Mockabee Montjoy
Takes Own Life

Worry over domestic troubles is
said to have been the cause Of
Mockabee Montjoy, aged 3S, sending
bullet through his head at 7:30
o'clock this morning at the home Of
his aunt Mrs. E. L. Alexander on
South Sycamore street, which result
ed in his death a few hours later.
Mr.. Montjoy was a son of r. M.
Montjoy and for the past few
months had held a responsible po-
sition with a shoe store at Pikeville.
For a number of years he was con-
nected with the R. E. Punch Co., and
other local stores. He was widely
known and held in the highest es-
TEEN by large circle of friends
who will be deeply grieved to learn
of his rash act. He is survived by
three children, two boys and one
girl, J. G.. and Albert and Willet.
Besides his father and children he
is survived by one sister, Mrs Al
bert Turley, of this city; one brother
Hampton Montjoy, who is a travel
ing salesman; six aunts, Mrs. AL
exander, Mrs. Will Tapp, Mrs. John
Razor, Mrs. Will Donahue, all Of
this county, and Mrs. Hanna Wells,
of Lexington, and two uncles, John
and James Montjoy, of this county.
The many friends of this popular
and genial young gentleman extend
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
and trust that God in His infinite
wisdom may be very near and dear
to them in this hour of trouble The
burial will be in the Montjoy burial
ground in the county but the time
for the funeral has not yet been set.

SATURDAY A BUSY DAY

The merchants of this city, gem
orally speaking, enjoyed one Of the
best days Of the year Saturday. A
large crowd was in town and the
people seemed intent on buying their
needs. A number of the merchants
whom we interviewed reported sales
most gratifying and indications are
very bright for a splendid spring
business. Court day was one Of the
most disagreeable days Of the year
and an extremely small crowd was
in town. However, the few that were
here were on business and the mer-
chants had a good day considering
the weather.

Let's Do Away With
All the Churches

Any person who would seriously
suggest any such program as this
would probably be apprehended as
suspected anarchist or q maniac,
and yet from certain facts which
the Ministerial Association of Mt.
Sterling has made known to this
paper, the churches of this town are
actually in danger, not so much
indeed from outward acts of vio-
lence as from the indifference of
their members and the citizens Of
the town. Here are the facts.
Out of an estimated constituent
cy of about $500 persons, within a
radius of two miles from the court
house, only about LOO are identi-
fed with any local church, and by
actual count, only about one third
of these 1,700 are present at the
morning services of the various
churches, and about one fourth at
the evening services. This would
seem to indicate two things:
First An appalling indifference
on the part of a majority of the
people of Mt. Sterling in the mission
and work of the various churches,
and of their own spiritual well be-
ing, and
Second: An equally appalling lack
of interest on the part of the mem
bers of the churches in the stated
services on Sunday morning and
evening.
With such condition as this fac
ing US, does it not seem wise that
the attention of our people should
be called to the infinite necessity of
preserving and Strengthening the one
agency which has for its aim and
purpose the building up and purify
ing the moral and spiritual life of
the community Is it possible that
the majority of our people have
come to the conclusion that they
have no need for religion personal
ly, and that the town would be as
well off without the churches? Can
it be possible that we as a commun-
ity are forgetting God in our fever
ish effort to make living and ac-
cumulate wealth and enjoy life? Is
there no such thing as hereafter
which the soul must face?
Let us face these facts squarely.
If the religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ is the one thing which will
bring peace to our souls, both here
and hereafter, and if the churches
of Mt. Sterling are trying to make
that religion known to our people,
and enlist them in its activities, let
US rally to the support of the
churches and by our presence at
the stated services, and in every
other way, cooperate with them is
their effort to elevate the moral and
spiritual life of the community.

letter, the clerks at the local post
office made a very enviable record

clerk, railway mail service:

Sterling, KY.
Ny Dear Sir: In connection with
case examinations Of your clerks !

Old-Fashioned Day"
For the March Court

Pieratt yards report $40 head of
cattle. all of which were taken in a
very short time by grazers from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and mostly
by farmers of this county and sur
rounding territory. Sales were
quickly made and in a very short
while drovers had them on the way
either to the depot for shipment or
to the nearby farms, where they are
to be made ready for the summer
or fall markets.
Stock was in fine condition for the
March court day sales. Heifers
brought from ga cents to 5 IA
cents. One lot of real fat ones
ready for the butcher sold at 6
cents, the weight being 700 pounds.
Four steers weighing an average of
LOO pounds were picked up to add
to shipment of export cattle and
brought 7 1-2 cents. The general
average was from a ga to 5 1-2
cents. A few lunches, good ones,
weighing about $50 pounds, sold; 80
head at 6 IL cents and 25 at 6 "a
cents. These were extra good cattle.
Bulls went at 8 to cents, Gamers
at 2 cents and cows and feeders at
A cents
The Mt. Sterling stock yards re-
port about $50 head of good cattle,
$50 head of common sheep and more
than that number of mules. Cattle
at these yards sold at prices about
the same as at the Pieratt yards.
The sheep were of a common
grade and brought an average of
$3.50 per head.
A. B. Wells sold three cars Of
mules at prices from $75 to 1925.
These mules went to Eastern Ken
lucky and West Virginia parties.
Bill Ware, of Cincinnati, pur-
chased one mixed car of mules and
horses at an average Of 500 per
head.
The Hamptons of Winchester
bought of Bill Little, Virginia, "a
head of steers at cents.
Plug horses were in great album
dance and many of them were not
worth a cheap bale of wrapping
paper They brought all they were
worth, selling from So to $25 per
head.
A good crowd was on the mark
ct and the best of feeling prevailed
The word from farmers was that
large crops would be put in this
year.
Merchants had good day. This
applied largely to clothiers ond dry
goods merchants. There was big
sale on tobacco cotton, and we noted
the stores most active were those
that advertise with The Advocate.
This was really an "old- time" day
as to weather, but the good spirited
farmer was a real tonic to those who
had closed pocketbook and were
afraid they were on the road to the
poor house. This, we are here to
say, wasn't big court day, but an
active one. 1t was just forerun
ner of what the April court will be.

Martin Surrenders;
Lodged in Jail Here

Willard Martin, who last Tuesday
shot and killed his uncle, Bill Mar
tin, near Jeffersonville, surrendered
Saturday morning to Deputy Sher-
iff Beall Hadden.
Officers had been searching for
Martin since the killing occurred,
but he succeeding in eluding them.
Martin claims that he wanted to ar
range for the care of his wife and
children before giving himself up,
and when this was done he tele-
phoned Mr.. Hadden to come for
him at the Levee. Deputy Sheriff
Hadden alone went to the appoint
ed place, Martin arriving shortly
after Martin was placed in the
county jail to await trial.

Mt. Sterling's new hotel campaign
organization is in readiness for the
actual opening of the big drive to-
night. This enterprise will be ush-
cred in with supper in Prewitt &
Bolts Hall at $50 o'clock sharp
The supper will be served by the
Country Woman's Club. Every cit
izen of Mt. Sterling knows the repu-
tation of these women for setting
up great meal.
In an interview today, Mr.. John
A. Judy, chairman of the citizens
committee, in this, Mt. Sterlmg's
4reatest organized undertaking,
Ssaid, "The results of the opening
meeting on Tuesday evening will de-
termine whether or not Mt. Ster-
fling's most progressive citizens
really want this community to have
a good hotel"
Any worker on one of the teams
who deliberately stays away from
this opening meeting will be putting
the greatest stumbling block posi-
BILE in the way of the success of this
great community enterprise. The
three division chairmen, Messrs. r.
G. Kern, o. W. Mccormick and Lee
Orear, when interviewed expressed
the hope that every worker on every
team in their respective divisions
would be present at this opening
meeting without fail. The captains
of the nine teams of citizen sales
men are really in competition with
each other in the endeavor to have
100 per cent attendance of all of
their team workers. In the follow
ing six days of the campaign per-
iod there will be the strongest com
petition between teams to make a
good showing in the daily reports
that will be scheduled on the big
scors.A oard that has been erected in
the Erk. If any team is not well
represented at the opening tonight
that team will be handicapped seri-
ously in the results it viii be able
ITO secure during the following days
of the campaign period.
A unique arrangement of the ia
bles in Prewitt & Bolts Hall will
make it possible for every team to
have its own table properly located
in its own division, either A, B or
C, as the case may be.
The principal speaker Tuesday
evening will be Leonard b. Shouse,
ST., president of the Lafayette hotel
at Lexington. The executive com
mittee feels that II is extremely
fortunate in having secured the
promise of Mr.. Shouse, man who
knows the hotel business from a to
z, as their principal speaker on the
qpsning night of the campaign. Mr..
house will be present to give the
workers encouragement in this most
eommendable community enterprise.

lHiS TouoclS very Cdrelul, pains
taking study and loyal interest in
all service matters.
Respectfully,
W. R. WAITS, Chief Clerk.
P. S. A copy of this letter is
being forwarded to the first assist
ant postmaster general, Washington.
The clerks at the local postoffice
handled 5,052 cards, each card rep
resenting Kentucky postoffice,
throwing them by routes just like
letters are thrown and only 10 err
rors were made out of the 5,052
cards, which is an exceptionally fine
record, considering the speed and
number of separations made by the
clerks.
Case examinations have been held
at the local postoffice for eight years
and during that time B. r. Boone
has thrown 1886 cards with only 81
errors or an average percentage for
the eight years of 99.63 per cent.
This year he made 100 per cent, the
first time this record has been made
by an employee of the local office.
The citizens of Mt. Sterling and
Montgomery county should be proud
of the above record. Mt. Sterling
leads-others follow.

CABBAGE THAT WILL
RESIST FELLOWS Is
LOCATED BY PURDUE
For First Time in Several Sea
sons Good Crops Have
Been Obtained.

Hundreds Of Indiana cabbage grow
ers and back yard gardeners have a
good crop Of cabbage this year for
the first time in several seasons be-
cause Of the work Of the botanical
extension staff of Purdue University
DR.. c. T. Gregory assisted them in
locating sources o. seed of varieties
which resist cabbage yellows. the
disease that has ruined their crop the
last few years. Many appreciative let
ters have been received from those
people who took advantage OF this
service in improving their cabbage
crop.
Otis Crawford OF Rushville writes:
i sent to several companies but
could not get any seed except the
Wisconsin All-Season's. got two
packages for As cents I sold 1000
plants for 800 per hundred, gave
each OF my two sons-in-law $50
apiece. traded $50 10 a friend for to-
matoes and set out 400 on the 18th
Of June. / have sold $40 worth Of
cabbage at % cents per pound, used
of kraut and have IS large heads and
u small ones left I never lost a
plant and there was not a plant but
what made head There are u Of
them that are small but still growing
fine and no doubt IN a couple OF
weeks will make FIVE pound heads
OF the other their weight WAS from
to 10 pounds, lots of them weigh
ing 10 pounds I do not think that
record can be beaten and like them
50 well I am going TO raise lot Of
them next year"
p. VI. Riggs, Brownsville says. u
ordered some Of the Wisconsin Sue
cession and can truthfully say that
we have as fine n lot Of cabbage as
we ever raised Notwithstanding the
dry weather. Not the least sign Of
yellows was to be found on any OF it,"
Matt FuChtman Of Greenburg also
writes. I'VE secured the Wisconsin
Succession cabbage seed from one of
our local dealers. It proved to be
blight proof and was very satisfac-
tory. Owing to the drought and heat
our late planting did not mature as
good as the earlier planting"
These statements show what dis
ease resistant cabbage viii do. There
were some failures but in the great
majority Of cases where yellows re-
sistant varieties we're obtained the
results have been very satisfactory.
Conditions indicate that yellows Will
be had next year and yellows resis-
tant varieties will be needed.
