This receivership marks the
collapse of the most ambitious

stockholders in Kentucky and
Tennessee and adjoining states,
who have paid in 1876, 1000. Of
this the promoters, Stanley

ham, Of Kansas City, got $l7S-
600 as their share. There are
Sl36, 900 held OF good mortgage
loans and the remainder has been
spent for expenses since the pro.
moters left here several months
ago. Z
The intention was to lend mon
ey on farms at low rate of inter-
est on long terms. When FORM
er Governor James B. McCreary
left office he was made president
at $4,000 a year. and other lead
ing men were made officers at
large salaries. McCreary and
some others resigned shortly af-
ter the Tsnnesseean filed his suit
for receivers.
Offices were secured in the
city's largest building, and until
recently matters were apparent
ly on a highly prosperous basis.
Claude Mercer. an attorney for
the receivership, stated tonight
that agents of the promoters had
misrepresented matters.

IN MEMORY

Little Mary Evelyn. daughte of
J. A. and Rebecca Ford was born
May 8, 1911, and she departed
this life May 81, 1916. She was
five years and twenty two days
Of age.
Evelyn was an exceptionally
bright little girl, she had a sunny
disposition and was loved by all
who knew her. She was not
only the pet Of family, but Of the
neighbors. and her death is
mourned by all who knew her.
This beautiful bud was pluck
ed just when il was ready to
bloom and give off its sweet fra
GRANGE. Her death has left a
vacant place in the home that
can never be filled. Her tsys
and dolls have been carefully put
away by loving hands, and will
be cherished by they that loved
Evelyn most.
Her family and friends are
poorer by her death, but Heaven
is richer. Every care was given
during her long illness that could
add to her comfort. She bore
her Affections with fortitude and
patience, and made brave fight
for recovery, but the grim reap
er with his sharp scythe clipped
the brittle thread Of life and her
spirit was waited away on the
wings of love to God, who gave
il; and. her precious little body
was borne with loving hands to
the silent city of the dead, there
to remain until the general res.
direction.
Weep not family and friends,
but be consoled with the thought
that Evelyn is basking in the
sun.beams of Gods love. May
Heavens richest blessings be
the portion Of all who loved her
