P. Henry Corbitt
Dies in Tennessee

Patrick Henry Corbitt, former
citizen of this city, and business
man Of Memphis, Tenn, for the past
IL years, died at a Memphis hospi-
tai last Saturday after an illness of
more than twelve months. Henry
Corbitt, favorabIy known here, was
son Of John Corbitt and wife, de-
ceased, and was born, raised and
educated here. He was one Of our
most attentive and capable business
men. Early In life he learned how
to make an honest dollar and all the
way from that early beginning he
met with deserved promotions. He
resigned as boolxkeeper in the Ira
ders' Deposit Bank to enter a more
lucrative business, that of snuff
manufacturing in the city Of Bir-
mingham, Ala. This business was
sold to the American Snuff Compa-
ny and Mr.. Corbitt took position
with them at Clarksville. Of Mr.
Corbitt a Memphis daily says:
'eMr. Corbitt was managing di-
! rector Of the local branch Of the
American Snuff Company. He took
charge. Of the Memphis plant upon
its completion in 1909 and had man
aged the business ever since. Prior
to that time he managed the compa-
ny's branches in Louisville and
Clarksville, Tenn, and operated the
Mon Namara- Laird Snuff Company OF
Birmingham"
The deceased is survived by his
wife and four children, P. H. Jr.,
Dorothy, Jack and William. In ad-
dition he leaves four brothers and
two sisters. They are Charles J.
Corbitt, of Memphis; William and I,
E. Corbitt, OF Louisville, and John
Corbitt, of Charleston, W. Va; Mrs
j. E. Kisker, of Cincinnati, and Sis
ter Mary Benedicta of Visitation
Convent, Georgetown, KY.
The body was taken to Clarksville,
Tenn, and after funeral service
was buried there. Henry Corbitt
was honored and promoted from
merit, both here and in the home OF
his adoption. The Memphis paper
adds: "Mr. Corbitt was one of the
prominent business men of this city
and had many friends"
Mr.. Corbitt's early removing from
the busy scenes of life will cause
sorrow to come to many hearts. for
he was a real friend. He was a
member of the Catholic church, loyal
! and helpful to all objects fostered-
In this loss Of husband and father
we deeply sympathize with the wife
and children and other kindred.

Aged Minister
Passes to Reward

Rev. d. g. Combs, past SO years
of age, died at his home in this city
at 8 o'clock Monday morning. Fun
eral services will be held from the
Christian church Wednesday at
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Clyde
Darsie. Burial in Machpelah Gem
etery. He died from heart and kid
ney troubles, from which he had
suffered for several years. He is
survived by his wife, who is past 81
years of age, and six daughters,
Mrs. Francis Daniel, Mrs. Martha
Thomas, Mrs. Bell Johnson, Mrs
Lucy Mcclure and Misses Cora and
Lenna Combs.
For many years Rev. Combs
served as an evangelist in Eastern
Kentucky and as result of his la
bors between 5000 and 1000 per-
sons accepted Christ. The number
that were married by him were many
more than the number rescued into
the church.
Words fail us when we consider
and undertake to tell of esteem in
which he was held in the Eastern
Kentucky districts. To say he was
loved by his church citizenship just
tells the story in part.
For years we travelled the noun
tais in the prosecution of our news
paper work and here it was that we
learned that Rev. Combs was an
idol in the hearts of that good peo-
pie. 1t was his to live and serve
and this faithful preacher has to his
credit rewards for faithfulness as
an evangelist preacher, as a worker
for the Master. 1t is said Of him
that he baptized more persons than
any other preacher of his faith. II
was his pleasure to keep his ap-
pointments and it mattered not
whether fair or inelement weather he
could be counted on never to dis
appoint. As late as October of last
year he was found reaching and
baptizing.
The deceased was certainly 9
useful and faithful deliverer of the
word as he understood it,
Thousands of our Eastern Ken
lucky people will be saddened on
account of the passing of this
faithful servant of God, and while
earth will be poorer by his passing
Heaven will be richer.

Small Crowd For
January Court

The January court day crowd
was not extra large as compared
with other months, nor is it ever so
large in this month.
The number of cattle was about
1000. The quality was about as
good as could be expected for this
time of the year. Cows brought ac-
cording to condition, from 1 1-2 to
A LIZ cents per pound. Heifers in
good condition brought froln to 5
cents, few reaching the high wa
ter mark of 1-2 cents.
Steers sold at prices ranging
from 5 to "a cents. A few extra
good steers sold at and IA
cents. A few oxen we're on the mar
ket.
George Maze sold 1e head of L.
200-pound cattle at cents and 20
head of good steers at cents.
Two cars Of Tennessee cattle sold
at from 2 1-2 to 8 cents, while an
other car from the same state were
held over.
There were two loads of work
mules on the market that brought
from $50 to 800 per head. One
pair of good work mules brought
$34O. A few horses, good ones,
changed ownership at $125. Plug
horses were slow at any price, the
best being $40.
With the exception of the three
carloads of Tennessee cattle the cat
tie came from Eastern Kentucky and
the buyers were mostly Central
Kentucky farmers.
The sales in the various branches
of merchandise we're about at par
with that Of other court sales The
early sales began briskly, but as the
middle of the day approached they
became draggy and continued this
way until the close of the day. Far
mers are looking forward with anxi-
ETY. to the opening of the tobacco
market, hoping to realize prices that
will again place them on easy street.

Disastrous Fire
at Grassy Lick

The residence on the farm Of
James w. White, near Grassy Lick,
was totally destroyed by fire Sum
day night. The house was occupied
by Richard Eubank and wife, who
had only moved to the place the day
before. They had gone down to
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bolts for sup
per when the blaze started, which,
it is presumed, caught from fuel
falling out of the CRATE. When they
returned the house was ready to fall
in.
Besides the house, a tobacco barn,
containing 18 or 20 acres, and al
ready stripped, belonging to w. w.
Eubank, ST., was completely de-
stroyed, as was the silo which was
filed; the garage, containing a
Studebaker touring car, and other
outbuildings were total loss. Prac-
tically all farming implements were
destroyed. There was no insurance
on the household goods of Richard
Eubank and on him the loss falls
heavy. Besides losing all houshold
effects, MS bride of only few
weeks in the excitement lost the set
out of her engagement ring. The
residence, tobacco barn and automo-
bile were insured, but the other
property burned was a complete loss.

gestion, at her home on Holt avenue,

Pegs was most excellent woman,
member of the Methodist church
and kind and helpful neighbor.
No one was more thoughtful OF
friends than was Mrs. Peggs and In
her the poor had helper that was
of much worth to them. Though
she has gone and the grief seems
hard to bear, this earth has been
made better place by her life and
we grieve with those who were near
to this beloved Christian woman.

War Finance Corporation for loan
of $10,000,00O, in a petition pre-
pared and approved at Lexington
Yesterday at meeting of the board
of directors. The application win
be taken to Washington today by
Bush W. Allin, of Harrodsburg, one

surances from the members of the

ally and as a body, that such loans
will be made on the security Of
warehouse receipts issued by the
subsidiary corporation of the asso-
citation.
The $10,000,000 is intended to be
merely the first installment of loans
to be made by the War Finance Cor
poration. Increases and additions
probably will be made as deliveries
of tobacco become larger. The
money will be used for refunding
loans to the association from eoun-
try and city banks. The money
probably will be loaned to the asso-
citation at six per cent interest or
less and, if the application is ac-
cepted as soon as expected, viii be

Move to Honor
Great American

national committee Of 250 rep
ressntative men and women has
undertaken to establish the Wood
row Wilson Foundation. The pur-
pose Of the Foundation is to honor
a great American and to create q
method whereby public service will
be encouraged and conspicuously
recognized in this and future gem
erutions.
kFrom the income of the Founda-
ton, the Woodrow Wilson Award or
Awards will be granted in recogni-
ton Of distinguished public service.
To establish this Foundation on a
fitting basis, the National Committee
through an organization in each
state, will make an appeal for a
popular subscription. The amount
Of the fund sought is $1,000,OOO or
more.
The appeal will be, issued to all
who believe in those liberal and dem
ocratic principles that Woodrow
Wilson has so conspicuously cham
pioned, and who wish to perpetuate
the influence Of Americas great war
leader.
After the fund has been raised, a
board Of trustees, composed of emf
nent Americans, will be entrusted
with its permanent administration.
The active campaign throughout
the country is being conducted
this week. Any and all subscriptions,
however, viii be received at any time
at national headquarters. Checks
may be made payable to the Wood
row Wilson Foundation.
Headquarters for the Foundation
have been established at $50 Nassau
street, New York City.
Hon. Franklin d. Roosevelt, New
York City, is the national chairman,
and Judge Robert w. Bingham, of
louisville, state chairman for Ken
kSkg. Mrs. A. B. Oldham, of Mt.
Wing, is chairman for the Ninth
congressional district and Thomas
d. Grubbs is chairman for Mont
gomery county in this laudable
work.
To any man conversant with
American and world history it is
unnecessary to call attention to the
great work done for humanity by
Woodrow Wilson. To our mind, he
is the greatest living statesman of
the world and one of the outstand-
ing Americans Of all history, and
we think this tribute is certainly due
him.
It will not require any large sub
scriptions in order to achieve the
goal. Fifty thousand dollars is the
amount we are expecting to raise in
Kentucky and $4,000 is the Ninth
districts quota. You win readily
see that few So, 81 and lesser
amounts subscribed will produce this
result
Subscriptions viii be gladly re-
ceived by the following local com
mittee: Squire Turner, G. B. Senff,
j. W. Hedden, John G. Roberts,
Mrs. r. G. Stoner, Crawford Mason,
Mrs. r. G. Owings and John J..
Winn.

GOMPERS AIDS STRIk-
ERS

Providence, R. President Com
pers is touring the textile district in
aid of textile workers who are strik-
ing against 20 per cent wage cut
and the installation of the 54-hour
week
In speech in this city President
Gompers declared that textile work
ers knew, if other people did not, that
about year ago wages in this in
dustry were cut 221a per cent. "They
knew" he said, "that the cost of liv-
ing had not been reduced when that
cut was put into effect. Today a
further reduction of 20 per cent was
offered, mill owners thinking that be-
cause the first cut was accepted with
out murmur, the second would be
accepted in actual silence. In addi-
ton to the new wage reduction, mill
owners propose to extend the 44hour
week to the 54-hour week"

He said that the present economic
conditions are such that the young
man is usually only a laborer or
tenant, and that this is true in spite
of the fact that one-half of the area
of the United States is unused and
waiting to be developed He declar-
ed that stable government depends
upon sound land policy and that this
should be worked out by the state
and national governments.

HANDCUFF
LEGISLATION
Being Fought By Mobilized
Forces of n. Y. Wage
Farmers

Albany, N. Organized labor is
waging the strongest legislative fight
in its history against "can't-strike"
proposals now pending before the
state legislature
Although the most powerful fnan-
cial interests on this continent are
behind the plan, labor defeated the
Miller bill which would prohibit
strikes for so days. Another bill
known as the Duell- Miller industrial
relations court would prohibit
strikes and make the state supreme
court a party to industrial disputes.
This bill was later amended to apply
only to public utility employment.
Governor Allen, of Kansas, was i'm
ported to acquaint citizens how this
handcuff legislation operates.
The proposals have aroused organ
lied workers who have sent large del
egations to the state capital to protest
against these measures.
President Gompers took personal
charge of the labor forces. For three
hours he presented labor's views be-
fore legislative committee and head
ed delegation of more than 1,200
trade union representatives from va
rious parts Of the state who marched
from their meeting place, in this city,
to the state capitol.
