NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The American Legion club rooms
under the Peoples Bank are always
open to the public for inspection. 1t
has been evident that some few par
ties have been questioning the nature
of our club, and we take this oppor-
tunity of making public the fact
that it is unnecessary to stand out
side and observe through the win
dows what is going on. We are al
ways glad to welcome anyone who
comes to visit our club, but we feel
that it is no more than right that
they see it all, and not get a window
view and imagine the rest.

in close touch with the Santa Fe,

LIBERAL MEN LOOK WELL,
BUT 1T COMES HIGH

Warren Farmer, who is more or
less of a statistician, was thinking
about what certain trades and pro-
LESSONS made during the year of
1920 in this city, and the barber
business in particular, so he visited
the shops and his final estimate was
about $4,000.
There are six shops in the city,
and at $4,000, well, you can do
your own figuring from there. But
it costs the clean-shaven men of
Liberal $4,000 to look good. Gee,
but they do, don't you think?

 She closed the door. laid the revol- yer on the table beside the sewing bas- ket, crossed the room to the sofa. The Pearlhunter had come out from behind the curtains, admiration running riot in his eyes.
 q wish I knew some waY to tell you" he said, "how proud I am to know a girl like you. I don't know man that could have done 1t. And him the Red Mask! Before you feel like a-a-tailor."
 She looked up at him. tried to smile; the smile was failure. Her lips quivered; her eyes fell. To the Pearl hunters amazement she dropped down on the sofa and burst into tears. He stood shifting from one foot to the other, puzzled and helpless. It was beyond him. He sat down beside her, reached forth his one free hand and laid 1t upon her hair.
 "Why-don't cryi It's-all over nowP
 He drowned in an effort to think of something else to say. But all he could . think of was: Don't cry" and that didn't seem to do any good. He was thinking some very uncomplimentary things about his clumsy and awkward self, when she looked up. The man stared. She was laughing--a nervous little laugh right through the tears. The laugh astonished him more than the tears, but it was an immense re- lief to him, just the same.

 "Well, hardly anything"
 And you weren't afraid?"
 "Not with-you herc.'
 The half-hesitating statement pleased the man--pleased him im- mensely.
 And you're not afraid now?"
 "Only that they might find you. Why should I be?"
 'Then-I must follow him.
 He rose from the sofa. Hat he had none-it was tramped to rags in the dust and dirt of the village under the wide reaching limbs of the oak-but he began hitching together the strips and tatters of his blouse.
 The girl sprang up and faced him.

Her hand went into the folds of her dress. When it came out 1t held the revolver he had cleaned and put in order the night be- fore. She cooked the weapon and ieaped back. The door flew open. The man on the step barely saved himself from sprawling in upon the floor by clutching the door jamb. When he re- gained his balance, he was gazing into the muzzle of very steady and de- pendable looking six-gun. At first flush he actually thought it was joke
 You wouldn't shoot man?"
 His voice had lost it's jaunty assur- ance.

 You know how to find out"
 He knew. He slowly raised his hands. The expression in his eyes might have meant any number of things; first of all, that he bowed to necessity; second, that he would come again. Astonished, mortified, baffled- that, most of all baffled-he doubtless salved his pride with that second thought: He would come again. The girl sensed something of what smol- dered deep in the bold eyes-eyes that a good woman could hardly meet with out dishonor. But there were plans afoot-and she trusted them

PROPOSE CITY PARK
REBUILDING PLANS
Irrelevant Starts Well in Plan
ming a Better and More
Attractive Town

The spirit of enterprise and pro-
gress, which has always character
lied the good citizens of Trezevant,
was not destroyed by the big fire
of last week. 1t begins to look
now like that even a better and
more attractive Irrelevant will
spring up from the ashes of the old.
A plan is being worked out for
the raising of funds and purchas-
ing the building lots on Front
street, where the buildings owned
by w. H. Galloway, A. j. Smith
and Montgomery & Argo were
burned, and donate them to the
city authorities for a city park.
This is a commendable under
taking and one which will add
much to the appearance and at
Effectiveness of the business section
of the town. Citizens are donat-
ing literally to the proposition,
and it is believed it will be a sac
cess.
Those who lost property are
perfecting plans for the rebuilding
of the devastated section, but work
will not begin in real earnest until
final settlement of the insurance
claims. There will be much build
ing by early fall. -
O. G. Sloan will very likely re-
open his brick making yard soon
and burn brick for the rebuild
ing of the business section of the
town.
