SHANNON NEWS OF INTEREST TO VETERANS Evidence must be submitted prior to April 6, 1930, to show service con nection for a disability other than nervous and mental disease, spinal meningitis, and active tuberculosis disease, paralysis agitans, encephali tis, lethargica. or amoebic dysentery, unless there is an official record the injury during service or at the time of separation from active ser vice. April 6, 1930, is the last date for filing claim for compensation. These limitations are covered by Sections 206 and 209 respectively of the World War Veterans’ Act. A bill now pending in Congress provides that Section 206 and 209 of the World War Veterans’ Act be re pealed. Veterans legislation in con gress has been unavoidably delayed on account of high government offi cials and members of congress. While it is apparent that Sections 206 and 209 of tile World War Veterans’ Act will be repeated during this session of congress, just when we do not know and the thought has occurred to us that in cider there may not ba any unnecessary delay for those veterans needing clinical or fiscal re lief they should make application therefor on or before April 6, 1930. If claim has already been filed ar.d started in the roof over the kitchen in the residence of Mr. John Graham Wednesday morning about the mid dle of the forenoon. Prompt .ar rival of the fire department and most efficient work on the part of the fire fighters prevented the flames from spreading to other parts of the house. Consequently the damage done was small, water .do ing about as much harm as the fi/e itself. The fire apparently started from a defective flue in the kitchen. The first intimation of it was when a colored woman who was helping Mrs. Graham with the house work hap pened to Ite in the back yard and noticed flames shooting from under the shingled roof. Had it not been for fast work on the part of the fire department the fire would un doubtedly reached the main part of the building grid with the wind blowing at such a strong rate it would have been difficult to control. Nearby property would have been in danger, if not actually destroyed. Methodist Happenings The mission study class met last I Wednesday.

Mrs. McLean was asked to tell a story, and she very interestingly told the story of the “Goose With One Leg,” this being followed by Mrs Jessie McNair, Annie Jones, Mamie McNair and Rosie McMillan, all col ored, of Lumber Bridge, were nobbed here Saturday afternoon by local po lice after thev had visited most of the town’s leading clothing stores and stolen articles from them. ’ The four shoplifters, whom it ^s,- thought are members of an organized k gang, were spotted in the stops- of the John J. Thrower Company about 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon. They paid the Thrower Company a visit during the rush hours of the middle afternoon when the clerks were all busy waiting on customers. One of the clerks in the store was attract ed to the women by suspicious move one of them made. Calling the book- keeper from his office she told him- what she had seen and asked hips to keep ,an eye on the Negroes while the other clerks were busy. But the bookkeeper was too late. A dress had already been taken from the rack and the purloiners had dis appeared. Going out on the street, he soon spotted them coming from another store. The police had arrived by that time and by trailing the group he found a wagon and a bngo-v tied behind Garrett anti Mc Neill's store, which were literally loaded with the stolen goods. Hailed before the Recorder Jessi" McNair and Rosie McMillan pleaded guilty while Annie Jones and Mamie McNair pleaded not guilty. All were found guilty by the court, however, and were given sixty days in jail. The sentences were later changed to $10.00 fine and costs in each Goods found in the wagon identified Illy the merchants whose stores they were taken; from Graham Company, some case, was from some from J A. Singleton and Co.. The John J. Thrower Company., W P. Covington, Miss Katie R. Brown, and W. J. Council’s Department Store and T. Mikill’s. This gang in all probability had been systematically working this and neighboring towns all winter. Had the Thrower Company not acted as promptly as they did the wagon load of stolen merchandise would have been on its way to the country as the occupants of the wagon, when searched, gave every indication that they were just getting ready to leave town. ^ ur ^? r , tetteuoe is required '’ 3PI ; 1 McRae telling of the worst scrape should be suhrmtted to the Veterans she ever Wa3 in . she outlined it Bureau on or before April 6, (thus: which, where and when?
