KENO HAS FIRST REAL SUMMER,
Bathing Beaches Have Great Increase
in Patronage as Mercury Jumps to
95 on Sunday.

Kenosha had its first real touch of
summer on Sunday when the mercury
went up to 95 before ten 0 clock Sun
day morning and the hot weather pre-
vailed during the greater part of the
day. Once during the morning the
wind shift led to the northeast and drove
the mercury down several degrees, but
Old Sol was on the job most of the day.
Every one who had an automobile was
out looking for the cooling breezes.
Eichelman park and other lake shore
parks took on midsummer appearances
and hundreds of people sought relief
from the heat by going to the parks.
The bathing beaches showed the first
real activity of the summer and hun
dreds of people took plunges in the
lake during the day.
The weather man admitted today
that he had made a mistake in fore
casting Sundays weather. He is pre-
dieting reasonably fair weather for
Tuesday and there may be some more
high temperatures Out west Of Keno
sha on Sunday morning there was a
very heavy rainfall, in some places. the
rain was so heavy as to leave the roads
in almost impossible condition.

The Late George Yule Hon

of Which He Was
Member.
THE REV. |. W. COREY SPEAKS


" |NThen Abraham gave up the. ghost
and died in a good old age, an old man,
and full of years and was gathered to
his people, Genesis, 25, s, was the
text upon which the Rev. /. w. Corey,
pastor Of the Baptist church, preached
his memorial sermon for the late George
Yule at memorial services held III the
church Sunday morning.
A memorial tablet was unveiled by
ST.. Deacon Henry G. Dodge in the pres.
ence Of large audience composed of
relatives and friends of Mr.. Yule.
The happy. contamination of a good
old age is to be gathered to one S peo-
pie, = said Mr.. Corey. ''This was true
of our beloved George Yule.
His Beloved Friend.
To me he was friend, brother, ia
ther He was the first to welcome me
to this church, this city and to his home.
He was the first man with whom I talk
ed in Kenosha. Out of a full heart I
speak Of him whom I love, whom you
love, whom all loved who knew him.
His life was full of incident, be-
ginning in Scotland where he was born
August 81, 1924. He came to this coun-
try at the age of 16 in 1910. In Ke-
nosha he grew to be man and went
among men and obtained honorable and
enviable distinction as a business man.
By the manifestation Of the truth he
commended himself to every man s CON
science in the sight of God.
For years a man of large fortune
and of heart as large as his fortune, ne
was princely entertainer, whose home
was the home of God s ministers; whose
door was always wide open; whose
heart and arms were always open to
welcome Gods people as his brothers
and sisters. With a princely gener-
osity he dispensed his hospitality as the
steward of Christ.
"Such a man will live in memory.
His influence will be felt for good for
generations to come.

not believe George Yule was almost
ninety-two years Of age. For ninety one
years he had been pilgrim-and what

WH|TTHORNE WON'T
MAKE A CONTEST
FOR THE OFFICE
MAURY CoUNTlAN SAYS, HOW
EVER, THAT HE WAS CLEAR
LY ELECTED.
WITT WILL Be SATISFACTORY
If He Accepts And Serves On The
State Commute Being Good Man
And Good emocrat-statement to
The Public.

! In a statement given to The Herald
Hon. w. G. Whitthorne, elected a mem
Der of the state democratic committee
from the Seventh district but de
prived of his election through the fail
ure of the tellers to properly record
the vote, declares that he has no in
tention of making any contest. Mr.
Whitthorne says that he knows that
he was elected and gives in detail the
vote to prove that fact, but If, under
the circumstances, Mr.. Witt of Giles,
should accept the place there will be
no objection. Mr. Whitthorne says
that Mr.. Witt is good man and a
democrat and he believes that the
party interests will be safe in his
hands.
The following is the statement of
Mr.. Whitthorne:
ITO The Editor of The Herald:
"Inasmuch as your paper in its issue
Of May 18th, 1916, had something to
say to the effect that | was elected o
member of the democratic state execu-
tive committee on last Wednesday, I
desire to say that am not expecting
to raise any question about this mat
ter, but l shall be entirely satisfied to
let the matter go. 1t is true, however,
that | received enough votes to elect
me, and it was only because the votes
were not counted as cast that | was
declared defeated. | do not charge
that this miscount was wilful or cor
rupt upon the part of the secretary or
tellers, but it was simply a mistake
made by mere inadvertance. l re-
ceived the following votes Dickson
II, Houston 6, Humphreys 10, Law
renee 71s, Lewis 4, Maury % and
Wayne 4, making total of TAN votes,
when tax were sufficient to elect.
"The mistake made was that Hum
phreys county's IL votes which were
cast for me were inadvertently count
ed for Mr.. Witt of Giles county. I
suppose everybody will concede that
Mr. Larkin cast them for me.
But. after all, Mr.. Witt Is a man
whom I have known for years. He is
a good democrat and good man, and
II he will serve as committeeman,
am entirely satisfied, for so far as he
is concerned the party's affairs will be
in good hands.
Yours truly,
"W. C. WHITTHORNE."

Man CHARGED WITH
FORGERY. ARRESTED
BY LOCAL OFFICERS
WAS CARRIED TO LAWRENCE
BURG TO ANSWER CHARGE OF
BEATING BOARD BILL.
FORGED CHECK IN COLUMBIA
When Searched, Several Other Check,
And Notes of Different Amounts
Were Found on Him-WiII Answ.,
Charge Here.

Sheriff Griffin and Special Officer
Rigsby made an important catch
Thursday afternoon when John KittreI,
was taken into custody, charged with
beating a hoard bill at Ethridge, Tenn
and forging check at the union sta.
ton at Columbia.
Officer Rigsby received a telegram
Thursday afternoon from the sheriff
at Lawrenceburg, saying that Kittrell
was on his way to Columbia and that
he had deputy sheriff on his trail
but to arrest Kittrell on his arrival
and hold him until further notice. Kit.
trell managed to land at the station
and get check of $3.50 cashed by a
Mr.. Strickland, Lawrence county
man who had seen Kittrell at Ethridgs
several times, but did not know bis
name. In short while afterwards,
Kittrell was located by Officer RigSby
and placed under arrest.
The gentleman who had cashed the
check became suspicious and wired
Lawrenceburg in regard to the account
of whom it was signed. On learning
that there was no such account on the
books, he hurried to the court house
in company with Officer Rigsby, and
swore out warrant for Kittrell, charg.
ing him with forgery. Sheriff Griffin
accompanied the gentlemen back to
the station and Kittrell, who was then
in charge of the deputy from Law.
was taken into the private
office of Mr.. Rigsby, where he was
searched. Several other checks were
found on his person, among which, one
was for the amount of $40 and one for
$40. Several notes on people in Shelf
field, were also found. 1t has since
been learned that he has tried to OBJ
tain money on these notes on several
different occasions.
Kittrell was taken to Lawrenceburg
to answer the former charge, after
which he will be brought to Columbia
to answer the charge of forgery.

TWO ARRESTED FOR
SELLING LIQUOR
OFFICERS CHARGE THAT THE UN.
LAWFUL BUSINESS HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR SOMETIME.

Proctor Terry and Gertrude Childers,
both colored, were arrested Sunday
afternoon by officers Griffin and Nc
Lean, under the charge of selling IL
Quor without license.
The officers have suspected the two
negroes of transacting this unlawful
business for sometime and have
worked faithfully in securing evidence
to warrant their arrest. They believe
that at last they have good case and
are confident of producing evidence
that will convict them on this charge.
This makes the second case against
the negro woman. The officers charge
that Terry has been selling liquor
under the employ of the Childers wo-
man and that the business has been
carried on in vaughan's Alley, where
the woman resides.
The two waived examination and
were bound over to the grand jury.

ing is hard work, and man ought to
have plenty of good substantial food to
keep going. But raw eggs was just
about all that could eat, for my stom-
ach was in such bad shape it couldn't
stand much of anything. If did eat
much would have to pay for it after
wards. The pit OF my stomach was
as sore as boil and at times would
almost choke with gas on my stomach

but none of it did me any good until |
got hold of Tanlac. l began taking 1t
and felt better from the first three or
four doses. My appetite picked up
and l began to eat things I hadn't
touched in months and everything tast-
ed good and agreed with me.
