CONVICTION MAN LOSES
PROPERTY IN MEMPHIS FIRE

Mr.. W. Townes Boyd lost a ten
room apartment house at 675 Ponto-
toe street, Memphis, last Saturday
morning by fire.
The house was a large frame
structure and the fire had gained
considerable Roadway before it was
discovered. The fire department did
excellent work in controlling the
flames and confirming the fire to
the one building.
Two women, Mrs. LYDIA Newman
and Mrs. Velma Simmons and the
latter's two children, Nellie and
.Juanita, lost their lives in the con-
flagration. Other occupants Of the
dwelling escaped with but light
wearing apparel and made narrow
escapes from being overcome with the
binding smoke, which rapidly filled
the rooms and halls.
The origin Of the fire is unknown,
though several theories have been
advanced as to the cause. The loss
was practically covered by insurance,
there being S4,70O on the house and
$500 on the garage adjoining.

QUARREL CAUSES BLoODsHED

A young negro about 18 years Of
age by the name Of Gaines shot
Boney Wright, another negro, living
in Lauderdale county, about one and
one-half miles across the river from
Rialto Friday. 1t seems that Gaines
was in Wright's house, whistling
and the elder man commanded Gains
to cease the noise, which the other
refused to do. When leaving the
house Gains, it is alleged. told Wright
to try a shot at him, which the lat
ter did, whereupon Gains ran to his
own home, seized shot gun, ac-
complained by his brother, returned
to Wright's house and shot him
through the heart, killing him in
stantly. Wright was about So years
of age and is survived by his wife
and several children. His remains

WILL NAME OFFICES
HE THINKS USELESS

Gov. Taylor announced Tuesday
that he would prepare message for
the legislature to be submitted when
it raassembles March Z, dealing with
the question Of state offices and de-
partments, with especial reference to
what departments and what offices
the governor regards as unnecessary
and what departments or offices
may be consolidated in the interest Of
economy.
Gov. Taylor refused to specify
what offices he would mention, but
he said that inasmuch as the house
had passed a resolution asking for
such information he proposed to give
his views, and would in all probable
ity ask for survey committee to
make Investigations and suggestions
in fine with his message. He said
he favored a committee composed Of
one member from the house and one
from the senate and he to name the
third member.

YEGGMEN RIFLE ROSEMARK
BANK DEPOSIT VAULTS

Yeggmen last Thursday night
looted every safe deposit box in the
vaults Of the Rosemark Bank &
Trust Company. Every bond, note and
all papers found in the collection Of
boxes was taken by the robbers.
Investigation when the bank opened
Friday morning indicated that the
boxes were rifled after an attempt
to open the money safe inside the
vault failed. A hole more than two
inches deep was burned in the money
safe, but otherwise it was not tam
pered with.
Owing to the fact that no list of
the securities or other papers kept
in the box is available, an estimate
of the loss can not be made.
The yeggmen used blow torch,
and as each box lock was burned
away, the contents were evidently
dropped into a sack or box carried
by the robbers. The entire collect
ion would make a load too heavy
for one man to carry.
Several citizens of Rosemark told
Of seeing strange automobile dr1v-
ing toward the town late Thursday
night 1t was travelling at leisurely
pace, and all curtains were UP. It
turned out of the road and let every
car coming pass, It is the theory
that the yeggmen were in this car.
The outside door to the vault was
burned through and the lock de-
stroyed 1t was then easy work to
pick the inner door and gain access
to the tiers of boxes.
Sheriff Perry, Of Shelby county,
was called soon after the bank
opened, and visited the scene in com
pany with. Burns detective agency
operative.
No cIews were left in the bank
beyond possible FINGER prints.
The robbers evidently went about
their work leisurely, as no one has
been found who heard them. or who
Noticed their presence in the bank
during the ni~ht. Entrance to the
bank was gained through a window.

GET EXTENSION

It will be Of interest to many
landowners in Upton county to know
that taxes will not be delinquent
until on and after May 1, 1921. The
law required the payment Of all
state and county taxes to be paid
before March I, and if they were
not paid on that date they became
delinquent and the,property on which
the taxes were delinquent was Of
fered for sale on June 1. Under the
new law this sale will not take
place until the first Monday in Sep
tember
The Senate passed the bill several
days ago. The House adopted it by
a majority of SO to 8 Just prior to
the recess. and Gov. Taylor signed
the bill on February IL.
This bill. of course, does not an
NV to taxnavers who have already
paid their 1920 taxes, but those who
have not paid their taxes viii have
an extra period Of two months. The
hill in its original form provided
that the first half Of the 1920 taxes
mioht be paid Anril and the second
half July /, but it was afterward re-
constructed and thought advisable to
defer the navment of taxes until
MAY instead Of March 1.

McCLATN's STORE ROBBED

Two negro boys, Jeffries and Cal
win Perry, went to Mr.. j. H. Nc
Claims store on West Liberty ave-
nue. Monday morning about Z o'clock
with four hens, which they offered
for sale. Mr.. McClain purchased
the hens and carried them to the
rear Of the store to place them in a
coop, Calvin going with him, the
other boy stepping out the front,
saying he was going home. When
Mr.. McClain returned to the front Of
the store to pay for the chickens he
found that his money sack had dis
appeared. He called Sheriff Volz
and when the latter questioned the
boys they emphatically denied any
knowledge of the theft. Later the
sheriff found the sack containing
$500 buried under the kitchen of
the home Of the boys step-fathers
Charlie Perry, near Albert Thomas
(coIored) store.
After finding the money, the
sheriff then determined to find the
rightful owners of the hens, feeling
sure they had been stolen also. The
sheriff, with Deputy ]. P. Boshers,
traced the culprits back to George
Bailey's (colored) hen house, there
being tracks around the hen house
that shoe that Charlie Perry was
wearing could have made. Bailey
identified the hens as his property,
as did Ida Taylor, from whom two
az the hens had been stolen.
Charlie Perry was tried Tuesday
before ESQ. ]. II. Walker for the
stealing Of the hers, found guilty
and bound over to the circuit court
under a bond Of $3.50, which he was
unable to give and was sent to Jail.
TIE case of Jefferson Perry for
stealing money from Mr.. ]. H. Nc
Claim was tried Wednesday. He
waived examination, and failing to
make a bond Of $3.50. was bound over
to the circuit court and sent to
iail.

MR.. TOM PULLEN MAKES FIRST
SHIPMENT OF CREAM
Ten Farmers to Ship Cream From

No OversuppIy of Strawberries

The acreage in strawberries is in
creasing daily, with minimum acre
age assured of $50 acres in Upton
county. A price has been secured
by the secretary of the Strawberry
Growers Association for young plants
tied in bundles at $3.50 per 81, 900 at
the point Of distribution here. These
plants are well packed in baskets
Of 1000 plants each, or crates Of
5000 packed in moist moss.
A meeting of the sweet potato
growers of Upton county will be
held in the office Of the county agent
in the courthouse on Friday after
noon, February 10, at 2:30 o'clock to
make all arrangements for the
handling, curing and marketing of
the crop of 1921, which is now TAX
ing on the form of real acreage
and is increasing, as is the case
with the berry acreage.
Mr. Tom Pullen, who lives near
Govington, has started the shipping
of cream, with a number of progress
i've farmers to follow in few days.
In the Clopton community, 10
farmers are making arrangements
for cream shipments. Mr.. a.. r..
Gwinn, dairy expert Of the Illinois
Central Railroad, will assist the
farmers Of this community in the
details of the dairy business. ESQ.
A. M. Moose. Messrs. Marion Roane
and J. c. McLennan will built po-
tato curing houses to help in the
handling Of the 20 acres to be plant
ed to potatoes next month.
Arrangements have been made for
separators for farmers with four or
more cows, who want to ship cream
from any point in the county-no
rooney down; small percentage of
the monthly cream check until paid
for. See County Agent Hollings-
worth for details.
Those who worry about an over
Of berries will do we'll to
bear in mind that at the time Of
shipping Of Tipton county berries
there are only two points in the |
United States shipping to the entire
country. these shipments being made
from Tennessee and Arkansas. and
with approximately 113,000,0O0 peo-
ple in this country to consume these
berries, it will be hard matter to
over-supply by increasing the acre
age in this county. The bigger the
acreage the better the market East
arn buyers will come where they can
buy from one car to a train load
much quicker than where only a
few are produced.
