MUSICALE PLEAsES

On Monday evening a highly ap-
preciative audience at the History
Club rooms enjoyed a wonderful
musicale. Miss Ann Meale, pianist,
and Mrs. Jessie McKim, soprano,
are graduates of the Cincinnati Col
lege of Music, Miss Meale being one
of the faculty. They are most An-
ished artists. Mr.. Charlton was in
his best voice and sang a beautiful
group of songs. Mrs. Walker, So
prano, pianist and organist of Win
chester, was accompanist. Every
tone from piano and voice was a de-
light and charming. Miss Meale en-
tranced all with her wonderful mas
terry Of the new julius Bauer grand
piano as its beautiful tones re-
sponded 10 her touch. Mrs. McKim
has a colourature soprano voice and
sang with spirit and deep sympathy.

Harry King Draws
Four Years in Pen

On December 13, 1921, The Ad-
vocate gave an account Of Harry
Kings forgeries by which he got
away with hundreds Of dollars from
our business men. For his capture a
reward was offered and on January
8 we gave an account of his capture
in the state of Ohio, his return here
and an interview with the captured
man. Yesterday morning the
court room was filed with an anx-
ious crowd desirous to see the pris-
oner who had played a successful
defrauding game on a number OF
our business men, the commonwealth
VS.. Harry King for passing q forged
check on L. NJ Redmond.
The case was the first to be called
Monday morning and both the COM
monwealth and the defense answer
ed ready. King preferred to repre-
sent himeslf and the court aP-
pointees were so notified. The COM
monwealth proved without a shad-
ow of doubt the guilt Of the accus-
ed man and when the defense took
up his own case he was given all
the scope he wanted, laboring to
prove that he had been hypnotized;.
that the checks passed by him were
not his own, but that of the hypnO-
tist and his wife, who had him under
complete control He admitted that
he had endorsed the check and that
he was ready to make the check
good at the time it was passed.
The prisoner claimed a fifteen
minute talk to the jury and in that
fifteen minutes pleaded earnestly
and at times pathetically with the
jury under his claim of innocence
by reason of the grasp of the relent-
less hynotist.
The punishment under the law
for the crime committed is cOnfne-
ment in the state prison for not less
than two years and not more than
ten years. The jury gave the mini
mum penalty of two years.
This morning he faced trial of a
similar charge preferred by John H.
Keller. He pleaded guilty to this
charge and was given an additional
two wears. The other charge against
him has been filed away.

OwingsviIle Visited
By Disastrous Fire

At an early hour on last Friday
morning Owingsville was visited by
the worst fire it has experienced
since 1898. The fire started in the
Service Garage, owned by Oscar
Pullman and Jack Thomas. This
building and all its contents were
completely destroyed, as were a
blacksmith shop and restaurant ad-
joining. Those who suffered loss in
addition to the above named firm
were Wess Harris, E. L. and A. I.
Byron, E. W. Morgan and the Bath
Home Telephone Company. Only a
small amount of insurance was car
ried, owing to the almost prohibitive
rate. Among those who had their
cars destroyed by the fire in the ga
rage were: Allie Coons, Haden Lacy,
Strother Power, c. Schultz, Wash
Belcher, Clarence Power, Mark DON
aldson, James Steele, Charles Snod-
grass and Oney Coons. Few Of the
owners of machines carried insur-
ance. The garage building was own
ed by ]. ]. Nesbitt, whose loss is es-
timated at about $4,000 The total
loss will reach between $4,000 and
$4,000.

After Long Service
Enters on Her Rest

Mrs. Louisa Wilson died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Joe A.
Stephens, on Sunday, January 20,
at 10 80 a. m. of the infrmities of
age. She was past 80 years old and
was the last surviving member of a
family of thirteen children, sister
of the late J. Green Trimble.
She is survived by two daughters;
Mrs. Joe A. Stephens, this city, and
Mrs. Floyd Patrick, of Bates county,
Missouri, and Henry Wilson, Days
boro. The funeral service was held
Monday night at z 80 o'clock at the
home of Joe A. Stephens, on East
Main street, by Rev. B. W. Trimble,
assisted by Rev. Clyde Darsie and
Rev. j. w. Crates. This morning the
body was conveyed to Hazel Green,
where a service was held at the
grave on the arrival of the funeral
cortege.
Mrs. Wilson was native of Wolfe
county, was a resident of this city
for a number of years and was
numbered among our very best
women, a woman of the highest type
of character one who loved her
neighbors and to be neighborly, fond
of the association Of those who
loved God and delighted to obey His
commandments.
She has been worth much to the
circle in which she moved and leaves
an imprint, a worthy example to
those who come after her, She will
be missed in her home and greeted
by those who have passed and en-
tered on rest.

Farm Crops Class
Visits MIR. Palmeter

Last week a class Of boys in
field crops from the County High
School paid a very pleasant and
profitable visit to the home and farm
of R. L. Palmeter, one of Mont
gomery county's good farmers. The
aim of the visit was to make study
of Mr.. Palmeter's methods- of grad
inc tobacco and he was very kind
and helpful in telling Of his methods
of handling the crop in all its stages.
However, the schedule of agricultu
raj classes of the County High
School is so arranged that they
study crops in seasonal sequence;
therefore, they had previously stud
led topping, cutting, housing and
curing of this crop and for the same
reason they are at present making
study of grading tobacco and find
it convenient to visit farmers who
are grading tobacco. Mr.. Palmeter
had about 80 acres of tobacco
grown on his place and they found
10 or II men very busy in the strip
ping rooms. Mr.. Palmeter showed
very interesting example of how
much better fire. cured tobacco was
than that not fre-cured. He esti-
mated the value of the fire. cured at
eight or ten times greater than that
not fred. Although the pupils were
studying tobacco in particular, they
always aim to ask about and look
at other things of interest that the
farmer may care to show. The
schedule is so arranged that they
either have all morning or all after
noon for classes in agriculture and
in this way they can make frequent
trips to study agriculture on the
farm. For example, if the freshman
class has agriculture in the after
noon they have all morning for Eng
ish, mathematics, etc., and when
field trip is not made they study
chemistry, botany, entomology, ETC.,
as they are applied to agriculture.
On Monday they visited the opening
Of the tobacco market. The in
struetors are teaching the boys that
marketing is decidedly the big thing
Of farming.
