Daughter of a Farmer Awakefied at Mid night to Find Laborer on Her Father's Farin by Her Bedside with His Hands Upon Her. News and Courier. Brunson, November 23---Jim Gilmore, a young negro man, about 20 years old, was taken from the guard house in Luray, this county, about midnight last night and hanged. The negro had been em ployed on the farm of Mr. A. C. Fitts, a highly respectable citizen. Saturday night while the two daughters of Mr. Fitts were sleep ing together one of the young la dies was awakened by feeling a hand upon her face and another on her person beneath the bed cover ing. Her screams aroused the fam ily and frightened away the in truder. Gilmore was tracked and arrested He confessed and impli cated another young negro man, who is yet et large. In the hat of Gilmore was found the picture of a nude white woman. Gilmore stated that he and his accomplice had been planning for weeks the assault attemnpted last night. Before the sheriff could reach Luray the enraged citizens visited their wrath on the guilty negro. Should his partner in crime be caught he will probably meet a simi ilar fate.

Chappells, R. F. D. Government to Place National Forest Receipts in Western Depositories. Washington, Nov. 19.-The names of six government depositories which are to handle the receipts of the Unit ed States Forest Service, after De cember 1, when its organization for the administration of the national forests will be removed from Wash ington to six field districts in the west, have just been announced. The designation of western banks to handle the moneys received from tinber sales, permits for stock graz ing and for special uses of various re.'l re in the national forests is arn inn,ovaticn which will mean that all the receipts of the Forest Service in the future will be deposited to the credit of the treasurer of the United States and made available for cir eulation in the part of the country from which it is derived. within the limits of the amounts allowed by law for government deposits. instead of being forwarded to the treasurer at Washington. The banks which have been named and which have all con snted to serve the government are located in the district headquarters of the Forest Service at Denver. Og den. Albuquerque. Missoula. Port land, and San Francisco. They are as follows: Western Montana National bank, Missoula Montana. Headquarters of first district, including northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, north ern Wyoming, and northwestern South Dakota. Denver National bank, D)enver, Co lorado. southern Wyoming. South Dakota, northwestern Miniuesota, Ne braska, western Kansas, southeastern Utah. First National bakn. Albuquerque. New Mexico. headquarters of third district, including Arizona. Arkansas, New Mexico. and Oklahoma.* First National bank, at Ogden, Utah, headquarters of fourth dis trict, including Utah, southern Idaho, western Wyoming, eastern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona. First National bank, San Francis co, California, headquarters for fifth district including California and southwestern Nevada. First National bank, Portland, Ore gon, headquarters of sixth district, including Washington, Oregon, a small part of northern California, and Alaska. The estimated receipts for the na tional forests for the present fiscal year will be approximately $2,000, 000. making the receipts from each of the six districts range from $275,000 to $:350.000. *The depositories will re ceive all remittances due the govern ment for use of the national forests after December 1. and deposit them to -the credit of the treaurer of the United States. According to the plan which has been approved by the officials of the United States treasury, the Forest Service and the officers of the various depositories, when a tim ber sale, stock grazing, or special use application is made, the forest sup ervisor will fill out a letter of trans mittal in duplicate and tell the ap plicant to remit the amount directly to the national bank which is the de pository for the district. Remittances will be in the form of a national bank draft, express or post office mon ey order; and will be payable to the bank, since forest supervisors are not allowed to receive money. The let ter of transmittal is virf ually a de posit slip to accompany the remit tance. The duplicate copy goes to the district fiscal agent. All remittances will be assembled and checked up at the end of eac'h day, a single certifi cate of deposit made out by the bank and mailed to the secretary of the treasury. This simple plan which has required months for the treasury officials and officers of the Forest Ser vice to perfect, is one wh:ich will ex pedite business both for the users ot the national forests and for the fore in the office of each district frersty, and at the same time will make it pos sible for the government to deposit "n anlk. and help the circulation in where it is originally spent. Poet and Creditor. A Paris contemporary tells this story about Joseph Mery. the French poet. A creditor called one morning early to ask payment for an account. He interviewed the poet in bed and expressed sorrow at having to trouble him, but would he settle the acount. "With pleasure." replied Alery. *Have the goodness to open the first drawer of that cabinet." I have. sir." replied the creditor, "but there is nothing there." "Indeed? Well, try the next." "There is nothing in it." That is strange. Try the third." "There is nothing in there either." -Look on the mantel-shelf." "But it is the same as the drawers." "It is increditible Have you looked on the table?" "Yes." "And in the secretaire!" "Yes. and there is nothing." "In my clothes?" "Yes; I have turned out all the pock ts." "Ah. well," replied Mery, with the greatest composure. "if there is no money in the drawers or on the: mantel or on the table or in the sec retarie or in my pockets, how in the name of all that's wonderful can I ive you anything?"-London Globe.
