born into this democratic ma

THAT all people shall be
content with moderate means,
having q real and honest de-
sire for tho simple, and true
values of life-genuine ele-
gance and refinement rather
than the desire for luxury.
THAT We shall seek to be
real and worthwhile rather
than self righteous and re-

to talk with gentleness, act
with franlness and that we
shall be spiritual enough to
listen to stars and birds, babes
and sages with open hearts
THAT this nation shall surely
under God and as q result of

of freedom and that this gov

After his release the couple
seemed to get along fairly well
until Ruth met cap Raynor.
1t was Raynor who left Ruth
at her brothers farm the night
before the murders, and some
how Allen learned about it. He
walked IA miles from his home
to his brother-in-law's farm
that fatal morning. armed with
his shotgun and a determine
ton to kill his unfaithful wife
and her lover. When he got
there and looked through the
window he saw Grady Lee be-
tween him and his first in
1ended victim so he blasted
Grady out of the way.

Tire Is Clue

The officer wasted no time
on the dead-there was an
armed, bloodthrsty mailman
running amok and no one in
the county was safe while he
remained at large. Right there
Sheriff Rose gambled every
thing on one bit of evidence he
found. One of the tire tracks
was spread, indicating a soft
shoe or a fat tire. He figured
whoever stole the car couldn't
get very far unless he stopped
to have that tire fixed. And
he guessed further that the
murderer would probably head
away from Smithfield. Follow
ing this bunch, Rose hurriedly
drove to a public garage some
three miles down the road.
When he got close he slowed
down and approached cautious

Ready for almost anything,
the sheriff strobe into the
house. Slumped across the
kitchen table, Grady Lees
shattered head rested In the
circle of his once powerful
arms. Rose inquired where the
daughter slept and Mrs. Lee
showed him a small room off

bed took up most of the space.
Beside il stood a chair elo-

neatly folded slip and pair of
stockings. The sheriff read the

SEE NEW BUILDING

During the last 90 days there
has been a marked increase in the
interest shown in acquiring vacant
residential building lots which are
now being purchased, building
thereon as soon as building mate
rial is available. In this connection
there is quite a likelihood that
some normal residential building
will take place in the latter part
of 1915, perhaps sooner.
Another trend appearing re-
Gently is the interest shown in
buying small business properties.
A great many people are now
planning for their postwar bust
ness activity and those interested
in the retail business are endeav-
oring to get good locations while
they are available. Thousands of
small businessmen were literally
forced out of business because of
the war time restrictions.
