THE LEGION.

The American Legion has never die
tated to the Government or attempted
to advise them how the money should
be raised to pay the Adjusted Com
pensation (Bonus). However, an ex-
service man has submitted the follow
ing plan for raising the sum Of $685.
600 900 which is the estimated cost Of
the first year:
No 1-50c tax on hoop skirts. No.
2, Csc tax on brown derbiese. No. 8.
1sc tax on mustache cups. No. 4, lac
tax on albinoes. No. 5, 15c per foot

and Mrs. Harding. No. 6, tic Tax on
each golf ball shot into the rough
when playin ggoK with his cabinet.
No. Z. zoe tax per mile for all travel
on the "Mayflower.'
No. 8, $780, 100000 tax on every let
ter he writes for his own or anybody
else's dog.
II is estimated that the above would
raise money in the following amounts:
No. 1,s4.50. No. 2, s7l5. No. 8,
$4S6. No. 4, Sl4.56. No. 5, $27,S54,-

Cleek, 20 years old, is dead and his
brother-i n-law, Tom Sparks, and 9
companion, Silas Martin, are in jail
at Alamo, as the result Of strange
affairs, occurring in the 18th district
of Crockett County Saturday night at
about IL o'clock.

had gone to the house of a negro
farmer for some purpose, and being
attacked by watch dog at the ne
gro's gate. Sparks, according to the
statement drew a pistol and began fir
ing at the dog. He says that one Of
the bullets struck his brother-in-law
by mistake. The bullet entered
Cleek's heart, killing him instantly.
Sunday morning Sheriff Cornell

scene Of the killing in possession Of
a quantity Of mash. A still was also
found in the creek bottom nearby.

J. Watson Young, one of the best
citizens of the West side of Henderson
county, died March 3lst at his home
seven miles Northwest Of Lexington.
He was born Nov. /, 1843, in Hen

who died October 25th, 1878, after
bearing one child, who also died.
His second wife was Miss jamie
Autry, he was married to her Feby.
1878 and she was the mother of two
children-C. Virgil and Mrs. Eugene
Scott, who survive and live at or near
the old home.
Our acquaintance with his was lin
tied, but we have heard him universal
ly spoken of as a good man and excel
lent citizen.
The remains were Inferred last Sat
urday at the Cathy graveyard, DR.. H.
B. Johnston, of the Lexington South
ern Methodist church officiating in
the funeral service.

THE COUNTY AGENTS FUNERAL

The flag on the courthouse hung at
half mast. All the stores in town were
closed from one o'clock till FIVE. The
county agent was dead-was not, in
deed dead. but had passed on to a
higher field of service. His body was
borne down Main street, preceded by

mourning regalia. and followed by a

The county agent was gone. His
work had been criticized, as every
mans work is criticized. He had
wondered. no doubt. if the seed he
had sown in stony and unfertile fields
would ever come TO a worthwhile har
