RESOLUTIONS Whereas, it has pleased God to call to his last reward, on January 7, 1922 Brother William Barton, aged 90 years, a distinguished and faithful member of our church, whose wise and safe counsel has been both help ful and sustaining to our church. And Whereas, the said brother Barton, like a patriarch of old, full of years and honors, was strong in the faith; lived a consfstent Christian life which to us is a priceless heritage; dignified to church of which he was a member, and bequeather to the community a name of which it may well be proud. Therefore, Be it resolved, that the Baptist Church of Bourbon, Missouri, of which he was an active member for 28 years, sensibly feels the loss sus tained in his death; remembers with profound sorrow the parting of earth ly ties; but at the same time rejoices at the exhibition of a firm and stead fast faith in the promises of God as manifested by Brother Barton in his last days. Be it further resolved, that, as a church we will be faithful to his mem ory; grasp the colors fallen from his hands; gather inspiration from his ong and useful life, and strive -to meet him at the last day when the Lord shall come. Resolved, that a copy of these res olutions be preserved in the records of our church; a copy sent to the be reaved family; a copy sent to the Bourbon Standard for publication, and a copy sent to the Brevard News of Transylvania County, N..C. W. G. Stephens: Committee. Joe Creswell: C. O.

I’LL be baek iii a few minutes," said Henry Goudie, cashier of the Bank of Liverpool, to one of his associates. “I’m just going across the street to get a bite of lunch." Ad hour later the officials of the bank began to wonder where Goudie was, but the fact that his bat still remained upon its accustmned peg in dicated tliat the cashier wasn’t far away, .and that he would soon return. But at the closing hour that after noon Goudie was still misnlng—^and when an auditor went over his books it was discovered that a hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds (some $850,000) had also disappeared! Inquiry at the house where Goudie had lodged failed to bring to light any trace of the missing cashier, who had left home that tQorning as usual, ap parently witiiout any intention of being away over night His clothes were in their accustomed position, and even liis toilet articles vvere untouched. In fact, if It hadn’t been for the dis appearance of the money from the bank, the police would have searched the hospitals, on the theory that Goudie had met witli. an accident. But, as Frank Freost, superintend ent of Scotland Yard, pointed out, it was hardly likely that a bank official and $8,^)0,000 would vanish at one and the »e time without some connec tion between the two events. “As luck would have it,” continued Froe>«t. one of tlie ablest detectives in England, “Goudie has chosen the sim plest manner in which to make his es cape—the easiest from his p<^nt of view and the most difficult fr«m the standpoint of the police. It is com paratively simple to find a man who ^ lays his plans in advance. You can usually trace his baggage or his rail way tickets. But Goudie Just walked out to lunch and lost himself some where. He left only one clue behind him—his hat. Therefore, working on the assump tion that a hatless man would be quite conspicuous, and that Goudie, knowing this, would immediately pur chase another hat. Freost made the rounds of tlie shops near the Liver pool bank. From the clerk In one of them he obtained the information that a man answering to the description of th«* mls.sinj; cashier had purchased a cloth cap of a dhstincthre pattern only a few moments after noon on the dajr that Goud?e vanished. By means of tills clue and a detailed report on Goudle’s appearance, Friej^st- soon had every man connected with Scotland Yard searching for the ab sconding cashier.* But it was several weeks before he w as located and cap tured in a lodging house in the north of England. However, the arrest of the man who looted the Bank of Liverpool did not by any means close the case. Even l)efore he was discovered, Freost had found out that Goudie had been in the liabit of playing tl»e races —patronzing a clique of “liand-book men.” who had played upon his cu pidity in such a manner that they, and not ho, had secured the benefits of his dishonesty. In order to recover the money,'Fi-eost therefore had to round up the memhers of this gamb.ing ring and force them to disgorge. It developed that tlie leadjjr of the org:mi7,atlon, sensing a way in which to make a lot of money, without run- nins; any risk, had approached Goudie witli an account of a “fixed race” which was to be run at Epsom Downs, and that the cashier, belleflng that he could clean up a foi-tune in a sin gle day. had taken twenty-five thousand pounds from the bank, falsifying the ascounts to conceal the sliortage. The man’s credulity is evident from the fact tliat he placed the money at odds of 20 to 1, which meant that he stood to \\iii half a million pounds, or $2,- oOO.OCiO if his horse came in first. Of course, no bookmaker could afford to pay a bet of this size—but Goudie overlooked this fact and cheerfully wagered his “borrowed” capital. The horse naturally failed to win, and, in an effort to recoup his losses, the cash ier connnenced systematically to loot the bank’s fimds. On? of the odd feature;; of the case which Freost discovered, by blind luck, (lourtie one day placed a big b^'t on a h»rse that won. When he went to collect his bet, with the firm intention of squaring his accounts witJi the i>ank. he was casually informed that tiie wager had not been placed in time, and he was advised to put !»: on another “sure tip,” which lost. \?lien his defalcations reached a point when it was hopeless to attempt further con cealment from the bank authorities, Gouldie “went out to lunch.” It didn’t take Freost long to dis« cover that, in planning a round-up of the gambling gang he was tackling one of tiie most difficult jobs of hla career. One by one Freost picked up the various threads of the tangled case. One by one he followed the various ciues, at least one of which led to the suicide of a member of the book makers’ clique. But, in addition to seeing that €U>uldie was sent to prison for ten yeare, Freost secured evi dence which forced the return of all hut a small amount of money which had bepr tal:en from the Bank ol LlveiT^uol and placed upon horses, which, save in a single Instance, had no chance whatever to wia. i SHE LOOKS SOWELL AND HAPPY See the.rich, red blood, the sign of healthy akowiiig in her lovely cheelu Some women have naturally beau tiful complexions that tell you there is penty of richness in their blood.
