Tribute
to Hero's Memory

The memorial service in honor OF
Walter bePere, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob LePere, of this city, which was
held at the M. e. Church, South, Sum
day afternoon, proved to be q MEM
orable occasion in the affairs OF this
city. The great ontpouring OF peo-
pie to that service was a splendid
testimonial to the standing and worth
of that exemplary young man, who
was loved by all who knew him. The
many present fully realized that they
had gathered to do honor to the MEM
ory Of true hero.
The services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. o. H. Duggins, who gave
most interesting and minute account
of the career of Walter LePere from
the time he enlisted in the Marine SER
vice, at Port Royal, s. c., with his two
brothers, Jack and Oscar, on May 18th,
| 1917, until his death on Oct. 9th, 1918.
4 The three brothers enlisted in the Ma.
rines, but Walter was soon separated
from his brothers by being assigned to
the 18th Co. of the Sixth Marines,
which was soon in the thick of the
fighting, and where 1t remained until
victory was won.
His Company sailed for France the
latter part Of September, 1917, and
saw its first fighting in the Toulon
sector, following which it soon took a
prominent part in the brilliant and
now historic engagements at Chau-
TERRY and Bealleau Wood, where, by
his marked valor Walter won a French
War Cross, as well as Distinguished
Service Cross from his own country
and was several times cited for brav'
cry. He was also active in the fight
ing in the Mihiel sector, where the
Germans were again badly beaten. II
an engagement here he was slight,
wounded, and was ordered to the real
to have his wound dressed. But i
was Walters sole purpose to do ev
| erything in his power to aid in turn
ing the German horde in retreat, ant
on his way to the rear he decided hi
wound was not sufficient to cause hi
/ retirement from fighting.
/ He therefore inquired of dough
boy the location of certain regiment

tancc away. On entering the cabil

Well Known Boarding House Injured
BY Fire and BOardsrs Lose
Belongings. ~

Thursday afternoon abort $50
o'clock the handsome three-story
brick house of Mr.. Lowe Johnson, Oh
the corner of Main and Second Sts.,
was destroyed. by fire. For several
years the place had been used as a
boarding house and was run by Mr..
Johnson's daughter, Mrs. w. A. Cor
nett. 1t was known to everyone as
"Johnson's Court"
The fire broke out on the third
floor, apparently from defective light
wiring and had gained considerable
Roadway before it was discovered.
Everyone was at supper and the
blaze was discovered only when the
janitor attempted to reach the third
story. At the time it was first no
ticed the whole attic was burning,
but due to the tin roofing it had not
been noticed from the outside. The
whole third floor was destroyed as
the ceiling caved i'll almost as soon
as the fire department arrived.
Nothing on this floor was saved.
The rooms were occupied by George
Herndon, Robert Brumfeld and P. r.
FIemming. The furniture on the Sec
ond floor was considerably damaged.
The plastering of the whole building
was destroyed by water.
The loss of the building was COW
cred sufficiently by insurance but
the clothing and other belongings of
the boarders will be total loss.
The "Court" has been one of Hop
kinsville's most favorably known
boarding houses. All the boarders
had been with Mrs. Cornett for sew
eral years and it was more like big
family than a boarding house. This
fact is we'll known and all of the
boys who have been away to the ar
my called it home and considered Mr..
and Mrs. Corvette in the light Of par
ents.
The house will be rebuilt at once
and will be ready for use by the mid
die of the summer.

DIRECT ROUTE TO
'GRACEY CHOSEN
BY County Road Commission In Con-
test Over The Grassy-
cadiz Road.

The controversy over the road that
should be inter-county seat highway
between the negro church just east
of Montgomery on the Christian coun
ty line was finally settled last Mon
day when the County Road Commits
sion designated the direct road as
the route.
No other way had been thought Of
until few weeks ago. At that time
it developed that some of the people
along the direct road had refused to
contribute as literally as the situation
demanded in order to get money
enough to build the road, and the
road around by Capt. Sob" Roach's
place and back to the Main Road
through the Bryant lane got into the
contest, The citizens along this road
subscribed most literally, and it
developed that the road made the dis
lance one and 2-tenths miles farther
to the Christian county line. The
additional money subscribed, while
much more liberal than subscribed by
the people along the other road, was
not sufficient to meet this additional
cost.
The grading contract has been let
only to, the colored church, but it is
likely that the contract for grading
the remainder of the road on to the
county line will be let within few
weeks. The citizens along the en-
tire route from the end of the pike to
the Christian county line have made
plans to secure the money to gravel
the road after it is graded, and three
fourths of the entire cost of the road
is to be bourne by the state, but the
state simply pays back the money
after it has been spent, and the citi-
zens secure the money for immediate
use, and it is then refunded by the
state as the road money comes into
the state treasury.-Cadiz Record.
