OPEN MEETING OF
AMERICAN LEGION

''The American Legion is the great
est organization outside the church
es," declared Rev. W. W. Astles, ad-
dressing a large number of people
who attended the open meeting Of
the Legion at the Dixie Theatre, on
Sunday afternoon. He spoke of the
aims and purposes of the Legion, its
high ideals and splendid designs.
Taking the preamble to the Legion
constitution, he analyzed it causing
many to see that the American Le-
gion stands for higher principles than
seeking a bonus for their services in
the World War.
This was the direct purpose of the
meeting-to expound the Legion to
outsiders, and to create public SYM
pathy for its activities. The local
Post intend going to other towns of
the county, rendering a like program
to the one given at the Dixie Sunday
afternoon, entertaining also educat-
ing the public az to the Legion's prin-
ciples of Americanism, and the good
they as an organized body hope to
do to stamp out Radicalism, Bolshe-
vism, and such menaces.
Musical numbers and a reading
completed the program on Sunday
| afternoon. F. D. Bryant, Henry
County Post commander presided ov.
er the meeting.

Marrying Squires In
Close Competition;
Mobiles Gets One OUer

Esq. Mobiles who has joined the
coterie of marrying squires" not to
the extent of meeting N. & G. trains
for prospective victims" but as far
as being frequently in demand by
misguided pair contemplating the fl
nal plunge, has the laugh on Esq.
Pink Erwin who belongs to the afore-
said variety. 1t seems that on last
Saturday afternoon, Esq. Erwin as
customary had gone to the 4:12 train
to offer his official services to any
needy Kentucky couples straying this
far across the border for very spe-
cific purpose. Just at that time, a
couple, who appeared in an interest
ing hurry arrived at the court house
and sent out an s. o. s. for a mar
rying squire. In the absence of
Esq. Erwin, Esq. MOBILES was requi-
sitioned to do the dirty work, and SO
performed the ceremony which uni
ted Miss Frances Hancock and j. H.
Williams of Memphis. A general
laugh from those "on the inside
track" greeted Esq. Erwin when he
returned "victimless" from the train.
But he declares that was an excep-
tion.

Willy sugar again took a leap this
week and went to 30 and 3S 1-3 cts,
for various grades, locally. Mer-
chants also are limiting a customer
to- a dollars purchase. The rise
seems effective generally, and in some

Edwin J. O'Malley, New York COM
missioner of Public Markets advo-
Gates a thirty days abstinence from
candy, cakes, and other sweets. He
says that the lack of sugar for home
consumption is due primarily to the
enormous consumption of sugar by
manufacturers, who have obtained
control of all the available supply.
He predicts that a ban on the sugar
products would result in releasing at
least part of their holdings.

speaker, has a strong delivery, and
will certainly have successful meet
ing. He is assisted by Chas. P.

new PERFUMERS
LAUNCHING HERE
Tyson & Company, Local Organiza-
tion To Manufacture Toilet
Goods In This City.

1t means something to the business
interests of the t wn, and will also
be of general concern that Paris is
to have a new perfume and toilet
company, Tyson & Co., Perfumers,
recently organized by J. Alvin Tyson
and Walter C. Johnson, Jr., and in
corporated under the laws of the
State of Tennessee, with an author
lied capital of 100000. Beginning
June the firm will occupy the second
and third floors of the building on
the east side of the square now oc-
cupied by c. H. Bilsky. They will
remain there until anticipated busi-
ness demands more extensive quar-
ters.
This company proposes to manu-
facture few high class specialties
and private brands, and also to man.
ufacture and sell through dealers a
special line of toilet articles consist
ing of about eight specific items ap-
pealing chiefly to the negro trade,
as we'll as to all dark skin people. 1t
appears that the possibilities of line
of this class are practically unlimited
and although the field is almost new
one, that the few who have entered
it have met with untold success, it
being automatically stated that the
manufacture sales of a similar line
for 1919 amounted to more than a
million and a quarter dollars. The
formulas Of Tyson & Co., are differ
ent from those Of any other manu-
facturer and have been worked out
and proven by actual use for five
years.
The two young men promoting the
new perfume company both possess
keen business integrity, as well as
considerable experience in the toilet
and perfume business, having been
associated with the National Toilet
Company each for a term of years.

COUNTY TEACHERS
GET SALARY RAISE
Board Of Education Recognizes High
Costs, And Grants Five Dollars
Flat Increase.

The County Board of Education,
in all-day session here Tuesday and
Wednesday took the commendable
action of giving every teacher in the
county fiat raise of at least $5 a
month. This means only about an
additional $47O0 to the 1000 last
year paid for teachers salaries in
Henry, and goodness only knows what
this small raise even, will mean to
many pecuniary strained peda-
gogue. No teacher is to receive less
than $50 per month. More than
half of the county teachers expect to
take summer work, for which the
board agreed to give bonus.
The County Board expects to have
every teacher assigned by the middle
of May. 1t is understood that they
were overwhelmed with applicants
for places this year, there being 20
alone from the graduating class of
