This Grower

When J, NJ. Moore brought his to-
baeeo to one Of the receiving houses
yesterday, other growers began "a
sit up and take notice. When Messrs
Dunlap and Blanks got through grad.
ing il, they also sat up and took
notice. They didn't stop at that
they took their hats of to Mr. Moore
and told him It was the best graded
crop Of tobacco they had seen this
season and congratulated him hearth
~ and pointed out to the large crowd
the Importance Of proper grading.
Mr.. Moore comes from a tobacco
section Of the county where there
is much rivalry among the neighbors
as TO who will receive the highest
average. Mr.. Moore received an adj
vance Of rs cents on his crop Of a.
400 pounds and his neighbors will
have to 20 some to beat or even
equal this record.

DAVID RANKIN
Dies Suddenly At His
Home Near Marcellus

No death that has occurred in Gar
rard county in many years has 20
shocked the community as did the
death Of David Rankin at his home
near MareelIus last Sunday morning.
When the news was heralded thru
out this and adjoining counties.
many were made sad. for all realized
that in his death the county had lost
one Of It's most popular and substanti-
al citizens. Only two days before
his death he was mingling with
friends in Lancaster and seemed in
the best Of spirits as well as in his
usual good health. He had gotten
up Sunday morning and as was his
custom had made the fires. Just as
he was in the act Of returning 20
his bed, he was seen TO gasp for
breath and his wife assisted him ia
his bed, where he passed away in
just few minutes, from a cerebral
hemorrage.
The sudden shock 20 his devoted
wife and children is almost unbear-
able and they have the deepest sym
patty Of all friends in their sorrow.
Mr. Rankin was born in Wayne
county in 1867 and was in his 55th.
year. He Is survived by his widow,
two girls and one boy and leaves
eight brothers, seven Of whom were
in attendance at his funeral, one
brother, J. NJ. Rankin. being now
quite III al his home near Hubble.
II was the first death among the
nine brothers. all Of whom are resi-
dents Of Garrard, Lincoln and Boyle
counties.
Mr.. Rankin was a devout member
Of the Methodist church at Bryants-
vile, where the funeral services were
conducted Tuesday morning, by Dir.
Jones, assisted by Rev. Conant, Of
Asbury College, wilmore. Inter
ment followed in the Danville Gene

called mass melting Of the eiti-
zens Of Garrard county to meet in

cided 10 get the sentiment Of the

$4,000 and now il is proposed by
some that $4,000 worth Of these
bonds be sold and the money applied
TO the road from Kings Mil to Lam
caster. and from the end Of the re-
Gently constructed road on the Rich
mond pike on into Paint Lick.
There has been some question as TO
whether any part Of this money can
be used for this purpose, and IL 80
the question has been raised wheth-
er any Of the bonds can be sold, IL
purchaser knows beforehand for
what purpose they were voted.
Judge Treadway and the Fiscal
Court want the sentiment Of the peo-
pie on this subject and IL 10 hoped
that many viii attend this mass meet
ing Feb. 18TH. when il will be
discussed fiOm every angle.
Come TO this meeting and show
