with 26 years of service either!
as a sheriff's deputy or town officer,
was visiting here Friday
afternoon, stopping at R. Mur-i
ry's clothing store on Manning
Avenue, which is the largest of
its kind in the state, and which
has been operating for four good :
years . . . Dr. E. C. Jones DIDj:
recognize us the other morning <
when we waved at him. Says
he went straight inside and sent ;
off his renewal subscription, hav

Charles Mitchell at Morris didn't |
see us when we dropped by his office.
He was literally surround.

President Ode1! Reuben of the| 1

out of town again (third time)
attending some meeting of the| l

so now that when either Mr. or
