DR.. HI. L. Eubanks Buys
C. L. Stewart Residence

The desirability of Lexington as a
place to live is quickly illustrated.
Whenever home is offered for sale a
buyer is easily found and more takers
arc in the bidding than properties are
available. This was shown here this
week when c. L. Stewart who is now
located in Greenwood with one Of the
leading auto firms, found it necessary
to sell his house. DR.. L. H. Eubanks,
county health director, soon became the
best bidder and purchase was soon con-
summated. The home is one of the
modern houses of our city and will form
an attractive asset to the new owner.
Lexington extends welcome to DR..
Eubanks and family as they assume
their new role of home owners.

States Attorney Alcorn to Inaugurate Ace De- tective at Hartford Barracks Completes 17
 Years Service as County Sleuth

Memories of seventeen years service as Hartford's county de- tective-seventeen years of work with the man he calls boss swept across the keen mind of Edward J. Hickey today, on the eve of his installation as superin- tendent of the state police de- partment.
 For today is Edward J. Hickey's last day as county detective of Hartford County. His "boss," States Attorney Hugh M, Alcorn will administer the oath of office of superintendent of the state po- lice force tomorrow morning at g o'clock, at the police barracks, Hartford.
 Plans Changes
 In attendance at the conspiracy trial today, as he has been for the past eight months, MT. Hickey wore a quiet smile, possibly of a1- ticipation mixed with reminis- CcIlCc. x1C QCCln1Co tO QAoOuoo AlAo plans for reorganization of the state police force which numbers about 250 men. But there is no doubt that he has very definite plans.
 Since his appointment to the post by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, MT. Hickey has been joshed about the title colonel" which, according to statute &C., companies the office. He laughing ly insists that he will ask the next session of the general assembly to abolish the title.
 Since leaving the state police force more than IT years ago to join the force of States Attorney Alcorn, MT. Hickey hasn't worn a uniform. And it is the opinion of his most intimate friends that he will continue in that practice, al- though as head of the state police department he is entitled to wear a very natty uniform.
 A trip down memory lane with the friendly detective is one marked with thrilling stories of adventure in the pursuit of crim- inals and murderers through the

nine-tenths of the people live out

100000 acres in the country are

one Of his good friends. It seems
he never did any work as a barber,
except to take care of three hairs Of

Legend says Mohammed gave those
three hairs to Sidi Sahab, and that
they were buried with "the barber"

hair, We are told, was laid on his
