Robbers entered the Unionville garage, eight miles north of here, Saturday night and secured about (600 worth of automobile tiies and accessories. Entrance was effected by cutting the ha&p from the lock by a set of big wire idlers, at least this ap pears to have been the manner of en try. Residents of the village say they heard a truck approach the garage about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, and after stopping for a short while move on, but as it is not uncommon for parties connected with the garage to visit it late at night, this circumstance created no fciipicioii. The garage Is owned by Luther Griffin and Fred Medlin. No clue has been discovered to the Identity of the robber or rob bers. Capt. Turner B. Thompson, a well known Seaboard conductor, died at 7:45 this morning at his home on Church street after an illness of about teu days. Death resulted from a complication of diseases following lnfluenxa. The deceased was about 42 years of age, and was a native of Homer, Ga. He had been a freight conductor on the Seaboard for a num ber or years, his run at the time or his death being between Monroe and Rutherfordton Mr. Thompson Is survived by his wife, who was very devoted to him. Remains of the de ceased were taken to his old home today for interment. Mr. Thompson was a gentleman of strong character, honest, clever, loyal to his friends, and very generous-hearted. His fel low conductors speak of him in the very highest of terms. j Rev. J. R. V"arrn. paster of sev eral Methodic churches in this coun ty, who sold hundreds of War Sav ings Stamps during the war. and who prayed daily for victory during those ' crucial times, believes that the prop- i er way to celebrate the signing of the armistice is to spend the day in pray-' er. The street dance is unalterably! opposed by him. and during his Sun-' day service at Grace Chapel he said: i "If any of you are preparing to at tend that dance, the best thing for you to do is to go to your pastor and request your names to be taken off the church roll." His text was from the 22nd chapter of Genesis. 2nd verse. "When the Germans were ad vancing toward the English channel in the spring of 1818," said Mr. War ren. "I met the late V. S. Lee on the streets of Monroe. He wore a worri ed expression, and I asked him the cause of his evident bud state or mind. 'Mr. W arren, he replied, 'the Germans are Hearing the English Channel, and if they capture the Channel porta I tear ror the safety or our boys. Their base or supplies would be cut off.' A few weeks later Mr. ilson Issued a proclamation calling upon the people to meet at their churches to pray for victory. Meeting after meeting was held in compliance with his request, count less prayers were offered. War Sav ings Stamps and Bonds were bought, and our brave soldiers, backed by the strengthened morale and prayers of the people back home, won the victory. Our prayers were needed then; Is It not highly proper that we should celebrate the signing or the armistice by returning thanks to God?" Rev. Mr. Warren will con duct memorial services in honor or Luther Garland, who was killed In action, at the North Monroe church at 2 p. in. Thursday. He also an nounces that the revival services at Icemorlee will not be Interrupted Thursday evening, but will be held at the usual hour.
