GROWTH OF THE
 AUTO INDUSTRY
 MAKES THIEVES

With fhe growth of the auton obile industry, there has also developed to an alarming extent the automobile thief. These thieves infest every sec ton of the country and are particu- larly active in the larger cities. Every day the police headquarters of the various cities are confronted with a largo number of stolen car reports.
 The automobile thieves repaint and disguise the cars in such a way that the owner cannot recognize his own machine. But the various parts of the car have factory numbers, and It Is by these numbers that the stolen cars are identified beacuse new parts can be obtained only at a dealers service ration or at the factory.

Among other ways In which to
reduce. the high cost Of living is
the channel dredging work in .he
Mississippi, Ohio end Missouri
rivers. according 10 the Mississippi
Valley Waterways association.
which in a letter to Mayor Harry
n. Schriver today urges that munlc-
ipal officials and all civic organiza-
tions support the Newton bill now
before congress, which provides
that the channel work shall be
completed within three years.
The letter Is signed by Thomas
H. Lovelace. secretary Of the asso-
ciation, and sets forth that cod
gresS approved and adopted the
specifications for river dredging in
1910 and stipulated that the work
should be completed within 10
yeArs..
However, Mr.. Lovelacs announces
that the l0-year period has now al
most expired and the dfedgiEs
work is only from one third to one.
half completed.
The Newton bill provides that
the work shall be given . new Inn

tn three years, and the Mississippi
Valley Waterways association has
pledged itself to, work ceaselessly
70 obtain further appropriations
with which to begin dredging work
IN tributaries OF the Mississippi.
Ohio and Missouri rivers 30 that
these tributaries can be opened to
hosts by the time the main trunk
line waterways are in operation, to
b known - the main trunk line

The letter sets forth that dredg-
ing work in the tributaries Is In
evitable, and that the sooner this
work is taken up and completed the
sooner larger benefits can BE- OBJ
tanned from the main trunk line.
Work New Under Way.
The projects that compose the
main trunk line are the dredging
OF q 9-foot channel in the Ohio
river from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Q

S-foot channel in the Mississippi
river from the mouth Of the Ohio

the Missouri river from its mouth
to Kansas City. The Newton bill
provides that these projects be CON-
pleted within three more years, ANA

TRAINS RESUME
REGULAR RUNS

With the settlement of the coal
strike, that has been in progress for
the past month and half, all trains
were ordered to resume regular sche-
dulles last Tuesday, and as a result
Carthage now has the two usual
trains daily to and from Nashville,
on the old schedule
Since the strike was called off prac-
tically all the miners throughout the
country have gone to digging coal
again and the fuel restrictions, which
prohibited stores and other establish
naents to conduct business during GER
tain hours, have been called off. While
the fuel situation is yet critical, it is
believed that the miners will produce
enough coal to stay the coal shortage
tide and business will be permitted to
continue its operations from now on.
However, the people are urged to eco
noTnize in the use Of coal.

CARTHAGE BAPTISTS
GO OVER THE TOP

In the seventy-five million dollar
campaign started by the Baptists
some weeks ago the Carthage Baptist
church was assessed with $4,000 as its
quota. The allotment was readily sub
scribed by the members of the church
here, and $1,000 of the $4,000 was Ia
ken care of by the ladies Of the
church.
The Carthage Baptist church is a
strong and aggressive congregation
and it was nothing more than expect
ed that the members oversubscrbe
their quota Of the campaign amount.
The church, which has been without
pastor for some months, has called
Rev. T. Wiley Davis of Covington,
Tenn, and he will move to Carthage
about the first Of the year and assume
his PASTORAL duties.
News comes from the country at
large that the SIS, 0OO, 600 the Baptists
were asking for has been oversub-
Scribed. This amount Will be used for
home missions, foreign missions, aid
to WORKOUT ministers, assistance to
weak churches and for general recon

BARBER SHOP
CHANGES PLACE

John Petite, Aaron Fuqua and Ro-
bert Gwynn, BARRIERS, have moved
their place OF business from the Cur
tbs building to the basenInt under
Read Bros. drug store. This place has
been especially arranged for a barber
shop and equipped with hot and cold
water, shower baths and other con-
veniences, and the BARRIERS are in
position to give quick work of all
kinds, using electrical Instruments in
cutting hair and giving electrical mas
sages when desired.
Some years ago, Mr.. Petty of this
firm, began the barber business on
the second floor of the brick building
now occupned by E. E. Turner and he
has barbered in number of buildings
since, making two moves ON account
of fire destroying the buildings which
he occupied. His business steadily in
creased until, in 1916, he took in Mr..
Aaron Fuqua as partner. In May of
1919, they employed Mr.. Robert
Gwynn, and now all three are enjoying
big barber business and have large
number Of regular customers who
speak complimentary Of their work.
1t is pleasing to their friends and an
addition to the town that these men
have equipped such modern and up
to-date barber shop and bath room.
