A large crowd of appreciative people assembled at the First Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 c'clock to listen to an address by Hs Excellency, E. Lee Trinkle Governor of Virginia and to hear Mrs. E. Lee Trinkle render selections upon her violin. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. R. Beecher Taylor. Music was turned ished by the First Baptist Church Choir and choice selects were rendered by the Motronomie Glee Club under the leadership of Mr. H. R. Williams, Jr. INTRODUCED THE GOVERNOR Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the pastor, in well chosen language, introduced the distinguished official, His Execed eney, among other things said: "I am glad to be living at a time, when men and women are not ashamed of their Master. There is no such thing as graduating from a Sunday School. We never graduate in Christian effort until death ends our career. We should never be too old to attend the Sunday School and the Church. You have six days to do with as you will, but there is one debt that all should pay and that is to give a part of your time—each Sabbath—to the Lord A DEBT TO THE LORD "We we our health and happiness to the Lord. If there ever was a time that parents should be on the watch—on the K. V. it is now. There never was a time when the younger generation was subjected to so much temptation as now. If they are to be kept in the right path, it is necessary for you to require to know what your children are doing and where they are. I went to a movie picture show and I saw a picture known as 'Broken Laws'. It shows how early in life, the child begins to rule the parents, rather than the parents ruling the child. "The child grew up until it broke the laws and ended in a felon's cell. Parents, your children must be taught to obey. Let us remember that th's is absolutely essential. As colored people, you have a wonderful opportunity to serve. In your pastor's remarks, he emphasized the BROKE THE LAWS word, service. Some would emphasize brotherhood. But I woul'd say to you that if I were asked what word encompasses all other words, I would say, service. If we catch the spirit of service, it carries with it love, it carries with it brotherhood. THE THING THAT COUNTS. "The thing that counts in this world is the good that you have done for somebody else. You have a wonderful field in which to serve. You have a wonderful opportunity. The young people have had educational advantages that the older people did not have. Have love of country, love of our flag, love of our institutes, and a contempt for the man, who violates the laws, civil or social. Since I became Governor, the cloaked people have done wonderfully well in unhiding the law. There is no State south of the Mason and Dixon Line that has as high a type of citizenship as exists among the colored people of Old Virginia. GOVERNORS' TESTIMONY. "Upon attending a meeting of Governors in the South, I had Governors to say to me that they believed the colored people of Vrgnia to be the most advanced of any in this country. This is especially true in the city of Richmond. Little can be done toward the enforcement of the law without the cooperation of the colored people. It's to be hoped that colored people, who do not conduct themselves properly along moral and legal lines will not be recognized by your people. One grossly persistent person can do more harm than one hundred optimistic people can do good BRING MORE SUNSHINE. "I want you to bring more sunshine, more happiness. Optimiz a spirit of righteous looking into the future, has brought more happiness, accomplished and brought greater results than anything that I know. Let us turn to 1925 with a determinate on to make it the best year for service, the best year to aid some fortunate layman as we go on upward, the best year in which to amile, the best year to make the Old World what it ought to be. I am satisfied that nothing can happen to me worse than what (Continued on page 8.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 THE SPRING HATCHING By SATTERFIELD PRES COOLIDGE CABINET WELL! WELL! PEEP! PEEP! KELLOGG WARREN PEEP! SATTERFIELD AUTOCASTED SENATOR CUMMINS INTRODUCES NEGRO COMMISSION BILL SENATOR CUMMINS INTRODUCES NEGRO COMMISSION BILL (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., January 22 —On January 13 Senator Albert B. Cummins Republican of Iowa, introduced Bill S-3936, in the United States Senate. The bill, which is one "to create a Negro Industrial Commission", was promptly referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill is the net result of bills introduced by Congressman Israel H. Foster, Republican of Ohio, and Congressman Emanuel Collier, Democrat of New York, and is intended to create a Negro Commission to adve- vate various branches of the U. S. Government as to matters relating to Negro affairs and progress. --- HARD WORKING MAN FLEECECED OUT OF $300.00. (President New Service) GASTON1, N. C., Jan. 22—Pharisee Melchor, a well known and hard working farmer of the Landis section of Rowan county, who accidently formed an "acquaintance" with sev- ealer clever strangers in Salisbury a few days ago, was not treated by them in a manner befitting his first name, and not only that, he is wiser and is also poorer to the extent of $300 for having met these gentlemen of color, who at first showed great interest in him and pretended they wanted to he'p him. They told him that he should not wean out his life slaving at hard work, but should make his money work for him. He was told of all the great white millionaires who had gained their fortunes by making their money work. They finally resorted to the old game, the money-finding trick, which has recently been worked extensively in Danville Rchmond, Winston-Salem and numerous other places throughout the Tidewater section. Authorities believe this long string of fleecing unsuspecting Negroes is being done by the same gang and great care is being exercised by the officials to apprehend the tricksters. EVEN PERISH IN FLAMES FOLLOWING GAS EXPLOSION (Preston News Service) CALDWELL, N. J., Jan. 22—Twewomen and five children were burned to death when fire which started from an exploding gasoline can swept through their wooden dwellings in an isolated section early Monday. Four men escaped. The gasoline which was in a can supposed to contain kerosene was being used to start the kitchen fire.

REFUSES TO ENJOIN NEGRO MOOSE ORDER (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 22 — Supreme Court Justice Wagner denied Tuesday an application by the Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, and New York Lodge No. 13, for an injunction against the Improve Benevolent and Protective Order of Moose, and the Empire State Lodge No. 3, Negro organizations, restraining the defendants from calling themselves "Moose", pending the trial of the suit. The papers state that among the members of the plaintiff order are James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, who is Director General of the Supreme Lodge; Charles M. Schwab, ex-Prime President Marshall, the majority of the members of the United States Senate, several Governors, and Mayors of a number of leading cities, including the present Mayor of Philadelphia, where the organization on has 28,000 members. The late President Harding was also a member. The plaintiff alleges that misrepresentations have been made by persons acting in behalf of the defendant organizations, to the effect that the Negro children cared for by the Loyal Order of Moose at Moosehead, were sent there by the defendant lodge and that the defendant was branch of the plaintiff.

The pastor, officers and members of the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church are taking this means of expressing their gratitude to the members, friends and visitors, who have, by their presence and spiritual and financial support, contributed so largely to our success in the past eight months. Last April, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D. sent to us Rev. James S. Hatcher, author "I Cannot Drift" and his most competent helpmeet, Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher. They are both graduates of Wilberforce University. During the last 36 weeks we have been blessed far above our dreams. We have had in the regular services of the church more than 50 conversions, 75 accessions, interceded in prayer at the Altar for more than 100 persons; raised over $5,700, or an average of $158 per week; organized a Tithing Band which has now a membership of 75 persons who give God thru our Church, one-tenth of their earnings. We have the largest Children's Church proportionately, in this country among Negroes. These children are far more punctual and regular in attendance and attention than many old persons. They can sing, pray, recite and take part in our services. Aside from souls won and saved at our Altar, D. Hatcher with members of our Personal Workers Group has visited, preached, sung and prayed in the homes at Peakes, Virginia Randolph School and the Dunbar School of South Richmond, with the blessed result of more than 70 students being led to Jesus. Dr. Hatcher, his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher and daughter, Miss Avis Hatcher are positive factors in the community life of Richmond. They are all musical and sing and play beautifully.

The conclave of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in annual session at Philadelphia, Pa., upon the invitation of President Dr. C. T. Baylor, of Lambda Chapter of Virginia Union University unanimously voted to come to Richmond. This promises to be an event for which all Richmond should hold with delight, for, it is such a gathering that it is possible for one to see the lofty ideals for which educators have so long stained, crystallized in the hundreds of young men who come from the Lakes, the Gulf, the Atlantic and the Pacific as delegates. Already the social life of Richmond is taking on a different aspect inspired by the news of the Sigmas' coming. "On to Richmond for a bigger and better 1925 Conclave." By Stanley At Last!

CITY PLANNERS ASK COUNTY TO REVOKE LICENSE OF NEW CEMETERY. (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 23—Revocation of a license recently granted for the establishment of a Negro cemetery near the Atlanta Child's Home in Ormewood was asked of the Fulton county commissioners in resolutions adopted Monday afternoon by the Atlanta Planning Commission at its first session of 1925. More than seventy-five citizens living in the vicinity of the site of the proposed cemetery protested. Since it is not within the city limits, neither the planning commission nor city council has any power to act, further than to request the county commissioners to revoke the license. The commissioners told the delegation they would take the matter, under advisement and let their decision be known later.

SOME PEOPLE believe in wrong doing just like some others believe in upright living. SOME PEOPLE thank you if you trust them and some others abuse you for ding the same thing. READ AND PAY for colored journals. Induce and encourage your children to do the same. PEOPLE WHO WANT to see the inauguration at Washington March 4 h had better be getting ready. SOME PEOPLE were not born to do right and it would be well for some of their friends to know it. WE ARE LIVING with these white folks down here and it is to our interest, to make friends with them. COLORED FOLKS will find it to their interest to select the right path and keep in it regardless of what is sad and done. THERE IS A c-controlling spirit in this life and those who violate its decrees will have what is commonly known as bad luck. THIS INTER-RACIAL MOVEMENT is serving its purpose and is benefiting both races. The poor white man WELL, $600,000 COST will find this fact out sooner or later. The colored man knows it already. WHEN IT COMES to securing a strangle-hold upon the affections of the masses of the people, Governor E Lee Trinkle is a master. SOME OF THE ROADS in Virginia are so bad that the rural delivery carriers have been forced to resort to the horse and buggy. SOME PEOPLE want all modern improvements, but proceed to alums everybody when it comes to paying for the improvements that they want. Richmond is a mighty fine city, but it is costing more than an expensive automobile. MAYOR J. FULMER BRIGHT seems to have found himself when he submitted his last report to the Richmond City Council. He is not recommending an increase in taxes and as long as he keeps off that track he is safe. NOBODY SEEMS TO think of reducing the number of office-holders in this city, but there are many hundreds waiting patiently for a proposition to increase the number of office holders, for the reason that the office-seekers are steadily on the increase. SOME PEOPLE are constantly on the lookout for what is to be and seek fortune tellers to tell them the future. If they really knew what was in store for them, they would not sleep a wink for a week and then they would worry themselves 'into a graveyard before time. THE KNOCKING OUT of Tiger Flowers in a bout in Madison Square Garden last Friday night week by a light heavyweight. Jack Delaney, was the surprise of the season. Just how his Georgia wonder has been able to stand up and fight all comers as he has done, has mystified many people. Although he appeared to be seriously hurt, he is now booked for several fistic encounters during the month of February. From the number of mixed bouts in New York recently, staged by Tex Bickard, it seems that this redoubtable manager is preparing the public for the Dempsey Wills contest. In several of the encounters, the colored boxers have been unmercifully beaten by their white antagonists and v ceversa PRESIDENT GENERAL MARCUS GARVEY scored a signal triumph when his steamship swung out into the stream at New York last Sunday afternoon on a coasted trp and with excursionists aboard to make the round trp. This is an achievement that is as wonderful as it is surprising. It should not be forgotten that this was accomplished in the face of opposition from within and from without. It does not matter what the ultimate result of this venture proves itself to be. It is the beginning of a great movement. The cheftain is learning by failing.

THE NATION for the week ending January 21, 1925, contains a most interesting contribution from Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, entitled "Georgia: Invisible Empire State": It is one of the most remarkable literary productions that has as yet emanated from the pen of this distinguished writer in recent years. For a minute description of existing and past conditions, coupled with imagery and rhetoric, backed by indisputable facts, it ranks high among the many descriptive utterances upon the same subject. It must be read to be properly appreciated. The concluding remarks are as remarkable as those preceding them. He says: "I look out of the window, and somehow it seems to me that here in the Jim Crow car and there in the mountain cabin lies the future of Georg a—in the intelligence₃ and union of hose laborers, white and black, on this soil wet with their blood and sours. They hate and despise other t day. They lynch and murder body and soul. They are separated by the width of a world. And yet—and yet, stranger things have happened under the sun than understanding between those who are born blind".

A new "Oregon Trail" is being burned A. a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Ideal Benefit Society the progress of the Order was reviewed for the past year and showed remarkable advancement. There has been much substantial improvement along all lines. Mr. A. W. Holmes, Founder of the Order, visited Washington recently and created great enthusiasm for the Ideal Society. While there he organized a Nursery and a Lodge of 41 men. This work was led by Captain Charles H. Neal, deputy of the District. Monday, January the 19, a Nursery was organized in Richmond by Mrs. Rosa B. Atkins and Deputy J. R. Hicks. The Ideals of Richmond recently surtained the loss of one of its first and most faithful members and workers, in the person of Mrs. Molle Lillie. She was a member of the National Ideal Choir for a number of years. The choir tendered their sympathy as they sang the farewell hymn. Wednesday, January 21, a new Lodge was organized in Richmond by Mr. B. W. Perkins, Deputy J. R. Hicks and others. December the 29, Prospect Lodge, No. 2 entertained its members and friends. The program consisted of music by the Ideal Choir, Mr. W. H. Coy, leader. Remarks were made by a number of the members and visitors. Supreme Master delivered an address. Refreshments were served in abundance. It was indeed an enjoyable evening. Richmond District is now conducting its mid winter membership campaign led by Deputy T. L. Beverly, which will end as follows, at the various churches with the Public Union Installation of Officers: On Wednesday night, January the 28, the Lodges of Church Hill will assemble with their friends at Thirty first Street Baptist Church, Rev. S. P. Robinson, pastor, for the reception of new members and the installation of officers. Music by the A LAWYER FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS A NEW "OREGON TRAIL" STANDARD LIFE AND SOUTHERN INSURANCE COMPANIES MERGE ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 22—In a report from Prof. Walter S. Buchanan, of Pittsburgh, Pa., it is said that Heman E. Perry, "the Daddy of Negro High Financing", has surged many his many supporters by pulling off the real big stunt of lining up the Southern Insurance Company, of Nashville, Tenn., as an ally of the Standard Life. In fact it appears that the two companies have merged the r business in such a manner that the Standard Life is still left intact with its same board of directors and official staff agency force and offices throughout the country. If it is true, it is remarkable from two standpoints—first: because the Southern Insurance Company is a white concern; and, second: because the new concern would be among the ten largest companies in the South regardless of race, according to statements coming from the office of the Southern. On account of the merger proposition being up for consideration the Standard stockholders did not get their usual detailed annual reports from the officers, but President Perry is authorily for the statement that Standard Life closed the past year with 200 active agents covering 13 States and sending in an average of $1,000,000 worth of business monthly. He states that the company has $27,000,000 worth of business in force on the lives of 30,000 Negroes scattered throughout the country. — Try The Planet for one year and you will have it sent to you for a longer time. $2 is the price, post paid. By "THE CAMERAMAN." (Preston News Service) in the great Northwest, by a people just as colorful as the children of Africa. A total Japanese population of 4,634 has recently accrued in the State of Oregon, and a lesson well worth absorption and emulation can be observed by the BRETHREN when the following statement of what the hard-working Japanese have done in Oregon in one short year of migration is carefully analyzed. In Oregon, in one year, the Japs increased their holdings in owned city property from 31 parcels to 92 parcels. The assessed valuation of this owned city property showed an increase, in assessment by tax boards of Oregon municipalities, from $9,765.00 to $25,380.00. The value of improvements on city parcels belonging to the little yellow men increased from $9,450 to $17,480. The Japs' acreage in soil grew from 2,726 acres to 4,473 acres, while its assessed valuation leaped from $49,390 to $289,866, and its improvements advanced, in value, from $3,050 to $32,080. That's just one side of the one-year story of the yellow men, who are blazing a new "Oregon Trail". Let's look at another side. In leased lands, the Japanese increased their city parcels from 11 to 109. Its valuation went to sleep in 1923 at $43,830 and woke up in 1924 at $841,225. City improvements merely swelled from $23,030 to $294,870 and rural acreage, which expanded from 1,356 acres to 6,780 acres, showed a total assessed valuation, with improvements of $554,560 in 1924, as against $48,050 for the previous year. This is surely a lesson to our migrant group and to any others of us who like farm exercise and land space more than they do soot, dirt, and air-tight apartments at high rents. While the Japanese are grabbing land, too many of us are seeking rent space in city blocks, merely because it is not far away from a moving picture house or cabaret. There is an "Oregon Trail" for us in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, and many other States, where we can acquire land space and show the world that we are quite as clever as the Japanese in farming occupations and agricultural production. To those of us who are qualified for such a glorious undertaking, it has factory life beaten in a dozen different ways. in the great Northwest, by a people just as colorful as the children of Africa.

THE AMENDMENTS AND THEIR ENFORCEMENT De Sire,—Referring to your editorial note of December 27, 1924, on the prohibition question, you are right in saying "The law is unenforceable even with a bill on dollars. Congress has already approved much money for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but without satisfactory results. And now they are asking for twenty million of dollars. When that amount is used up—some one will be rich and the illegal sale of wine and the strong drink will be still going on. AN ERRONEOUS PREDICTION.

As a matter of fact, either one of these two groups is about a great menace to genuine racial progress as the other. Last November, each group fastened its teeth in the coat-tail of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, candidate for Congress from the Twenty-first New York District, and, combined, formed such a dead weight that the dentist is still filing teeth in Harlem when he could just as well have been in Congress proposing legislation beneficial to the Race. Similarly sad results have constantly accrued from the unceasingly gusty agitation of the ultra-radicals and the unending apathies of the spineless group, who essay to proclaim their dedication to a program of race progress, founded upon a peace-at-any price basis. And whenever these two groups have formed a coalition, the results have been both painful and disastrous. The achievements of conservative but firm men of the race, who have sought to accomplish their tasks, mainly through quiet, effective application, rather than through hue-and-cry methods and knee-bending proclivities, are outstanding; and if you will but check up the list you will find that the Spin-garn medal goes yearly to some such sturdy unit of humanity, rather than to some dispenser of words and concealer of deeds.

It's all very easy to understand why this liquor traffic gets by the police and the government agents. It is we might say, a wheel within a wheel; you dance for me while I pipe for you. The one will not say anything, or will the other give any information. A PECULIAR CONDITION And so the forbidden traffic goes on. But right here it is strange to the writer why so much money's appropriated and so much attention is given by Congress to the Eighteenth Amendment. when not a word is said or one cent voted for the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment. The more money Congress votes to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, the more the liquor traffic goes on. The country silently consents to the violation of the Fifteenth Amendment, how can it hope to uphold the dignity of the Eighteenth Amendment?

AMERICA ON WHEELS. THE VEGETABLE FIGHT. E. H. Gary, head of the biggest industrial organization in the world, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., representing what is probably still the biggest fortune in the world, had breakfast with President Coolidge at the White House. They discussed law enforcement and the findings of a citizen's committee of one thousand. Those three men make an interesting breakfast combination. Gary became head of the great steel concern when he was past fifty; Rockefeller, Jr., born to own and manage the world's greatest fortune, is removed by only one generation from a little farm in the hills along the Hudson, and Calvin Coolidge in one generation is promoted from a farm in Vermont to the White House. Apparently, "careers are still open to talent," as Napoleon put it, here in America. A curiosity interesting to women is thus announced, "Twins Born in Different Years." One, Thomas Daniel, was born in 1924, his brother, James, was born in 1925, two hours and fifty-five minutes after his older brother. There is a new plan for teaching little boys how to grow up. This is the "Knighthood" plan, to teach little boys chivalry and guide them away from evil. It's a good plan, presumably, but it is possible to overdo schemes and plans for showing boys how to act and think. They need some time in which to think exactly in their own way. It is the thinking that a boy does on his own account and of his own free will that counts. Little Newton, called a dull boy, was thinking out the law of gravitation.

Let children alone, at least part of the time. Sugar companies, oil and rail- road companies are organizing great mergers, bigger and bigger industrial units are coming. In the end, perhaps, single units will include larger firms. It need to worry about it. The bigger the better, if the public gets its share of the savings. If the public is not intelligent enough to watch and regulate one big con- cern, it won't be able to watch and control the secret inside deals of a dozen little concerns. Very expensive is the overhead in wasteful competition, and the public pays the entire bill always. Ines Hardin, the Mississippi girl chosen as the healthiest girl in the country, is described as a bundle of sunshine. Health and sunshine go together. The young girl is a bundle of common sense also, and says "Till marry when I'm thirty. Not until then." Some healthy boy may change her mind, but she would be wise to stick to her plan. Healthy mothers have their best babies after thirty, and in fact after thirty-five. Plants knew it more than 2,000 years ago. We know that American rules the world in automobile use and production, having more automobiles than all the rest of the world combined, with millions of machines to spare. How much do we ride? This country in 1924 manufactured 45 million tires, allowing an average mileage of 400 miles, which is divided by four, you and that tires enough were made in one year for more than sixty-seven and a half billion miles travel—twenty-seven hundred thousand times around the earth. One scientist tells others that the potato vine is deadly to tobacco and tomato plants, to both of which the potato is related. The sap from the ordinary potato plant will kill the two other plants. Combat and destruction extend, you see, from proud man at the top of creation all the way down to the abode of the potato bug. Tobacco men rejoice, saying, "You have abused our tobacco, and now it's your highly moral potato that does the poisoning." The potato farm needs "Potatoes may deserter potato plants. But remember that pigs destroy rattlesnakes yet pigs are less poisonous than rattlesnakes." The interesting thing is the proof that in the vegetable world there are fights as bitter as in the world of what we are pleased to call "intelligent thought." AUTOCASTER Frank B.

There was an inarticulate rumble from the living room, then a booming of the heavy voice. "You're surprised!" roared Underwood. "You didn't think there was anybody working the road over this way? Well, if you are surprised, what do you think I am? Doesn't a property owner get any protection in this county? I'm no tourist. I've put a case here.

He made another dive at the omelette. "Says he'll get a posse on the road at once. Well, he'd better. A pose? What need you out here is a few New York policemen." The Wreck, seeing no immediate need of his services, disappeared through the patry in the direction of the kitchen. He had a querel look as soon as a look of triumph as anything else. Sally jumped up from a chair by the window and shot a glance of inquiry at him. "Where are my spectacles?" he demanded. "My eyes hurt." She found them and the Wreck be gan to look like himself again. "Now tell me everything," she ordered. "He's bean at the telephone, resi ing the county against 'our desperados,'" said the Wreck. "He's made a regular yarn of it by this time. I guess they 'lange us for sure. Sally." "They'd better wait till they catch us." The Wreck contemplated her for a "HENRY WILLIAMS HE WASN'T TALKING TO—" few seconds. He wondered just how she was going to take the news. "He's a good liar; he piled it on. And he pulled all the old stuff about influence, and how much taxes he pays, and all the New York dope He made a thank God I came from attacking." "Could you get any idea of what's being done about it?" asked Sally, with the practical aspects up most in her thoughts. "Oh, there's a pose getting on the job," said the Wreck, wearily. "A case," mused Sally, nodding. "Yes; I imagine that. Who did he have on the phone?" "He was talking to the sheriff." "The sheriff." Uh-huh. Well, that means—" Sally stopped and stared at the Wreck. Something had startled her. "What county are we in?" she demanded. He shrugged. He never tried to keep track of counties and he did not know. But she read something in his eyes that caused her to clutch at his arm. "Henry Williams! He wasn't talking to—" "Yes, he was. That's exactly who he was talking to." She walked back to the chair by the window and sat down, suddenly limp. For half a minute the Wreck was unable to figure just what sort of reaction she was having. It seemed to him that every possible emotion flashed into her face, one succeeding the other so rapidly that all was a With This Deep One My Magdalee Tuck is a time limit test, less than seven minutes.

Henry, did you ever hear of such a joke? Bob Wells. Bob-out with a poise—catch me!" "I admit it’s a joke," said the Wreck, cheerfully. "Why, it’s a perfect scream! I might have known we were in the same county! it’s so terrific big. But I never even thought about it. And now he got the sheriff—Bob Wells." She passed into another spasm of laughter while the Wreck watched. Any time they wanted to laugh about Bob Wells the Wreck was a willing listener. "I start out for a trousseau, and I get turned into a hold up man, and I chased—by Bob Wells." It was great. He affirmed, solemnly. Then he saw that another change was coming. She was getting control of herself and the laughter was fading. There was a questioning look in her eyes a chewing of her under lib. SALLY did not get her emotions sorted out and classified in an orderly manner for the rest of the day. They insisted on mixing themselves up, they refused to sit where she tried to put them. Ordarily she was of a temperament quite severe and obedient to her with except of course, when the Wreck charged into it like a frisky吏. Even on those occasions her departure from a normal calm was brief and largely superficial. But the nausea that Sheriff Bob Wells was going out with a pane upset her poise, struck deeper, and affected her in many different ways that she seemed to be spinning like a weather vane in a whirlwind. She laughed, she was serious, she was scornful, she was angry, she was incredulous, she was alarmed—all these and other moods took possession of her, one giving way to another, only to come back and repeat itself after a while, so that the final result was to leave her in a uncertain state of mind. It did not help in that the Wren seemed to be singularly unmoved the news. He treated it as if it were a matter of small consequence. But Sally was not in the habit of stealing herself by leaning on Henry Williams; she could only account for her calmness by attributing it to a failure to realize the situation. He did not know what it meant to have Montana sheriff and a pose hard on his heels but Sally did. Even at that, she did not believe they would be caught. Surely, told herself, there would be a way out of things. It was not pursuit and possible capture that disturbed him and awakened every absurdly conflicting emotion that lay within it. it was the fact that Bob Wells was the instrument of the law. Tired her in a most illogical effective fashion. Any other she might do his duty without protest from Sally but Bob Wells—why he go and run for sheriff, any. He had plenty of other things to keep him busy. If he had not husted around and got himself elected sheriff, he could have ridden over to the railroad with her and she would have been on the train long ago. It was a fool trick for him to get into politics, thought Sally.

Johnson on his work and advised his congregation to appreciate his efforts. He sa‘d if there are any people, who should love God, who should go down upon heir knees, it should be the people of Virginia. SOUND ADVICE GIVEN. f He urged the young men to select some spot, buy a little home and then become a landowner in Virgin- ia, rather than be travelling from pont to point. Remember that a rolling stone gathers no moss. He urged all to give something to the support of the church. He thanked the audience for the special consid: eration shown him and sat down amidst suppressed applause. Mr. W. S. Morgan responded to the Govern- or. Then came something of sup- presseq excitement as Mrs. E. Lee Tnkle arose with her lady pian'st and proceeded in the most matter of fact manner to tune her violin with the piano. ‘THE FIRST LADY OF VIRGINIA. His Excellency motioned for those around the rostrum to make way for Mrs. Trinkle and she ascended to the rostrum, where she waxed the str’ngs and then rendered Melanchole by Al Wier Gencoro. The ins'sten! applause which followed. brousht ferth Calvary, by Paul Rodney. The fair violinist was absolutely oblivious of the many charmed observers and admirers as she drew the bow across the sweet-toned “nstrument with the skil of a master. Miss Eleanor Greenawalt ace™mpanied Mrs. Trink'e on the piano. ‘When she resumed her seat, Rev Dr. Johnson announced —aaother number, which was not down upon the programme. Mrs. W. T. John sm appeared with a magnificent bunch of flowers as a token from the women members of the chureh. Her presentation address was appropriate Governor Trinile beamed wth satis faction as his Madame accepted them. ‘A collection was lifted and the benediction announced while the vast audience slowly passed ont, ex pressing their zatisfaction with the afternoon's entertamment. '\ PEN PICTURE. When Governor B. Lee Trinkle had comple‘ed his stirring, optimist ¢ ap peal at the First Baptist Church last Sunday afvernoon, after an introdue- tion. a lady of slender build arose and with her another of the same type. She was about five fect. eight inches in he'ght, of modest bearing, features as regular as thore chiselled by a Grecian sculptor, which is to say that she is a person of surpass'ts beauty. Her companion preceded her to the piano and as she sat down and fingered the keys of the instrument, the lady Wolin’st drew the bow across the strings and in a moment had “tuned in” with the piano. AMAZED THE AUDIENCE. ‘Then she ascended to the rostrum and after placing a piece of wax up- ‘on the sacteq desk, with which from time to time, she waxed the strings. to the amaement of the Yast aud: fence and apparently oblivious of all, who seemed spell-bound and who gazed adm'ringly upon her, she ren- dered a soulstirring melody, which with the accompanying mallifluent strains from the piano reached the furthermost recesses of that spac’ous church qnd apparently re echoed from the rafters above. ‘TRIPPINGLY RETIRED. Not a word had been spoken by the fair perfprmer and when she Dowed and tripp'ngly retired from the rostrum, amidst suppressed ap- plause, she resumed her seat on the front bench in @ most unostentatious ‘manner, just ax though she had done absolutely nothing to merit the slight: est attention. On looking at her in the street, a person would have taken her to be simply a school girl, as yet on her ‘teens. ‘This though was the ‘first tady of Virginia”, the ‘wife of one of the most popular Chief ‘Bxecutives, who ever occupied the celebrated Governor's Mansion of Virginia. f —_-2- = WYTHEVILLE ITEMS.
