Some few were lost in the moves of

The New Year that is with us,
seems to be somewhat dissatisfied,
and is much given to tears and mut
terings, (rain and thunder- but as the
sun has always heretofore shown his
smiling face, after days of gloom and
darkness, so we are confidently ex¬
pecting to see the sun in all his glory
of brightness and beauty in a few
days. In the meantime let’s not
grumble about the weather.
Have you made your New Year res¬
olutions and broken them so soon?

Judging By
Appearances
WE all of us know the value of first
impressions. We prefer an automo¬
bile that is good-looking to one that
is simply good. We prefer the su¬
burbs to the crowded streets of down¬
town. We like our children to look
neat. ......
This very natural human desire ex¬
plains the great vogue and popularity
of GRIFFON CLOTHES.
The man who wears a GRIFFON
SUIT is sure to make the right sort
of appearance anywhere—for GRIF¬
FON CLOTHES have style, dis¬
tinction, that well-bred air that helps
a man to make a favorable first im

Coming into our midst when every
one was seeking gladness and peach
last week was that ever dread and
unwelcome visitor, death, and render¬
ing ari unusually sad scene, for the |
victim was almost a stranger among
us.
-Several months ago, probably in
the summer of 24, one of our lovely
young High School girls, Miss Floy
Lee Davidson, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Davidson, while visiting
her sister in Florida, met a fine young
man, Mr. Howard Griffin,, who fell in
love with her at once, and followed
her when she returned home to woo
her, Not having finished school, she
put him off and when the last summer
came, he came back again and would
not be denied. So he married our
young girls and carried her back to
Auburndale, where he had a business,
to live. When the Christmas holi¬
days came on they planned to come
back home for a visit, getting here
1 Christmas day. Sunday, Dec. 25 he
wasn’t feeling well enough to get up
and when a physician was called twas
found he had pneumonia, which with
its rapid work, despite the skill of
doctors and loved ones, carried him
away on Thursday evening, almost be¬
fore the people of the town knew he
was sick.
He was carried back to his home
Friday to be interred, accompanying
body were Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Davidson, Mr. Barney Davidson, Mr.
and Mrs. Webster Patten, Mr. and
Mrs. Lester Smith and Mr. Roscoe
and his bereaved wife. They
will remain down there and wind up
fij s affairs and Mrs. Griffin will return
with them. The sympathy of the en
tire community goes out to the young
bride in her l0SS and . the 0ther .
re a ~
tives bereaved.
While no one here had the pnvi
lege of knowing Mr. Griffin very well,
he had made a splendid impression
on all he had met, who deeply regret
his untimely end. He was about
years of age.

WRECK HORSE MEAT
PACKING CONCERN
COWBOY AROUSED BY HORSES
HE LOVED BEING SHIPPED
FOR SLAUGHTER.
ROCKFORD, 111.—Frank Letz, a
cowboy from Montana, was found se¬
riously wounded in a thicket, where
he had crawled following a gun fight
early today when detectives surprised
him in the act of placing dynamite to
blow up the horse meat packing plant
of Chappei Bros. The plant is used to
convert horses into dog food and meat
products for export to Europe. Letz
told authorities that he had become
aroused by the thought of horses
which he had loved so well on the
Montana ranges being shipped to
Rockford slaughter houses and came
to destroy the business. Four times
he set fires at the packing plant. One
of the fires, October 1, destroyed one
unit' of the plant with an estimated
loss of 150,000. Several persons were
injured. Three other fires were extin¬
guished before damaging anything.
Shortly before daylight this morn¬
ing a private detective,' one of many
guarding the building, saw a figure
crouched against the wail of the
plant. He challenged him. The an¬
swer was a shot. In the ensuing fight
the detective fired several charges
from a sawed off shot gun at him.
Investigation disclosed a suitcase full
of dynamite, enough to destroy the
entire plant, sitting beside a hole dug
in the brick wall of the building. Letz
was found in a semi-conscious condi¬
tion in a clump of bushes almost two
miles from the plant. His baek was
cut to ribbons by the bird shot from
the gun.
The same action by horse lovers,
though not so violent, has been man¬
ifested here several times.
Taken To Court
By 48th Spouse
CHICAGO.—John V. Weidemeir,
who came into public notice recently
through his arrest in St. Louis with
the wjfe of a Chicago furrier, has
been termed a “professional husband”
who has been married at least 48
times, in testimony in an annulment
suit brought by one of his wives.
Mrs. Ethel Wexler Brooks, concert
violinist, who said she married Weide¬
meir in 1924 when he was using the
name, of Arthur Brooks, told Judge
Lewis yesterday that she was the for¬
ty-eighth or forty-ninth, wife, she
wasn’t sure which, and the judge in¬
dicated the annulment would be
granted.
“I’ve been collecting information
about this man,” said the pretty mus¬
ician, “and I find he is known on both
sides of the sea as a defrauder and
professional husband. I have got in
touch with nine women whom he mar¬
ried in the last few years, always un¬
der a different name, and he managed
to get more or less money from each
of them.”
