PAGE TEN Folks | < <' ! and I ;: Events F | | H Gordon Poindexter was talking to Fred Moseley and Brodie Jones in front of the drug store Wednesday evening when Gordon asked Fred if Ithe town of Warrenton didn't have a small roller suitable for use in rolling soil for lawns. *"?3 ?that it did and ricu aiiovvwvw v..v.? Gordon wanted to know where to find it. "I don't know," he answered, "Get Brodie here to ask through the paper for the last man who had it to let you know. The town roller has been, you know, kinder used around anywhere." Well, read 'em and return the roller. "Dream of Love," a picture sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of the American Legion, Limer Post, was shown here Monday evening at the Imperial, and the show drew many who were pleased. Proceeds were for the boys at Oteen. People here enjoyed the movie and helped a splendid cause. Around town these days one frequently hears the opinion expressed that it would be good sense and good government to sell tne notei and invest the money in a town water system. Incidentally, one of the best comments about the water came some time ago when a guest at the hotel asked a regular boarder, "What's WTong with this water? It's so muddy." "Or the water is all right. We just keep it in a charred keg." "Be durned if it tastes like it," the visitor remarked. "The coffers of the town need some cash," Chief of Police M. M. Drake commented on a visit to the office this week. "Please call attention to this fact, and ask that the people pay their taxes now." The tax books are in the custody of Mr. Drake, and he says "it is always a pleasure for me to write a receipt." Sheriff Williams is rather anxious for tax money, too. His request was similar to Chief Drake's only countywide in scope. Sheriff wants all taxes paid as promptly as possible. Favorable comment is being heard about the front of W. A. Miles Hardware Co. store. Mr. Miles went in for orange paint and an attractice entrance is the result. Work on the Parish House at the Episcopal church is being carried forward rapidly by Contractor Smiley and indications are that it is going to be a rather attractive building when completed and a fitting memorial.

Warrenton, Nort North Carolina Is Not In Federal Patronage Probe WASHINGTON, March 20.? North Carolina is in exclusive company again. No complaints have been registered with Senator Brookhart's patronage probing committee from the Old North State. It is the only Southern State outside Q- Virginia I that hasn't filed complaints about patronage scandals. Extension of it*' investigation into "practically every state" in the Smith was Dromised today by Chairman Brookhart, of the Senate patronage committee, but he said tonight that he had received no complaints from North Carolina. "Will you investigate North Carolina?" ne was asked after the word had gone out that he would make a clean sweep of the South. "We have received no complaints," he replied. He added that his committee could hardly start an investigation in any state unless it had complaints. He has plenty of them from other Southern states. The inquiry has been confined to South Carolina. Mississippi, Geor- ' gia and Texas, but it is expected to be extended to Tennessee and Louisiana. The date for resuming 1 the investigation will not be determined until the return of Senator ' McKellar of Tennessee. i Marmaduke Itmes I We were all sorry to lose our , neighbor, Mrs. Bettie W.

The girl, a gleaming blonde beauty, figure full, delicate, voluptuously formed, clad in a single leopard skin, drew away from the menace of the eyes and voice of the dark white man, reversion to the elemental, a thousand miles from civilization. "Dance, I tell you!" hissed Black John through his wolfish teeth. Her eyes, deeper and more blue than any lake of the Dark Continent, shot a quick glance to the right. There lay the jungle, teeming with wild life, fascinating, mysterious with its keen, heartless struggle for existence crowned by the survival of the fittest. It was beautiful?and relentless. Another quick glance to the left. There was the stockade wrested by man from pitiless luxuriant nature. Mary Trevor saw the huts, the ;abin to which she had been borne with her little brother Bobbie, after the wreck of the liner "Empress," sole survivors picked up Black John, the beachcomber. In a great semi-circle before the thatched huts in the stockade squatted the blackskinned natives, on one side their Patriarch, on the other the drummers with their outlandish hollowed logs covered taut with goat skins. They were waiting for Black John to call on the spirit gods of their ancestral jungle, waiting for him to demonstrate again the power of the white-man's witchcraft. "Dance!" An instant her eyes turned heavenward as she wafted a prayer. Above swayed the tangle of tropical moss and rope-vines. It was a glorious wild picture of nature "where every prospect pleases?and only man is vile." Black John seized Mary in viselike grip by the wrists. "Dance! Dance at this ceremony of the Curse of Tarzan! The next time, remember, it will be the ceremony of .our wedding. Dance?or I will call the priests and perform the ceremony?now!" With his other hand he waved. The weird sound of the native drums accompanied by the clatter of spears and aboriginal musical instruments burst forth in a pandemonium of barbaric tempo. Black John advanced into the center of the group, descendants of a pirate crew that had settled in [UNTERC wspaper Within A Newspap March 22, 1929 With the s First Blush I / o ti of Spring w Comes the *!

He himself, the wayward son of a noble British family, by his superior wit and shrewdness* had made himself the leader of the tribe, pretending a 1 mastery of witchcraft. "m ? ~ vvAAnln own " rarzan ana ins aye ycv/yi? enraiding our cattle!" he cried loudly. "They are destroying our fields. They must perish!" He hung on the word as if it alone would annihilate an enemy. Still grasping Mary Trevor, the delicate, beautiful, high-strung American castaway, by the wrist Black John continued to harangue and exhort the villagers. He paused before a flat stone. Seizing a brand from the council fire he applied it suddenly to a little pile on the. stone. Instantly there was a blinding flash and a column of smoke shot high up in the air. It was Black John's magic by way of casting a spell to set fire to some black gunpowder and overawe the villagers, as a prelude. "This will cast a spell of terror against Tarzan," he shouted boldly. "A curse on Tarzan and his tribe! He will not dare to come near us now!" The beating of the native drums rose in sharp staccato, the clashing of musical instruments and of spears, the weird music of native voices. Black John pulled Mary forward by the wrist almost dislocating it by the savage force of his grasp. "Now," he whispered, "dance! Show them my power over the White Goddess who will win the favor of the Jungle Gods! Dance as you never danced before! Give it to them?all!" Mary felt herself catapulated into the midst of the wild assemblage with the frenzied music. There was just time for one thought to flash through her mind in a split second. The dance of wild abandon was the least of many evils that might befall her. It would give her respite ?if even for a day?and another day, what might another dawn bring forth? Propelled by the force of Black John she caught herself, poised on one foot, balanced, whirled and was off in a dance that was a stone-age exaggeration of classical dancing now, swept on into writhings and posturings of old dance halls of ;ram i >er No. 33 Valter White, Adv.

In his hands he held a grass rope. About his neck hung a wonderful hunting knife in a sheath suspended by a thong. He looped the rope and let it fly out. It caught on the limb of another tree with a peculiar loop that fastened itself. He pulled it tight, swung in a quick arc to the ground, slacked the rope and with a deft twist pulled it off the limb and down. Handsome and erect he stood, every muscle playing smoothly as he gathered his grass rope, coi'ed it, and slung it over his shoulder. Suddenly above the multitudinous sounds of the jungle he heard something that set him in quick motion crashing through the tangle. It was Teeka, the she-ape, belle of the jungle, giving a call for help. The man parted the fronds of underbrush in time to catch a glimpse of Taug, an interloper, strange to that part of the jungle, as the powerful arms of the ape' grasped Teeka about to bear her Ide I w BETTL A House dresses, sizes ] Big values A f?* J unue Dres Fori Are here and g Age 2 to 1.191? you will find table when you Warrant! > - ^ >i' . .' - orth Carolina | off. Teeka chattered and screamed in terror. An instance and the man with incredible quickness and strength was between them, facing Taug. "Go back whence you came! I, Tarzan, command!" He stretched forth his arm with an imperious gesture. But it was the voice that would have arrested and held attention. It was a human voice?but these were no human words. For of all the beasts he knew the language, knew their names and how to call them, knew their trails I and all their dangers; helped them, ! played and lived and suffered. This was Tarzan, the Mighty, j King of the Jungle! Chapter II QUEEN OF HIS KIND Into the heart of the Jungle, mysterious and fascinating, where Tantor, the elephant, prince of beasts, trumpeted to the herd, where Numa, the lion, ruler of his kind, preyed on man and beast, where lived the tiger, the rhinocerous, the crocodile, and above all the ape people who made up in shrewd cunning what they lacked in strength, years before had come two intrepid explorers, Lord and Lady Greystoke.
