The police, it is stated, are proceed

out of something deeper, some long en-

have been the act Of an Oriental fa-

DEEPLY AFFLICTED.
ESQ. j. F. Brown Loses Daughter and
Son Within Ten Days.

The home of Esq }. F. Brown, two
miles south of Crab Orchard. has been
visited with a most crushing bereave-
ment within the past few weeks. in
the death of daughter and son.
The daughter, Miss Flossy. was 16
years of age. just budding into young
womaphood, much beloved by all who
knew her. Her pleasing manners had
wen for her a host of friends who
deeply regret her untimely taking
away. She was a victim of the Span.
ish influenza. that has proved fatal to
many thousands throughout the coun.
try. She was sick only one week and
passed away December Is.
On December Is they were again
called to mourn Q like loss in the death
of their son Charles. aged 81. He was
sick only q short time with the lntlu-
enza, which developed into pneumonia.
The young man was highly respected
for his quiet disposition. marked in
dustry and genial nature.
The deepest sympathy was manifest
ed by the people of Grab Orchard and
the nsishbors for the deeply bereaved
family and everything that sympathet-
10 eourtesy could suggest was done for
the sorrow stricken ones.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS.
Large Acreage Being 0piioned in This
Section for Development

A meeting was held at the land office
of A. J. Mcclure shortly before
Christmas looking to the securing Of
options on approximately 100. 0O00 acres
OF land to be converted into homes for
soldiers.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has advanced the idea that the govern
ment buy large acreages of cheap lands
throughout the south, divide it into
sizable ferns, build good roads and
make other important improvements
and then sell the farms to the soldiers
at cost on long time payments.
Governer-Elect A. H. Roberts and
Railroad Commissioner George WEIGH
are deeply interested in the movement
and have asked certain people in this
county to secure options on 100, 900
acres of undeveloped lands In this
county with the view to selling same
to the government for the soldier farm
project.
nI bCCtihS at tiC oibCC VI a. os
Mcclure, the feeling was unanimous
that the desired acreage could be Sc
cured readily and steps were taken
looking to that end.
A bill has been drafted and will be
presented to congress to provide the
necessary funos for the original pur-
chase. 1t is particularly stated that
no commissions are to be allowed to
any one the lands must be OPP ioDed at
the lowest price at which they will be
sold anG no commissions of any kind
will be permitted.
We learn that Railroad Commission
er Geo. Welch and relatives have sew
eral hundred acres of wild land that
they are willing to option to tne gov
ernment for this purpose.
Whether or not the project will be
carried out will depend on the passage
Of the act providing the funds and
what course congress will follow can.

bets Informed feel that the outlssk is

METHODIST SCHOOL
To Be Located in This Mountain Sec.
ton and This County Has Hopes
Of Securing Il.

For two or three years Rev. Robert
Hall, of the M. E. Church. south. has
been earnestly laboring for the location
Of Methodist school in this county.
The matter has now gone so far that
it 10 practically assured that the school
will be established. At the next Mid
Year meeting of the church dignitsr-
les, January Is and 16. the matter will
be definitely decided upon. Arrange
ments seem to have now advanced so
far that it is largely matter of pre-
liminaries only to declare that the
school shall be established.
One of the leading members of the
board has stated to Rev. Hall that the
scope of the school will be about as
follows: The idea is for school Civ
ing a regular High School curriculum
and in addition an Agricultural depart
ment with an Experiment Station.
Also de. artment of Mechanical Arts
and Domestic Science. The purpose is
to furnish board and tuition within
reach of poor pupils with possible
opportunity for boys and girls to work
their way through.
Just where the school will be located
has not as yet been determined and
the location will be governed largely
by the most favorable conditions offer
cd in the way of tract of land of
some 200 or 300 acres and such other
assistance as any community or county
may feel warranted in giving.
The construction of the buildings
alone will necessitate an outlay of
close to $40, ono and the maintenance
will mean a considerable expenditure
each year. Such school would not
only be source of much business to
any community while furnishing
most favor able oppor tunity for young
people of slimited means to sSu ure a
good education but, would be splen-
did business proposition for any coun-
ty or community.
1t Is the purpose of the church to
place competent and especially trained
in charge OF the school with
the view to making it second to no
school OF its scope in the south.
Rev. Hall and members of the
church board will doubtless present the
matter to eur people in concrete form
within the next few weeks and 1t will
be q wise thing for our people to exert q
lvery possible endeavor to secure the
location OF the school at some point in
his county.

governor. When the dollar shrinks In
value distributors are prone to say
that the price of automobiles, sewing

vice versa
It remained for an astute Cadillac
distributor Of the Middle West to
point out the faIlacy Of such talk
A few days ago farmer walked
into the salesroom OF this distributor,
who had sold him a Cadillac six years
ago. The farmer asked the price OF
the current model
'Whewr' said the farmer. You want
$500 more for this car than 7 paid
for the one ] bought in 1913. 1t will
cost me a carload Of steers"
This lead the distributor TO advance
an argument which gets back to 1un-
dameutals-
Yes, il viii cost you a carload or
steers" he said. Yet the new ear is
twice as good as the one you bought
six years ago; and after all II viii cost
YOU less than the 1913 model"
That's true, but your 1913 model
cost you a carload and half OF
steers" said the distributor.
Well. look at the high price OF the
corn I feed the steers" said the farmer
finally.
land that produced the corn that fat
tened your steers six years ago raised
your corn last season" was the final
argument BY the distributor.
