CUMBERLAND PHONE COMPANY
LOSES RATE-RAISING CASE

Nashville, Tenn, July 22.-More
than score of Tennessee municipali-
ties that are seeking to prevent an
increase in rates by the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company in
this State. won the first victory in
what promises to be long drawn
out litigation, when the State Rail-
road Commission denied the motion
of the company that the previous ac-
ton of the commission, suspending
the proposed schedule of rates, be re-
scinded and the higher rates made
effective as of Aug. /.
A motion coupled with this one, al
lowing the company to make bond to
refund any excess collected by 1t
under the proposed new rate was
also denied. The opinion of the COM
mission also embodied its decision
with reference to the motion made by
the protestant that an appraisal of
the properly of the Cumberland COM
pany be made by the commission, and
that the expense so incurred be borne
by that company. The decision was
in favor of the appraisal, but it was
ruled that the expenses be paid
from fund set aside by the commits
sion for such a purpose.
On motion of the citizens who are
resisting the increase of rates pro-
posed by the Cumberland Company,
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company was to-day made
party In the case by the public utili-
ties commission.

Death of ]. E. Cloar.

The death of John E. Cloar last
week at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Ethel Downing, in Union City,
removes another one of the Confed-
crate veterans and well known citi-
zens. Mr.. Cloar had been in bad
health for number of years. His
demise took place Thursday, July 81,
1921, at 1880 pm.
Mr.. Cloar was born near Reelfoot
Church in Obion County November
81, 1914. The war broke out when
he was boy and at the very earliest
possible opportunity he enlisted, serv-
ing some two years or more until the
close of hostilities with Forests
Cavalry. After the war he was mar
ried to Miss Martha Frances Glover,
settling on farm in the vicinity of
| Protemus.
Surviving the union there are
eight children, viz: Forrest, Powell
and Charlie Cloar, Mrs. Anna Hud-
son, Mrs. Biddie Glover, Mrs. Ethel
Downing, Mrs. Dell Knight and Mrs.
Annette Jackson. There are also
sister, Mrs. Joe Isbell, this city, and
a brother, Dave Cloar, of Sikeston,
Mo.
MIR. Cloar was member of the
Baptist Church, probably one of the
charter members of Reelfoot Church.
He was very active in his church du-
ties and took a great interest in the
schools and public affairs of his COM
munity. He was a member of the
Masonic Lodge, and in every way
he stood for the best interests of his
people. He was farmer, one of the
hardy characters of his time, devel-
oping the agricultural industry and
restoring the waste places made by
the Civil War. Mr.. Cloar was de-
voted to his home and family and his
domestic life was true to the best
conceptions. The passing of this good
man calls forth a universal tribute to
his memory.
The remains were taken Friday to
Old Republican for interment. Serv-
ices were conducted by Rev. Waters,
of Jackson, assisted by Rev. Niece
hee, of this city.
