If the objective has not been reached by the use of shock troops during the day, special reserves may be pressed into action during the coming week. In bringing a special message to members of the local post and the public here Tuesday evening, Col. Hodge A. Newell of Hendersoi stressed the point that membership in the legion would make it possible to bring greater service, and much needed service, to those men who suffered from the war. The purpose of the membership drive over America is to make the legion a more vital force in securing legislation for hospitalization and vocational training. Col. Newell reviewed the work which the legion had done but he was mainly interested in the tasks ahead. "We have practically 1,000,000 members, lnif wo nooH mnrp?tint fnr what they mean to us but for what the Legion may mean to them." Tuesday's meeting was opened by prayer from the Rev. S. E.

'V' "&* , 'sp* MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 5 COUNTY COURTHAS FULL SESSION Recorder's Court Docket Is Crowded Following Two Week's Recess VARIED CASES HEARD After a recess of two weeks, due to the Superior Court occupying the sanctum of law, Recorder's court swung into a full session at Warrenton on Monday with Judge r. O. Rodwell presiding. Operating slot machines, boo2e, abandonment, carrying concealed weapons, and giving a bad check were represented in the bills of indictment. Judgment was suspended upoa payment of costs anu the instruction of the court to abandon the practices in reference to operating slot machines and punch boards. Defendants were P. E. Brauer and L. B. Bronson. Jim Robinson, charged with carrying a gun concoaled, was found not guilty. Fir aimer Rodwell was fined $10 and cost on a charge of assault. Six children were taken from George Thomas in the suit orought against him charging abandonment. Five were given into the care of his wife and one was given to G. H. Thomas?the court's effort to untangle a domestic row and provide peace and comfort for the family. The defendant, Thomas, was charged with the cost. Sentence was suspended against H. J. Hoover after payment of the cost. He was charged with giving a bad check to Bowers & Burwell. The court took little time to find that Cal Crossan, respectable negro citizen, was not guilty of a charge of possessing liquor. The charge grew from the raid on a liquor still last week near his premises. First reports by oflicers of the law said that the steam plant was on "Uncle Cal's" land, but this was an error. He proved to the court that the liquor which was stored in his barn had been placed there without his knowledge and being a man of even habits, and with a good character, the court discharged him. Each of three citizens, found with a pint or less of corn juice, and testifying that it was for personal consumption and for friends enroute, were fined $10 and costs apiece.
