Mr.. and Mrs. G. C. Sprague went
over near Flora Tuesday to attend
the funeral of Mrs. T. J. Gardner,
who died Monday night of an i'll
ness of long and painful duration.
Mrs. Gardner will be remembered
here as Miss Clara Mulhollan, and
later Mrs. John Townsend. She
was the eldest daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Mulhollan,
and was one of the most beautiful
and popular girls of this town 80
years ago. Mrs. Gardeners remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery
at Flora, a large concourse of sor-
rowing friends being present to
pay their last earthly tribute to a
noble woman and friend. The SER
vices were conducted by Revs. DR..
H. M. King and Hull, of Jackson.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
husband and 5 children, three girls
and two boys.
A mad dog on the streets caused
great CONSERVATION for awhile
yesterday afternoon. The animal
was finally killed by H. c. Wash
burn, near the graveyard. The dog
was black shepherd, about a
year old, with white legs and
stomach and white tip on tail.
The dog was strange one in this
part of the country and had evil
IDENTITY come long ways. 1t was
biting and swapping at everything
it came in contact with, biting a
number of dogs in town. 1t would
be we'll for everyone to be sure
that all dogs and other animals
in it's path be properly dealt with
in order to keep them from devel-
oping hydrophobia. Mr.. Wash
burn carried the dead dog TO jack
son, and test made by DR.. Stin-
gily, state bacteriologist, revealed
the fact that it was in the last
stage of hydrophobia. Every pre-
caution will be taken by Mr..
Washburn to prevent his dogs
from developing the disease. He
telegraphed to New Orleans for
the Pasteur treatment for them,
which is said will prevent the
development Of hydrophobia.,

No. Of the HyIan platform promises
to Demand that the people shall control

their own behalf unhampered by legisla-
tive interference"
WAS this man Friday Hylan trying
to conduct the city administration free
from legislative interference when he
told the teachers seeking aid from the
city, to go and get other Jobs? Did he
not realize he would bring down on his
head a mandate from Albany command
ing him to do his plain duty and grant
the teachers of our city living wage?
1T demand that Hylan either answer
these accusations or withdraw his plat
! form as a tissue of lies. How does he
! expect that we can credit his 1921 prom
Ises, when the record or his failure to
keep his 1917 promises stares US In the
face? Does he think We are so easy?
Who wrote his platform anyhow? The
same man who wrote the 1917 plat
form?
NOW let me tell you this. make

FIVE CENT FARE BUBBLE
BURST, SAYS LYONS

ran Headquarters.

1.-THE cent fare bubble has burst
and this leaves Hylan without leg to
stand on" declared John ]. Lyons man
ager of the coalition campaign, arter
checking up the reports of his workers.
Test borings made In the different
borough since Sunday bring US the most
cheering news"
Mr.. Lyons said he was amazed at the
display of Hylan money that had been
brought into evidence In the last few
days. All the billboards and circular
advertising, the millions of dodgers and
circulars, all cost money, he pointed out.
I'm all my years in New York l have
never seen anything like It, Talk about
a moneybund. The people see all this
wild jan1boree of money and wonder
where it Is all coming from In these
hard times. But all the money in the
world is not going to save Hylan this
time"
1.-THE wiclSedest bunk of the Hylan-
Hearst campaign" Is the way Borough
President Curran characterized the
statement OF Comptroller Craig that
taxes would be lower next year. THAT
statement is absolutely false and Craig,
who does Hylan's talking on finance,
knows 1t. The camouflage consists in
talking about the tax rate and saying
nothing about the increased assessments
1t is possible that the rate Will be
lower"

Chorus Girls Are Scarce

Morris Gest, producer of musical
comedies, has had the surprise of his
life. Four new musical productions
written for big cast and elaborate
staging are being prepared to tour
the country this fall and winter. Mr..
Gest recently sent out call for
chorus girls to begin rehearsals, and
awaited the usual deluge of appli-
cants from which the most suitable
would be chosen. To the amazement
of the producer only half as many as
were actually needed appeared. Even
the catchy names of the musical
comedies, "Mecca," "Aphrodite," )"
"Chu Chin Chow" and "Afgar," left
the chorus girl world cold and in
different. Stage productions like busi-
ness have been through a dull season,
and apparently the followers Of this
art have found something else inter-
esting enough to hold them in spite
Of the call of the stage. Many of
them, expecting the dull season to
last, may have gone back to the old
home town, where dad and mother
get along pretty comfortably even
when times are bad.

Pastor breaches by Wireless
to Churches Ten Miles

The "choir invisible" has been
translated into the minister unseen"
through the wonders of radio COM
munication, says S. R. Winters in the
Illustrated World. The vacant pulpit
of the Heron Avenue Presbyterian
Church, Pittsburgh, Pa, was supplied
with an invisible pastor recently
when the sermon being delivered at
Calvary Episcopal Church, ten miles
distant, was transmitted by wireless
telephone to the congregation de-
prived of it's regular spiritual advisor.
'The event is believed to be with
out precedent. The Sunday evening
service of one house of worship was
the replica of another and creeds
were temporarily subservient to a
common end.
"a member of the congregation
without a pastor made the suggestion
that radio be tried. This met with
approval and the matter was taken
up with the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company of East
Pittsburgh. Apparatus was installed
and the loud-speaking horn, the kline
used by the President in delivering
his inaugural address, was attached.
