RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

On February 18th, 1918, the Ladies

ty, Tennessee, lost valuable mem
Der in the death of Mrs. Joseph H.
Courtney. For about 10 months prior
to her death she had suffered int tense

A few months at ST. Thomas Hos.
pital afforded only temporary benefit
and the dread malady, despite the
persistent vigilance of physicians and
nurses, ended the life of once vigor-

a woman of almost unlimited ener-
gies, looking well to the ways of her
house and eating not the bread Of

material aid, when necessary, and
also gave them of the sympathy of
her heart.
The unstinted hospitality of her
home will ever be a pleasant memo

HALF A MILLION
CATTLE DIPPED
RECORD FOR MAY FOR FORTY
SIX COUNTIES IN THREE
STATES.

NASHVILLE, June 26.-In a
statement issued at the local office of
United States bureau of anical indus
try on yesterday reference is made
to an Investigation of the. death of
number of cattle recently after they
were dipped in vat at a packing
plant at Natchez, Miss The death
of the cattle was attributed by the
representative of the bureau who
made the investigation to the fact
that an interval of only twenty-four
hours interviewed between the first
and second dipping of the cattle and
to the fact that proper precautions
were not taken. The statement con-
cluded as follows:
During the month of May of this
year there were dipped in arsanical
solution in forty-six counties in Ala
bama, Mississippi and Tennessee, in
1900 dipping watts total of 1926
herds and 500,7S5 cattle.
when it is considered that the
first watts were built in Mississippi in
1910 and that today there are located
! in the forty-six counties above men
toned 5000 dipping watts, all Of which
are filled with arsenical solution, to-
gether with the large number of cat
tie being regularly dipped in these
watts It must be concluded thai the
citizens of these counties generally
appreciate the value and safety OF
this means of disinfection and that
the fact is thus emphasized that only
reasonable care is necessary to pre-
vent losses or injury from its use"

HOOPER LEAVES
FOR NEW YORK
TO SIGN NOTES IN ORDER TO Sc.
CURE FUNDS TO LIFT THE
STATE DEBT.

NASHVILLE, June 26-Governor
Ben w. Hooper left Wednesday
night for New York in order to be
present at the issuance and sale of
the short time notes, which he will
have to sign IN order to render them
valid According to .eports the mem
bers of the state funding board are
having considerable difficulty in dis
posing of the notes. The amount of
this debt is in the neighborhood or
$10,000,000, and the date for settle
ment falls on July /. Although the
time given the members for the sale
Of the notes is very limited, II is
thought that the deal will be consum-
ated today.
The signing of the notes is no little
job itself, but in all probability will
be facilitated by the use Of one of
those new machines which writes a
persons John Henry" 600 times at
once. Otherwise the governor will
be compelled to shed his coat, roll
up his sleeves and leave orders for
the bringing in of his meals at the
proper time.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 25.-As
a punishment for killing Charlie
Cobb, a barber, last March, Mrs. An

days in Jail yesterday by the jury be-
fore whom she was tried. The YER

Judge A. B. Neil was indignant at the
decision rendered, and characterized
it as a miscarriage of Justice Fol

foreman, judge J. M. Anderson, head
counsel for the defense, walked up
to the judges desk and asked: Are
you going to let her serve it?" Yes,

dered by Judge Neil Monday after
noon, according to the court. He set
specifically that the principal point

The point was broughf out with spec

He declared that to impose any pun
