HERE ARE SOME ATTRACTIVE LENTEN RECIPES AND MENUS
 SUGGESTED BY SISTER MARY"
l cup nut meats 2 eggs
 A teaspoon salt

cup nut meats i 2 eggs
 | A teaspoon salt ! Melt butter and stir in flour. Add milk slowly. stirring constantly. Cook until thick. Remove from fire and add chopped nuts. Add yolks of eggs beaten till thick and lemon colored. Add salt. Fold in whites of eggs beaten with q whisk until stiff. What To Have With Fish When fish is the main dish for din ner it's sometimes hard to choose the vegetables and dessert to accompany it.
 Fish is a concentrated protein food and requires bulky foods to go with it to satisfy hunger. Brown bread rather than white bread. plain, simply cooked vegetables, any salad with a French dressing, and fruit dessert combine well with fish.
 If a sauce is served with the fish plain boiled potatoes dusted with parsley should be used. If the fish Is dry" scalloped potatoes bring the milk into the diet.
 As fish Is rather highly favored an acid should be introduced into the meal to give piquancy. A tart jelly will answer this purpose if salad that contains an acid isn't desirable.
 Menu for Tomorrow
 BREAKFAST - Canned pineapple. fried corn,meal mush, sirup, coffee.
 LUNCHEON Baked macaroni with cheese, bran gems, cold water cookies, tea.
 DINNER-Casserole of smoked sal. mon, plain boiled potatoes, kale. or, ange salad. canned peaches, chocolate cake. coffee ..
 My Own Recipes
 Smoked or salted fish makes a change once in a while In the csun. try salted fish if often the only avail. able kind. Careful freshening does much toward the palatableness of salt fish. Many cooks make the mistake of too much freshening. Salmon needs scalding only to make it ready for use. The fact that fish is not always Salted to the same degree of salti- ness must be considered and the fish freshened accordingly.

PEACE FOR IRELAND.

The following from the pen of our
friend, Mrs. Lillian Perine Davis,
finds welcome space in The Progress:
Terence McSwiney did not die in
vain. With the signing of the Irish
truce terms comes the earthly triumph
Of what the heavens have already
honored.
of all the thousands who have died
for the sake of Ireland his passing
was the one which focused the eyes
and hearts and the prayers of the
world upon his stricken country. His,
let US have faith TO believe, was the
life that is to bring her peace. His
lot, let us pray, is to be the martyr
crowned with the sweet laurel Of not
having been sacrificed in vain.
May the Irish, with the luck Of the
Irish, live to write his name in letters
of gold among the records of a free
and glorious country, big enough to
do anything on earth-ecept whip
the United States.

RETURNED SOLDIER
MEETS TRAGIC END

A most deplorable tragedy occurred
at Luray Saturday, when Jesse Odle,
the 21-year-old son of Joe Odle, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself
with a plow line.
Jesse Odle had been at home but
three or four weeks, coming from a
United States Navy Hospital, in
which he had been treated since last
January. He Unlisted in the navy
about a year ago.
Last Saturday morning Jesse help
ed his father at work for while and
then caught a horse to ride over to
Walter Summers, distance of mile
and half. About noon the horse
was seen without saddle or bride
reins, search was instituted and the
body of the young man was found
hanging from limb Of a tree back of
the field and the doctors said Jesse
had been dead some two or three
hours, indicating that the rash act
had been committed at about 10
O'Clock in the morning. Evidently,
Jesse had climed the tree, tied the
dauble pillow line to the limb, knot
ted the other end around his neck and
jumped off, falling some seven feet,
instantly breaking his neck.
No cause except dependency on
account of poor health could be i'm
agined for causing Jesse to take his
own life.

horton HURT
WHILE ON DUTY.

0. C. Horton, of this place, fireman
on the N. C. & st. L. Ry., miraculous
ly escaped death last Friday after
noon when he fell from his engine
while passing over Hatchie river, 20
miles South of Jackson. He landed in
fish net that had been placed there
by fishermen and remained there for
several minutes. He then pulled him
self to the bank of the river with the
aid of a trout line that had been left
in the river.
The train crew missed Horton and
went back TO look for him. He was
carried to Whiteville and then carried
to the Crook sanitarium in Jackson,
where he has been since the accident.
He suffered double fracture of the
left leg and several bruises about the
head and body. 1t is thought that he
suffered no internal injuries.
The excessive heat is blamed for
the accident. 1t was also several de-
grees hotter on the locomotive than
elsewhere, and when he exerted him
self shoveling coal the terrific heat, it
is thought, caused him to faint.
Had the accident occurred few sec
onds earlier or later Horton would no
doubt have been instantly killed
when he struck the ground. How he
managed to escape striking sections
of the bridge as he fell is mistery.
The fish net broke his fall, but he
would have been drowned without the
assistance Of the trot line in pulling
himself to the bank.

LON SCOTT LANDS ONE JOB.

Washington, July SC. H. Hinkle,
of Hardin county will be the Republi-
can collector of customs at Memphis,
to succeed Geo. P. Woolen, who was
appointed early in the first admins
tration of President Wilson. Mr.. Hin
kle had the backing and earnest sup
port of Congressman Lon A. Scott, of
the Eighth District, whose campaign
he managed in the last congressional
election. When Mr.. Hinkle assumes
his duties there will be two native
sons of Hardin county holding federal
offices at Memphis, Judge ]. Will
Ros being the other.
1t was agreed some time ago that
Congressman Scott was to name the
collector of customs at Memphis,
Congressman Clouse of the Fourth
District the prohibition enforcement
officer and Congressman Brown Of
the Third District, the internal reve-
nue. collector at Nashville.
w. A. Smith, of Lafayette, Macon
County, has been recommended for
prohibition enforcement officer, and
Judge Brewer for internal revenue
collector. There is stubborn fight be-
ing made on Brewer, however, and
his appointment seems to be in doubt,

BOLD ROBBERY NEAR
SC0TTS HILL, TENN

On Wednesday of last week Uncle
Johnny Mooney, an aged Federal
veteran, accompanied by his wife,
went to Scott's Hill and there had
Icashed the pension check of the old
man, who is said to be nearing if he
has not reached so years of age.
The aged couple left Scott's Hill at
not far from noon and when not far
from town, in Decatur county, they
are reported to have been held up on
the road, and at the point of a pistol,
robbed, some say, of $4,000.
Mr.. Mooney was so sure Of recog-
nizing three Of the highwaymen that
he swore out a warrent for the ar
rest of Ed Stanfill, Alvie Heath and
Mckinley Etheredge, and their trial
was set for last Saturday before Esq
Jess Kennedy, of Decatur cvounty.
Sheriff Wright was notified of the oc-
currance not long after the holdup
occurred.
This robbery, if correctly reported,
is one of the boldest ever known in
this section and Henderson county
considers itself fortunate in the fact
that it did not happen within its bor-
ders-by a very narrow margin. The
men who are charged with commit
ting this outrage against the law of
the land and society are said to be
ali young but some of them are mar
ried. 1t is deplorable that scuh a
spirit of thievery exists in the coun-
try.
When the time for trial before Esq.
Kennedy arrived, no prosecutor ap-
peared and we are told that the gen.
eral opinion in that vicinity is that
the old people were paid back the ac-
tual money ($1l2.00) of which they
were robbed--and then some. The
matter remains in a condition that it
cali be investigated before the grand
jury-and in behalf of the law, it
should be.

NUMBER ~
L. s. WILL TURN OVER
MILLIONS TO ROADS.

Washington, July "a real for
ward step toward clearing up the
railroad situation will be taken by the
government shortly, it was stated in
authoritative quarters tonight follow
ing conference between President
Harding and members of his official
family. The government shortly will
begin paying over to the railroads
seven hundred million dollars, which
will be used in getting the lines back
to pre-war efficiency.
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover,
who attended the conference, was to
have placed the decision of the con
ference before railroad executives
here, but as none we're in the city, de-
cision with the railroad men was de-
ferred until Monday. Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, Chairman Clark
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and Director General of Rail-
roads Davis also attended the confer
ence.
'hS ihSttiiB was NdlItu primarily
to consider answering urgent de-
mands of the railroad executives for
at least part of the money due the
railroads from the government. The
executives stated the money was nee
essary to expand the traffic facil-
tiles, which in turn would provide en-
ployment for many thousands of idle
men and in general lend stimulous to
lethargic business.
While no statement was issued by
any of the conferees, it was under
stood the government would soon be-
gin making payments to the roads.
The government owes railrods ap-
proximately $800,000,000, the debt
having developed during the period of
federal operation.

WHO OUR KILLERS ARE.

Has killing passed into the hands
of superior people?" We are led to
this question by reading the current
stories of tragedies in this territory.
Down in Mississippi two men get
into shooting affray and one or two
is killed. One of them is always a
member of an "old and respected fam
ily." Usually both are "leading citi-
zens."
IN West Tennessee when two men
get into a shooting affray invariably
they hail from a prosperous section
Of the country and they are leading
physicians" prominent lawyers"
"well-known magistrates" or Sub
stantial farmers"
We are very generous in these
parts toward our living and dead
shooters. Following these affrays
the town is usually wrapped in
gloom" the correspondent usually
adds line, which we usually omit,
that the unfortunate affair is very
much regretted by our best people"
If our best people" do not look out,
our worst people are going to take
our horns away from them. So far
as the newspapers and correspon-
dents establish the record, killing is
done only by 'leading," prominent" f"
"well-known" and "bets people. -
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The Commercial Appeal editor
should know that the phrases quoted
by him come from the fact that the
daily papers want items concerning
people who are prominent in the
public eye.

ESQ. MATT" HOUSTON PASSES
AWAY,

Samuel Madison Houston, WELL
known citizen of Decatur county, died
last Friday near Parsons, in the
home of his son, King Houston, af-
ter a comparatively short illness-the
first illness in his lifetime serious
enough to confine him to bed.
Esq. Houston was born in Decatur
county, Tennessee, Feby. 9th, 1886
end one Of ! fasa;ly af fear 5cye and
five or more girls. His Wife, who
died several years ago, was Mary
Jennings.
Matt Houston, as he was familiar
ly called, was somewhat peculiar in
disposition. He served his county
long as Justice of the Peace-and
made good one; he was an enthusi.
astic fox hunter, great marksman
a fiddler-as were all his brothers
and sisters-a republican in politics
He told US the last time we saw him
that he had had the "sweeny" for q
few years but that he had never lain
down in sickness in his life. He al
ways averred that he never expert
enced the sensation Of hunger-and il
was just chance if he sat down to
the dinner table when the rest Of his
family were eating the MONDAY meal.
We can testify that he never showed
the signs of sleepiness, for we have
seen him play the fiddle until /
o'clock in the morning land played
with him) and show no sign of
drowsiness.
Among his surviving children is
Rowena, who married G. Sterling Bar
ry, who also lives near Parsons.
He was our friend since we went to
Decaturville in April, 1881, and we
shall miss his unfailing visits, for ne
