Gen. Jas. Garrett and Golf.

1ne LOUISVILLE Hines o! reCeu'
date had an article on the game Of
golf and the wide birth Geh. Garrett
had given this pasttime until after he
visited picture show and saw the
game played on the screen, He had
looked upon it as time killer, but
after witnessing the strokes upon the
screen he concluded that it was scien-
tific and healthful and his mind was
at once made up to join club There
was move on foot for new members
on Cherokee road. and the General
signed. Here is what the Times says
of Mr.. Garnett's first experience:
The cinema has caused the downfall
of great many persons and been the
cause of many a heartbreak due to
ambitions which we're never realized.
Judge James GARRETT is the latest of
these victims The Judge, who is es-
sentially a most intellectual person,
has always looked down from his 10.
Wan heights with the utmost scorn
on the game Of golf; in fact, he has
always regarded the royal and ancient
pastime patronizingly, indulgently, as
the harmless sport of feeble minded
old buffers who have otherwise lost
their usefulness in the scheme of life
This was the Judges attitude up to
a few days ago, when he attended a
local movie show where an unusual
golf picture was exhibited, and he
then became thoughtful and decided
that there might be something in it
after all. The more he thought the
more determined he became to play
golf himself. To keep secret the dis,
graceful depths to which he had sunk,
he crept forth at dawn to the links,
dragging hitherto scorned and lowly
golting friend to witness how he could
play golf after being shown how by
the movies.
Greatly to his surprise, after sever.
al healthy swings, the ball was still on
the tee; few more violent lunges re.
suited in gain Of about ten yards.
Everything was not so simple as it
seemed after all; in fact, Judge Gar.
nett's card read 15-12-11-l8-and then
he ceased to struggle. However,
while his ambitions to play like the
man in the picture have been temper
arily crushed, he now regards golf
with great deal Of respect and gives
as his reason for not being able to do
it just right at first that his muscles
have not yet learned to coordinate
ana junction In the proper manner
The fact that he has discovered an
alibi so early in the game is most
hopeful symptom of the Judges fu.
ture.
The Adair County News has known
Gen, GARRETT all his life and in games
he has at all times been extra good,
but when he was small lad, about
six six years old, his favorite amuse-
ment was sticking pins. At all gath
erings he took a front, seat, having
the lapel of his coat we'll supplied with
the sttckers. When the assembly was
dismissed, he started out hurriedly, a
pin in each hand, and he never missed
a man, but he often heard words 9TH
er than those used in a Sunday school.

Tigris in the very center Of the river
