In Memory of Auvergne Moore.

Wednesday morning, Feb %
1921, this dear little girl answered
the summons of the messenger wht
cometh sooner or later to us ALL Sh'
was the eldest daughter of S. H
Moore and wife; was born July 5
1903. She leaves mother and father
two sisters and numbers of relative.
and friends to mourn her loss.
We are writing this tribute of love
because of sacred ties now severed
of memories tenderly cherished, ant
hearts touched with sympathy for the
bereaved loved ones.
We weep not for this dear child az
those who have no hope, for althc
she has finished her allotted task in
the conflict of life and the chapter
or her earthly sojourn is closed, her
many virtues and her obedience to
our Saviour's command shall not &c
unrecorded. She made a beautiful
profession of religion in her home
with no one present but her mother.
Early in life she joined the Alamo
Baptist Church and was baptized by
the pastor, l.. j. Crocker.
Auvergne, will be greatly missed
in Sunday school and church service.
She was ever present and willing
worker.
''In my Fathers house are many
mansions; if it were not so, 1 would
have told you. l go to prepare a
place for you, that where l am there
we may be ALSO" o, let this COM
forting assurance come to us, THAT
if our earthly house of this taberna-
Gle were dissolved, we have build
ing not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens"
Let us us so live that when our
summons comes to join those who
have gone on before that we can
fully realize There ISL world above,
where parting is unknown, a whole
eternity of love and blessedness
alone
There is no flock however watched
and tended,
But one dead lamb is there.
There is no fireside, however de-
Tended,
But has a vacant chair"
Written by one who knew and
loved her.

County Register.

We take pleasure in placing the
name of ]. ]. Noonan before the peo-
pie as a candidate for the office of
County Register of Obion County,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Noonan is one of
the most widely known men in the
county, having lived in the county
for twenty-scven years, and needs
no recommendation from us. Yet,
we feel that in placing his name be-
fore the people, we can justly recon-
mend him to the people as being an
honorable, upright, worthy, christian
gentleman and one who is competent
and qualified to fill the office asked
for Should Mr.. Noonan be the peo-
pies choice we feel that he will at
tend to the duties of the office in a
and business-like way.

Memory of liar B. Osburn.

Once more God has has need of 8
beautiful flower and has taken from
our home one that was cherished
by his father and mother and little
w. j. 1t was SO hard to give him ur
and see him no more here, but 1t is
a pleasure indeed to know where he
is and know that we can go to him
some day where parting will come
no more and where all will be peace
and happiness. God will do all things
well to them that love MIN.
Jesus has taken beautiful bud
Out of our garden of love
And borne it away to the city of God,
Home of the angels above.
Full blooming flowers will not do.
Some must be young and ungrown,
So the frail buds he is gathering too,
Beautiful gems for his throne.
Father and mother, weep not or be
Still on the Saviour rely.
We shall behold again and be glad,
Beautiful flowers on high.
Blooming in beauty in Heaven they
are
Blooming for you and for me
Well follow the Lord, though the
city be far,
Till our bright blossoms we see.
Written by his mother.

Matinee Music Club.

| Mdtlnee MUSIC CIuD.
The Matinee Music Club met in
regular session Saturday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Thad. Lee on East
Mill street, an important prelude to
the meeting being the election of of
ficers. The new administration reads
as follows:
Mrs. Thad Lee, President; Miss
Willie Belle Mayes, first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. ]. d. Carlton, second vice
president; Miss Edith Quinn, sec
rotary treasurer; Miss Florence
Bolts, critic; Miss Mary Aletha Bon
ner, press correspondent.
The achievement and maintenance
of high standards is the greatest
stimulus possible to those who follow
after, and to the retiring officers of
the club much credit and praise be-
long, because of their unflagging in
terest and faithful discharge of Off
cial duties. In accepting the club
presidency, Mrs. Lee stressed the i'm
portance of cooperation. The eff
forts, however jealous of an individ-
ual to accomplish the worthwhile
come to naught without the sympa-
thetic support of kindred minds. She
also urged that progress be the un-
derlying theme in the symphony of
club life.
The second period of the meeting
was devoted to a delightful study of
Musical America" The lesson Was
led by Miss Willie Belle Mayes, and
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Though young in the art, America is
lifting her soul in song. Her sons
and daughters have looked upon the
dainty petals of the wild rose, and
breathed the rare perfume of the mar
cissus They have smiled at the elf
ish sunbeam in the land of the sky
blue water, and felt the thrill at
tending a dashing mountain stream;
the Southern negro and wild tumult
from the Indian lodge. With senses
alert they have made artistic appro
priation from the glories of nature
and local coloring of plantation and
wigwam, and to-day, our Edward
MacDowells, our Ethelbert Nevins,
our Charles w. Cadmans, our Mary
Turner Saltes and Margaret Ruthven
Langs are loved and honored where
ever music swells the breeze"

Gen. T. o. Morris came up from
Dyersburg Saturday after a three
weeks session of Circuit Court. Mr.
Morris doesn't see any reason why
the Supreme Court should move its
chambers every few days to every
body's neighborhood. The court is
evidently able to accomplish more
with a permanent courtroom where
there is access to the records at the
Capitol, the State Library, and other
practically necessary advantages.
Pity representative government has
to be burdened with political log roll
ing, where the more densely popu-
lated centers are forever trading for
expensive State institutions. The
State fairs, State Normals, and Poly
technic School are notable examples
of this practice. Somebody, we I'M
derstand, the other day offered a
bill to deed the Polytechnic and Nor
NAL establishments to the cities
where they are located. 1t would be
a Godsend. These schools are popu-
larly referred to as high schools sup
ported by the taxpayers of the State.

VALUE INCREASE
TAXABLE PROFITS
Government Wins In Supreme Court -
Hundreds of Millions In Taxes
Are Involved

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE gov
ernment won yesterday in the supreme
court its contention that increased value
of any capital asset must be considered
in a corporations profits when taxes are
computed.
The decision was given in the appeal
of la Belle Iron Works from a ruling of
tb~ treasury that ore land purchased for
100000 in 1904 must be returned in
the 1917 report at S1O.0O0.0O0. The Opin-
ION yesterday sustained this ruling.
The meaning of the act as TO invested
capital is clear the court said. 1t was
to cover actual cost of property, disre-
garding anything that does not change
the form Of the investment
Hundreds of millions of dollars in eX-
cess profits taxes were involved in the
case which was characterized by a high
government official as the most impOr-
tant legal suit affecting federal finances
to arise in several decades The court
was unanimous in its decision except
that Justice lMcReynolds concurred only
in the result.
Practically every American corporation
Of any size was interested vitality in the
ease. counsel for the iron company said,
when asking the court to expedite hear
ingS in the case. Lumber companies,
steel foundries and individuals joined
with the iron company in the effort to
show that the natural enhancement in
value of the company's holdings could
not be considered profits.
