]. WILL ROSS
FEDERAL JUDGE

j. VIII Ross of Jackson, chancellor
of the Eighth Chancery Division, has
been nominated as federal judge of
the Western Tennessee District to
succeed the late John f. Mccall.
The nomination will be confirmed
without opposition, it is expected.
The decision as to Chancellor Ross,
says the Washington Correspondent
of the Commercial Appeal, ends a
spirited though not acrimonious con-
test for party patronage position
for which there were originally nine
candidates.
Chancellor Ross is 43 years of age
and was born and reared in Hardin
County, Tenn. He was appointed as
chancellor by Gov. Hooper in 1918 to
fill out the uneXpired term OF the
late Ernest l.. Bullock of Jackson,
and was subsequently elected to sue
ceed himself.
Chancellor Ross entered the cam
paign for the federal judgeship nomi-
nation as the second choice of the
supporters of virtually all the other
aspirants, fact which proved a
source of strength.

Building Boom is

In is encouraging for good bust
ness and the progressiveness of the
town TO note the several new resi-
dences that are now being erected,
and that are soon to be built Paris
for the last several years has. been
very overcrowded, and the need of
more residences here has been most
keen. If the town is to develop,
as it surely is, there must be more
places for people to reside.
Mr.. Charles Lansdell is planning
to build a neat cottage on Alden
street, just to the rear of his own
residence which faces on Dunlap.
j. A. Richardson is grading prepa-
ratory to erecting a residence on
West Wood street.
John S. Patterson is building
pretty new little home in the new
Lee School Addition, and Jim Nc
Call and Frank Sellars are also
planning new homes to be erected
in the same street in the immediate
future, also j. D. Seawright, and
Jim Crutchfield.

ing houses on his newly purchased

EVERY COUNTY
TO Get LIBRARY
New State Law Will Enable Rural
Communities to Establish
Reading Quarters.

Nashville, Tenn, May 17.-Every
county in Tennessee that wants one,
may now have a county free library
which serves a whole county, just as
a city library serves its city, reaching
every man. woman and child in every
corner of the county.
This is made possible by the new
county library law that was passed
by the late legislature in April. 1t
is an enabling act based partly on
the successful methods in operation
in Ohio, Maryland, California and a
number of other progressive states.
1t authorizes county courts to estab-
fish county libraries for all communi-
ties not now served by Il public
library.
The main, or central library, in
most cases is located at the county
seat, the largest city, or the town
with the largest public library.
There are branch libraries or read
ing rooms in all small towns, and
collections of books in all the viii
lagos and rural schools. The farm
jewellers are not overlooked; they
are served, in many instances, by
book wagons and motor trucks con-
tanning shelves of books. resembling
the R. F. d. mail wagon, sent out
through the county from the main
library and stopping at farm houses
to fill requests for books and to col
!ect those which have been read,
II farmer sends a postal card to
the county Libraries, the books he
wants will be sent to him by parcel
post.
Such a library is established by
the citizens of county, on their
own initiative, following certai.
simple requirements of the law. An
inquiry for information &ddressed to
JOHN Trotwood Moore, State Libra
rian, Nashville, will bring a prompt
response.

DELCO FEATURE
DISPLAY HERE
New Plant That Sells for 1926 Is
Being Shown Here BY
Dealer Cole.

Announcement Is made this week,
by o. K Cole, local Delco-Light
dealer, of a Delco-Light plant just
added to their line. This plant sells
for s$295.00, and is complete cleo
trio plant, with air-cooling and other
Delco-Light features
1t is pointed out, by the local
representative, that with this new
Delco-I4ight plant available, it is
now easy for every farm home to
have electricity, for furnishing cleo
trio lights and for running small
motors.
To those of us who used to knew
farm life as it was lived, Without
the modern conveniences that farm
homes know today, it is interesting
to observe the spread of electric ser
vice and the influence it is exerting.
Today with the individual electric
plant at hand, and with a dealer
in every county to install it, electric
ity can be enjoyed in any home,
from the modest cottage up to the
largest farm, ranch or plantation
home. Even small towns are getting
their electric lighting from these
larger home electric plants.
Prices on electric plants, like other
things, says Mr.. Cole, have shown
marked reduction recently and this
new Delco-Light, at $295.00. he all
Wses, is In accord with the policy
of his company to furnish its pro-
ducts at the lowest prices that are
in keeping with the unquestioned
quality and dependability that many
thousands of owners have found
from personal experience with the
plant he sells.

Following is a clipping from the
Mayfield Times OF last Friday, OF
local interest to the many friends OF
the Stewards here
eff the untiring efforts of his
father and his friends are awaiting,
Turley Stewart may become a free
man, for efforts are being made in
his behalf to get the governor to
grant a pardon to young Stewart,
who at the last term of circuit court
was convicted on grand larceny
charge and given a sentence of one
year in the penitentiary.
-. L. Stewart, father of the pris-
oner, one of the leading citizens of
Henry County, Tennessee, circulated
petitions asking for a pardon for his
10y and many Mayfield citizens sign
ed the plea. 1t is known that the
governor is investigating the case
and that he is in touch with local
Republican leaders about the matter,
evidently striving to see how the
community would take the matter
should a pardon be granted.
THE crime for which Stewart
stands convicted was the taking of
an automobile, the property of Stay
den Covington from the garage of
Boswell-Smith. The car was cap
tured in Tennessee and Stewards
father paid all of the damages
The jury was out for number of
hours and then gave him the mini
mum sentence He was also indicted
on charge of breaking into the
garage. but was not tried on this
count.
Since his conviction Stewart has
been incarcerated in the county Jail
where he is making the best of mat
tiers. His father. who intends to

Interesting Screen
Slides of Schools

Parents and others were delighted
with the picture slide views of At
kins-P Porter and Lee School pupils,
which were displayed to them in
sixty odd slides, at the know Your
Schools Night at the Dixie Monday,
and it is more than possible that a
more personal and active interest in
the activities of the schools on the
part of the parents, will result from
having seen such realistic pictures
of the mental, physical, and dental
tests, the school play grounds, field
day, class room, ETC., as We're then
shown.
Some parents, it is feared, do not
appreciate the forward strides that
our city schools are making, the
active work of the Parent Teacher
Association, the efficient manage
ment of the school head, nor realize
what help all of them could be in
affording better educationar advant-
ages in Paris for their children.
