CHARACTER By tho Associated Press. Richmond, Va., Dec. 4. The death hero recently cf Justice John Jetar Crutchfieid removed one of the most original characters in American legal annals. Justice of the Richmond po lice court for thirty-two years, Judge Ciutchfield enjoyed perhaps the wid en replication of any man holding similar office. Justice Criztrhfielc? was bc-rn in Fichmcnd September 20, 1S44, and w-s educated in the public schools nc.i e. Possessed of an abundance cf natUial wit ud peculiar understand ing of humrn nature, he was im mensely popular. Magazine stories vcro written of him and stage im personation were made of the cele brated "One John," as he was some time3 called. Jn the "c id days" as the anti-dry period was called. Judge Crutchfieid knew all of the "old timers" and when they began to appear on his docket too often, he would have them nt'led before him end ask "Guilty or not guilty?" He knewS hir. man every time and when th j.Trisoner would begin to mumble and .minimize his offense, "Ten dollars or ten days" would end the argument. Years ago there was a character known here as "Jimmy Jones." Re tir.rts were that "Jimmy" and Jus tice Crutchfieid served together in the confederate army, but this was never confirmed. "Jimmy" would ap pear before the justice at least once a week, and when his trembling form would saunter up this dialogue would usually follow: "Good morning, Mr. Jones." "flood morninir. Judge." "What i3 the matter this time.. Mr. Jones?" "Fcelimr a little ?ick last inght, and I rather expect I got a little too much linucr, Justice." "So?" . "Yi"i sir, a litte too much, your honor." "Jimriv, I have been your friend a long time. The last, time you were here I told you thot if you came any more this year I would make it a veir. But you and I can compromise this matter. Now what is the best von can do?" Jones would say he t.hougnt ten Ihv-4 would bo about rti-ht. but Jus tice John would hold for six months, and ask Jimmv to set another figure. Jimmy's refusal to compromise fur ther would brin from the judge ln remark that "if you won t mane it n month. I willh ovo to let you go wilh fiteen days." whereupon "Jim my" wouW'throaton to quit coming to this court." Usually he was released when he became sober. Perhaps Jusitce Crutchfieid was at his best when his courtroom was wit ein-htseers. Then h" would rnd manv fanv fnches to the days dispensation of justice. GRAIN SHIPMENTS Bv tho Associated Prs.

The club members will pay their reg ular entry lees of fifty cents per bird in the above classes and in many of these classes they will show two or three birds in each class of cocks, cockerels, pullets. Mr. Oliver and Mr. Hendricks state that their birds are better than ever, not ex cepting their great exhibit made this fall at Groor.shnvo nnH thf Ktatp fair. Arrangements have been made with the express company to hondle the5Je birds promptly, as it will take over half a car to hold them.
