Tabor for cigarette paper and at the
same time reached in the pocket of
the bib to Tabor's overalls and took
out cigarette paper. He reached
into the pocket the second time and
when Tabor felt in the pocket few

AID ASKED FOR YORK
Debt of $500 Coming Due Soon and
He Has Not Means
to Meet 1t.

The movement to raise the $I2,5ot
remaining due on the farm of Sgt. AL
win York, world war hero, is not meet
ing with so hearty response as was
expected. Several of the papers over
the state have taken it up and are ask
ing for donations of one dollar or
more. 1t is especially desired that as
many as possible contribute to the end
that it may prove a gift from the en-
tire state insead of from certain
few individuals.
The papers of Nashville and Knox
willie are behind the movement along
with numerous other organizations
and it will be a matter of greatest
surprise should the effort prove a
failure. In fact, no one expect ii to
fail. 1t should not fail for many
reasons well known to the public
generally.
Any person in this county who may
wish to contribute can do SO by send
ing the mite to the Chronicle or to any
of the Knoxville or Nashville papers.
