ATTENTION EX-NAvY MEN.

Have you thought of the navy as a
profession
Compare il with your job now.
Figure the Navy pay, certainty of in
comes, quarters, recreations, variety
of scene and work, advancement, best
of all, an assessed feature. Death, dis
ability or old age need have no terrors
for the man who wears on his sleeve
the service stripes.
His pay does not depend on any out
side circumstances beyond his con-
troll. He is sure of his money, and
that he will receive more and more as
long as he renders faithful service. 1t
is all practically clear money, Have
you thought while in the Navy, that
you have more spending money and a
better time than you have in civil
life?
Some stay out a while, but always
say, "l'l go back some time" Do it
now. Don't wait years, then say:
"lf | had stayed in, could retire

while still young, and enjoy the fruits

DEVELOPMENT IN
LOCAL TRAGEDY.

There was development in the Han
ma tragedy last week in the fact that
DR.. George A. Brandon, brother of
the woman who was killed by her
husband at 200 o'clock, Thursday
morning of last week, claiming that
he mistook her for burglar, swore
out a warrant against Arthur A. Han
ma, charging him with murder in the
first degree. Deputy Sheriffs Ed. G.
Hooks and Miles T. Little, on last
Saturday morning went to Sardis,
where Hanna had gone to attend the
funeral of his wife, on Friday, served
the warrant on him and accompanied
him to Lexington. On Saturday af-
ternoon Hanna was arranged before
Esq. j. w. Threadgill. Hanna waived
examination, and was put under
$4,000 bond to await the action of the
grand jury. Mr.. Hanna made the
bond
This startling action was an addi-
tional shock to the general public,
who had read the account of the trsg-
edy as it came from Mr.. Hanna,
through his friend, MIR. j. w. Wright.
There are elements of mystery in the
case but Mr.. Hanna has many friends
who believe full investigation will
vindicate him.

BISHOP RAPS HARVEY.

New York, May 29th.-- Bishop VII
liam t. Manning, speaking yesterday
at the American Legion memorial ser
vices at the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, criticized by inference the re-
cent statement of George Harvey, am
bassador to England, that the United
States went into the war solely to pro-
tect herself.
This service, in memory and in
honor of those who laid down their
lives for US, reminds US Of the true
meaning of that great struggle in
which our country was called to bear
her part, and in light of some recent
utterances we need to be reminded Of
this.
I'VE did not go into this war mere
ly for our own protection or for any
low and selfish motive, and no one
who understands the soul of Ameri-
ca, will say that we did. Our men went
into this conflict not with thought
only of ourselves and not with hate or
Ill will toward any, but with calm,
firm purpose as Americans and Chris
tlans to uphold the right, to give their
lives for their own land ard for the
fellow men and women throughout
the world
Bishop Manning said that his
thought was not only of the Ameri-
cans who died in the war, but also
Of the French, Italian and British SOL
diers who lost their lives.

A DISGUSTING SPECTACLE.

The spectacle of committee, sit
ting as a quasi court, taking evidence
as to the dishonesty of Legislators,
elected and trusted by the people to
make their moral as well as financial
laws, is a picture for gods and men.
The average voter must feel COM
plimented at the choice he made of
agents. II has shown that money
came to the Legislature that some
legislators got it. But for every dol
las that is shown there will be hun
dreds that will never be traced. A
bribe-taking legislator is naturally a
liar. The fact that he was smart
enough to be elected proves that he
can cover up his dishonest tricks.
It's like finding a needle in hay
stack to get the evidence on these,
people. Unless detective is employ
d. or some man for the public good
undertakes it, il never will be known.

THE NEW FEDERAL JUDGE.

The elevation of Judge j. Will Ross
to the Federal bench for the Western
District of Tennessee will be pleasing
TO the majority of the people Of the
state who are interested in having a
hich-class, able lawyer, whose record
is without reproach, fill this most re
sponsible and honorable position.
If Republican had to succeed the
late Judge Mccall, no better qualified
man for the position could have been
selected than Judge Ross. He has
served as chancellor Of the Eighth
Division with befitting dignity and
has worn the judicial ermine with
grace.
His election as chancellor in a nor
mally Democratic district testifies 10
the respect in which he is held by his
neighbors and tends to strengthen as
sertions Of his independence in poll
tics which have been used by his
enemies in an effort TO defeat his APP
pointment.
The bar of West Tennessee will re-
gard the promotion of Judge Ross as
fitting reward for one Of its men,
bers who has risen above the average.
IL is rare that one so free from par
tisianship energies from a battle Of
the intensity of that which was wag-
ed by other aspirants for this office
Judge Ross carries with him IN,

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION BANQUET.

| The Alumni Association of Lexing-
ton High School held its annual ban
quet in the dining hall of the Hotel
Lexington, Saturday night, last, from
eight to eleven o'clock-and the occa-
sion will be remembered most pleas
antly by more than 60 graduates and
their guests who were present.
Prof. j. o. Brown, who has been
superintendent of the high school
continuously since the institution Of
the high school in the county with
the exception of the 1890 term,
during which time Miss Fay Houston
was superintendent was general
Master of Ceremonies, was in evi-
dence from the opening to the closing
of the auspicious occasion.
Rev. Fleetwood Ball and W. v.
Barry were on the program under the
head of "Some Observations" but un-
fortunately, the former could not be
present.
There were present the following
representatives of the graduating
classes from the institution Of the
High School and each made happy re-
sponses, when called upon by the
POSTMASTER:
Class of 1909-Mrs. H. A. Powers.
Glass of 1912-Mrs. John H. Wad-
ley and Ernest Montgomery.
Class of 1913-Mel Scott.

Glass of 1921-Elmer Stewart.
The class of 1921, fourteen in num-
Der, was the largest class ever grad
ated from the school.
Last but by no means least on the
program was Judge T. A. Lancaster,
chairman of the High School Board,
who has continuously been a member
of the board and who has always had
an active and abiding interest in the
school and educational interests Of the
Town of Lexington as well as Hender-
son, county. Judge Lancaster, like the
rest, was to make an unprepared talk
on Progress of the High School, and
did not fail to happily rise to the oc-
lcasion
The anenus uas made up Of four
courses and Mine Host John Bryant
and his force were on the spot to see
that all guests were served with
promptness.
The Association was perpetuated
by the election of the following Off
GERS who will serve the ensuing
twelve months and the Association
voted to continue its annual banquets
President, Ernest Montgomery; Vice
President, Miss Alice Undertake;
Secretary, Mrs. H. A. Powers, Secre-
tary; Treasurer, John Pickens.
II. A. Powers, County Agricultural
Agent, was the only speaker of the oc-
casion not on the printed program
and to Mr.. Powers is given the credit
for the introduction of Athletics in
the High School.

WOODROW WILSON'S
,,.,. MEMORIAL DAY. PRAYER,

Washington, May 28.-W Woodrow
Wilson broke the silence he has main
tanned since he retired from the White
House on March 4th.
In Memorial Day letter to the ed
itor of the "Stars and Stripes" which
was published today in that soldier
periodical, he declared that the Amer
ican people "shall not be able to en-
joy the full pride of the days recol-
lections until we have made sure that
the duties that grew out of the war
have been fulfilled to the utmost"
Are we sure?" he asked. "If we
are not, shall we not soon take steps
to do whatever has been omitted?"
The full text of the former pres
ident's letter follows:
Memorial Day has always been
one of our most solemn and thought
full anniversaries when we recall
great memories and dedicated our
selves again to the maintenance and
purification of the nation, but this
year it has added tremendous
significance because the memories
and sacrifices of the great world war
are now among the most stimulating
of the recolections of the day.
"We celebrate the immortal
achievements of the men who died in
France on the field and in the trench
es, far away from home, in order that
both our own people and the people
across the seas might be delivered
from the ugliest peril of all history.
1t is our privilege not only to indulge
in high and solemn pride and grief
for the heroes of that great strug-
gle, but also to rededicate ourselves
to the achievement of the great OBJ
jects for which the war was fought.
We shall not be happy; we shall not
be able to enjoy the full pride of the
days recollections until we have
made sure that the duties that grew
out of the war have been fulfilled to
the utmost"
"Are we sure? If we are not, shall
we not soon take steps to do whatev-
er has been omitted?
Cordially yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"

disposed and considered in no danger.

ago from Sardis, where he had lived

town of Sardis and adjacent county,
where Mr.. Perkins lived a long and
was best known, he was given credit
for possessing all the attributes that
go to make up a good man and excel
lent citizen.

children.

JUDGE ROSS WINS
OVER ALL OPPOSITION

The final curtain went down Tues
day afternoon when the Senate of the
United States confirmed the appoint
ment of Chancellor John William
Ross to succeed the late Judge John
E. Mccall, as Federal Judge for the
Western District of Tennessee.
Chancellor Ross won the fight
against everything, faction or person
that could be induced to enter the
fight against him-and his victory
was a signal one. Not until the nomi-
nation of Judge Ross was sent to the
Senate by President Harding, in the
last weekend, did Congressman Lon
Scott give up the fight, the Congress
man having even prevailed upon the
President to hold back sending the
nomination to the Senate until Mr..
Scott could make another protest
another effort. When the President
did finally send Judge Ross name to
the Senate for confirmation of his
appointment, Congressman Scott
"Threw up the sponge" and congratu-
lated the winner, but is credited with
making the statement that the organ
ization in West Tennessee had been
nicely trimmed-but not one of the
opposition to Judge Ross has ever had
the temerity to say aught against the
splendid ability of the man they were
fighting for reasons which seemed to
be sufficient for themselves.
Judge Ross ought to have great
future before him on the Federal
bench. He is not yet as, is a lawyer
of marked ability and possesses the
judicial temperament. He has always
been studious and has become man
of wide information who has not
strictly confined himself to any one
line of thought and reseorch. He is
disposed to be absolutely impartial
and will hew to the line of duty and
justice. The people of West Tennes-
see are fortunate in securing such a
Judge and some Of the things alleged
to have been against him should have
been amongst his highest recommen-
dations. The Harding administration
will do no wiser act than the appoint
ment of Judge Ross to the Federal
bench.
Just who will succeed Chancellor
Ross as Judge of the Chancery
'seonrts In tha Eighth Chancery nivis-
ion Of Tennessee, is In the hands OF
Governor Taylor. A petition has been
circulated here in the interest Of Hon.
Geo. T. Mccall, but we have never
been informed whether or not Mr..
Mccall would accept the chancellor
ship if offered to him.

DIR. HARRY CLARK DELIVERS
ADDRESS TO GRADUATES

The address of DIR. Harry Clark, of
Knoxville, to the High School gradu-
ating class of fourteen-nine boys
and five girls-delivered in the High
School auditorium on Thursday night
of last week, was notably good and
contained much of profitable ADVICE
to the young men and young ladies
who go from the High School TO
higher institutions of learning or be-
gin the battle of~life on high school
education. DR.. Clark took no text,
but on the idea that the graduates
before him we're seeking the key to
the treasure castle of happiness, he
plead with them not to attempt that
entrance armed with the false keys
which history has shown can not be
depended upon to unlock the strong
hold which contains the coveted treas
ure. He warned them against stak-
ing their hopes on the key of wealth,
the key of fame, the key of social
prestige and the key of Doing as ]
please" He showed that repeated
failures and never a success, in all
ages of the world, condemned the use
of these kys as the means of entering
the Treasure Castle of Happiness"
Then he dipicted the certainty Of
success which comes to those who
base their hopes upon use of the key
of SERVICE TO OTHERS and prov
ed beyond the preadventure of a doubt
that men and women in this world
can only win the goal, of happiness
real happiness instead of the elu-
sive shadow-by unselfish service,
which was the dying advice of the ell
der Booth, the founder of the Saliva
tion Army, to his daughter, Eva,
when she asked him what should be
the future work of the organization
which was restored to the heights
self respect so many men and women
who had fallen to the deepest depths
of degradation.
Mr.. Clark has a pleasing personal
ity, is an entertaining speaker and
while yet youthful in appearance has
had experience which warrants him
in offering advice to those who are
about to launch their lifeboats on the
sea of worthy effect. DIR. Clark is
now an Educational Secretary Of the
Baptist Church Of Tennessee.
