TW0ULD BE FOOLISH
BEYOND EXPRESSION.

! ! -
There was considersble talk ii the
rs lit Fey ard Saturday to
to combat the continued and still ris-
ing high cost Of living. We'trust that
the governor will refrain from so
sduandering the money of the people,
for it is our understanding that an
extra session Of the General Assembly
costs something like twenty thousand
dollars--and we feel that the County
court of Henderson county con do as
much toward cutting the h. c. |. as
can be done by the legislature. Just
so long as there are so many sellers
without conscience and buyers with
out brains, neither Congress, the Leg
islature nor any other law-making
body can have any material effect on
the high prices which the crooks ask
and the fools will give. The only way
to cut down the price of an article
held too high, is-DoN'T BUY 1T. BY
the time even Congress makes any
sort of investigation, the profiteer
drops it, runs back to the beginning
place and repeats the performance on
some other article.

CUPID ON WHEELS IN

The always busy little god, Cupid,
not being content with the record that
| the Court of Civil appeals of the State
81. .Tenn<ssse was .ssnszsa him. lA.ths
fact that decision Of the court had
been rendered while the members
were on moving train, pulled off
a stunt" in this county on Wednesday
afternoon of last week, which enti-
ties the aforesaid little god to be
counted at least "Hoss and hoss" in
the game and on the records with the
illustrious judges of the appellate
court-but to be more specific:
On Wednesday afternoon Of last
week, on the train which was speeding
Southward, while between the towns
of Wildersville and Lexington, Rev.
Fleetwood Ball, pastor of the Lexing-
ton First Baptist church, said the GER
emony which united for life, in the
Holy Bonds of matrimony, Mr.. Robert
E. Bunch, of Lexington, and Miss Luz
cile Bolen, of Wildersville, and Mr..
Will T. Roberts, of Alberton, and Miss
Ruby Fench, of Wildersville. While
the ceremony was being performed,
with the minister and the quartette of
candidates for the estate of matri-
mony, standing in the vestibule of
the car, the iron horse was speeding
toward the South at the usual good
time which has made the NC famous
something like a mile in the space
of two minutes.
The grooms are sons, respectively,
of those well-known Henderson coun-
ty farmers, Mr.. Sol N. Bunch, Of Lex
ington,. and Mr.. c. 7. Roberts, of the
Wildersville community. The brides
are the respective daughters of DR.. c.
E. Bolen and Mr.. John Finch, both
of Wildersville. These young people
are entitled to the best of happiness
and success the world can give and
The Progress heartily wishes it for
them.

IT'S THE FOOL BUYERS AND
UNSCRUPULOUS SELLERS.

We talked to a gentleman a few
days ago on the subject of high prices
of shoes and we agreed with each 9TH
er that the fool buyer is aiding and
abetting in the selling of shoes at un-
reasonable prices. In certain town
in. West Tennessee a man walked into
the store of an honest shoe dealer
and asked for plain, everyday pair
of shoes of his number. The dealer
got down a box from his shelves and
when the shoes were shown and the
price stated to be $3.50 the prospec-
tive buyer said Say, haven't you
got a better shoe than that p where
upon the dealer got another pair,
which were tried on, found to be sat
isfactory and the price given at $3.50.
"Ah," said the customer, Il thought
sa; that's the shoe for me-" He gave
tile dealer a $1,000 bin and when he
was handed $3.50 in change, the
dealer let ''the eat out of the wal
let" by telling him that the first and
second shoes were made by the same
factory and were identical in quality,
the only difference being in the last
or shape of the shoe. Moral: If
you 90 to buy a pair Of shoes, don't
be fool.

CENSUS SUPERVISORS
IN UNITED STATES.

Washington, Dec. 25k sixty-five
former soldiers and sailors have been
appqint@d nqpeFYjaQrz ~ tho Feur-
Bureau of Cesus.
'The Census Bureau was particu-
larly glad whenever it found for
mer service man for the job of su-
pervisor," announced Director of the
Census, Sam L. Rogers. "Most of the
applicants who qualified, however,
were men of more mature age and of
broader experience than the major
ity of soldiers and sailors"
Three women appear on the list of
supervisors, one having been appoint
ed to serve in the State of New York,
one in Texas and one in Nevada. This
is the first time in the history of the
Census Bureau that women have been
selected to fill these positions.
OF the 372 supervisors chosen ap-
proximately 100 are lawyers. Ex-
service men come next in numbers
and editors rank third with more than
40 appointments. Farmers are repre-
sented with about 25, while educators,
numbering about 20, run the farmers
a close race.
Several physicians have undertaken
the task of collecting Uncle Sans
statistics, and likewise a great many
business men.
Each supervisor appointed had to
undergo rigid tests as to his fitness
for the position, especial stress hav-
ing been laid on character and ex-
perience.
"No man was appointed a supervis-
or for the Fourteenth Census" said
Mr.. Rogers, Until every possible
guarantee was given as to his abil-
Ity and honesty. Character was at
all times the leading and redominat-
ing consideration with the Census
Bureau in every appointment made"

LITTLE Roy RUN OVER
AND HURT BY AUTO.


Last Monday afternoon at late
hour, at the Watson Drug store cor
ner Of the public square, James Lee.
llIs year, ear oI6 son u NJ. ana mrs.
]. Walter Wright, was run over by an
automobile driven by Miss Armenia
Love, daughter Of Mr.. Dock Love,
farmer who lives few miles West of
town. Those who witnessed the ac-
cident differs as to the details, but
the fact remains that the boy was
painfully injured and that the young
lady who drove the car was much dis
tressed on account of it. The little
fellow was knocked down by the fore
wheel of the car, cutting cash of
some 21a inches in the middle of his
forehead and the back axle' in pass
ing over him made another hurt at
the base of the skull. James Lee was
CdIIieu W his uOllc VII ANoitH Naiii
street, accompanied by DIR. Sam t.
Parker, who was soon Joined by DR..
John Powers, who lives in the Wright
home. The little boy never lost con-
sciousness but did not rest until far
in the night and it was pure luck that
his hurt was much more painful than
dangerous.
This regretable accident brings to
mind that there is the least possible
observance Of the speed laws in run
ming automobiles. So great is this
disregard that it is estimated that
hardly one person in a hun
dred pays little attention to the speed
limit set by the corporation laws. 1t
is fact that any man, woman or
child who runs an automobile at
speed in excess of the limit of ten
miles per hour in the corporation linn
its, violates the law. In addition to
to that no automobile should be allow
ed to be left standing at the curb or
pavements and when one is found
standing it should be taken to a gar
age by the town marshal.
