W.R., Former Citizen, Gives Burglar 'Views' HENDERSON, Aug. 28.?Walter Vaughan, in a communication to the Daily Dispatch today made fun with the "Burglar Man," who wrote a letter to the people of Henderson through the Daily Dispatch yesterday, advising them to "watch out" for him. Mr. Vaughan advised this burglar person that he had a weak heart, and that if the night prowler wanted anything the railroad man had he could have it for the asking, only please don't come. His letter follows: "Upon my return to the city this morning from a much needed vacation of a few days, I read with much interest the burglar item in your paper, and have heard with much concern about the various robberies. Mr. Burglar had bet ter watch his step, Because mer are some very dangerous men in this town, and waking up in the wee small hours of the night they shoot with telling accuracy, and to hear them tell how they would handle the situation should a mid-night call be made upon them, is quite thrilling. I did not know until this morning that Arthur Bunn was such a marksman, I would advise man" tn he careful. tllid UUlg-LMX vw . "As far as I am concerned, to say the least, I am "skeered.'' Something like ten or fifteen years ago I took a "British Bulldog' and tried my durndest to hit a barn door. As far as I know, the bullets are going still; surely they did not stop within the vicinity of the barn. So, Mr. Burglar, please let me go. I can't shoot, never had over a dollar and a half in my house at any one time in my life, and my wife thinks I am a brave man, and if I have anything in the world that you want, please ask me for it, and I will be glad to hand it over, provided, of course, it is not in public, for I don't get "skeered" when there are others around, for I know they would help me out. And the front I can put on in the day time and when there are a lot of policemen and others around is a caution. What I am talking about, Mr. Burglar, is at night when I am alone with nobody around but the wife and kids, that's when I wilter. "Of course, you know your stuff, and you certainly have been "square" in telling us to lookout for you, and I feel resonably safe, because a brave man like you would want to tackle men like my friend "Buck" Wilson. "Mr. Burglar, won't you please | blow a whistle just before you get i to my house? I want to retain the! good opinion my wife has withj reference to my "spunk" and the grand stand play I will put up will fix me up in grand style. But I swear I won't shoot, and you will be perfectly safe at my house.

Service J Music Course At High School Is New Method To the Patrons of the John Graham High School, It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce the organization of public school piano classes in the John Graham high school with the opening of the school year in September. These classes will use the Kinscella method of public school piano class work and will be taught by Miss Lillie Belle Dameron who studied this method under the direct supervision of Miss Kinscella this Summer. The Kinscella method numbers more than 60,000 children in its rtlncoAt" onnVi ttoov nnrl 1 o i ri iicq 1 n uicwqco cawi jcaa emu *o eei UMU hundreds of cities and towns in the U. S. A. In fact, "it has gained international prominence and is being taught on every continent of the globe." It is hoped that many parents will take advantage of this opportunity to enroll their children in these classes. Any child in the school (beginning with the second grade and including boys and girls through the high school) who is not already studying piano with a private teacher, is eligible to enrollment in the class upon proper enrollment at the school building and payment in advance of the slight fee which is charged for the lessons. The fee is $1.50 per month and pupils are required to pay one term's tuition ($6.00) in advance. Miss Dameron will be glad to give you any further information desired. We feel that this opportunity for first-class instruction at so small a cost is a great privilege, and we hope that we may include a boy or a girl from your home in our el asses J. EDWARD ALLEN.

A large number of friends and relatives assembled at Sulphur Springs Sunday afternoon to pay their last tribute of respect. The large array of beautiful floral offerings bore mute testimony of the love and esteem of those who knew and loved her. The Rev. R. E. Brickhouse of Warrenton, who had married the young couple less than a year ago, officiated. Mrs. Peoples is survived by her husband and infant son, her mother and father, and two sisters and three brothers. "'Don't Ask Me About Driving; I'm No Cop" "I will appreciate it if parents with children under 16 years of age will stop asking me to allow their children to drive. I'm not a traffic cop." Thus writes Miss Lucy I. Leach, welfare officer for Warren, in an 4- ~ -4? 4.1-i- ? ? upcii 1CLLCI \AJ paiCULd U1 LUIS UUUlltv. Miss Leach says that she is constantly worried by persons who think that she can allow children to drive. The welfare officer has many duties to perform, but "if I'm a welfare officer, how can I allow persons to break the law? I wish the parents would not continue to make such requests."
