here is now thoroughly convinced that, dead relatives will remain buried only if promised burial fees are paid the undertaker and not spent for an automobile. Junie Goodman, grandson of the late Mrs. Rosa Wynn, took the insurance money which was to pay funeral expenses of the deceased, bought himself an automobile, and left Thomas Cook, of the wellknown T, E. Cook & ,Co., undertakers “out in the cold,” as to the money. Whereupon, Mr. Cook, last Thursday secured a permit from the Board of Health, went to Balm of Gilead church, about six miles from Suffolk, disinterred the body aas revivalists stared, and returnerf it to the home of Mrs. May Ann Goodman, daughter of the dead woman and mother of Junie Goodman. Get Paid, Reburies Body His almost unprecedented measures to collect a funeral bill rewarded,"Mr. Cook, Friday buried the body again, this time for pay. “May Ann Goodman came to my place,” Mr. Cook said, “when the old woman died, and signed a paper stating that what money came from the insurance on the life of Rosa Wynn would he turned over
to us to help pay for the funeral.
“She says she sent the money by Junie Goodman, but that he went and bought himself a car. “I went to the Board of Health aand got a permit to take up the body, which I did. They were holding a revival meeting at Balm of Gilead church, and one old man said he had been digging graves for 49 years and nothing like this had ever happened. Took Casket Back “I told him that things were happening now that never had happened before. I dug up the body, took my casket, which was just as good as when I buried it, on July 7, and took out the body and put it on my cooling hoard and carried it to the home of May Ann Goodman. and Left it in the sitting room. “The body was in good condition. “All the people at t'he revival wanted to see the body and I let them loofc at it and they said it was certainly natural.” This is the first time, according to local historians that an undertaker has taken such steps to collect a hill although, according to the undertakers, lots of them are owing.

This brings the total public stations j serving the big terminal up to 226

Of these public telephones, 166 are coin stations and 60 are operator, attended by a force of 20 supervisors and operators.
