DONATIONS BEGIN

1t is very evident that those at
the Madison County Inhr1nary
are to be remembered, since they
are said to already have been the
recipients of some good things
and things that they'll appreciate,
the donors being a number Of city
school girls. The latter are re
ported to have gone to the in
stitutiOn Monday afternoon.
1t is known there will be other
donations made through the us
ual channels and this institution,
the same as others of the county
and city, will be the scene OF re
joicing this year, as usual. The
spirit Of giving seems to have be-
come prevalent and with city and
church usually booked for an en-
tertainment of some character
appropriate to the occasion, there
promises to be a general obser-
vance.

fine TURKEYS
FOR EAST MARKET

Turkeys, which will arrive in
the city within a day or two, and
which have been ordered by east
ern firms especially for the grac-
ing of noted tables in the metro
politan cities during Christmas,
will be sent by express, the fowls
not having to be jostled about in a
chicken car as is usually the case.
Mr.. Oglesby, of the American
Railway Express company, is pre-
pairing for the rush, which has al
ready started in this line, and will
be prepared to take care of the
birds when they arrive and get
them out on time. They will ride
in the proverbial baggage car
ahead" and will precede most ev-
erything else in the way of freight
and express. There will be a big
quantity shipped east this year, as
usual, since it is known the order
has been place. Many of the con
sumers must see the Richmond
KY" label before receiing the
turkeys, such is the reputation fol-
the fowls that have been shipped
from this part of the state during
the past several years.

CUTS CONTINUE IN
COUNTRY PRODUCE

There has been another cut in
the price of country smoked
hams according to the sales by
farmers in the city Tuesday
morning, some selling for as low
as IS cents a pound. This is a de
crease of from 3 to s cents since
last week. Eggs, too, have drop
ped in price, selling now directly
from the country for 90 cents per
dozen. while butter ranges from
SO to so cents. There is an I'M
usual demand. it is claimed, i'll the
city for country produce, and the
demand is growing. Dealers,
when approached on the subject,
at least one of them, stated the
cause was the recent high prices,
and declared the consumer was
accustomed to paying more for
their produce, and have been con-
tinuing this habit of buying
from the producer direct. He adj
mitted that his business was
seemingly not interfered with.
However, he claimed the cause
for the change was the contracts
many consumers had with the
farmers, and that the latter now
set the price.

MULE SALES FALL
OFF AT ST. LOUIS
~ -Associated Press)

East ST. Louis, Dec. 21-Sales at
the mule market here, considered one
of the largest in the world, are only
about one-tenth of what theye were
last winter, according to dealers.
About $4,000 head were sold last
winter when prices were at their peak
but dealers say it is probable less
than 10000 will be disposed of this
winter.
"The decline in demand in pricese
began last August" j. w. Harvey,
representative Of a large mule COM
pany, explainde. ''This is attributed
to the fact that farmers in the south
are not buying because of the low
prices for cotton, tobacco, lumber,
RE and sugar. Most sales of mules
in the winter season are for the
SOUTH
Another dealer said the demand
was for mules to be used in mines.
The ''mne mules" are selling from
$50 to $500 q drop in the maximum
prize of $50 since year ago, it was
said. Prices for other mules range
from $75 to $275, compared with a
range of from 5000 to $500 twelve
months ago, it was added.
Dealers asserted only 40 to SO
mules are being sold dial, when 500
was the usual number last year. A
large number of the mules sold here
come from Missouri, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, and Illinois.

.BEREA DEFEATED

Hembree's Bunch, Unmindful of
Stellar Lights and Fast Com
pany, Jump In and Win

The goal tossers of the T. K. s. N.
S. made their initial appearance last
night in closely contested game
with the goal shooting aggregation
from Berea winning by 16 to Is score.
The little city on the southern sub
urbs of Richmond, was represented by
the pick of Berea varsity, plus certain
kentucky Wesleyan College stellar
ties. According to "dope" they
should have given much better ac-
count of themselves, but after last
| nights game, it is clearly evident
that other stars are dawning in the
Eastern" sky.
Coming down to earth and few
plain statements: It's quite remarka-
BILE to see as bunch of youngster
jump into mid-season form, especial
ly since the game is entirely new to
some of Eastern's line up. Malloy
and Stone are well known as old
! Madison High stars. Capt. Fox is a
former Ky. Wesleyan star. McCubbin
is reported as having starred on Be
rea's varsity, and his knack of finding
/ the basket coupled with his ability
/ to get the jump on his opponent, will
probably cinch him for center posi-
ton Combs comes unheralded, but
that's immaterial, Tor with his ability
/ TO cover ground, h shows every
/ promise of a strong defensive.
The local boys Jumped into the lead

{ Stone cleverly rurss up the first two

tally up to twelve oints by the end OF
The first half. TIE Berea tossers il

ness to score took too many long

LIFE Term FOR
HORRIBLE CRIME
Jackson County Jury Convicts
One of Murderers of Little
Owsley County Girls
(From owslsy County Courier)

(From Owsley County Courier)
Grover Gabbard, of Upper Buffalo
this county, was sentenced Thursday
morning to serve the remainder of his
life III the state penitentiary for the
murder of II year old Bessie Allen
The verdict was arrived at by the
jury summoned from Jackson county.
The evidence in the case against
Grover Gabbard which began last
Saturday, December 18th showed that
the defendant together with Robert
Sandlin Harlan Wood Baker and
Robert Clark having partaken freely
of moonshine whisky, banded them
selves together and went to the home
of one Ann Smith, a widow woman
who lived on Lucky fork of Upper
Buffalo creek, in the month of June,
1920, and demanded that the deceas-
ed Bette Allen, an orphan, and
niece of the widow woman, go with
them to the woods.
After having failed in two attempts
to secure the girl and with threats
that if she did not go with them they
would kill everyone there and burn
the house down on them, the girl
finally agreed to go with Grover
Gabbard, who offered her protection.
She agreed to go with this state
ment, Before l will let them burn
the house down and kill us all l will
CO."
At the time of the happening there
were also present Norm Hutchinson
and wife and daughter of Ann
Smith. Witnesses stated that she
was crying when she left tie house
was crying when she left the house
with Grover Gabbard.
They left te houes at about eight
o'clock at night and at eleven o'clock
they carried her back with her body
riddled with bullets and her scant
clothing soaked with blood.
The affidavit was taken by Magis-
trate John Burns before her death
next day at noon and to the question
as to why she went with them from
the house she replied, "They made
me 60" 1t was stated by witnesses
that many times before her death
she mumbled the words, "They have
ruined me and killed me, too"
Another witness said that before
the girl died she said, 81 don't see
why they would want to take a little
orphan girl out like me and destroy
me this way, 1.-THE garments which the
orphan girl wore at the time she was
shot and which plainly showed the
bullet holes were shown to the jury
during the trial. The size of the gar
tents was proof to the eyes of the
crowd that the girl could not have
been full grown woman, as was
claimed by some.
The other alleged slayers will be
arraigned for trail at the March
term of circuit court. f. F.. HOgg,
II. b. Eversole and John F. Dixon
were the lawyers for the defense.
Many fines and Jail sentences were
inflicted this court on moonshiners.
SO many that our county Jail which
looked line a deserted place a month
ago, is now crowded to overlooking.
1t doesn't help the makers of hooch
a great deal to tell this court that
they knew nothing of the line little
white mule factory which was found
within a few yards of their cabin
door.
