes in the
way of a new "Crazy House"
Boat-minded patrons will be
glad to know that the park man
agement has recently added a
40-mile-an-hour speedboat to it's
long list of attractions. This
feature will be directed by the
veteran pilot, Captain" Peter
Sayer, who will offer frequent
river trips at low rates.
The Wilson liner makes three
trips daily to Marshall Hall
Park, leaving at 10 a. M, 2
p. m. and the delightful Sun

on which the original stage
play yellow Jack" was based.
A round of festivities in his
honor is planned by the senator
from Indiana at which members
of the Indiana delegation in
both branches of Congress will
attend.
Mr.. KiSsinger will be guest OF
honor at a special luncheon in
the Senate Building on Thurs
day and on Friday night will be
guest of honor at the premiere
showing of yellow Jack" Rob-
ert Montgomery and Virginia
Bruce are co-starred in this
drama.
They screened the picture at
the Fox exchange yesterday and
drama desks got a thrill out OF a
feature that has fine entertain
ment value as well as historical
integrity.
Like Men In White" THE
Story of Louis Pasteur, " Yellow
Jack" is a drama of medical
science. Cuba is its Setting-the
Spanis h American War its
period. Its heroes are in the
American service-its villain is
the mosquito, dread carrier OF
yellow fever.
DIGNIFIED STORY
The story of DR.. Walter Reeds
bold research in Cuba is we'll
known. yellow Jack" presents
it dramatically to the layman,
focusing human interest in the
soldiers who volunteered to con-
tract the fever, hazarded their
lives as guinea-pigs for the eX-
pertinent which was to scotch
the Scourge.
Robert Montgomery appears
as one of these heroes, the dash
ing Irish soldier whose jaunty
charm had endeared him to one
brave and lovely nurse. Well
suited to the role, Montgomery
plays it with deep feeling and
artful restraint. Virginia Bruce
is appealing and heroic as the
nurse.
With Lewis Stone as DR..
Reed; Henry Hull and Stanley
Ridges as his aides; C. Henry
Gordon, Andy Devine, Alan Cur
tbs, Buddy EbSen in important
roles, the cast contributes to
the strength of yellow Jack"
1t is a powerful, impressive
and exciting picture with tense
drama relieved by robust, mascu-
line comedy and its sincerity is
preserved by the unobtrusiveneSS
of it's romance.

Skylanders Play Crossnore Hi
Tomorrow Afternoon At Lansing
First Home And Conference
Game of The Season. Lam
sing Licks WilkesbOro.

The Lansing high school foot
ball team will play its first home
game tomorrow afternoon when
these Skylanders meet Crossnore
high at Lansing.
The game will start at 3 o'clock
and large crowd of football fans
from all parts of the county is ex-
pected to see what promises to be
an exciting gridiron contest. There
is added interest in the game be-
cause it is an Appalachian confer
ence encounter.
After a smashing 80 to z victory
over Wilkesboro high last Friday,
Coach Morphis' Ashe county lads
are favored to win the game tomor-
row. Last year Lansing defeated
Crossnore Is to 0 and the year be-
fore the final scores ended 0 to O..
These two teams have always fought
on more or less even terms and the
battle tomorrow win probably be a
hard-fought one. fssf'
Using power drives, deceptive
ends runs and brilliant passing at
tack, the Lansing boys completely
over-powered the Wilkes county
gridders.
The beautiful running attack was
led by Smith Hartzog, who scored
two touchdowns and Joe Allen War
rem who, among many other su-
perb plays, received 2 a punt
and ran so years for d touchdown
late in the fourth quarter. !.
Four of Lansing's score came from
long runs and line plunges and two
from aerial thrusts. The line also
played an exceptionally good game.
Campbell, center, was the outstand-
ing line star.
This will be the only home game
until November 4.

Over 1000 People
Witness Exciting
Ball Game Here
Rotarians Defeat LegiOnnaire
Team By Score OF 5 To 4.
DIR. Hunter Stars.

Ashe county's most thrilling and
exciting baseball game on record was
staged here last Saturday night
when Rotary and Legion sponsored
teams, mounted on highly trained
donkeys, ran, hit, rode, fell, and
clowned around for over one hour
while crowd of over 1000 people
laughed until their whole bodies
literally ached.
A starting lineup was announced
in advance, but when the game
started, there were only four of five
of those first-choice players avail
able for action. All of the Legion
naries sent in substitutes, while the
Rotary club was represented by four
of it's members.
Led by the brilliant falling" Of
DR.. j. K. Hunter, the Rotarians EN-;

ELIZA POWERS INSTANTLY
KILLED BY TRAIN SAT

Continued from Page y
Saturday morning.
The Tuckerdale man, it is stated,
had sugar diabetes and as result
was subject to having certain spells
that caused him to 60 into more or
less state of coma. Some think
that while he was returning home
from Lansing, one of these spells
might have developed. Others
think that he had been drinking too
much alcoholic beverage and still
others contend that it was intention
al, as he was involved in severe do
nestle troubles and his health was
poor.
Saturday morning he came to
West Jefferson to appear in trial
in Squire A. F. Roses court. A short
time ago he issued warrant for
Woodrow Mullis, charging him with
larceny of around $4,000 from his
person. The trial was postponed
and Powers started back home. In
Lansing he ran into several friends
and stopped little while chatting
with them. Two or three persons
in Lansing said that he was not in
toxicated, but that they could smell
the odor of liquor or beer on his
breath.
Melvin Richardson, also of Tuck
erdale, was said to have started
walking from Lansing with him, but
left him when he sat down to rest
on the railroad track. A Mrs.
Thompson is also said to have passed
by just a few minutes before the
trian came along. They could not
be reached this week for statements.
Domestic troubles were worrying
him a good deal, friends state. Dur
ing the May term of Ashe county
superior court, his wife won a non
support suit and the verdict provided
she be allowed to cultivate a por-
ton of the lands in his possession
from his father, w. c. Powers, that
he provide place for her to live
of at least two rooms, help furnish
them, support the two minor child
rem, and give her cow. Evidently
he had not complied with the terms
of the judgment as she issued anoth-
er notice on September %, which
stated in part:
"You are hereby notified that the
defendant in the above entitled case
will move before the Judge holding
the October term of Ashe superior
court on Wednesday, October 26, to
modify the judgment rendered in
the above entitled cause at the May
term Of court, so as to require Ell
"a Powers to comply with the terms
of the said Judgment and in addi-
ton theerto, modify said judgment
so as to include the support and
maintenance of Ina Powers"
This notice was in the hands of
Wade Stansberry, deputy sheriff
and had not been served, but Pow
ers is said to have known about it.
He was married twice. The first
time to a Miss Fife Miller, who is
now Mrs. Roy Miller, of Tuckerdale.
To the first union was born one son,
Raeber, who was united in marriage
just short time before his fathers
death to Miss Ruby Turnmire, of
Buffalo, it is reported.
Funeral service for the deceased
was held Sunday at the home and
interment was made in the family
cemetery. A large crowd attended
the funeral which was conducted by
Revs. Eli Graham, Donley Hart and
Zeke Blevins.
