In an address by R. H.

Miss Margaret Compton Is County’s Magistrate There's been much fan-fare over the ladies of Washington, who are taking over the town’s government, but for the past 14 years a lady of the town has filled a responsible job and no one thinks it unusual. Miss Margaret Compton is Justice of the Peace and Magistrate, and has held this place—as well as Registrar of Vital Statistics— since the death of her father in February 1936. Miss Margaret’s father, John A. Compton, was 98 years of age at the time of his death. He served as magistrate for over 40 years and in his latter years his eyesight was impaired. As his deputy Miss Margaret had done much of the work for him, and at his death she was requested to continue to serve as Registrar of Vital Statistics. Court was in session at the . time of Mr. Compton's death and Judge Alexander appointed Miss Margaret to fill the unexpired ■ term which had started a few months prior to the date, February 1936. Ever since that • date Miss Margaret has qualified as a _ candidate and has been unopposed. She is the only Justice of the Peace in the county. Up to a few years ago there wa3 another at Sperryville and many years ago there were three magistrates in each district. Miss Margaret writes warrants for all the surrounding communities. The Trial Justice office takes the duties of holding court in present times, but Miss Margaret was helping her father when he tried many cases. To Attend Wedding In Charlottesville Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Johnston and family plan to leave Friday for Charlottesville where Mrs. Johnston will be matron-of-honor when her sister, Miss Helen Tanner, becomes the bride of Harry Willoughby. The wedding* will take place Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the First Christian Church. Pankey—Rudasill ~~ Engagement Announced Mrs. Robert Luther Rudasill of Woodville has announced the engagement of Her daughter, Miss Mary Alpha Rudasill, an Frank Lawson Pankey son of Everette Leonard Pankey of Pamplin, and the late Mrs. Pankey. Miss Rudasill, daughter of the MU* Marjr Alpha Rudasill lete R. L. Rudasill, graduated from Madison college, where she was president of the Baptist Student Union, a member of Kappa Delta Pi and Alpha Sigma Alpha sororities, and elected to representation in “Who’s Who Among.. Students in American Colleges.’’ She is presently instructor in home economics at Stephens City High School, Stephens City. Mr. Pankey graduated from the University of Richmond, where he was president of the YMCA and Alpha Delta fraternity, a memberof Omicroir-Delta' Kappa leadership and Tau Kappa Alpha forensic fraternities, and elected to representation in “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges.’’ At present he is a student at the Southern Baptist Theologi- - cal Seminary, Louisville, Ky. The wedding will take place in August. Stanley Brush Party • A Stanley Brush Party, sponsored by the Lou Keyser Business Womens Circle of the Washington Baptist church will be held at “Rose Cottage,’’ the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Reid Saturday, June 24, at 7:30 pkm. Games will be played, prizes given away and a demonstration held. A social will also be held at the conclusion 'of the party. The public is cordially invited to ottoilde "*vV;'*'* ' ‘**■*»*'♦fr'-r.-*'-**. “This Way To The First Washington” While elsewhere in tl|is fair land the fathers were being served breakfast in bed and basking in the glory of “Father’s Day,” Sunday proceeded as- usual in Washington—the women were still in the limelight. Other famous ladies are beginning the trek to observe Washington’s famous ladies. Councilmember-elect Ruby Jenkins was phoned Saturday night and asked for an interview. For three hours Sunday Miss Jenkins discussed possible town improvements with Helen Fuller,, editor of “New Republic,” Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas, Congresswoman from California, who were weekend. visitors at “Jessamine Hill.” Since these two ladies> wholeheartedly approve of women in politics, the alt-women election .in Washington added a star to the feminine crown. Although they spoke of Washington as already “heavenly in beauty,” they suggested several improvements: viz., beautifying the town with more flowers, trees, and shrubbery; cleaning the marker lot and the lot across from the Courthouse; and building a playground for the children of the town. To encourage tourist trade they suggested post cards of the town (which could be printed At no cost to the community); erection of signs for each entrance declaring “Washington, Virginia, the First Washington of All;” and a sign at Centreville directing tourists “The Way to Skyline Drive by Washington, Virginia.” It is understood that these suggestions will be oonsiderred by the woman council-and-mayor in September when the ladies begin to reign officially. A picture of the seven ladies of Washington appeared in Monday's Richmond Times-Disp^tch, along with the picture of the Mayor-elect Mrs. Davis, before the monument in Washington. This story by Jean Meredith Stevens gave an account of Mrs. Davis’s experiences in trying to explain by telephone to a New York reporter the difference in being mayor in -a metropolis being mayor of a village of 260 persons. The story was charmingly told, but its crowing light was a verse from the poet laureate of Rappahannock, D. Lyle Miller, called “Passing the Buck.” His poem appears on page 2 of this paper.. Washington Ladies To Appear on Television' A photographer from Baltimore was in Washington Saturday afternoon and took a group picture of the newly-elected town council and mayor, standing in front of the Courthouse. Individual pictures were also taken of each council member at her home. These are to appear on a television show either this week or next at 6:30 on a,Baltimore channel. > Newspapers—radio .— and now television 1 Mayor-elect Mrs. George H. Davis says she hopes that the town will co-operate to take advantage of all this publicity. Council - lady - elect Mm. Jack Miller states that what has amaaed her more than anything else is the amount ot attention the election has attracted. “Why, we thought it wouldn't go beyond the town limits!” -'-"——TClatterbuck—Johnson The Thornton Gap Regular Baplist church provided 'the scene Saturday afternoon, June 17, at 2:30 o’clock for a wedding marked by beauty and charm, uniting in marriage Miss Mary Elizabeth Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence E. Johnson, of Sperryville, and Edward P. Clatterbuck, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stonewell J. Clatterbuck, of Washington. ' Against a background of white roses, pompoms, candles and ferns, v'ows were exchanged before a host of friends and relatives with Eltier Russell H. Thompson officiating. The family pews were marked by roses and satin ribbons. Nuptial music was played by Mrs. George V^JSingleton of Zanesville, Ohio/Who also played the traditional wedding marches. Mrs. Robert Biddle of Wooster, Ohio, sang “O Promise Me” and “I Love You Truly," „ Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in.a gown of nylon tulle over satin. The bodice was fashioned with a bertha neckline edged with a, ruffle and a long torso- waistline.

Lillard of Amiasville entered University hospital Tuesday’for an operation for remote! , of appendix. . « v* * - Raymond W. Dearing, Negro, 42, is being held by authorities in Washington charged with leaving the scene of an accident without offering assistance and involuntary manslaughter, following arrest at an early hour Sunday morning in the death of Mrs. Edith Jenkins Updike and her baby daughter, aged 3, who were struck by an auto Saturday night. Saturday night, June 17, about 10:15 p.m. Ml'S. [Edith Jenkins TJpdike, 38, and her daughter, Joyce Mae, 3, were struck by an auto on Route 211 near the home of Floyd Compton, on the edge of Washington. Mrs. Jenkins was carrying the child in her arms - when a car swerved from the highway onto the shoulder of the road where the mother was walking. The child was killed instantly. Mrs, Updike died in Front Royal hospital early Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. James Ernest Updike were returning from a trip to the village. Mrs. Updike was carying the baby and the four other children in the family were in the group, three girls and a boy. Facing oncoming traffic, it was stated that the family group was well off £he highway and were a few hundred yards from the lane leading to their home. It was reported that the driver stopped the car to see if anything was wrong and when he heard the extent of the injuries, he returned to his car and drove off. Town Sergeant Clyde Jenkins noted from descriptions given of the car and the driver by Mr. Updike and others that the descriptions might fit Raymond W. Dearing, son of Isabella Dearing, of Washington. When Clyde Jenkins visited the Dearing home, the appearance of Dearing’s car, parked outside the house, strengthened Jenkins’ belief that Dearing was the fugitive. After arresting Dearing, Sheriff QriUer, Deputy Guy Burke and Town Sergeant Clyde Jenkins took him to the office of Commonwealth Attorney R. V. Snead. Here Dearing was questioned and was identified by Updike as the* ■driver of the car which had struck his wife. Raymond Dearing of 2015 15th St. Washington, D. C., was cony fined to jail and bail was set at 15,000. No definite date has been set for the preliminary hearing. James W. Fletcher is counsel for the defense. Rayner V. Snead represents the Commonwealth. , Rapp’k Fair Association Holds Business Meetings H. S.

Flythe; foods, Miss Janet Sollenberger. People from every section of tfce county were placed on each committee, so that each district might be well represented and take part. The chairmen met with Mr. Barksdale June 13, to talk over plans and duties for each committee. Lists of members were given each chairman and these people will be contacted and asked to start work very soon. A bigger and better Rappahannock County Fair is planned for 1950.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year ^Thcre Is A Season “For everything there is a season,” said the moody author of Ecclesiastes, going on to specify among other things, “a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” No gardener could quibble with that. But on a simmering June day most gardeners can ask why, at this particular time the seasons so conspicuously overlap. This is ‘the time to plant and tend the seedlings. But it also is the time to pluck up the weeds which plant themselves. This is the time to cut the grass, which is growing like mad on the lawn, in the orchard, beside the path and in the lesser tended parts of the garden itself. This is the time to trim the hedge, which was so neat two weeks ago and now is a bristling mass of” eager shoots intent on— rivaling oaks and elms. This is a time to hoe and till and spray and dust and nip off dead lilaca and tie up the rose bushes and stake the peonies. This is a time! Why does grass grow two inches overnight, just now, when it has all summer ahead? Certainly there is an answer, simple and logical and based in the solid facts of botany. Buy why, then, does that answer not apply to beans, say, or sweet corn? Besides, your gardener is not really asking for logical answers. He is pleading for time. Time to get all the jobs done. The grapes should be sprayed again. Blackberries are in blossom. The cherry trees are loaded. Buttercups are in bloom. So is hawkweed. Clover and chickweed flourish in the lettuce bed. Iris are in flower. “For everything there is a season." How true, how true! And this seems to be it, the season for everything at once. Election Gleanings Rappahannock has thoroughly t enjoyed the town election in Washington. The county’s most outstanding asset — its sense of humor—has had a Roman holiday. The stories are many and varied. With the prerogatives of all good story-tellers, the truth is' decorated to make a better tale. Facts in the stories are unessential; sometimes there is a little basis for the beginning of the narration, but the finished product often bears little resemblance to the original. The one object is to tell a better story than any other told previously. ¥ * * Mahlon Ramey reports that a telephone man in Front Royal has already stated that he is not coming to Washington after the ■women take over. “Next thing you know, they’ll want the telephone poles painted white and trimmed • with lace. No, sir, I’m staying out of that town.” * * ¥ Dr. Snead declares that he iq going to post warning signs at the entrances to Washington, saying: “Caution. You are now entering SHE-TOWN.” * * * Snooks Lillard drove through town and asserted loudly that he was headed straight back to Amissville and he was not allowing his wife within the corporate limits of Washington in the future. * * Capt. Warwick issued orders to the lady at “Rockbottom” as soon as he heard the results of the forthcoming petticoat regime. The Captain is well-satisfied with , the location, of his home—outside, the boundaries of Washington— and he is NOT going to wash a single dish. While in the town, Mrs. Warwick may get by with high-handed bossing, but at home the Captain is asserting that he is still in command. a . * * * Leiwis Turner has already warned Merrill to get prepared for the changes that will take place after September. He has told Merrill to get lace-trimmed aprons for the gas station attendants, and teach Charlie Jenkins to curtsy when he Waits on the customers. * « * Jimmy DeBergh was having a picnic election day teasing his old friend, Billy Moffett. With the ladies taking over Washington, Jimmy suggested tpat Billy might be mayor of Massie’s Corner. Watts had some of the councilladies-elect all upset by telling them that there was a petition going around to get Snippy Miller kicked out of his place. Watts told the ladies that the men blamed ■Snippy for all af it, -anyway, and Letter To The Editor f Dear Sir: Will yon please publish the following article Corruption; maladministration; conspiracy to defeat good government _ at The Carver Regional High School at Culpeper, at a meeting held recently in the interest of a better set-up at The Regional High School for Negroes from Orange, Madison, Rappahannock, and Culpeper, the following points were discussed; things which actually exist at the Negro Regional High School. 1. That no eligible Negro applicants from any of the four counties who apply for teaching jobs will be approved. 2. That only persons who are from far away distances and who are good rental prospects receive consideration and get the jobs; 3. "that all local teachers who were employed at the plant, with but two exceptions have been let out. i imi tilts lwu i eiiittJiuiig teachers are slated to go at the end of the 1950-51 session. 5. That the Chairman of the Regional school board who incidentally is also the Supervisor of county education, and a business firm in Culpeper have erected several sweat boxes on property adjoining the regional high school and are now in the process of erecting more, are putting the squeeze on the principal to eliminate e- ery teacher who is not a rental prospect in order to still feather this firm’s nest at the cost of the taxpayers of the regional district. 6. That teachers have been hired who are not qualified to meet the approval of the principal’s wife, .who is the head of the home economics department and said teachers have been ordered to attend summer school in order to come up to the State requirements. 7. That the property upon which these sweat boxes have been erected was inveigled out of the owner by a very, very submissive Negro under the disguise of the school board needing it and when the sale was confirmed it was deeded to the Chairman of the Regional Board and a local business firm, the owner stating had he known the sale would not have been made. 8. That a statement was made in the presence of the Negro State Supervisor in reference to why this eligible teacher was not hired and the ineligible one was hired, was made by the principal's wife “That she could handle her.” 9. That the principal is only a rubber stamp official and is not interested in the welfare of the children, only interested in obtaining renters for this set of racketeers who are ''forcing thesesweat boxes on the incoming teachers. 10. That the water and sewerage of these sweat boxes are connected to the regional high school plant furnished to public officials at the expense of the taxpayers. 11. That the renters have to pay the rent the year round in order to hold their jobs. 12. That the renters cannot take in renters unless they state to the owners through the principal hbw much rent they are getting. 13. That the turn over of local teachers in the last two years has been alarming. 14. That we do petition the Governor of Virginia, The Hon. Mr. Battle; The State Superintendent of Public Instruction; The State Board of Education of the that there were already 51 signatures to the petition to run him out of town. It took the ladies a few minutes to discover that the whole business was one of Watts’ iwild tales. SPERRYVILLE THEATRE Shows at 7:30 and 9:15 P.M.

The many illustrations of Miss Dolly’s 'book are the subject of intenes study; every chapter is devoured; and folks are enjoying the book afresh with each conversation with a neighbor who has read it. The county tried to express their appreciation last Friday at “Thornton Hill.” .Perhaps we did not find exactly the correct words, and perhaps we stumbled over them in awkward fashion, but we know Miss Dolly understands what we meant. She should sit back as a queen and receive the homage of her faithful subjects who are eternally grateful for the lovely history of their county, which she has so painstakingly written. x x x “Tis June the month of roses.” Rappahannock is fenced with the beautiful flowers in all their full bloom. They are^lovely, but that song should not have come to mind. One of these days, it is to be hoped, someone will explain why that particular tune used to be the one selected for sadistic butch, ering by every glee club in every high school graduation program throughout this fair and prosperous land. I can still hear it. There was always one lusty soprano who sounded as if someone had securely fastened her nose with a clothespin and then jabbed her with a red-hot poker. The tomcat howls from the back fence were melodious in comparison. There were boys in the glee club, too, but you never heard them. Either they had not learned to control the new adult voices or else they were already cognizant of the fact that, regardless of all State; The Boards of Supervisors ^of the regional four counties; the local school board of the four counties; the taxpayers of the regional counties' and every Negro to send in a protest against this un-American, un-democratic conspiracy and have a thorough investigation made and fire every person from public office who is a part of this conspiracy. We further state that we prevail upon the Federal Government to discontinue any funds to this Regional Negro high school until .-this condition has been cleared up and these three~pergoR!Tti»ve been eliminated. 14.

The Commission will consider the bids when it meets on June 16. Plans and specifications for the repair and remodeling call for the construction of 15 new ponds at the hatchery making a total of 45 ponds when construction is finished. The addition of the new ponds to the present facilities at Montebello is expected to increase the production of trout by at least !&5 percent. During the past stocking seasons all fish sent out by the Montebello hatchery have been two years old or older. This policy was adopted in order to give the fishermen of Virginia the best possible return from both the standpoint of economy and of sport, and it will be continued when the new facilities are completed. protect against, POLIO/ Two year protection.

Use NEWS classified ads 1,556 Forest Fires Burned In Virginia, (March-April Serious forest fire condition^ have ended for this spring, according to State Forester, George W. Dean. He states that rain and green vegetation have closed what was the worst spring forest fire “conditions existing in the state since 1342. During the past spring,, principally in March and April, 1556 fires burned in Virginia’s woodlands, bringing destruction to 16, 038 acres of timber. This is con-' trasted with the record for the spring of 1949, during which 1,027 fires burned 8,279 acres. The spring season was marked by high, drying winds and spasmodic rainfall. These conditions brought about the highest forest fire hazard that has been recarded in the state since the spring of 1942, at which time 222,347 acres of Virginia’s woodlands were burned. Rainfall and general weather records for the two seasons were nearly the same. Mr. Dean states that only the care exercised by persons using the woodlands and the quiet action of the forest wardens kept this years record from being much worse. He feels that the wardens should be especially complimented for the facts that their efficient action kept the average fire to 10 acres and that only 00.12 percent of the woodlands of Virginia were burned. Virginia Forest Service records show that the largest fires of the season burned in Powhatan, 596 acres, and in Mecklenberg, 335 • acres. From the standpoint of the largest number of fires, Henrico and Chesterfield( counties lead with 73 dnd 75 respectively. Fairfax County had 46 fires and Norfolk ran fourth with 43.

It’s easy to do—you don’t have to work much harder than when you’re preparing the~i to eat fresh. Here’s how. Strawberries for freezing should be uniformly ripe, at the stage you would use them on the table as fresh berries. Green, or overripe, mushy berries do not freeze well. Freeze tfie berries as soon after picking as possible. They lose quality and spoil quickly if held even for short periods. Sort the berries and remove the green and overripe ones. Cap them at the same time. Then wash the berries in cold water and remove any soil. A wire basket may be used to hold the berries while washing. Don’t try to wash too many at once, however, as it is difficult to get them clean that way. Drain berries in a colander. There are two ways you can pack your berries. You can slice them or leave them whole. The flavor of sliced berries is considered better by many people, but it is a matter of individual taste. It may depend on how you will use the berries. If you are going to slice them, do it now. Mix the berries with sugar. Use one cup of sugar to 4 or 5 cups of berries. Mix well in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Some juice will be formed. Now you are ready to package your strawberries. They can^be packaged in waxed cartons or plastic bags. I suggest that you see your locker operator and have him explain the -different types of packages to you. Most loclcer operators also sell packaging materials, and know the merits of each kind. When packaging your berries, leave a little room in the package to allow for expansion in freezing. Then seal the package tightly to l^eep out any air and prevent drying out of the berries. After they are sealed,. label the packages with the name of the product and the date packed so you can tell what is in the package later and use the oldest first. Then get the l»ackages into your locker immediately. If necessary to hold them at all, keep them in your refrigerator, but they should be frozen at zero degrees as soon as possible. Store at zero until used.

P. H. DeHart, Extension agronomist at V. P. I., says that this starvation which shows up in yellow color or firing <){ corn can be avoided by sic’}‘-d!ressing with enough nitrogen to meet the needs of the crop. If enough nitrogen is used between now and the last cuitiva-! tion to keep off the starvation signs through August, it will boost Virginia’s corn yields by at least 15 to 20 bushels per acre. This increase on the 1,140,000 acres of corn in Virginia would add over 2,250,000 bushels of corn to feed bins at a value of about $2,750, 000. The cost of the additional nitrogen is more than offset by increased yields. For instance two pounds of nitrogen, costing less than 30c, usually will produce one bushel of corn worth $1.25 to $1. 50. On a larger scale, 100 pounds of a nitrogen fertilizer costing hbout $3.00 may be expected to produce eight bushels of corn worth $10. to $12. DeHart points out that the extra nitrogen tliat reduces starvation in Old Dominion corn fields may be the ammunition that has has the power to win the 1950 “corn war-’ with the Tarheels. He says that if the “No FiredCorn in August” program is carried out, Virginia farmers call meet their present needs for corn on one- third less acres. This land can be used for pasture and hay to feed livestock, and at the same time, will reduce erosion caused by plowing steep land. Mayor-Elect Davis Has A Black Eye Bring on the photographers now. The picture they get at this time will bring solace to the wounded pride of the men who have had all this publicity of the women’s election rammed down their throats. Mayor-elect Mrs. George H. Davis has a black eye. She says she fell down the stairs. She explains at length about the telephone book being left on the steps and she didn’t see it. In fact, she will give a long explanation about the bruises on her elboiws, and about the blow landing on her cheek, and how she slipped and fell, and numerous other stories. No one doubts the veracity of the pretty mayor-elect. Most people listen to the explanation and smile. She is extended sympathy, and the general public hates to see a lady with a black eye, but maybe George Davis isn’t washing dishes, after all. There can be a surmise in the general direction of this reasoning: Mr. Davis is a patient man. He took all the election hilarity with a grin-and-bear-it air. But there comes a time when enough’s enough. Yes, sir. It looks like the Mayor-elect is going to do all right when it comes to managing. the business affairs of the town of Washington, but appearances at this time point darkly to the fact that Mr. Davis is in charge at home.__ Boy ixout Caravan To Be In Warrenton For 3 Days A caravan of 15 buses carrying 546 Boy Scouts and their leaders from the Greater Cleveland Council, Boy Scouts of America, Cleveland, Ohio, will arrive in Warrenton Saturday evening, June 24, for a three-day stay in Virginia before moving on to the National Boy Scout Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pa., June 30 to July 6.

Some Opinions Gladys Reid betook herself to flperryville Tuesday to collect the opinions of the Sperryville citizens on the subject of the victorious ladies' election in Rappahannock’s county seat. Before the ambitious youn valedictorian of Whslifngton High School's class of 1950 set Out on iher perilous journey she was warned that there was no telling what kind of answers she would get. After all, those Sperryvillains don't exactly follow any set pattern, and individual personality is appreciated there about as well as it is in the other sections of Rappahannock county. "Lee Thornton waa leaving his office,” reported Gladys. “At first he refused to comment when I asked him his opinion ' on the ladies being elected in Washington, but he went up to the Sandwich Shop and there he got to talking.” Said Lee Thornton: "I have no comment on anything the other aide of Redivha bridge. We rereserve all our opinions for this side . . . We’ll back any capable woman candidate for the trial justice—as he was the campaign manager for the all-woman slate, he should be willing to step aside for any capable woman.” Dr. John P. Snead had entered the Sandwich Shop during Lee Thornton’s dissertation and, when asked his opinion, he said to just continue the present interview, for "Lee Thornton should know what a petticoat rule will mean.” Joe Henry Aylor played it safe, with “No comment” as his answer to questions. Mrs. Aylor was present. „ The two mail-carriers, Mr. Waye and Mr. Kitty Brown, got Gladys a -little confused. Quoth Mr. Waye: “I think it’s a wonderful thing; the more petticoats we have the more-we sell. If they’re half as good as my wife, they’ll be perfect." “Now,’ states Gladys, “I don’t quite understand iwhat he meant, because I don’t think he’s married.” “When I asked Mr. Kitty Brown what he thought of the women being elected,” continued Gladys, “he said, ‘I have nothing against the men, but if the women were elected, let ’em have it’.” Tom Leake and William Jefferson seemed thoroughly in favor of the women’s rule. Said Leake: “I think it’s the greatest thing that ever happened, I hope they take the whole county over.” “I don’t know why he said that,” Gladys commented. Jefferson, stated, “I think it should be taken over by the ladies —after all, somebody’s got to take it' over.” Joe Johnson* seemed unperturbed. “If it suits them, it suits me. If the men aren’t capable of running, it, it’s o.k. for the women to take over.” “I don’t know where he got the idea that the men weren’t capable,” said Gladys. The Sperryville ladies were enthusiastic. Mrs. Sealock and Mrs. Johnson at the post office, both approved. Said Mrs. Sealock, “I think ft’s fine.” “I think it’s fine for the women to take the lead,” said Mrs. Johnson. Billie ,Schwartz approved. “I like the idea. It’s going to work out all right.” And Miss Louise O’Bannon, sitting on her porch, voiced firmly, “They couldn’t have gotten a better bunch. I think they are going to work wonders.” Mrs. Nelson Nethers did the talking at the Ser-ice Station. “Mr. Nethers didn’t say a thing,” reported Gladys. “I think it’s a very good idea,’1* stated Mrs. Nethers. “The men have been running the town long enough. If it’s any possible chance, I’m going to run for sheriff next year.” Ned Johnson spoke quietly in answer to Glady’s questions. She thought she may have heard a tone of resignation. Anyway his statement was made calmly: “It suits me fine. The town of Washington is in good hands.” Gladys missed seeing all the citizens of the fair village. She failed to get the Atkina’ and Estes' stores, and she didn’t interview ‘ Archie Dobson, Maybe it’s just as well. ■ «. i HAVE YOUR Lawn Mower Sharpened BY THE Factory Sharpening Process Sharpened and Adjaatad far J«M» Jenkina Will Pick Up And DnUaar Yaw Mawar Fixit Shop y Raw af Cnlpapar NalT Bank Phone 8607 Culpeper $2.50 County News Notes Mrs. C.
