men made their appearance. One
Of them was an American who had
formed part Of the crew OF tho
black plane. the other was a
stranger, square-headed like Ger
man.
Within the lighted room every.
thing could be seen through the
uncurtained window. and although
Gun and Hazeldeane strove desper.
ately not to look, the fascination
was too great! They saw the three
making merry over steaming
dishes; saw the COOL bubbling
champagne poured out into cut
glass goblets: watched with hun.
cry. distended eyes the men loung.
ing comfortably back in theif
chairs. replete with food, while the
blue cigar smoke curled up In
spirals toward the ceiling.
Gun rasped. with dry throat:
"Ill say one thing for the fellow
he's certainly ingenious"
THE swines lived too late"
growled Tommy. HE would have
made a fortune in the days Of the
Spanish Inquisitlon.
Suddenly Trent's voice came &c
them:
II hope you fellows enjoyed the
show"
He was standing by the open
window. putting cigar smoke into
the night air. II reached the two
starved. shivering prisoners fra
grant, tantalizing message. They
gave him no answer.

It was only thirteen years before
the admission of Washington that
Alexander Graham Bell created and
exhibited the first crude telephone
at the Centennial Exposition of 1876.
The first exchange in Washing
ton Territory was established in Sc
attic in March 1883, but the service
was still relatively crude in the
year of admission At the beginning
Of 1889, pioneer telephone exchanges
were in operation in Seattle, Ia
coma, Walla Walla, Port Townsend,
Colfax and Spokane All instru-
ments totaled $50 telephones.
BY 1899 there were 6,557 tele-
phones in use, by 1920 there were
199, 447 and by 1899 there were $685.
121 telephones in Washington. When
you take the receiver off the hook

Further, you have available SO per

Liant rally that, before the close of

ceptionally TALL. Fries and Smitn

British and American politics.
Anyone interested in taking part
should see Mr.. Urban Koelker,

Marriages Three;
Fewest on Record

Marriage licenses in vance
county were the feWest In rep
ruary for any month for when
records are available. numbering
only three in all. Two were lssuea
to white couples and one TO color-
ed.
In January there were SIX Whlte
and four cOlored couples, or
total of ten TO receive marriage
licenses. In February last year
licenses went to IL white ana live
colored couples for a total of II.
Nearest approach to this low
mark was in August last year.
when the number of licenses
numbered seven, of which five
were white couples.
For the entire year 1899, mar
riage licenses were 1853 in Vance
county, compared with 276 in
1888. For two months of l94O the
total has been Is, compared with
Sc i'm the first two months OF last
year.
1t is estimated that many cOu-
piles, especially the colOred peo-
pie, are going to nearby Virginia
county seats to have their cere-
monies performed, in order to es-
cape the rigid health eXamlna-
tons in North Carolina.
