Honor and the Croix de Guerre,
pinned on by Marshal Foch himself.
Spurning movie and vaudeville
offers, he came back to his mother s
hillside farm.
A short time later he married a
girl of the neighhorhood. Friends
and admirers picked out a farm for
him almost directly across the road
from the farm of his mother, and
paid Sl1, 1885 on it through popular
subscription.
For time things moved serenely,
Alvin c.. Jr.. came and life seemed
even more worth living,
But such good fortune was not to
last. Crops were big disappoint-
ment. Farm products brought ex-
ceptionally low prices.
With the $12,5OO mortgage for
the balance on his farm due this
fall, things went from bad to worse.
A $3.50 grocery bill accumulated,
and the grocer seems unable to ex-
tend much more credit. York is
toiling from break of day until the
last lingering of light, to prevent
his life's dream from being shatter-
ed, butit looks like a vain task.
Religious faith sustained me in
my danger and removed my fear,
he says. Il was only a pawn in the
hand of Providence, and any credit
that is due for my achievement
should go to the Lord. He will see
me through

THE INSTITUTE.

Friday, July 10Th. closed one OF
the best county institutes that was
ever held in Morgan County, The
institute ran for two weeks with
Supt, A. B. Peters as conductor, and
Miss Mary Mackinlay of Chattanoo-
ga, institute instructor. The attend
ance was large and enthusiastic and
the personnel was above the average
Miss Mackinlay is a cultured and
all experienced instructor. She has
but few equals in the state in prl-
mary work. Supt. Peters is putting
on campaign for better rural
schools, and the work Miss Mackin-
lay did in the institute was a long
the line of helping the rural teach
ers. All the teachers attending the
institute expressed them selves as
being greatly pleased with the in
struction they received.

THE SHERIFF'S SALARY
NOT RAISED

The report that the Morgan
County Sheriff's Salary had been
raised to $1,000, and which was pub
Iished in the PRESS several months
ago, was false. The daily papers in
reporting the acts of the Legislature
reported that a bill to give the Sher'
iff of Morgan County a raise of
$1,000, Stated the bill had passed
both houses of the Legislature. This
was not true, and how the papers
stated that the bill passed is mys,
terry.
The bill never passed and our
Sheriff wishes the PRESS to pub
lish to the world that he is not get
ting one cent extra for his work. 1t
is a fact that he is not paid enough
for his services. His salary is so
small that he cannot do justice to
