BIOGRAPHICAL"

Sorrel T. Lebo, known among his
friends sometimes as Elmer Lebo. was
born in Attica, Indiana, so years ago
yesterday. His early life was spent in
working in woollen mills, running res
taurants, groceries, and most anything
else he could find to do. He came to
Richmond 25 years ago, since which
time he has been a most successful
grocery salesman. He enjoys the dis
tinction of having annual sales of six
figures and is considered one of the
best posted grocerymen on the road.
He was the second president of Post
c, and has been twice elected Presi-
dent since that time. He has been
chairman of the Arrangements and
Reception committees and a member
of the board for a number of years,
which position he still occupies, has
served as state president one term and
is now serving as state director. He is
noted in various ways, one of them
being that he can play Rhum longer
and have more candy for his efforts at
less cost than anybody in Richmond
He can put up a stove and join the
pipe without swearing. Also he can
talk to Shorty Shreeve, in Shorty's
Esppiest moments, for sixty straight
seconds without using a cuss word. He
/ is not strong on church going, that
anybody ever heard tell of, but be-
lieves that honesty, straightforward
living, following the golden rule, lov-
ing his wife and children and provid-
ing for them comfort and plenty, hav-
ing the respect of his associates, will
be a great credit to An immortal
soul. He numbers his friends by the
thousands all over eastern Indiana
May his shadow never grow less, and
may he live to see as many more birth
days as he has already seen.
Married on Wednesday August 28,

Hughes-John B. Hegger and Flor

probably lost one of it's most faithful
attenders, but the Press Chairman
certainly unites with all Of the mem
bers in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Johnnie

have the kindness to excuse him long

A Memphis character well known

persistent in his applications for loans
and extremely careless about repaying
them. Several years ago this man had
induced q local bank to loan him so
and had given his note therefor. At the
end Of each three months he invariably
appeared and asked that the note b
renewed, and as there was nothing else
to do the bank always renewed it. One
day he went into the bank and said to
the cashier:

interest on it any longer"

the tendency Of the company to him

have been ordered cancelled. The Pat

considered the greatest monopoly now

daughters, and two others and then
committing suicide.
HOME BURNED.
In some mysterious manner the

affair, Mrs. Murray being found on
the street in her night clothes severe
" wounded, had note in her posses.

That the whole affair had been
planned in advance at the moment the
house was set afre is almost certain
'as the note stated that Murray had
more troubles than he could stand
and for that reason took the life Of
himself and family, asking that the
bodies be buried in the lot which he
has secured at the, cemetery.
WILL RECOVER.
Mrs. Murray will recover from the
