members of Waw-Wll-a-Way Chapter,
D. A. R., as they assembled to do
honor to the first great American,
George Washington, whom "war made
great and peace made greater."
For several years the annual cele
bration of this event has taken the
form of a luncheon given at the home
of some member, usually that of the
Regent.
In response to invitations sent out
by the present Regent, Miss Amelia
Herron, twenty eight members r
sponded, out of the forty forming the
entire membership of the Chapter.
Four, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Buck, Miss
Freshour and Miss Crawford, came on
from Greenfield. Much regret was felt
that the entire membership from that
place, nine in number, could not be
oresent as the Greenfield ladies were
guests of honor of the Hillsboro mem
bers. In the flag decorated entrance hall,
the Regent, Miss Herron, assisted by
her sister, Mrs. Newby, welcomed the
arriving guests most gTaclously.
The luncheon table was a joy to be
hold with Its glitter cf silver and glass
and masses of red 'carnations against
snowy linen. Charming little favors
and place cards maTked each guest's
place at table.
The ladies were all In holiday attire
to do honor to the occasion.
An elaborate and delicious menu
was fully enjoyei after which the Re
gent, acting as toastmlstress of the
occasion. Introduced each speaker In
turn.
Interesting and instructive talks
were-glven by Mrs. Steele. Mrs. Jos.
Richard, Mrs. Rives and Mrs. Shields,
the latter toasting the hostess in a
clever bit oforiginal verse. As a con
clusion to the luncheon, the ladles
toasted, "The Memory of George
Washington"., "Our President" and
"The Incoming Administration."
An Informal musical program was
given In theparlor by Mrs. Dewey, of
Greenfield, Mrs. Harry Spargur and
Mrs. Rives, adding much to the pleas
ure of the occasion.
For years the Newby home lias been
acenter of hospitality in Hillsboro,

there last Saturday will be an event
which gives the historian great pleas

question for discussion, as not all of
the schools have a Home Department

brought out. M. A. Honllne, a noted
S. S. worker was present and favored
the audience with a half hours talk,
which was much appreciated.

Fools Cops.
Marshal McCormick and policeman
Walker had one put over them Sun
day night by & man who was very
drunk. He pretended that he had
fallen and broken his hip and had
them believing it so (irmly that they
called in a physician to set the broken
ifeone and were arranging to take the
man to the Infirmary. The man was
a good actor, but forgot for a moment
what he wxs doing and moved his leg
without any evidences of pain.
Sunday night shortly after 8 o'clock,
resldlnceson East South street tele,
.phoned the police tiiat adrunken man
was disturbing them. Marshal Mc
Cormick went down and found the
man on the porch of the residence of
Charles Couard. The man gave the
name of Ciaarles Moore and stated that
his home was Dayton. He said that
he had fallen and broken one of his
legs. He was apparently suffering
great pain, screaming wheneve r
moved. The Marshal secured aid and
took him to the 01 ty Building and a
physlcan was called .to examine him.
The man said he liad a sister living in
Dayton and the Marshal teleplionid
there and found tfiis was true, but
that she wao very poor and could not
care for Idea if he was .taken there.
The Marshal then called up the In
firmary and was arranging for Super
intendent Hogsett Co come in and
take the maa out tiiere. While he
was talking, Moore forgot the game he
was playing and rolled over and
stretched the supposedly broken leg
without any Indications of pain.
Policeman Walter saw him do this
and told McCormick About It Mr.
Hogsett was told he was not needed
and It was not tenderly that the of
ficials took Moore into the cell.
Monday morning Moore was brought
before Mayor Wllklns 2nd pleaded
guilty to the charge of drunkeness
and was fined $5 and the costs. He
could not pay up and was placed in
al1, , ' ance of the week.
one or Moore's tegs is snorter man
the other, having been Injured some
time. The olllcials claim that it was
on account of the appearance of this
leg that Moore was able to fool them.
Judge Newby overruled the motion
and set the case for trial on March 17.
Powell claimed that he could not se
cure a jury in this county that would
give him a fair and impartial trial and
submitted a number of allldavits by
Greenfield citizens to support his
claim. Prosecuting Attorney McBride
argued that there would be no trouble
to secure a jury and submitted alllda
vits to support his assertions. Powell
has been in trouble many times, 1
always charged with violating the lo
cal option laws The present case
arises out of a rahl made on his place
by Marshall Willis and the police of
Greenfield, when It is alleged that
Powell threatened to strike Marshall
Willis with a hatchet. In a previous
trial of the case Powell was convicted
of assault with intent to kill, but the
Circuit Court reversed the verdict on
the ground of error In the charge of
Judge Newby to the Jury.

In the above table It will be seen
that the village of Sinking Springonl
gets $2.77 to conduct its affairs for 0
months. $18 07 was collected, but
only $2.77 goes to the village, as dur
ing that time a state inspector ex
arained the books of the olllcials of
the town and the cost of this exami
nation to Sinking Spring was $15.30.
When a town only gets $30.14 a year
to spend it looks like $15 30 is a good
deal to pay to find out how it is spent.
From the dog tax the county re
ceived $218.50 more than It did a year
ago.
