On Monday night a call came over the phone?a rush call?for the sheriff to ;ome to the residence of the Rev. S. P.

Alhough the sheriff owns a race horse? ne that can make it on any road at .2:40 gait?on this occasion he preerred to go in an automobile. Luther jong, who holds the record for fast inving in this neck of the woods and pho owns a fine Flanders car, was ailed from his midnight slumbers?in he dead of night?to rush the sheriff 9 the scene. It is needless to say hat a record was made?that goes rithout saying?for Luther makes a ew record every lime he "lets his 'landers out.,, Upon arriving at the house the sherf was met by a large party, includlg men, women and children, all of rhomwere armed with weapons of warfare and ready for the fray. The mmen were much frightened. Only few moments before, in fact, when le sound of the automobile was heard oming through the woods, the person in ft&e loft" had made a terble sonnd. tike nnto that of a mad lan. Nobody, however, would dare ttempt to enter?they wanted the heriff to do that. With a lighted mtern in one hand and a ^38 in the th8r, the Sheriff made his way irough the "Scuttle hole,,, expecting very moment to cast his eyes on the ltruder. But alas! after a thorough 3arch it was found that nobody had een there, and the sheriff came down illy realizing that he had only been sarching for a "spook." Tired and isgusted, the party returned to Lexigton sadder, but wiser men. Pomaria Lodge. A regular communication of Pomaa Lodge, No. 151, A. F.
