Obituary.

Mary Catherine Brassell, daughter
of Patrick and Mary Brassell, was born
at Elkhart, H., March 81, 1867; was
converted and united with the NJ. L.
Church at the age of II years; was
married to George Waltz June 81, 1888.
She died at her home in Jasper June II,
1919, at the age of so years, months
and 10 days. She leaves to mourn her
departure a husband, an only son,
devoted daughter-in-law, an infant
granddaughter two sisters, Mrs. Josie
johnson of Dallas, Tex, and Mrs. Nell
lie Murray of Brush, Tenn, and host
of affectionate friends.
How beautiful was her life, having
remembered her Creator in the days of
her youth, and having faithfully kept
all the precepts of Methodism until
God called her home.
She came into the Lebanon neighbor-
hood five years ago with her husband
and only son, Harrison, they having
purchased the old John w. Rex farm
Of c. f. Rex, and remained three years
To know her was to love her, for she
brought brightness and love and cheer
to all.
When stricken with an incurable
disease three years ago one of her deep
est regrets was having to give up her
place as church worker at Lebanon
Church, where she and her husband
and son belonged.
At her request this writer arranged
the choir who beautifully sang the
songs she loved. The singers we're
Messrs. T.. l.. Brown, J. II. Bowers,
Omer Webb, Rev. J. w. Moore, Mes
danes Allen Peterson, "A. NJ. Crandall,
A. f. Drake, and Miss Mary Drake.
The songs were, "Nearer, My God, to
Thee, " at Is Well With My Soul"
and my Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast"
and the solo by Mrs. Peterson SO feeling
ly rendered was 1.-The Home of the
Soul" This writer, by Mrs. Waltz's
request, was pianist.
The funeral service was conducted
by the two Methodist ministers, Rev.
j. W. Moore and Rev. Sam q. Keys,
in most consoling and gratifying
manner, and as an intimate friend OF
this dear departed soul, we feel like
saying in her behalf to both singers
and ministers and ull who tried to bring
peace to her dying bed, Thank you"
The pallbearers were Nathan Patterson,
Ollie Roberts, Frank Crow, Harry
Waters, Jake Wine, Homer Bayne.
1t was matter of deep regret to the
family that the sisters in other state )
were unable TO lie present at her funeral
and u most litter sorrow that she could
not see and hold in her aims the tiny
form Of her week old granddaughter
Mary Belle, her name sake; but why
so? When only few short years and
the sisters will be united in heaven, and
who can deny the fact that she
today and in time to come may be
the guiding star and guardian angel Of
little Mary Belle, as she basks in the
everlasting sunlight of that unchange-
able home where the King of all King
doms in reality is holding our crowns
in Ills hands. Friends of Jasper,
friends of Lebanon, that we may all
meet there is the one desire Of

RAISE PRETTY
LEGAL POINT
IN FELONY CASE

A pretty legal point will be
threshed out in the opening rounds
of the court fight precipitated by the
rearrest today of Jack Ruhrdorf of
Imperial on charge of embezzle-
ment, the complainant being w. A.
Tomlinson, a business man of that
city.
Ruhrdorf was originally arrested
a few days ago on two charges, both
preferred bv Tomlinson--one for en-
bezzlement and one for bootlegging
Both were dismissed before Justice
Smith Of imperial by motion of the
district attorney.
The rearreSt was on warrant Is
sued by Justice Isaac Mayfield. The
defendants counsel, Joseph F. Sey-
mour, says he will raise the legal
question of excess of jurisdiction,
holding that the prosecution does not
have the right to dismiss the action
before one magistrate and reopen it
before another without first making
showing which would disqualify the
first magistrate to sit in judgment
en- the case.

volved in anotElDS- civil action

BOOST MEETING
TONIGHT ON
|MPROYEME { NTS

Representatives of at least five
civic organizations will attend the
special conference and talkfest at the
Chamber of Commerce tonight, at
which various proposed public i'm
provements will he given considera
ton.
The tentative improvement plan
one submitted by a special Chamber
of Commerce committee, headed by
Joseph F. Seymour. calls for bonds
for the purchase or election of a
municipal light plant,e lighting sys-
tenn, stadium, playground, fire alarm
system and city hall.
Chamber of Commerce officials de-
clare that no set program or slate
has been arranged and that a full and
free discussion of all improvements
for which there is a public demand,
whether great or small, will have an
equal chance.
Mr. Seymour, the head of the
boost body committee, today stated
that he had encountered a strong SEN
timent for plant of four units,
owne dbv the municipality, for the
manufacture of ice, gas and electric
ity, and for the furnishing of wa
ter.
With this plan seemingly very
popular, one difficulty has been en-
countered. The bonding limit of the
city as it stands today will permit an
expenditure of only 100000, while
the estimated cost of the above-men-
toned plant and systems would be
in the neighborhood of $500000.
However, when the federal census
is taken next January it is thought
that the growth in population and
taxable wealth Of tse city will per-
nit a great increase in the bonding
capacity. possibly in sufficient amount
to provide for these four big pro-

"The U. S. Employment Service
was established in California, Feb

"Since January /, 1919, has Sc

"At the present time twenty local
offices in various parts of the state
are being operated by the U. S. En-
ployment Service, with the assistance
Of various welfare and war relief or
CARNATIONS, individuals, employers
and labor unions.
The service cannot make OppOrtu-
mites for employment, but it is the
patriotic duty of every employer who
can make room for one or more SOL
diers, without increasing the number
of unemployed civilians, to at once
list his order with the U S. Employ
ment Service.
"The bureaus for returning SOL
diers and sailors must be maintained
and increased.
"All public and private efforts
must be co-ordinated and centralized.
"This unity of effort must be COM

Go N MI I TEE
MAYOR
TO SUPPRESS
MOVIE SHOW
Mayor George Watkins De-
clines to Issue Order to
Prevent Showing of Social
Evil Film.

A committee of citizens called on
Mayor George Watkins this morning
to issue an order that would prevent
the public showing of ''Fit to Win,
"a government produced picture which
is to be shown here Thursday, Friday
and Saturday at the Tulane theatre.
Some of the members of the COM
mittee had witnessed the preview of
the picture on last Monday evening
and they united in asking for its sup
preston on the grounds that IT was
immoral, immodest and indecent, and
not the proper sort of production
to be given public showing.
The mayor, who had also been
prsenet at the pre-view, declined to
accede. to the demand Of the commit
tee He declared that municipal au-
tkorities had no power to stop the
showing of the picture, as it was the
property of the United States gov
ernment, and stated that he agreed
heartily with its purposes-a propa-
ganda for clean living and against
the forces of the underwood. The may
or said:
"Instead of stopping the. showing
of this picture, consider it to be
the most wonderful production of its
kind l have ever seen. lowing to the
existing conditions here in this city
and he dangers attending ignorance
of the physical results of immoral
practice, should advise every parent
of boy over Is years of age to eth
er take him of at least see that
he went to see the picture Fit to
Win ~
Failing to see the mayors view
point, the committee will carry it's
fight to the Chamber of Commerce
meeting at the Barbara Worth this
evening. Joseph F. Seymour, who
acted as chairman of the unofficial
committee, said this afternoon he
would request the boost body meet
ing to adopt resolutions demanding
that the city council go over the may
or's head and prevent the showing of
the picture.
Those who joined with the commit.
tee in denouncing the film were Jo+s
seph Seymour. Clarence B. Conlin and
Judge Isaac Mayfield.
