Death of Mrs. Ilar Glover.

Very sad indeed was the death OF
Mrs. Margaret Clever. wife OF DR..
liar Glover. which occurred at their
home near Protemus Monday, Jan. 4,
1918. at ~ o'clock, after an illness
of a few days only. Mr.. Glover's
death occurred under unfortunate
conditions. A little daughter. Mary
Emma, and son had both been sick.
The little girl was taken with ap-
pendicits. and DIR. Glover had started
with her to Memphis for an opera
tion. He had not gone far until sum-
moned home on account Of the serious
illness of his wife. She fingered
short time in that stricken home.
Mrs. Glover was the daughter of
Mr.. Frank Garrigan. Her name was
Margaret Elizabeth. She was mar
ried to DR.. Glover Dec. 10, 1907. She
was S3 years of age, survived by a
husband and four little children, the
oldest about nine, as follows: Vale,
Mary Emma. Louise and Van. She
leaves also three brothers and five
sisters, viz: Hugh, Will, Wallace,
Mrs. Mary Logan, Misses Ella, Allie,
Biddie and Lucy.
Mrs. Glover was member of the

NEWS NOTES


Peace negotiations between the
Central Powers and the BeIshevik
Government in Russia have been
Temporarily suspended by the Ger
mans. From the meaeer advices re-
ceived. it appears the rock upon
which a continuation of the pRATr
pariers split was the demand De
Russians that the conference Be re-
sumed at Stockholm, instead of Brest-
Litoysk. The decision of the Germans
to discontinue the sittings was ar
rived at during crown council held
in Berlin Saturday, which was at
tended by Field Marshal Won linden
burg and Gen. Won Ludendorff, First
Quartermaster General. A belated
dispatch from Berlin gives as the
reason for the refusal by the Germans
to consider Stockholm a place where
peace might be advantageously dis
cussed the fear that British, French
and American diplomats in the Swed-
ish capital would by intrigue make
all endeavors futile Dispatches from
Berlin indicate that although the
Reichstag parties in the main are
supporting the Government, consid-
cradle political unrest is prevalent
and that strong efforts are being
made to hold the Socialists in line.
The Socialist organ in Berlin char
acterizes the situation as extraordi-
narily serious.

10 the Quarterly County Court.

80 ~->--~ - ~ NS-ASJ 0SN~~e
Gentlemen: At the beginning OF
this year, find that we have ON
hand $2,699.21, and that our in
debtedness at this time amounts to
s35, 100000.
We have paid out during the past
year $49,5S1.11.
If you remember we had passed by
the Legislature a bill authoring the
County Court to lend out to the
highest bidder the county's money at
interest, which we did last year, and
realized the sum Of $1,36S.03, which
went into the general county fund;
and every tax payer was benefited
thereby.
Last April issued statement
that the county was out of debt, and
had $4,000 on hand. But at the
April term the Quarterly Court
bought and contracted for about
$4,000 bridges and levees, and au-
thorized the payment of Jail ac-
count of several thousand dollars,
which threw the county behind fl
nancially at the July term, and to
meet the demand and continue the
running expenses of the county, we
borrowed $4,000. Then it was
scattered like fire that / had issued
a false statement in regard to the
financial condition of the county. If
had not been a candidate for re-
election there would never have been
anything said about 1t. But the
money changers, not only this coun-
~ but the entire State, have been
working for several years to abolish
the Trustees office, and authorize all
county taxes to be collected by some
bank in each county, having failed
In that they endeavored at our last
Legislature to change our legal rate
OF interest from 8 to 5 per cent, and
having failed in that; having had the
counties money from time immemosi-
al without interest, they were
wrought up. hence false report that
they started that / had given out
false statement.
Now then, in 1909 the Legislature
Of this State enacted a drainage
law, which gave them power to dig
bitches, to reclaim wet land, and
wherever they cut the public high
ways that the county shall build all
necessary bridges, which has cost
this county up to the present time
between thirty-five and forty thou
sand dollars. Now this expense was
not left to the discretion of the court,
but mandatory, hence our present f.
nancial condition.
Gentlemen, when we came into
Office FIVE years ago the county was
in debt at that time about $4,000,
besides an escheat fund of four or
i've thousand dollars. and yet with
all that we have built at least $50, 900
worth of steel bridges, and $4,000
jail. And within sixty days from
this time all our Indebtedness will
have been paid, and we will have,
at least, $4,000 to run on the pres
ent year We have bought all the
steel bridges that will be required
for the present drainage bitches now
in construction, and by not building
any steel bridges in the present year,
think. you can get by without rails
ing the taxes or issuing bonds.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. r. KENNEY,
County Judge.

SECOND DRAFT IN SPRING?
Little Likelihood of Call Coming Before
Then, Anyway.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-There is
little likelihood of the second National
army being assembled before spring.
No date has been set for calling out
the second 100000 men and it probably
will be May before the call is issued.
Nevertheless every man placed in class
], as a result of the QUESTIONABLE re-
Gently issued, is being given his medi-
cal examination so that all men liable
to immediate military service will be
ready when the call comes The med
zeal examination of class | men has
been completed in some sections of the
country. The second National army
cannot be called out until after the first
Nationals have vacated the canton
ments IN which they are training The
date of the second cali depends on the
rapldity with which divisions now in
this country are sent overseas. A num-
Der of divisions Of the regular army and
National Guard are still in this coun-
try, and these divisions will go overseas
before the National army divisions
cross the Atlantic unless the war de-
partment changes its policy. IT is pos
yible that the National army division
soon viii he transferred from canton
mentS to the camps left vacant by Ma
tional Guard and regular army divi-
sions, but no authoritative announce
ment has been made to this effect. 1t
can only be said that the plan is being
given serious consideration If Nation
al divisions are ordered to leave the
environments, il may be possible TO as
semble the second National army be
fore May, but even this possibility is
questioned. Provost Marshal General
Crowder is ready to assemble the sec.
ond 100000 the instant he receives or
ders to do SO, but these orders cannot
be issued until accommodations can be
found for the men.
