New Officer
In Disfavor

At meeting of the American Le-
gion held Saturday evening, sever
al topics of interest were taken up
and discussed, among which was the
drawing up of a resolution request
ing the removal of one of the county
officials for having failed to do his
duty in time of war. Members of
the Finley Legion were here acting
as agents for that post and inform
ing the local legionaires as to the
facts in the case. The Sharon post
has also taken the same action in
regard to this matter.
Developments have since been
coming in rapidly, the Pioneer re-
ceiving a letter from States Attor-
ney Satire last evening, saying that
if we published the resolutions we
would be prosecuted for criminal Ii
bel. Therefore we are not publish
ing.it. not from fear of prosecution,
but awaiting the final proof of the
charges. Reports came in this even
ing of the approaching arrest for
criminal libel of DR.. Quirk, an ac-
tive Legion man of Finley and a
thirteen-months overseas veteran
for the bringing of this case to the
attention of the public, direct char
'ges being made that the county Of
fetal in question was not guilty OF
the charges and that the case might
be dismissed if full retractions were
made, which won't be the case, ac-
cording to Dr.. Quirk.
The resolutions were sent to the
official and to each of the county
commissioners, and when the latter
met the first part of the week, it is
reported that when they suggested
the retirement of the official, the
States Attorney objected seriously.
The resolutions drawn up were
not for the purpose of any political
propaganda but were drawn up after
careful study of the situation and
are conclusions arrived at in the af.
fair.
The matter will be taken up again
at the meeting of the the Legion on
Saturday night and all members are
urged to be present.
After the business meeting the
Legion were entertained by the Wo.
mans Auxiliary, a short program
being given and refreshments served
The program was made up of a vel
come speech by the Presidetn, Mrs
Jefferson; piano solo, Miss Kersting
vocal solo, Mrs. G. E. Martin; read
ing, Mrs. Gumb; piano solo, Mis-.
Domier. The boys enjoyed the af
fair to the limit and extended thank!
to the ladies for their interest il
Legion welfare and especially fol
the fine Chow.

We will find that heaven is only,

Husbands just like you.

John Fay Killed
By Officer Stockdale

John Fay, notorious character
about town, was short and instantly
killed this morning by Officer Rufus
Stockdale, while resisting arrest.
Fay. it seems was drunk and dis
orderly and was threatening to shoot
up house in the Red Light district
in which part of the city the trouble
occurred. The inmates, becoming
alarmed, telephoned police head
quarters and Stockdale was sent to
stop the disturbance. Fay was at
tempting to break in a door, it is
said, when ordered by Stockdale to
consider himself under arrest. Fay
then called Stockdale a vile name,
knocked the officers cap off and
made a move as if to draw a gun.
Stockdale, thinking his own life to
be in danger, drew his pistol and
fred one shot, the bullet piercing
Fay's heart and killing him instant
ly. Stockdale returned to headquar-
ters and gave himself up. His ex-
aiming trial will likely be held to-
morrow.
Fay's body was removed to the
undertaking establishment of Eastin
& Harris, and prepared for burial.
So far as is known Fay has no rela-
tives to claim the body and it will
probably be hurled here.
The affair is a very unfortunate
one, but according to Stockdale
could not be avoided.

Wedding Of Interest

The following from the Lexington
Herald of Sunday will be of much
interest here where DIR. Wyatt is
well known and widely related:
"The marriage of DR.. Walter Sim
rail- Wyatt, of Lexington, and Miss
Ethel Frank, of Minot, N D., was
solemnized Thursday in the private
parlor of the Hotel Sherman in Chi
cago. Rev. DR.. Barr, of the Michi-
gan Avenue Presbyterian church,
was the officiating minister and the
attendants were DR.. Wyatt's two
brothers, Messrs. Roy and Sidney
Wyatt, of Alabama; DR.. Charles C.
Carr, of Lexington. and W. p. Fo-
garty, of Cincinnati. The bride was
accompanied to Chicago by her sis
ter, Mrs. Manning, of North Dakota.
DIR. Wyatt and his bride remained in
Chicago for few days and will then
go for a tour of the South, visiting
kinsmen and other friends in Albany
and Birmingham, Ala. They will
reach Lexington September % and
go to housekeeping in their home in
Elsmere Park, recently purchased
by DIR. Wyatt for the coming of the
bride. He is extremely popular in
Lexington and many friends will
have cordial welcome for the
bride, who is possessed of beauty
and charm and was prominent in the
war service in Europe. DIR. Wyatt
was on the surgeons staff of the
Barrow Base Hospital Unit 40, and
while in England during the war met
his bride when she was temporarily
assigned to duty with the unit at the
time of the influenza epidemic. A ma
tive of Mt. Sterling, DR.. Wyatt, is
of leading Kentucky families, and
lived in Alabama for a number of
years before coming to Lexington,
where he is now successfully estab-
lished in his profession"

Harding Would
Reverse Foreign Policy

Senator Harding promi S s.
threatens" would be better word,
if elected, to completely reverse the
foreign policy of the United States.
Let us see what this would mean
in even a few familiar particulars /:
A reputation of the Monroe Doc
trine, which has been the established
policy for nearly a hundred years,
including Grover Cleveland's Vene-
zuland message: 'The United States
is practically sovereign on this con-
tinent and its fiat is law"
Reputation of the Spanish Amer
lean War and the return of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines to
Spain.
Reputation of the policies that
kept us at peace with Eusope lex
cept for the Spanish War; for more
than hundred years, and keeps us
at peace with Japan now.
Reputation of the treaty under
which we built the Panama Canal.
Return of Alaska to Russia.
Reputation Of our entrance into
the World War to overthrow Ger
man autoeracy and make the world
safe for democracy.
Reputation of our refusal to re-
hognize the Bolshevik government.
Reputation of our poliry of non
Intervention in Mexico.
These are but a few familiar
phases of our foreign policy that
Senator Harding would Completely |
reverse" |
Is it any mystery why they keep
him chained on the porch'

Buy Shoe Department
of r. E. Punch Co.

r. G.. Kern, as executor of the es-
tate Of the late Richard f. Punch,
has sold the shoe department of the
Punch Company to Thomas J. Will
son, J. r. Owings and Mrs. r. f.
Punch. Invoicing Of the stock will
begin on September 18th and the
new firm will take charge Immediate
ly after the invoice has been COM
pleted. Mr.. Wilson, senior member
of the firm, is a brother-in- law Of
Mrs. Punch and has for some time
past been connected with the COM
pany. Although a resident of Mt.
Stirling for comparatively short
while, he has made many warm
friends here and it is with great
pleasure that he is welcomed into
Mt. Sterling's business circles.
Mr.. Owings, while young in years,
has had much practical experience
in the shoe business, is extremely
popular with the trade and is a most
excellent salesman.
Mrs. Punch, who will be an active
member of the firm, joins the ranks
of Mt Sterling business women for
the first time. She is popular and
deservedly so, and her connection
with the firm will do much toward
assuring its success.
The new concern will pursue the
same policy that made the firm of
r. E. Punch & Co. such marked
success in the business world. Only
high class goods will be handled and
we bespeak for the new concern a
goodly share of the patronage of
this and surrounding counties.

Another Honored
Landmark Gone

Death comes to George c. Ever
1T at the age Of three score, ten and
nine years, at the home Of his son,
Catlett Everett, on Saturday night.
Burial took place in Machpelah GEM
-etery on Sunday afternoon after
funeral service at the home conduct
ed by Rev. M. V. P. Yeaman. Mr..
Everett is survived by two sons,
John Everett, who lives in the State
of Louisiana, near New Orleans;
G. Eatlett, Of this county; and one
daughter, Mrs. Lawless Gatewood,
also Of the county. Mr.. Everett was
good citizen, loyal to his friends
and with the strongest devotion for
his kindred. As he was in his 10y
atty to friends and relatives so he
was in political affiliations. When
younger man he could be counted on
as an active party worker and fig
ured in some Of the hottest contest
ed elections during the days when
the Blackburn's, MarshalPs, Beck's,
McCreary, and the Breckinridge's
were active in the political arena.
Under the Cleveland administration
he served as Postmaster Of Mt.
Sterling, had been town marshal and
had served this community in other
capacities.
q George Everett lived more than
the number of years allotted to man,
had the respect of all, and has pass
ed on and out of life to enjoy the
rewards of his labors. Peace to his
ashes, rest to his soul.
