DR.. J. A. Shirley
Answers Call

After having been confined TO his
home and the greater part Of the
time to his bed for the past sixteen
months, DIR. J. A. Shirley died Sat
urday evening, January 28.
He had passed his 18th year on
December "a. His wife was Miss
Laura Wilkerson, deceased, sister
of Mrs. Jesse Hunt. DR.. Shirley is
survived by two daughters, Mrs.
James Shropshire, of Fayette coun-
ty, and Miss Florence L. Shirley, Of
this city, besides two grandchildren.
A prayer service was held at the
late home Monday morning, conduct
ed by Rev. B. W. Trimble, after
which, at 2 O'Clock p. m, the. body
was conveyed to the Christian
church, of which he had long been
loyal member, where funeral SER
vices we're conducted by Rev. Clyde
Darsie. The Knights Templar then
took charge and he was buried with
their honors. The large crowd, the
rare floral offerings were tributes to
the memory of the man close to the
hearts of the people.
DIR. Shirley practiced at the Levee
/, and at Grassy Lick and had been a
leading practitioner for nearly %
years. He had served on the school
board, as an official of the Exchange
Bank Of Kentucky, as health officer
of the city, as elder of the Christian
church and in all these capacities
he served well. In his dealing with
men DIR. Shirley was tender of heart
and sympathetic. Measure him as
you may, he reached the standard
of the admired gentleman. DIR. Shir-
ley will always be remembered as a
useful, kind-hearted man and cit
izen of great worth.
In respect to his memory circuit
court and the city schools adjourned
for the funeral. In the passing of
this good man Mt. Sterling has lost
one of her most popular and noblest
citizens, memory of whom will for
ever live in the hearts Of his count
less friends, relatives and business
associates.

121,745 Pounds
Delivered First Day

The local market opened in this
city yesterday and the growers and
officials Of the newly formed mar
keting association are alike, highly
elated over the results. During the
day 121745 pounds were delivered,
ON which an advance was given OF
s10,215.53, or an average Of $8.4O
per hundred. The new system work
ed smoothly and everyone seemed
well pleased, many growers being
heard to remark that this years ad-
vance would amount to more than
they received for last years entire
crop. Advances received on individ-
ual crops ranged from 6 to IL cents
per pound. While the local market
only registers to receive tobacco
four days out of the week, Friday
and Saturday will be known as
"clsan up days" and much work will
be dispensed on these two days. 1t
Is expected this market will handle
something like 100000 pounds per
week.
The "turning loose" Of between
$4,000 and $50,OOO per week will do
much to relieve conditions in this
city and county and business is ex-
pected to show Q decided improve
ment within short time. Not only
viii local mercantile conditions be
improved, but the prices being ad-
vanced on the weed are expected to
have tendency to stabilize the price
of farming lands.
AT the present time there seems
lkAtle doubt but that the "Big Four
Tobacco companies viii take the
present crop, and that at fair prices
One of the most noteworthy COM
parsons of this years crop with
that of last year was that of Isom
Osborne's. Last year Mr.. Osborne
sold $500 pounds for 1894, while
yesterday he delivered 5000 pounds
on which he received an advance of
$685.. 1t does one good to visit the
warehouse and note the optimistic
spirit Of the growers, which is bound
to have a tendency toward increas-
ed business activities in all lines.

Discard EmperOr's
Favorite Stamps
by Associated Press. }

Berlin-0ne of the last remaining
symbols of the old regime in Germany
will pass away with the withdrawal of
all postage stamps of the familiar
"Germania" type on October 81 next.
This striking design, first adopted in
1900, played a measurable part in fos-
tering the militarist movement thar
brought disaster upon the Fatherland.
The original o. the nlail-clad figure
of Germania was Fraulein Anna Fun
ring, of the Imperial Opera, whose
portrayal of the role 80 impressed
the former Kaiser that he ordered her
likeness to be placed upon the new
postage stamps of the Empire.
Since the establishment Of the Re-
public numerous protests have been
lodged against the continuance OF this
design, and now that the new indus
trial series of stamps has been com
pleted, instructions for its suppression
have been issued

police officers in those cities to aid him
in his search for her and reports from
these, cities declare that he was just
as insistent as he was in Kenosha that
the young woman, had been in these
cities. 1t is said that he has also been
heard from Oshkosh and Beloit.
1t is certain that Mrs. Marshall" is
not teaching in Kenosha and local off
Gals feel convinced that no teacher is
in the Kenosha schools, hiding a skele-
ton in, the closet. The more the local
people hear of Marshall" the more
they are convinced that the man is
slightly demented.

Wipe OutDisease
Among u. S. Herds

St. Louis - Complete eradication of
tuberculosis among cattle is a pare
teal possibility, DR.. j. A. Herman,
chairman of the International Tuber-
colusis Committee and connected with
the Department of Agriculture, declar-
ed here today before the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
DR.. Herman placed before the con-
vention showing chat cattle infection of
this character has been greatly reduc-
ed and is now comparatively light.
''In 81 states. comprising 1862 per
cent Of the area of this country and
containing more than 40 per cent of
the cattle of the country, there is less
than one per cent of tuberculosis, !"
said DR.. Herman. "The livestock own
ers in those states have decided that
the disease shall be eradicated. In this
area there is such an active sentiment
against the plague that it does not
seem too much to expect that within
10 years it will be entirely eradicatcd
or reduced to a minimum.
"Inasmuch as it has been demonstrate
ed that bovine tuberculosis may be
eradicated from an individual herd or
group of herds or from all the herds
within a circumscribed area, there is
no reason to believe that the cam
paign inaugurated in 1917, will be
abandoned until it is wiped out in
every county in the United tates,"
DR.. Herman called attention to the
rapid progress that is being made in
many states where there is a high per-
centage of tuberculosis.
From July 1, 1917, to June 80, 1885,
600 tuberculous cattle were destroyed
in this country. When the campaign
began it was thought by some persons
that the destruction of so many cattle
would cause shortage of dairy pro-
ducts and cause alarm among con-
sumers. But this has not been the
case. The per capita consumption of
milk has increased and the number
of milk cows increased $4,000 head
in 1921.

Scientists Find
Stone Writings
fBy Associated Press j

Belfast-The site of one of the
earliest Christian monasteries in Ire
land has been found at Mahee Island,
Strangford Tough, near Belfast. The
ruins have been identified as those
of Nendrum monastery, mentioned
in Muircha's Life of st. Patrick's,"
written before 699 A. D.
Extensive excavations have been
carried out and valuable material, in
Guiding some stones with writing, the
exact meaning of which has not yet
been ascertained, have been unearth-
ed. Some of the writing are believed
to be of Danish origin.
In Gede's Ecclesiastical History" it
is recorded that in 634 Pope Honorius
wrote to certain bishops of the Irish
church about the Paschal controversy
and Pelagian heresy, and one of the
bishops mentioned in this letter is
erroneous, bishop of Eendrum. The
island of Nendrum was afterwards
named Mahee, after bishop of the

second, if plans being formulated by
the athletic department of the univer-
sity are carried into effect.
A motion picture camera recently
presented to the university by alumni
and local business men is to be fitted
with a slow motion attachment. which
will make it possible to project the
movements of an athlete on the screen
very slowly so that they may be an
alyzed and copied by others, it was ex-
plaind today.
BY filming the work of athletes who
develop ability beyond the average, the
department here expects to build up q
library covering every phase of ma
ior sport. The "Bob Simpsons" the
"Chuck Lewises" and the "Brutus
Hamiltons" of the future are to be the
stars of these "Tiger" films.
The gift of the motion picture cam
era is direct result of the filming in
recent years of outstanding events of
the school year, with the Missouri
Kansas football game as the main fea-
ture, and showing the reels before
alumni associations over the state, and
some cases in other states. Two films,
tThe Tale of the Tiger" and ain Tiger
Town." have been released.
To produce these films, motion pic
ture camera and operator were brought
to Columbia, and the alumni decided
that it would be cheaper for the uni
versity to own the camera. The gift
was accepted by President ]. C. Jones
who will appoint committee to de.
termine what events shall be filmed.
