FRIDAY. MAY 20, 1921
MEMORIAL DAY

The near approach of Memorial
Day, set by President Hardins's
proclamation for May 30, as is
usually the case, brings to mind
the fact that the United States as
q whole ought to make the celebra.
zion Of the day that is dedicated to
the honor of those who have laid
down their lives in the service Of
this e6Gntv ali especially memoir
able one this year, There will not
be many more times when we
shall have the privilege of seeing
United Confederate Veterans,
members of the Grand Array of
the Republic, Spanish American
War veterans and the men of the
American Legion march side by
side in parades of any sort, and
we should take chance while it is
yet ours to do the occasion every
honor.
The celebration of Memorial
Day offer us an opportunity to see
brought into play every worthy
emotion and feeling of patriotic
zeal, and we should take the time
and the interest to revive in our
hearts every one of them. The
scenes that may be witnessed yearly
rs the ceremonies of Memorial
Day are observed offers US also a
splendid opportunity to think of
the ability this country has shown
to be truly a United States of
America. Gone is the bitterness
that once prevailed between North
and South or East and West, and
it is an inspiring thought that we
can come to the privilege of paying
tribute to our soldier dead in the
knowledge that we have the boon
of living in nation that is truly
and in every sense united. Nash

Monooose In Trinidad.

The mOngoose was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose of Kidding the island Of
both rats and snakes, but at the pres.
ent time 1t is itself considered a very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
ductiOn of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years,
chiefly because of the ravages of frog
hOppers, since the lizards, which for.
merly kept them In check, are being
extermln6ted by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners IN Trinidad pay
a shilling head for every mongocse
destroyed on their estates, and many
thousands are destroyed every year
without any attempt being made to
save the skins. Consul Baker, there

goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States,

BOUND TO COURT
ON UGLY CHARGES
Messrs. Sneed, Coleman and
Scates Given Preliminary
Trial Monday

Quite a unique trial was bad in
the circuit court room last Mon
day. Missrs Mike Snead and
Wash Scates. of Mckenzie, and
Ed Colman of the Nineteenth
district, were charged with trans
porting whisky and the hearing
was before Commissioner A. M.
Lee on the federal charge and be-
fore Justices L. A. Hurt and j. T.
Bi0gart on state charges. Both
hearings were bad at the same
time, the same evidence applying
in both courts.
They were bound oyer to the
federal court in a bound of $500
each and they were also required
to give bond in the sum of $500
each to wait the action of the
grand jury at the next term of the
circuit court. They had no
trouble in making their bond.
These parties were found near
Terrys' a few Sunday mornings
ago with their car stuck in a mud
hole and it is alleged that they had
quite a lot of whisky in their pos
session. The defense did not put
any witnesses on the stand and no
intimation was given as to what
their defense will be in the higher
court.
