Death of D. M. Whitaker.

Daniel M. Whitaker died at Troy
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. B.
p. Moffatt, -on Thursday July Z
1921, after an illness of two or three
months resulting from general physi-
cal decline.
Mr.. Whitaker was born in Lincoln
County, Tenn, on October 81, 1910,
and he was one of eleven children
born to Daniel and Nancy Whitaker.
The family moved to Obion County
with the first settlers, locating in
what is now known as the vicinity of
Salem. After the breaking out of
the Civil War Mr.. Whitaker enlisted
September 8, 1861, in Company D,
Thirty-third Tennessee Infantry, Con-
federate Army. He served in this
command until June 80, 1864. He
was a good soldier and participated
in the battles of Shiloh, Chickamau-
ga, Murfreesboro and others. He was
seriously wounded at Kenesaw noun
tain and so incapacitated from civil
pursuits until 1857.
Mr.. Whitaker and Miss Elizabeth
l. Barnett were married in February,
1867. They settled on a farm in
Christian County, KY, near Casky,
and Mrs. Whitaker's death took place
April II, 1879. There were two
children of that union, both of whom
have passed over the river of life
A grandson, Daniel Perry, now To-
Gated at Pittsburgh, Pa, is one of
the surviving heirs.
In 1884 Mr.. Whitaker was married
fn Mics MI Eai1dar narnn11
daughter was born to this union,
now Mrs. B. P. Moffatt, of Troy. The
tragic death of Mrs. Whitaker took
place at Troy Dec. Z, 1918, in the fire
which burned the former residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. P. Moffatt.
For more than forty years Mr..
Whitaker was a farmer-citizen of
Christian County, KY. The Hopkins
vile New Era speaks of hin as a
leader among the citizens of that
county, man of higi. ideals and in
tegrity, broad sympathies and gener-
Gus character. He was a member Cf
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
and very active in his religious du-
ties. He was brother of the late
Mrs. Calie Whipple, so well beloved
by many of the older people of Union
City.
Services were conducted Friday
at Troy by Rev. T. P. Press
ly, assisted by Rev. G. T. Sellars, and
the remains were shipped to Hopkins
vile, KY, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. B. P. Moffatt and Mr.. Dan Per-
ry. Interment took place at River
side Cemetery.

FORD PLANT BUILDS
1O8,962 IN JUNE
Demand Exceeds Output as Ford
Breaks ALI Previou S Records.

During the month of June, the
Ford Motor Company, thru it's De
troit factories and % assembly
plants throughout the country
reached the production of 108,962
Ford cars and trucks, setting up a
new high record for one month.
Production of Ford cars and trucks
has been steadily increasing since
early spring, and shows substantial
gains over the same period last year.
The second quarter of 1921, viz,
April, May and June, shows an out
put of 301,796 FcPd cars and trucks
against 220,S7S for tie same three
months of last year, or net Increase
of SO,198.
Despite the fact, however, that
the Ford plants have been running
at maximum capacity, the demand
for Ford cars and trucks is not being
met, and at the present time, many
thousand unified orders have been
piled up ahead so that Ford sales are
still limited by manufacturing facil-
titles rather than marketing possibil-
tiles. Particularly is this true with
respect to enclosed cars, for which
the demand has been unusually
heavy.
One reason cited by Ford officials
for the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars is the present tendency
toward economy. Many of those
whose names have been added to
the long list of buyers might well
have afforded larger and more costly
cars than the Ford, but it is the be-
lief that most prospective motor car
buyers are investigating all of the
costs incident to motoring much
more carefully than at any period
during the past five years.
The estimated output of the Ford
factories for July calls for 100, 700
cars and trucks, or a production of
1850 a day for 25 days. Since the
assembling Of cars is being handled
during an eight hour work day only,
the hourly output will be 545 cars. In
other words, one Ford car or truck
leaves the assembly line every 61a

a check for $50, made payable to the
Post as a gift from DR.. M. G.. Gibbs,
Washington, d. G. DR.. Gibbs had a
twofold object in this: First as to-
ken of appreciation to his old-time
friends for favors of bygone days, and
then as patriotic sentiment for the
boys who offered to sacrifice them
selves for the honor of homeland
and civilization. A thousand thanks
from grateful hearts are returned to
DR.. Gibbs.

Calf With Hogs Feet.

Mr.. Zach Curlin was in town last
week and reported young calf at
his farm near Woodland, which is a
curiosity. Like any ordinary calf
from it's body down to its knees,
there the calf species change entirely
to that of hog. The feet are exact
ly like those of hog. The calf is
a healthy youngster and, as far as
the mother cow is concerned, there is
no difference.

CALLING CARDS

Nothing is SO difficult but that 1t may
be found out by seeking.-Terrence.
a WRITER on social usage mas
"A called attention TO the fact that
i'm the countries of Europe the Ell
quette of the calling card is clearly
laid down by social law; in this coun-
try it is left in the air.
If there were but congress of Gus
tom where some one could go and in
troduce a law setting forth the occa-
sions on which the calling card can
with propriety be used and the occa-
sions on which it cannot be used how
much confusion could be avoided! AS
this cannot be done. we can only do
our best with our calling cards, and
trust to luck and instructive good taste
that we will not break such laws as
there are.
In some sections of the country IL
is customary for newcomers TO make
the first call, and as cards are the EN-
blems Of calls the rules regulating
them can be grouped with those regu-
lating card usage. In most sections
ii is customary for the old resident to
make the first call. In still other
places it is usual for newcomer to
send out at-hOme cards to such per-
sons as she chances to meet and de-
sires to become acquainted with.
1t is usual, however, in most places,
for the old resident to make the first
call. 1t is essential for the person
called on to return this first call or
else run the risk of being called rude.
The newcomer who waits for others
to call on her, no matter where she is,
will do better than the newcomer who
makes first calls where this is not Gus
tomary.
Here are q few hints which should
be observed in the etiquette of card
usage:
