POLICEMAN SHOT
AT MILLERSBURG
Marshal Murray Shot In Stomach By
An Alleged Boottlegger
SHOOTER IN THE PARIS JAIL

The latest reports of the Bourbon
county branch Of the Cooperative
Burley Tobacco Marketing Associ-
alton shows that up to the present
time 7,559,9SS pounds of Bourbon's
1921 tobacco crop is pledged to the
Association.
Fifty-seven contracts, represent
ing 1850 pounds of tobacco. were
received at the Offices of the Associ-
alton, in Lexington, from Chairman
Sam Clay, of Bourbon county, which
has already passed the eighty-five
per cent mark in its campaign to
pledge the crop to the marketing
plan of the Association.
Arthur B. Hancock, John Wood
ford, Sam Clay, James M. Caldwell
and VIM. Collins, have returned
from Tennessee, where they have
been engaged in starting the cam
paign. Mr.. Caldwell stated that
the plan had been we'll received by
the growers of Tennessee, and that
he belivede that all the growers
they had visited, would sign the
contract. Mr.. Caldwell said the
Bourbon county men, all prominent
farmers and workers in the drive
that had given Bourbon county
eighty-five per cent of her crop
signed to the Association, had made
a good impression on the farmers of
Tennessee. He said that most of the
tobacco crops in the State were
small. The system of selling is the
same that has been used in Ken
lucky, over loose leaf warehouse
floors, and the result last year was
disappointing and discouraging, as
it was in Kentucky.

Tobacco Market
Closes Thursday

The last sale of the season will be
held on the local brakes Thursday,
when all of the houses will have
sales. All Of the weed on the various
floors will be disposed Of, even il the
sales have TO run over into Fri
day, and growers are urged to bring
in the remainder Of their crop with
out delay. Although the local houses
have lost money this year they have
handled the crop in splendid shape
and have given service second to
none in the state, and while the av-
erage here has not been as high as
some Others taken grade for grade,
it is not believed there has been q
stronger market in the Burley belt,
and the local warehousemen are to
be congratulated on the showing of
the local market, a summary of
which will appear in an early issue.

All Applicants Pass

Announcement has been received
here that T. M. Greene, L. B. Mason,
r. M. Montjoy and J. Fl. Wood, the
four men who took thsnexamination
to entitle them to run for the office
of County Tax Commissioner, had
all passed the required examination
and were qualified under the new
law to make the race for this office.
The first three named are Demo-
Gratis, while Mr.. Wood is a Repub-
lican. Although Mr.. Wood took the
examination and passed, he has not
yet announced for the office and it
is not known whether he will make
the race, as the Democratic nomina-
ton in this county is considered
equivalent to an election, and Re-
publican has little, if any chance.

that Of Miss Daisy Duff Pieratt to
Mr.. John E. Ramey, which occurred
at the home Of the officiating minis
ter, Rev. B. W. Trimble, at his home
in this city at z o'clock Thursday

prise to many friends. The bride is
the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. III.
Pieratt, Of this city, formerly OF
Bath county, and is recognized as
one of Mt. Sterling's most popular
and charming young girls, exceed
ingly popular with all who have been
90 fortunate as to form her ac-
quaintance during her brief resi-
dence in this city. The groom is a
son of John E. Ramey, Of Bath
county, and is a prominent young
farmer, with many friends and rel
atives in this county. Immediately

return will go to housekeeping in

our people, and we have no hest
fancy in advising every citizen Of
the county to use his vote and in
fluence for the proposed bond issue.
The immediate proposition now
before our people affects the Win
chester pike from the Clark county
line to the city limits, the PROPOSE
ton being that the federal govern
ment viii pay one-half the cost Of
construction, the state one fourth
and the county one fourth. It is
believed the same proposition will
shortly be made to this county, rela-
tive to the Owingsville pike to the
Bath county line, and also the Ca
margo pike to the Menefee county
line, and others will probably be in
cluded later on. These roads will be
constructed Of some hard-surfaced
material most likely asphalt, and
the upkeep will be assumed by the
state, relieving the county of this
expense, and leaving us this amount
of money to be expended on the
other roads Of the county.
The building of these proposed
roads would be the greatest step
forward ever made by this city and
county and we propose to use our
every influence to assure the pas
sage of the proposed bond issue by
an overwhelming majority.

Petition Filed Asking $250,oo0
Bond Issue For Roads Election Called

A petition signed by more than
200 land owners was filed with
County Judge Senff yesterday, ask
ing that an election be called for
May 2sth to vote $250,0OO bond
issue for the improvement Of the
roads and bridges in this county.
The petition was signed by the
three County Commissioners and, as
will be seen from statement of the
court on another page has its un-
qualified endorsement. In addition
to the members of the court the
signers Of the petition consisted Of
some of the most prominent citizens
of the city and county and Judge
Senff promptly called the election to
be held on the date specified.
1t is indeed gratifying to The Ad-
vocate to know that its fight for
good roads in Montgomery county is
about to be realized and we whole
heartedly endorse the proposed bond
issue without reserve and firmly be-
lieve the voting of same will be the
most progressive step ever taken by
Montgomery county. Every since
the new State road law became ef-
fective we have urged a bond issue
so that our county would be in a
position to take advantage Of just
such propositions as now confront

wounded D. B. Skidmore near the
home of the former on the Spencer
pike. Five shots were fired, two TAX
ing effect, one in the hip and one
in the arm. The trouble between the
two men came up, it is said, over
Skidmore's attentions to Mrs. Wells,
who was with Skidmore in the car
when Wells opened fire. Wells was
placed under arrest, but released
shortly after, under $500 bond which
was furnished. Skidmore was remov-
ed to his home in this city. His in

DR.. Clark Addresses
the History Club

DR.. Clark, pastor Of the Methodist
church in this city, made q fine talk
upon Citizenship at the Woman's
History Club Rooms Friday after
noon the 18th. We wish that every
man, woman and child in Mt. Ster-
ling could have heard him; we are
publishing a brief sketch Of his re-
marks in order that the influence Of
his words may reach further than
just to the fortunate hearers of last
Friday afternoon. He outlined the
essentials Of good citizenship as fol-
lows: First, the duty Of good citi-
xens to serve on juries faithfully in
stead Of making all kinds of ex-
cuses and leaving this important
arm Of justice to men who are pro-
fessional jurors as well as profess
sional loafers. Second, in regard to
ts.xes-people like ignorant children,
have always rebelled against taxes,
but it is necessary that we pay our
taxes, which are levied according to
the needs and emergencies Of the
times; without taxes the fabric Of
our civilization would disintegrate !;
our personal safety and our proper
ty would be jeopardized-indeed we
would forfeit both. Third, good
citizen keeps the laws, not only just
such ones as it suits his convenience
to keep. BY his or her example
others are led to be conscientious in
their response to and support of just
and beneficial restrictions. A good
citizen, who is an official, will be
faithful to the oaths to which he was
sworn when he entered upon his Of
flee and to the promises which he
made when he solicited election.
Fourth, a good citizen studies the
good of his community.
IF vision is vouchsafed to him
of an Improvement or a movement
of advantage to all, he does not
stifle the impulse, but gives it voice
and furthers its completion with his
own self sacrifice and courage of
conviction. Fifth, DIR. Clark ex-
pressed the view that the call to
military service is to be heroically
and cheerfully responded to and let
t be remembered that the good citi-
zenship is a soldier every day of
MS or her life, and must wear the
Christian armor in order to contend
yictoriously against the "fiery darts
If the wicked" and no town is so
small and insignificant, but that the
,ad citizen is not at work to frus-
rate the efforts of the good. Sixthe
PARTISAN politics, just as in religion,
