DEATH OF MRS W. W. BUCK.

Mrs. Samantha Ellen Buck, beloved
wife Of w. w. Buck, aged 50-odd
years, died at 9:30 o'clock last Friday
night, Sept. goth, at her home, at the
Cane Creek Bridges, ten miles from
Lexington, on the Scott's Hill road
Pneumonia was the cause of Mrs
Bucks death and she was sick but a
few days.
Beside her husband she is survived
by four children-Will, Munice, Maud
and Lee, and it happened that her
death occurred just four days to a day
after Homer, her second son, was
killed in France as member of the
A. f. F.
We are not informed as to Mrs.
Bucks religious belief, but she was a
member of the Order of Eastern Star,
a faithful wife, an affectionate
mother and as neighbor it is said
that she was exceptionally good about
visiting the sick.
The funeral occurred last Saturday
at Mt. Gillead and the service was
conducted by Rev. Walter Alexander,
assisted by another minister who was
holding meeting at Mt. Gilead.

AN INTERESTING PIECE OF
WOODWORK.

"The National Library Table" was
SO named because of the fact that II
contains variety of wood from every
state in the United Statese; together
with representative woods from Alas
ko, Cuba, Hamaii and the PHILIPPINES.
These are laid in the top-so called
hn-lay work--and there are 5;022
pieces in the top consisting 70 81 va
rieties. The framework of the table
is of quartered white oak, unusually
large and massive. The size of the
table is 46 by GA inches and 80 inches
high. The finish, consisting of 26
coats of oil, shellac and varnish is the
natural" finish leaving each wood in
its original color. The pattern with
its many forms, shapes, designs and
colorings is very pretty. g -. -.
Men competent to Judge work Of
this kind have pronounced it the
most beautiful as well as the most in
teresting piece of furniture in exis-
tence.
No definite disposition has been
made Of the table yet, although sever
al flattering offers have been made.
1t will likely be on exhibition in
Nashville during the Fall, after which
it will probably be placed in the new
National Musium in Washington.
This table was constructed by Cor
don H. Turner, Of Scott's Hill, this
county, in the Manual training De-
partment of the Greenwood, Missis-
sipi, High School, which department
he has had charge of for two years.
He will be remembered in Lexington
during his four years in the High
School, where he graduated in 1916.
He will be in Peabody College and
Vanderbilt this year where he finish
es in June of next year.

HIS FIRST COURT HERE

Former Governor Tom G. Rye, ol
Paris, now Chancellor of the Eighth
Chancery Division Of Tennessee, ar
rived here Tuesday morning to hold
the October term of the. Henderson
County Chancery Court.
He found 1876 cases on the docket

bunch of work.
Chancellor Rye is finding and will
continue to find the Lexington bar one

entire Division.
The Tom Rye we have known SO
long can not fail to find Lexington a
pleasant place to visit and work in,
for here are and have been resident
for many years some of his warmest
friends and sopporters he has had in
his various public activities-as well
as personally.
The Progress wishes the new cham
cellor pleasant and successful ca
reer on the bench.

THE BARGERTON
COMMUNITY CLUB.

It was our good fortune to attend
the Bargerton Community Club meet
ing last Saturday night-ran out with
County Agent H. A. Powers in his
gasoline "Jerky" and found the meet
ing to be held in the new school
building, which with its large study
hall, two other class rooms and a
cloak room, would be credit to any
community.
Brother John Page is president OF
the Club-and a good one-alway'
ready to say a good word for the NOR
al and educational upbuilding of his
community.
Fred Cook was on hand with his
fiddle and with the Page boys and
girls furnished music.
The program had some nice recita-
tions by children, two special quar-
tette selections and we made our talk
on the question as the use of correst
Language Important 2" We also fur
nished the materials for reading con-
test which will take place on Satur.
day night of next week and two books
are offered as prizes to the best male
and female readers. g..
Agent Powers made a general talk
which was enjoyed and after regret
fully refusing many cordial invita-
tions to spend the night, the "Jerky'
was cranked and we tackled the
bumpy road on the return to Lexing-
ton. The more one sees of the Bar,
gerton community people, the better
they are liked.

HENDERSON co. CLUB BOYS
SEE TRI- STATE FAIR.

Irby Park, Bobbie Pope and Ernest
Brewer represented Henderson county
at the Tri-State Camp for Club Boys
in a livestock judging contest held
during the Fair in Memphis. They
competed with boys from Mississippi,
Arkansas and Tennessee and made a
total score of 1860 being defeated by
Madison county with a score of 2140.
While there the boys took two
sightseeing trips over the city of
Memphis to many points of interest,
and were also guests of loves the
atre, which is known as one of the best
places of its kind in the city.
While there the boys lived in tents
and were under the supervision of
Mr.. L. p Fossidck, Boys Secretary
of the Y. NJ. C. A., who makes spec
ialty of this line Of work for youths.
They were furnished a place to sleep,
meals and a pass into the Tri-State
Fair without charge, and their only
necessary expense was railrod fare.
No other trip can be given a boy
where he can see so much for the ex-
penditure of so little money.
The Fair was great show. Some
of the boys had never been 70 this
great metropolis of Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Tennessee.
In the livestock judging contest
they received very valuable instruc-
tion.
The boys received their training
from Prof. H. G, Conley and H. A..
Powers, County Agent. This was
necessarily limited, due to the great
scarcity of high class livestock in this
county. The bays ranked high on hogs
and dairy cattle. There is not sin
gle herd of beef cattle that could be
used for this purpose in the entire
county and so the boys had to go into
the contest without training.

SOME WORK BY DEPUTY
MARSHAL JACK DAVIS


Deputy United States Marshal Jack
Davis has recently done the following
work in his official capacity:
Tuesday of last week, at Hollow
Rock Junction, he arrested and car
ried to Huntingdon, for a hearing be-
fore Commissioner r. A. Greene, Po-
ny Stanford, of Carroll county, charg-
ed with contempt or refusing to turn
in to the bankrupt court certain mon
les demanded Of him in bankruptcy
Mr. Stanford gave bUf1lf Ter HIS ap-
pearance at Federal court.
Last Monday Marshal Davis brought
before Commissioner Roberts here
Helma and May Common Grant, charg-
ed with attempting to defraud
through the mails. They gave bond
for their appearance at court.
Wednesday of this week Marshal
Davis and Commissioner p. O. Rob-
erts and Prohibition Officer w. R.
Wright went to Perry county to give
hearings before the Commissioner to
alleged offenders against whom the
marshal had or would have warrants.
As Perry county has no commissioner,
this is done as a matter of economy.

UNCLE ALI TURNS
TWO REDS" LOOSE

Just what it was that prompted
Governor Alf Taylor to pardon two l
w. w. men, the worst type of REDS
and anarchists in the United States
on the recommendation of a Shelby
County judge and he not criminal
Judge (Pitman) and over the protest
of the Board of Pardons, is hard to
understand by either Republican OF
Democrat who favors any sort of gov
ernment.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
of last Saturday made the charge that
Gov. Taylor had Internationally par
doned two such men, who were twice
tried in Memphis before Judge Harsh
and sentenced to the pen. The two
Reds" had pulled off a robbery
wounded one man and came near
killing another. After the first trial
the |. W. w. organization at Chica-
go sent down woman lawyer to de-
fend the men and claimed to have new
anu iHdteTidl eVlueICe ~ HtW LIldl
granted but the new evidence was not
material enough to keep again con-
victed, and the case was appealed to
the Supreme Court and the lower
court affirmed.
1t is further charged that the par.
don was granted by the governor July
18th and that the fact did not ''leak
out" sufficiently to reach Memphis
until last week.
We cannot account for Governors
actions-except that he is Taylor
and has weakness on the line of par
doning criminals.
We have seen no statement on the
subject in the Nashville papers.

MRS. ST. CLAIR-M0SS A CANDI.
DATE

Mrs. Woodson Moss, of Columbia,
Mo-, has announced as a candidate
for Congress from her district and
the news is exceedingly interesting
to Paris friends. Mrs. Moss was we'll
known in Lexington and Paris as
Mrs. Luella Wilcox st. Clair, presi-
dent of Hamilton College for about
six years, and one of the most ad-
mired women in Kentucky. She is
quite scholarly, graceful and witty
as a public speaker, able as writer
and her executive ability it marked.
Before coming to Lexington she was
president of Christian College at
Columbus, Mo-, and she left Hamil
ton College on account Of urgent
calls from Columbia as she had
come away from her Office there
only on leave. During the COM
mencement exercises at Christian
College on May 81 telegram was
read from Mrs. ST. Clair from the
capital of Missouri telling that she
had filed for Congress.

LEAVE WORRIES AT OFFICE

said a man who has made a reputa-
ton for dealing successfully with
big problems, according to the New
Success, "'I take no business wor-

top of my condition, capable of do
ing the biggest days work that is
possible for me.
ct l were to worry over things at
night, if 1 didn't get recreation and
rest, 1 couldn't do mans work; i

ting refreshing sleep to re-enfOrce
him to handle hig things the next
day Buoyancy, enthusiasm, mental
harmony, are the very essence of
efficiency, of creative ability; and
worry destroys all of these so abso-
lutely refuse to worry in any cir
cumstances.
81 won't waste my energy and my
creative power lying awake nights
worrying over things. I know that
1 can deal efficiently with them next
day, and not till then. Now this is
what all men of large vision and
practical horsesense do. They don't
drag harassing problems home with
them after the days work is done
they lock them in their place of
business. Over the door of their
home is written in mental charac-
tiers:

freshing station, my repair shop,

zest. Here is where brace up my

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY VS.
REPUBLICAN DISASTER

When Woodrow Wilson went into
office as President in 1913, the es
timated wealth of the United States
was $3.50, 100000 when he re-
tired at the end of eight years it
was $500, ZOO, 100000, gain of
s215, 900, 100000.
The present estimated wealth of
the United States is 1925, 0,00O,-
900, showing a decrease of $75,00O,-
100000 in the fifteen months a
Republican administration has been
in power.
These figures were recently stated
by Senator King (Dem., Utah), upon
the floor of the Senate. They are
approximately correct.
The greater part of this loss has
been sustained by the farmers of
this country in land values, agricul-
although part of this loss has fall
en- upon the very industry and bus
mess and upon every form of prop
erty values.
All the arguments that can or will
be made by Republican speakers can
not wipe out or materially change
these figures. They are a concrete
illustration within the understand
ing of everybody of what it means
in the way of prosperity to have a
Democratic administration and what
in the day of disaster to have a re-
dictionary Republican administration.
