Tennessee has been asked by the
government to give 532 doctors to
the army and up to a short time ago
307 Of that number had been pass
ed, leaving 225 to be supplied. The
State Medical Board of Defense met
in Jackson last Sunday and Mon
day, and with State Chairman DR..
H. H. Shoulders presiding. and the
meeting was attended by DR.. Sam
7. Parker, who is one of the eight
eligible doctors Of this county for
army service.
The remainder Of the doctors
wanted from Tennessee must come
from the smaller towns and rural
sections, as Nashville and Memphis
have already supplied their full
proportion --160. The Henderson
county doctors under go years of
age, graduates and hence eligible to
army service, if they can pass, are
Drs. W. F. Huntsman, G. A. Bran
don, S. 7. Parker and C. H. John
ston, Lexington; Drs. Bolen and
Howell, Wildersville; DR.. Wylie,
Scots Hill; DR.. J. F. Goff, Chester

Last Call For Over
due R. c. Money.

Gen. S. T. Carnes, at Memphis,
Representative for Tennessee of the
American Red Cross War Finance
Committee. under date of Nov. IL,
communicated with all collectors of
funds subscribed to the Red Cross
the fact that the War Council had
given but ONE MORE WEEK to
clean up completely all outstanding
pledges to the $10O,OOO,OOO Red
Cross War fund.
In view of the fact that the last
payment on these pledges was due
October 1st, we are informed the
money MUST BE GOTTEN IN and
that AT ONCE. Those who have
not paid are warned that they must
do SO and that without more delay,
as the limit allowed by the War
Council at Washington expires with
this week.
take this method of attempting
to reach those who are delinquent
and to whom notices of amounts
remaining due have been mailed.
All balance due on pledges must be
paid to me.
Respectfully,
W. v. BARRY,
Local R. C. Sec.- Treas.

Would Be Glad To
PIease--But Cant.

While we think those who sub.
scribed to the Y. M. c. A. War
War Work Fund are altogether wor-
thy of having their names appear
in print, we regret that it is impos-
sile to do so because so many gave
so little that the length of the list
would overtax our limited space.
AS local secretary-treasurer. we
thank all who contributed and
trust that they have sufficiently ac-
quired the Divine gift of giving to
enable the next Y. M. c. A. or Red
Cross campaign to reach Its goal on
the simple statement that the mon
ey is needed for such noble causes.
God loves cheerful giver -and in
their hearts everybody despises a
stiney man.

The people in the rural districts
of the county are doing more to

than they have ever done for any

not excepted in this section. In
fact, the country people are coming
to realize that in patriotic, as well
as other movements, there is no
line between the town and the
country. Hereafter the people in
the towns and the rural districts
should join hands, hearts and pock-
ct books in all movements for the
welfare of the whole people.

Stands Good Chance To Return To

Month Ago

Charles ("Hey Boy") Lyman once
more adorns the dark cell of the city
prison for the same offense for which
he went to the workhouse one month
ago-that of using vulgar language in
the presence of female persons.
Lyman was released from the work
house at Dayton several days ago af-
ter serving a sentence of 30 days. He
now stands an excellent chance of
again taking up his residence there.
While in a drunken condition, Ly-
man was found by officer James Tay-
lor on South Main street about II
o'clock Monday morning, denouncing
in vulgar terms anybody and every
body who came near him. officer
Taylor attempted to arrest him, but
the drunken man refused to go with
the officer of the law, calling him
abominable names and speaking of
all city officials in terms that were
not very flattering.
Finally, using little force by way
of persuasion, Officer Taylor was sue
cessful in leading Lyman to the city
prison to await his arraignment
which will take place when he be-
comes sober.

Consolidation Of City, Village and
County Governments Sought.
Columbus, Jan. 29.--The Civic
league of Cleveland will attempt to
have submitted to vote in November
a proposal calling for the consolida,
ton Of the city, county and other
n governments into one central
rnment in the more populous
ra" ties of the state. The object is
TO secure greater economy and eff
flciency in public affairs. Attention
of the legislators is called TO the fact
that in the larger counties there has
been a rapid increase in the number
OF separate governmental units and
taxing authorities. Cities, villages
and school districts have developed
in great numbers about the rim Of
the larger cities until there is cou-
fusion of authority, absence of direct
responsibility in administration and
a great waste of public funds. chiefly
because of this lack Of coordination

Mr.. Whistler went to greet her.
Mr.. Whistler" she said, two years
ago | bought one of your pictures,

able to hang 1t on my walls. 1t has
been loaned to one exhibition or an
other. Now, today have my carriage
with me, and would like to take it
home with me- | am told 1t is in your
possession"
Dear lady" returned Whistler, you
ask the impossible, will send it to
you when | have it again, but 1t is not
here, You have been misinformed."
And the lady drove of without her
picture.
After she had departed Whistler
commenced to poke around his studio
