HARDING GIVES BIG
 ORDER TO HIS TAILOR

Washington, November 1.-(Special.) In as much as Senator Harding has been elected President of the United States, and has become public property. the public is permitted to peep into his ward robe. The casual inspection reveals the fact that the President-elect adorns him self with most scrupulous care. He holds with Polonius, it would appear, that clothes do oft make the man.
 It is learned that the President-elect' S tailor is Paul Gettum of Toledo. He has served Harding for "A years. He now has the commission to make the suit the next President will wear on the day of his inauguration. Furthermore, he has a big order. And last week, Gettum completed for Harding a gray golf suit, and a pair of long trousers, and pair of knickerbockers, with caps to match.
 He is now working on ii suits, three overcoats, six pairs of trousers. and a dozen silk vests also two cutaway frock suits, two dress suits, two dinner suits, one frock overcoat, two spring overcoats, six pairs of flannel trousers and dozen fancy vests for dress and tuxedo suits.
 The above information is issued by the republican publicity in order to prove that the President-elect is worthy of the office, and that the day of high thinking and plain living has returned,

Troy. November r.-CSpecial )-Al- though the business houses and stores of Troy did not observe general holiday by closing Armistice Day still the signifi- canoe of the day was not lost. All of the banks and the State Normal school ob- served the day as a holiday, and were closed for the day The Troy High school and elementary school continued their regular work for the day. but in the aft- ernoon appropriate programmes were gwen.
 Thursday night community singing vas held in the auditorium of the city school under the auspices of the Music Study club. and the programme of songs and readings was greatly enjoyed by the large audience present.
 That Pike county will have a fair in 1921 is assured. A meeting was held of the directors and stockholders this week, and 1t was the unanimous opinion that the fair should be given and made so attractive that it could pay off this years indebtedness and it's own way. A com mittee of five was appointed to arrange for the 1921 fair, and to make plans for caring for the deficit of the 1920 fair Gov. Charles Henderson is chairman of this committee.
 The quarterly conference of the Metho- dist church at it's last meeting passed resolutions indors;ng the work of Dr. H. c. Threadgill. pastor of the Troy church. and asking for his return for another year. He has served the Troy church for the past five years. and is beloved by all the people of Troy. The churches of the Troy district. of which the Rev. w. II. Mccseal is presiding elder, has shown more increase than any of the other churches in :he conference. The Rev. McNears return was also asked.
 The Rotary club also passed resolu-' tions at their weekly meeting, indorsing the work of Dr. ThreadgiIl and asking for the good of the town that he be re- turneS
