CITY employees .
ASK INCREASE
CITY EMPLOYEES IN WATER
WORKS DEPARTMENT ASK FOR
INCREASE OF SALARlEs-MAT-
TER WILL BE DISCUSSED IN
PREPARATION OF BUDGET.

City employees in the water works
department have asked Commissioned
Blakemore for an increase of salaries
as they state they cannot contend
with the present high rate of living
on their present incomes.
Mr.. BIakemore brought the matter
up at the regular session of the CITY
commission this morning. Commits
sloner Stern moved the water works
commission be requested to present a
list of the existing salaries of all EN- :
ployes in his department at the next
meeting of the commission so as to
determine upon the ratio of increase.
Superintendent Ayliffe and one other
employe of the department at the
filtration plant have been increased
recently, and it is felt the others
should be the same in proportion.
Mr.. Blakemore proposed that the
matter be presented to the commission
so as to make it effective with the
passage Of the next budget ordinance,
which Is in September. This was
agreeable to all the members Of the
commission. g..
Manager Clark of A. L. Moody's an
peared before the commission asking
permission to build a show window
on the west side of the Moody building
along Broadway which leads down to
the auditorium and Island park. The
proposition was to extend the window
two feet. The commissioners referred
Mr.. Clark to the city engineer to de-
termine the property line.
Mrs. Probert of Minneapolis, owner
or certain Fargo property, appeared
before the board regarding certain
sewer assessments levied against her
here, which she had failed to
see / nthe local papers owing tn her
residence in another city. The mat
ter was ~agreeably adjusted.

VICTIM OF TYPHOID FEVER

Mrs. Clarence Warner died at the
home of her father-in-la Mr.. X. r..
Warner, Monday morning of typhoid
fever after an illness of several
weeks.
Mrs. Warner before her marriage
was Miss Nettie Smith, daughter of
Mr.. E. W. Smith, of this city. She
was a young woman of lovely Chris
tan character and her death was
quite a shock to her friends. She is
survived by her father, Mr.. E. W.
Smith and one sister, Mrs. Arthur
Fitzpatrick, her husband and two
small children besides other rela-
tives. We extend our sympathy
to the stricken family.

The wrestling match between Jack
Stone and Ed. Shultz at the Tabb
Opera House Thursday afternoon
was witnessed by q small crowd.
Stone won the match in straight
falls. The winner, Stone was billed
to wrestle Demetral, the Greek,
Thursday night and after winning
one fall was thrown the next two.
This is the first time Stone has lost
a match in this city by legitimate
holds, the match he lost to Lewis be-
ing lost with the strangle hold which
is barred in regular contests. Stone
claimed that the match Of the after
noon took too much out Of him but
it was the concensus of opinion that
the Greek was the better man. A
match between the Greek and Hus-
sane, the Turk, should attract a
large crowd.

VOTE OF COURT
is UNANIMOUS
In Confirming Selection of Mr.. W. r.
Crooks As Our Next County
Road Engineer.

AT the regular December meeting
of the Fiscal Court, held yesterday,
at which all members we're present,
Mr.. W. F. Crooks presented his GER
tificate of qualification from the
State Commissioner Of Public Roads,
as required by law and his selection
as County Road Engineer Of Mont
gomery County was unanimously
confirmed by the court. He succeeds
Mr.. Jno. S. Wyatt, whom the court
thanked for his uniform courtesy to
all members during his term Of Of
fee. Immediately Mr.. Crooks quail
fed by executing bond and taking
the oath of Office and entered upon
the discharge of his duties.
When seen by the representative of
the Advocate Mr.. Crooks said: GIN
accepting the Office of County Road
Engineer I fully appreciate the fact
that cannot make all our turnpikes
model highways, with the limited
funds available for the purpose, un-
der the present system of taxation
and no one at all conversant with
the cost of such improvements will
expect this, yet my selection having
been confirmed by the unanimous
vote of the court, without a single
promise from me to any one, direct
ly or indirectly, (other than that I
would do my full duty to the best Of
my abiity,) I feel, with the aid of
the State Department of Public
Roads, that 1 can make a creditable
showing in the Office and in my eff
forts to do this / ask the co-opera-
ton of every taxpayer Of Montgom-
cry County"

RAIN BRINGS
HAPPINESS
Farmers Feel Greatly Encouraged
and Better Times are Now
Predicted.

JOY reigns today in the homes of
hundreds of farmers Of Montgomery
and surrounding tobacco raising
counties. Rain started Saturday
night and continued practically all
day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
This is the first rain of any conse-
quence for several weeks and the
first opportunity the farmers have
had to strip their tobacco which was
very dry and took some time to come
in case, however, Monday everybody
was busy bulking down and strip
ping.
The first sale of the season will be
held at the Farmers House Satur-
day.
This is the first year that the
loose leaf houses will operate under
the new law, which requires a re-
cord of each sale, the amount sold
and the price paid to be posted
each day following a sale. The gen.
eral average must also be posted.
Buyers have already been assigned
to this CITY. The opening of the
warehouses will be Of great benefit
not only to the farmer but to the
merchant as well, both of whom have
been complaining of hard times for
several weeks,

QUARANTINE LIFTED IN ~
N0N-INFECTED COUNTIES

Fat cattle from twenty seven non
infected counties in Kentucky will
be open to shipment not later than
Wednesday to other States for i'm
mediate slaughter, following an in
spection by the United States Govern
ment authorities. 1t is estimated
that in the twenty-seven counties
released from the Federal embargo
100000 worth of fat cattle
are awaiting shipment, being held on
feed by the farmers at great expense.
Great credit is due to the work
done by DR.. Joseph H. Kastle, direc-
tor of the Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton, and DR.. Robert Graham, in
charge of the Department of Veteri-
nary Science, who have been actively
at work in urging that conditions in
Central Kentucky and other portions
of the State warrant the belief that
no danger would ensue in shipping
fat cattle to the big market centers
for immediate slaughter, after being
thoroughly inspected. DR.. Kastle di-
rected letters to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington and to the
State Department of Agriculture at
Frankfort and enlisted the support of
Senators James and Camden.
