MCCORMICK
MAKES RECORD
BY Reducing County's Indebted
ness More Than 100000
During Term.

AT the regular monthly meeting
of the Montgomery Fiscal Court
yesterday County Attorney E. W.
Senff, in open court burned seven
81 10000 r. r. bonds with cou-
pons attached. There has also
been paid an additional bond,
which has not yet been returned
from New York. He called the
courts especial attention to the
fact that in spite of the bad
health and his terrible injury
received in a railroad accident,
Judge Mccormick had looked af-
ter the financial affairs of the
county with marked ability and
had made for himself record of
which he should be proud; that
when he went into Office the
county owed approximately $685.
10000, practically all of its in
tefest-bearing; that in addition
to paying the current expen ses,
which, due to free turnpikes,
have been enormous, he had paid
off some 100000 of interest
bearing indebtedness; that most
of this sum was applied on the
R. R. bonds which draw five per
cent, Judge Mccormick having
reduced that item of indebted
ness from $55,oo.oo to 100000.
The County Attorney also ex-
pressed the belief that the new
administration, headed by Judge
Chenault, because of the great
reduction in interest, ought, with
proper management, do even
better and urged that rigid econ
omy be observed by all members
of the court, especially in the
matter of pauper allowances,
which ought to be reduced one
half or more.
The usual claim list was allow
ed and routine business trans
acted.

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H.

a few friends witnessed the cere-
mony. The marriage was the
elimination of happy courtship
that has extended several years.
Miss Wood was one of the
most popular girls ever reared in
our city and by her gracious

church for several years and has
made quite an enviable reputa-
ton as a teacher both of voice

Der of the Walsh Co., one of the
leading clothing concerns of our
city, is young man of splendid
business qualifications, possess
ing the happy faculty of making
and retaining the friendship of
all with whom he comes in con-
tact. Everybody knows and adj
mires Jack Burbridge.
Immediately after the cere-
mony the young couple left for
short bridal trip, the destination
of which they would not divulge.
Upon their return they will re
side with the brides parents.
That only the good things of life
will be their portion is the sim
cere wish of countless friends
with whom the Advocate joins
in extending fluctuations.

chased the clothing business OF
]. H. Reyes at Winchester sew
eral weeks ago, and who was to
take possession February Ist.
will not go to Winchester as Mr.,

We are glad Mr.. Walsh, who

business men in the city has de-
cided to still make Mt. Sterling

A Winchester paper reported
that Mr.. Walsh would engage in

is a mistake as he has not yet de-
cided Just what he will do.

meeting January grid. 1914, pass
ed a ruling that all persons who
expect to teach in Montgomery
county in 1914 must attend at
least one term of school before

fact of the low salaries last year

Supervisor, to conduct an Insti-
tute of eight weeks at the County
High School building, beginning
February end. 1914 Tuition will
be free.

NAL School, and did post gradu-
ate work in the Indiana Univer-
sity, lectured on the Science of
Teaching in the Oxford Normal,
and was Superintendent of the
Oxford City Schools for sixteen
years, resigning from that posi-
ton in 1905 on account of i'll
health. Prof. O'Rcar has been
connected with education in
Montgomery county since re-
turning to Kentucky, having
been member of the County
Board from its organization,
leaving that body to take up the
work of County Supervisor.
Each week there will also be one
or more of the leading educators
of the State to assist in the work.
Teachers applying for schools
in Montgomery county must en-
close certificate from principal of
school attended, otherwise appli
cation will not be con sidered.

LOCAL MEN
WELL SATISFIED
With Purchases in Sunny South
And Are Optimistic
About Future.

Messrs. Henry r. Bright, r. c,
Lloyd and M. o. Cockrell are de-
lighted with their holdings near
Van Dorm, Ala. Mr.. Cockrell
recently purchased the interest
of Mr.. Lloyd in the farm of
Bright & Lloyd and now Mr..
Lloyd, after selling his livery
stable property here last week,
has returned there, with the in
tention of purchasing bigger
tract in the same neighborhood.
They claim an investment there
yields a much greater return on
the amount invested than any
where they have ever been. La
Dor is clean and plentiful; fine
weather is abundant, artesian
wells, put down at cost OF
about 500 each, being numerous
and bermuda grass and burr
clover furnishes a combination
fer twelve months pasture, max
ing the country especially
adaptable for the raising of hogs,
mules, horses and cattle. Alfalfa
hay has had a ready market at
$22.oo a ton, F. o. B. cars and as
the alfalfa crop was cut FIVE
times last year on the farm of
Bright & Lloyd, it can be easily
seen what a profitable PROPOSE
ton that is.
While there recently, Mr..
Cockrell visited many beautiful
farms owned by Kentuckians, in
Guiding that of Mr.. Warren Ba-
con, of Paris, Ky, who every
body will remember as the own
err Of Laconda and Peter Bill
kin. Mr.. Bright Cockrell and
family have moved there to
make their future home and
the Messrs. Cockrell, Mr.. Bright
and Mr.. Lloyd are all loud in
their praise of the sunny south
and believe this part of Alabama
to be the equal of any country in
the world.

Washington, June 23.-As a result
of action taken today by the house.
President Wilson will soon be clothed
with authority by congress TO sell the
hattleships Idaho and Mississippi TO
the government of Greece. After
lively fight in which the Republicans
and Democrats Joined. the house to-
day, by vote of ia to 81, went on
record in favor Of the sale of the
ships. II adopted an amendment TO
the naval Appropriation bill that diff
fars in form, but not in substance,
from the senate proposal, thai the
ships named be sold and the proceeds
of the sale, about 100. 600, be Used
for the purchase Of a new super read
naught for the American navy An
agreement between the two houses on
the proposed sale is assured
Influences brought TO bear by the
administration resulted in the adep-
ton Of the amendment passed to-
day, although many Democrats voted
in the negative Last week when the
conference report on the naval APP
preparation bill came up in the house
strong opposition to the sale Of the
battleships was shown. An announce
