Slight Quarrel With Ann Brings Jim

 and Deb Together Again
 If Jim suffered any reaction from his unexpected embrace of Deb, he didn't betray it that day. But next morning he criticized Ann. for the first time, and I wondered what hidden trait of thought made him suddenly hard to please. A golf contest was on at the links, and most of the members of my Sunday supper party were among those present in the gallery which ac- companied the players
 The links touch the Lorimer grounds on one side. consequently part of the gallery collected on my terrace before the game.
 Came Deb, smiling bravely as she said good morning to Jim. smiling brayely, also, on poor devoted Ted.
 Came Ann, skipping across the lawn with Ginger cuddled in her neck.
 She sat down on the arm of my chair Ann often sits on the floor, or on both feet; she ignores the rules of proper behavior, no matter how many men are around.
 As she sat on the arm of my chair, she poked the nose of her atrocious pet into my face and invited it to kiss its Aunt Jane. and then she scholded be- cause Aunt Jane was cross old thing to turn away from Sweetsie.
 Jlm heard, and came to us. and felt thanks" only it wouldn't sounded very polite.
 To me said Jim, Sorry, Jane" Y way of apology. then he put his arm about his wife's shoulder and whis pered in her ear

 Jim surveyed Ann helplessly. Su1- denly, to emphasize her remark, she stuck both feet out straight in front of her like a show girl.
 Jim's lips frightened. I had not mo- ticed Ann's feet before. They were shod in high -heeled pumps, tied with ribbon, and on the outside ef each of her ankles was an eelaborate rosette with flaring ends. I thought I had never seen such conspicuous feet off the stage.

SHANGHAI. China-Two little Chinese girls, Loh Van-sz and Yin Ching Dee, both 15 years old, have realized their desire to "see more of the world,p and are back in their homes at Sunkiang-but only after a plot to sell them into slavery had been thwarted
 Madame Sung Pau-sz, neighbor, took the girls to Shanghai on a pro- mise that they wouldn't mention the trip to any one. The ride throug n the country was wonderful to them. SAnd the big city was even more so. They were shown the bright lights of Shanghai and then taken to hotel.
 Bid for Girls
 As Loh and Yin lay in bed talking of their wonderful trip, they heard voices in the next room. They crepl to a door and listened.
 .rll give $16o for the best looking one and $140 for the other" they heard a man say. The girls crept back into bed and the next morning demanded to be taken to another hotel. At this place little -Loh met her brother nlaw, Te Chins-sung, a waiter in the hotel. She told him what they had heard the night before. Serving Terms
 The Hongkew police were called and the girls were rescued. Madame Pau-sz is serving a year in prison and the girls are satisfied to remain in their little home town but they have seen the pretty sights that they often dreamed about.

Why so much crying about
hard times? People seem to
have plenty of money to travel
on. Everybody has good clothes
to wear. Some have money to
buy whlskey with or to go to the
show every night where they
are convenient. The trains are
crowded with people every day,
and still they complain of hard
times.
The Marionville writer wanted
to know how to control hard
times. Use little economy and
common sense is a very good
remedy. People are complaining
of taxes being high. Well, an
acre of land that could be bought
thirty years ago for $50, can't be
bought now for $100. The high
er the valuation of property, the
higher the tax will be. What
makes hard times with some
people is because they don't
work. They just loaf about and
look for a living to come to them.
My advice is, when you make a
dollar, lay up part of it and try
to make another dollar. Some
people when they get a few dol
lars ahead quit work until it is
all gone and then cry hard
times"

KILLS SISTER WITH KNIFE
Who Had Usurped The AffeC-
tiOnS of Her Husband.
Released From Jail On Verbal
Promise To Appear Be-
fore Grand Jury.

A most sensational killing oc-
Cured in Whitwell Friday night
when Mrs. Grace Shumake was
killed with a pocket knife by her
sister, Mrs. Lena Vanhooser,
wife of BAN Vanhooser.
The tragedy occurred on Main
Street, nearly opposite the Bap-
tist Church. Mrs. Shumake liv-
ed one hour afterwards, dying
in Whitwell hospital. She was
slashed in the throat, left arm,
left and right breasts and her
right hand nearly cut off.
The tragedy is the result of
trouble which has existed for
years and at the preliminary ex-
animation at Jasper Monday af-
ternoon before Justices Pryor,
Warren and Johnston evidence
was brought forth which told a
tale of sin and misery for Mrs.
Vanhooser, which resulted in her
release from Jail, where she had
been confined since the crime,
with merely verbal promise to
appear before the grand jury if
it should so order for another ex-
animation. She is the mother of
six small children.
Great interest has been arous-
ed, and while there is deep re-
gret that the trouble had to cul-
inmate in tragedy. there is also
expressed deep sympathy for
Mrs. Vanhooser in what she has
had to undergo. Vanhooser, it
seems, had taken up with the
Shumake woman, who bore a
questionable reputation, to the
neglect of his wife and family,
and the trouble was of such long
standing that it preyed on Mrs.
Vanhooser's mind till it turned
her into a frenzy of rage. hence
the tragedy.
Mrs. Vanhooser was represent
ed in the trial by attorneys Nor

abets lawnessness in any form
cannot be a good citizen. There
can be no excuse for a man to
violate the prohibition amend
ment. The only excuse is the
money they get out of it. Of
course there is in vice money
and the ones who hope to reap
the reward has to put the public
conscience to sleep, and while it
sleeps bribes are offered to make
it easy for law breakers, thus
trampling on our statute books,
our flag. our Bibles and our
homes. The law and the courts
are against vice and against the
men who propagate vice. These
wildcatters are generally lazy,
living a dispisable life, getting
their gain from poor, hard-work-
ing men, debasing society as
much as possible, a sort of devils
compliment to our wives, moth
er's and daughters, These are
the ones that suffer from the
liquor traffic.
| am against wild-catting and
boot-legging because of the suf-
fering it entails on our Young and
rising generation. I've had wo-
men to come to me and cry and
tell me their husbands had spent
the last cent they had drawn to
pay off their whiskey bills, and |
know of men now who save up
$50 to $100 and then get on a
drunk and stay on it until the
last cent is gone. What a pity
our Woodworking men will let a
bootlegger fleece them and look
upon me and all others who dare
to intervene as enemies.
Some who are willing to harden
themselves against the laws of
God and man alike, lay aside the
evidence and die and fill a drunk
ards grave. They are bold to
defy the laws of the land and |
certainly am going to be bolder
in upholding the law and stand
for its enforcement. True, Tre-
cy City is quiet and there are no
that | personally know
of, but in other sections there is
lawlesSness. Of course, they
don't like for me to write it up.
Well, let them do right. The
time has come when people must
stand for law and order or go

TO THE TAXPAYERS
OF MARION COUNTY

For the purpose of informing
the taxpayers who own dogs in
this county, am having publish
ed a letter from the A ssistant At
torney General as to the case,
taken to the Supreme Court from
Chattanooga.
S. L. ROGERS,
Trustee.
The letter is as follows:
Nashville, Tenn.
April 27, 1920
Mr. S. L. Rogers.
Trustee Marion County,
Jasper, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Il am replying to your let
ter of the 18th instant. address
ed to General Thompson inquiring
what disposition has been made
of the case appealed to the Sup
RENE Court from Hamilton Coun.
ty involving the constitutionality
of the Dog tax Law.
when this case reached the
Supreme Court the State fill
ed a brief insisting that the case
should be dismissed because it
sought to recover a tax whichwas
paid voluntarily, so that taxpayer
had no right to make the question
of the constitutionality of the
statute. The attorneys for the
tax. payer have not filed a reply
to that brief, and | am not sure
that they will do so. We do not
think that the question can be
decided in that case for the
reasons stated,
Il see no reason why the
county officials should not enforce
the statue as it is written until
the Supreme Court has declared
it unconditional. and we know of
no reason to anticipate that the
Supreme Court would decide
that the law is unconstitutional.
Yours very truly,
"WM. H. SwIGGART, JR.
Asst. Atty. General. I"

for the aid of the poor and were giving
themselves in unselfish service.
For forty years they financed their
humanitarian efforts with the pennies,
nickels and dimes collected by blue
bonneted lassies in their tambourines.
Then the lassies laid the tambourines
aside to serve doughnuts and home
cheer to Uncle Sans boys over in
France, and they suddenly awakened a
public interest that made it unneces-
sary for the Army to depend any
longer for its existence on tambourine
collections.
Under the new dispensation the Sal
vationists present annually to the
country budget of their financial
needs. To maintain their homes, their
activities for children, for down-and-

require $1O,0oO,OOO in 1920 Their ap-
peal for this amount will be made be-
tween May 10 and 20.
