"WHEN JUSTICE SLEEPS"
The Theme
Wherein is told of a man who
stained his honor for his love, and
of a woman who didn't care. Also of
bad man who was better than most
of us and what it brought him. All
neatly strung together on a rope of
pearls and bound with a rope of
hemp.
The Story
A young man with a future meets
a young girl blessed with straight
features and an enormous appetite
for the good things of life. They get
married and are one of the few cou-
pies in this world who do not Tive

her love and she to wreck his credit.
He can't keep her love without losing
his honor, so chooses to lose his hon

the bank in which he is cashier, risks
it on long shot in horse race-and

examiners are coming in the morning
and the borrowed money must be
returned to the locked vault before

GLEASON GLEANINGS
Seed Corn Show at Gleason.

The Better Seed Corn show,
given under the auspices Of the
Bank of Gleason last. SATURDAY.,
accomplished a result that will be
everlasting. The very progress
sive cashier of the bank, DR..
Bandy, deserves to be commeded
in the highest terms for starting
a move of such nature. Fifty
nine ten.ear exhibits were entered
and over one hundred fifty peo-
pie viewed the collection OF well
selected seed and listened to two
very interesting and instructive
lectures on "The Selection of and
Improvement Of Seed Corn" by
Chairman Allen Sharp and Fed
eral Agent Nichols. This vast
collection OF corn brought IN was
a close second to the excellent
corn club exhibit viewed at the
late county fair; and the uniform
exhibits, complying to ideal types,
showed that much good judgment
and broad ideas are being exer-
cised in the selection Of seed corn
this fall.
Farmers report that more care
full selection of seed corn has been
done this fall than ever before
which will bear fruit for years to
come.
Mr.. Robert Fowler won $500
for the best ten ears; Avis Law

MT. ZION AND HILLTOP

Mr.. Lee Finch's baby boy,
Eugene, has been right sick fol-
some time, but is improving.
Mr.. Ola Capps and family will
move some time in the near
future to the forkstof the Obion
river, on Miss Temesia Swaim's
land. We regret to lose this
good family from our midst and
wish for them health and pros
perity in their new home.
Mr.. Robert Phillips has been
suffering for several days with a
carbuncle on his hand.
Quite a number of our people
attended the corn exhibit at
Gleason, Saturday afternoon. At
ter the corn was graded we were
invited to the opera hall, where
we listened to some agricultural
speeches. That whole-souled, hap
py, go-lucky, good farmer, Allen
Sharp, was present and made a
good talk on seed selection and
up-to-date method Of raising corn.
Without a doubt Allen Sharp is
the wide-awake mogul farmer of
the Ninth district. He was
followed by Mr.. Nichols, Of the
University of Tennessee, who
pleaded with farmers to take more
pains and pride in the selection
of seed corn and better method OF
farming in general. | will not
hesitate in saying that DR.. Bandy
deserves much credit for putting
on this exhibition which we be-
lieve will create more interest
and determination in the minds
OF the farmers to excel all past
efforts by raising more corn and
a better grade in the future.
This can be done by better seed
selection and thorough prepare
ton and cultivation.

OF having two teachers, Messrs.

enter school at Mckenzie soon
and we have no assistant, and

to manage the school alone, With
the increased attendance this
winter means that the teacher
will be swamped with work and
the school a failure, let the teach.

In Memory Of a Mother.

Lola MAY cunningham tnee
McClain) was born January Is,
1877; died Nov. 5, 1915; age
thirty-eight years, nine months
and twenty days. She was mar
ried to James Cunningham about
sixteen years ago, and protested
a hope in Christ and united with
the Methodist church at Pisgah
in 1905, in which she lived a
devoted christian until some few
months ago, when she moved her
membership to Gleason, near her
home. She was thoroughly de-
voted to her church, her family
and her God. She was a good
woman in every respect, spoken
we'll OF by all who knew her, and
was kind and obliging to her
neighbors, ever ready and willing
to sacrifice for any good cause;
was loyed and admired for her
many noble traits of character.
She was no respector OF persons,
but loved all and treated every
body right.
In her death the dear husband
loses his dearest and truest
friend, the sweet little children a
loving and devoted mother, the
church a faithful member and the
community and relatives a friend
and helper. Our hearts 90 out
in sympathy to the bereaved and
devoted husband and little chill
dren. Lola suffered SO much
here, but her suffering is over.
All that loving hands and faith.
full doctors could do was done, but
Jesus said its enough, come home.
Dear Lola, you have finished
your work, you have fought a
good fight, you have kept the
faith, enter into the joys Of thy
Lord.
Her remains were brought to
Oak Hill, Saturday afternoon and
after funeral services by her
pastor, Bro. Holly, were laid to
rest by loving, sympathizing
frirnds. Many were the beauti-
ful flowers that covered her last
resting place, a token Of our love
and appreciation Of having been
associated with one so pure and
good. Oh, Lord, help us all to
live as she lived.

LIMIT PLACED ON
 MONEY ORDERS TO U. s.

London, November 1.-The money order department of the postoffice has issued circular advising the public that here after no individual or firm will be per- mitted to send more than $500 weekly to any one person or firm in the United States
 During the recent period of demoraliza ton in the exchange market money order exchange has been at much the most favorable rate for forwarding money to America, as compared with the other channels of financial exchange. The cir eular calls attention to the fact that many persons and firms have been dis patching several thousand pounds weekly to the United States in the form of pos tai money orders, which. according to the department. are not intended for the purpose of facilitating commercial ex- changes of this magnitude.
 It is known that many British firms with branches in America have taken advantage of the favorable postal rate to dispatch money for salaries and other expenses of their American offices. It is also believed shrewd exchange specula- tors have made profits by drawing checks or New York accounts and covering the amounts drawn by dispatching postal or derS

Anniston, November 4.-(Special) After working, with but little success, since last Saturday night, on the mys- tery of the murder of J. G.

 We have made but little progress on the Hamilton murder mystery until last night said Chief Phillips Wednes- day afternoon, but I feel sure that we are now on the right track and that within a few hours will have the guilty party The murder has been quite a baffling one, and the fact that there were no people near the plant at the time the murder occurred makes it all the more difficult"
 Hamilton's body was found Saturday might. At first it was thought that death was due to heart failure, but an in- westigation by Coroner Murphy re- wealed the fact that Hanilton's neck had been broken just below the base of the skull. Four negroes are now un- der arrest. It is known that Hamilton recently spanked the son of one of the negroes arrested and either revenge or robbery is the motive upon which the police are working.

COUNTY JAILS IN
 BAD CONDITION
But Three of Eight Inspected by Dr. Oates Meet With His
 Approval

Montgomery November 4.-(Special) Three out of eight county jails inspected last week by Dr. W. H. Oates of the state prison inspection department were found to be in good condition, two of the prisons were found to be in a very bad condition, and three were pronounced in bad condition in reports submitted to Governor Henderson today by the prison inspector
 All of the jails inspected were in north Alabama. The county jails of Lauder dale Colbert and Walker were found by pr. Oates in good condition. The jails of Winston and Madison were severely criticized by the inspector, having been found in very bad condition. The jail at Vernon, in Lamar county, was declared to be fair, while Franklin and Marion counties were rated in bad condition with reference to their jails.
 Numerous recommendations were made by Dr. Oates with reference to the jails not found in good condition. Copies of the inspectors reports to the governor were sent to the court of county com missioners of the several counties in which jails were inspected.
