FAV0RS JOINT
POOR FARM
COUNTY COMMISSIONER McGI5-
BON WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THREE COUNTIES UNITE.
Says the Poor of the Three Counties
Can Be Cared for Almost AS
cheapIy In One Location AZ Poor
of One county-Abusine the Char
ity Of County Officials.

The failure in the receipt of appli-
the county hospital here in response
to the advertisement of the board of
county commissioners, Mrs. Dobyns
having rendered her resignation, will
probably result in the county commits
sioners purchasing Mrs. Dobyns
household stuff n re-employing her.
She gave up the place because she
could not afford to pay the insurance
rates demanded, the hospital being a
considerable distance from the center
of the city and beyond the reach OF the
electric light company, making the
danger from fire somewhat greater
than closer down town.
Commissioner James McGibbon has
begun the discussion of a plan to
unite at least three counties forming
a contiguous territory into one body
for the caring of the poor. He n
tends that the paupers of the three
counties, once they are placed in ne
hospital. can be cared for at less eX-
pense than three separate institutions
can be maintained. The Union Pa
cifc railroad has made a considerable
reduction to the boards of county COM
missioners for the transportation OF
charity persons, and he figures that,
making a central institution for three
counties, the patients could be cared
for at much less expense than under
the present system.
The hospital here is all that could
be desired, Mrs. Dobyns being an ideal
matron. but she cannot afford to run
it as it should be with the help she gets
from the county for the care OF It's
needy subjects. At present there is
not a charity patient at the hospital.
Mr.. McGibbon further says the care
ofthe Door is one of the hardest prop
lens that c~onfronts the board In the
administration of the affairs OF the
county. 'If one knew the best method
of dispensing aid he would nave &C
complished the main thing" said inc
commissioner. Il had much rather
relieve ninety and nine undeservine
persons thar to slight n that is de
serving, but the ninety n Mn re
uuire a large sum of money IL they are
to be treated as the deserving one
should be. Charity dispensed by the
counties is often m%isapplied, ana We
have worried over that task. We know
that we are being abused, but We
have not the heart to condemn on ID
occasions and we have always the lea'
before us hat We shall do injustice
if we try too hard to be exactly just

A PRETTY PLAY COMING
To THE NEW GRAND.

Honest Hearts will be presented
at the New Grand Saturday night and
promises to be a very pleasing produc-
ton.
There are few plays touring the
country his season that have met with
more general praise than the new pas
torial drama which Klimt and Gazzolo
have added to their list OF attractions,
Honest Hearts," They are featuring
Alma Hearn in the star part, that Of a
beautiful young Kentucky woman, a
farmers daughter who is wild and I'M
educated but has a romantic experience
which any would welcome. She
becomes engaged to a young civil en-
gineer employed by the government on
a river neal her home and she Is I'M
mediately the target of scandal, jeal
ousy, revenge ridicule and hate. Tit
STORY is told in many interesting ant
picturesque scenes and with an extra
iordinary amount of humor and typica
southern character. Such cen as
the old homestead on the farm and the
Cumberland river view should offer
great opportunities to the producers
and Judging from the skill and ingenu-
.itv shown in ION the Bridge at Mid
night" it is reasonable to expect that
KIimt and Gazzolo have developed
these opportunities to the utmost. The
personnel of Miss Hearn's support in
dicates an excellent company.

Vasquez, one of the leaders of the op-

complaint the fact that Morales as pres

Secretary Root may ask IN American
receivership as a branch of the United

A Word TO the Wise.

We wish we could impress
upon the young people of our
county the Importance of saw
ing a portion of their earnings,
be it ever so small. And there
is no better way in the world
to save money than through a
building and loan association
provided of course that the
building and loan association is
conducted along proper lines.
The Cherokee Bull ding and
Loan Association is a home af-
fair; officered by we'll known
business men who could not af-
ford to do wrong if they had any
inclination TO do so. TO illustrate
how easy it is to save money
through the building and loan
We will cite a case of a young
man who is working for very
moderate salary, but who never
could save money. He took
five shares in the local associa-
ton when it opened FIVE months
ago and was surprised when he
looked a. his book last Saturday
to find that he had S25.00 to his
credit that he would not have
had if he had not taken stock
in the building and loan. A new
series will open soon and every
boy and girl and man and wo-
man who earns anything at all
should take some stock and in
this manner lay by at least a
portion Of their earnings. After
all, it is not so much what one
makes as it is what one saves.
