SERIOUS CHARGE
IS MADE AGAINST
MAN OF GONZALEZ

Serious charges were preferred
against Ed. McMicken, white, by
Deputy Sheriff A. C. Diamond. at Con-
zalez, who, by the way, is one of the
sheriff's newest acquisitions. The de-
PENDANT named was brought to the
city and unable to make bond which
was fixed by the county judge.
McMicken was locked up in the coun-
ty Jail.
The specific allegation against Nc
Micken is that he represented himself
as a special agent fer the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railway Company, and
in such capacity is alleged to have
agreed in specific instance to furnish
fertilizer to farmers, requiring, how
ever, an advance payment of SCI for
2 1-2-ton shipment. One who is said
to have paid this amount to the de-
PENDANT is Riley Regain, living near
Gonzalez, and who, the warrant repre-
sents, had been reasonably assured b
the defendant named, that the fertl.-
izer would be delivered sometime in
January, when the balance would be
paid as agreed. When such was not
done, the matter was taken UP with
The headquarters of the furnishing
company whom McMicken is said to
have acted in the capacity of a repre-
sentative, and the company announced
In a communication that they had no
authorized representative in this sec
ton of the name quoted. Upon re

plays a dual role of two sisters who

Much interest is shown in the tests
and every scout is working hard.

of being the only first class scout

ism and preparedness were
twin brothers walking hand
in hand.
And today, when we pause
to consider, we see results
that are both startling and
astounding.
We cannot help calling to
mind, and to your attention,
that it takes preparedness to
combat with things that
have to do with our every
day civilian life, just as it
does to- meet the enemy on
the battlefield.
