any saying, "You see what we let gel
away" They had no idea any Re
publican could win and thought they
were putting something over on Mr
Clouse in giving him the nomination
but they overlooked the fact that he
was from Cookeville, and that com
bination could not help but win, es
pecially in this Republican year.
AS stated above, If we had to have
Republican, Wynn Clouse is our
choice and il there ever was a pro.
per time to be represented by a
Republican, this is the time and
place. A Democrat will have very
little showing in the coming Cong.

have one of the Republican persua-
sion at this particular time and we
are glad that the plum fell to ou
townsman Mr.. Clouse has great op-
portunity to help his district, and we
believe he will do his best.
Cumberland River should be lock-
ed and damned to the head of navi-
cation. 1t has been neglected main
ly on account of being in the South
and in Democratic territory. A great
highway should be built, throughout
the district, and these are some of
Mr.. Clouse's promises. Our RehabiIi-
tation School needs additional appro-
priations and various and divers op-
p0rtunities are open to our new
Congressman. We, of course, think
it is his last, as well as his frs.
term, but that is not going to be his
fault, therefore, let' get behind
him and help him put over the
things he has promised and that we
so badly need in this section.

DEATH OF A
BELOVED WOMAN
MRS. MIGNoN BROWN MAY BUR-
led HERE YESTERDAY

The friends OF Mrs. Herbert May
nee Miss Mignon Brown, Of Wash
ington, D. c., who remember her as
one of the most charming and beau.
tiful girls that Cookeville has ever
entertained, were shocked to learn
of her death from an operation in
Washington, Friday evening. Jan. 20,
Mrs. May was the wife of Captain
Herbert May of the U. S. Army, who
is now stationed at Birmingham,
Ala, and the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Josh Brown, formerly well
known Cookeville residents, who now
live in Washington. She was the
niece of Mrs. Mary A. Staley and
Mrs Tina Yeargan, and had been a
welcome visitor to Cookeville since
her parents had left here in her early
girlhood. Her sister, Miss Daisie
Brown died many years ago, and she
leaves beside her parents, husband
and relatives, an only brother, Bailey
Brown Of Washington, to mourn her.
Capt. May had recently accepted
an appointment in the army that
would take him to the Hawaiian Is
lands, and Mrs May was very en-
thusiastic over the prospect of work
in new fields. She went to the hos
pital, as it was thought, for a very
simple operation, but which proved
to be a very serious one. and of such
length that she could not rally from
the operation which was performed
Thursday, passing away on Friday
evening.
Her body was brought to Cooke
vile for burial beside that of her
sister and other relatives, and a sim
pie but beautiful service was held at
the Methodist church ON Wednesday
afternoon with Rev. A. P. Walker Of
ficiating. The honorary pail bearers
were: Drs. ]. f. Dyer. J. B. s.. Mar.
tin, and H. C. Martin, John B. Dow.
Jere Whitson, A. Algood, H. Algood,
and J. w. Richardson. The active
pail bearers were, John J. Gore, Her.
bert Shanks, w. M. Shanks, C. N.
Gracey, e. H. Boyd, Quimby Dyer, T.
d. Ford, and DR.. C. Martin.
Jesus Lover Of My Soul" Rock
of Ages" and abide With Me-" were
beautifully rendered by the choir and
organ, with Mr.. Richmond at the or
gan. Exquisite flowers were the
testimonial from friends of the low
ing remembrance in which Mrs. May
Minnie Brown-was held by her
friends in Cookeville and other
towns, and the deepest sympathy of
the entire community is extended to
her bereaved husband, father, moth
or. and brother in this great sorrow,
and especially to her husband, who
will very soon go upon the journey
they had planned together-alone.
