For a month past our good
regular customers have been
asking for just such shoes as
are included in this disposal.
They would have willingly paid
IS or Sc more a pair for them,
but we were obliged to tell them
that we could not supply them
at that time.
Now we will not only supply
these shoes but we will sell
them at $12 a pair, which is a
third less than many of them
are selling for elsewhere, and a
fine saving in every instance.
Please remember that these
are all new style shoes, fine in

they are the finest shoes for

IN MEMORY.

On last Wednesday night, Feb. 25,
1920, the death angel visited the
town of Wildersville, and claimed for
its victim the body of Aunt Sarah
Burch, and her soul took its flight
from earth to heaven, to begin its
never ending JOY of eternity.
She was born in Decatur county,
June 14th, 1856, being the Oldest
daughter Of T. L and Mary Griggs,
and departed this life Feb. rs, 1920,
having reached the age of 63 years,
eight months and some few days.
On December z, 1879 she was mar
ried to j. N. Jones and to this union
were born two children, Linnie, Mrs.
E. ]. Bruce and Lenie MRS. R. N.
Lewis the latter preceding her
mother to the grave some ten years
ago.
Her second marriage occurred Dec.
18th. 1900 to Robert Bureh. who pre-
ceded her to the grave nearly six

JAMES THREADGILL.

James, son of j. S. and Mrs. Eta
Threadgill, aged about 16 years, died
Wednesday of last week, Feb. 25th,
at his home in the Second district, Of
pneumonia and influenza, the same
disease that had carried off his sister
some two weeks ago.
The terrible double calamity which
has stricken this large and most adj
mirable family, is one in which there
are consultations Notwithstanding the
inexpressible sorrow it has brought
the knowledge that the victims had so
lived that they were entitled to a
place in the "Home Over There" bet
ter than anything that this world can
give.
The loss of this youth is a serious
one to the country for he had in him
the making of a man to do a valua-
BILE work in the world. With our
friends we sympathize in their sor-
row-and with them can thank the
Good Go dthat they yet have much to
live for.

ministers who give a part of their
time to other occupations, which con-
dition was laid to inadequate salar-
les. In one county the average sal
airy paid to ministers is STA per year.
One country pastor said he some
times got Is cents for a sermon and
sometimes rs cents-"that they think
it is as much my duty to come and
preach to them as it is for them to
come and hear me preach And is
that not fact?
In ten counties only % out of 429
churches have the full service of a
pastor. OF these churches 165 gain
ed in membership, in ten years, 1903
lost and 161 remained stationary.
In one community in the county
first referred to, with a population of
1000, there were 200 farms titled by
owners and only ten farms titled by
tenants and there were only three
churches, none of which with a regu-
lar pastor, Sunlay-school or regular
services. The chief difficulty in the
backwoods districts is said to be in
difference toward religion.
DR.. w. N. Tippy, secretary of the
social service committee of the Fed
Grafton of churches, speaking on in
dustrial problems, stated that 60 per
cent of the country's wealth is in the
hands of 2 per cent. of the population
even worse than "free trade" ad-
vocates have ever stated.

ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS.

Astounding revelations have been
made at conference of State Prot
estant ministers in Nashville, this
week, at which as many as $50 were
expected to be present, including
those of Tennessee and other states.
Here are some of the startling facts
made known.
In one Middle Tennessee county
there are only 38 church members un-
der 81 years old in school popula-
ton of $500 and total church mem
bership of 1926 and total population
of 1915, Twenty-Five of the twenty
six churches of the county hold no
Sunday School service whatever.

merly missionary in the West In

than the United States and asked
"who is going to win Cuba, the Amer

Perhaps half mile above the Sta
ley Mill, on Cedar Creek, Perry Coun-
ty, Tenn, AZ years ago lived ia
nous old couple, "Uncle Bill and
Aunt Kate" Flowers; and Aunt Kate,
who was a woman of enormous size,
was a member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. One day there rode up
to the hospitable Flowers home a
gentleman who introduced himself as
minister of the church of which
Aunt Kate was a member. The old
lady most cordially invited the
preacher to dismount and come in,
which he did, and in the conversation
that followed the reverend gentleman
informed Mrs. Flowers he was a
stranger; that he came from the
North, and that he had spent the
night before some distance down the
creek with Bro. ---. Upon hear
ing the name Aunt Kate rose up in
her wrath and said: "Sir, l am a
member of the Methodist church, all
right, and you may be a minister of
it, but it's a dead certain fact that
you can't spend one night in the home
of niger and the next one in mine
so get out, and be quick about it."
