fish a business for the wife Of ar

last week as the result of an auto.
mobile accident. This young WON

dren to support. To make them
economically independent $2,50t
is sought--and if we know, oul
Montgomery County it will be
raised! Over $500 was contributed
last week-let's all send a contri.
button to the fund. We know OF
no more worthy cause.
Did we ever tell you that Capt,
Burdine and his family are COM
ing from Silver Spring to become
one of our neighbors? He is plan
ming to build on the land he pur-
chased from the Hanson Cashell
estate several years ago.
Hearing that he was going to
build house, if and when he can
get the materials, we inquired ii
the plans were to follow the style
of architecture of the building al
ready on the land. He assured us
that not only were the plans quite
different, but that the new struc
ture would completely hide the old
one, for which we murmured a
"Thank Goodness. (Those of you
who have viewed his "glorified
turkey COOP will understand)
Anyway we think he was pretty
clever to put that turkey house SC
near the sheriff of the county.
We will wager that Sheriff
Watts Farmer, and his Office as
sistants, Ernest Hawkins, Law
renee Price and "Uncle Hughie"
O,Donnell, do not know who was
Sheriff of Montgomery County in
1920 just 1875 years ago! Well,
we would not have known either
had we not been reading Vol. /,
No. &c of the Rockville True
American which was printed and
published by j. A. Bingham, which
shows Brice Selby holding the
Office. There was an election to be
held shortly for William H. Hays
and Jesse Leach were asking sup
port in the election for the "Sher-
iffalty".
9If a sheriff was elected every
two years at that time neither
Hays nor Leach won, for in 1922
William Clements was signing
himself "Sheriff of Montgomery
