Decoration Day Passed Off Quietly.  Program Carried Out At National Cemetery.
 The Decoration Day program at the National Cemetery was witnessed by a large
crowd.  The day passed off very quietly and no disturbance of any kind was
noticed.  The exercises took place in the morning about eleven o'clock in
front of the lodge.  Judge R.C. Tartar was chairman and after a brief and
eloquent speech introduced Col. Chas. H. Morrow who made the principle
address.  He was followed by Prof. D.B. Webb, ex-service man, who spoke on
behalf of the American Legion.  Several members of the local post American
Legion were present and distributed literature and solicited members.  Ye
editor, with a number of friends, was royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs.
R.O. Jones at their pretty home.  The graves of the dead were strewn with
flowers and an American flag placed at the head of each grave.  Sup't Tartar
keeps the place in excellent condition.

To Press Claims.  The Kentucky Utilities Co. has let it be known that they
will press their claims for an increase in rates on water, light and car
service.  They claim that the cost of operation has so increased in cost that
it is impossible to operate on the present schedule.  The matter will be
presented to the City Council.  Until this matter is settled all negotiations
for the purchase of the street railway is off so Mr. Reid, president of the
Co. writes.

Dutton.  Mrs. Elizabeth Dutton, wife of William Dutton, died at her home on
the Crab Orchard pike Sunday morning.  She was 79 years of age and a splendid
woman.  Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. D.W. Scott, pastor of the First Christian Church.  Burial followed in
the City Cemetery.

Wants a Wife.  The Journal has a letter this week from a young bachelor who
wants us to find him a wife.  He lives in an adjoining county and says he is
very anxious that we be successful in the undertaking.  So if there is any
lonesome marriageable woman in the county who wants a husband, here is a
chance.

Teachers Scarce.  Superintendent Meece tells us that the present outlook is
that there will be a scarcity of teachers in Pulaski County this school year.
 There are now about twelve vacancies to be filled.  Several teachers have
gone to other counties and some have decided not to teach this year.

New Subscribers.  The Journal has added over one hundred new subscribers in
the past month, a record of which we feel very proud.  During the next month
we expect to add double that number.

Bobbitt Held Over.  The trail of James Bobbitt charged with operating a
moonshine still, was held before U.S. Commissioner Wesley Wednesday morning. 
After hearing the evidence Mr. Wesley increased Mr. Bobbitt's bond to
$2,500.00 and held him over to the Federal Grand Jury.  Dewey Poynter and
Herbert Eldridge, who were arrested at the time the raid was made, were
released.  They swore they were working for Bobbitt.

Sells Fine Car.  Major J.J. Bethurum of the Bethurum Motor Company, sold and
delivered yesterday a Nash touring car of the most exclusive model to Mr.
H.O. Phillips the popular railway conductor of this city - Danville
Messenger.

Deal About Closed.  The Journal has been informed that Henry Ford, the
millionaire automobile manufacturer, has about closed a deal for several
thousand acres of coal and timber land in McCreary and Pulaski counties.  It
is said that should the deal go through, Mr. Ford will spend something like
five million dollars in developing the property.  Mr. Ford made a trip to
this section several months ago and was well pleased with the property shown
him.  He had some half dozen experts along with him.

Dr. D.W. Scott Resigns As Pastor of First Christian Church, Much Regret
Expressed.  At a meeting of the Official Board of the First Christian Church
last Wednesday night, Dr. D.W. Scott resigned as pastor to take effect abut
the first of September.  The Board with much reluctance accepted his
resignation and will begin at once to look for his successor.  Dr. Scott has
been pastor of the local church for the past three years and has endeared
himself to all the people of Somerset.  All peoples of every denomination
will regret to learn of his resignation.  He has built up the church and
Sunday School and has a large men's class which he teachers himself.  This is
probably the largest men's class in the city.  Dr. Scott has not decided just
where he will locate but he has several flattering offers.

Appointed Administrator.  Dock Farley has been appointed administrator of the
Estate of A.J. McKinney.  John Anderson, Dillard Couch and Frank Poynter have
been appointed appraisers of the property.

Meece.  Miss Ellen Meece, daughter of Mrs. India Meece of Meece, Ky., died at
her home last Saturday of heart trouble.  She was apparently in the best of
health an dup until a few minutes before her death gave no signs of illness. 
She was buried Sunday at Wesley's Chapel.  Miss Meece was a school teacher
and a splendid young woman.  She was a cousin of Mr. L.E. Meece and a sister
of Meece Bros., who conduct a grocery store in this city.

Out of Work.  Many Idle In North, According to Information at Hand.  Reports
of wide-spread failure to obtain work in the north in the high-wage centers
of the automobile and steel manufacturing cities in the north and east have
come to the Board of Trade from former residents and from men who have left
farms in sections adjacent to Louisville, says the Louisville Times.  W.E.
Morrow, secretary of the board, said he had heard from many persons in Akron,
Ohio, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities giving sordid accounts of
conditions found there.  Laborers and even skilled mechanics as well as farm
hands had flocked there expecting to obtain work immediately at enormously
high wages.  In many such cases they had been advised to come by the
manufacturing interests in question, had responded to advertisements or had
even been sought out by agents who loaded them on trains bound for the North,
with lavish promises of "lots of work at double wages."  According to
accounts received, workers are idle by hundreds.  They are sitting along
curbstones outside of mills, expecting hourly to be taken in, but days have
gone by without the eagerly awaited result materializing.  Housing
accommodations are limited, consequently many are without any shelter. 
Besides, they have no money to pay the enormous rent charged.  These
expatriates accordingly are writing back to their home city asking for work.

Another Raid.  Officers made a search last Thursday in the smoke house
belonging to Float Tartar, near Nancy, and found a still and a seven gallon
keg of whiskey.  The still was destroyed and the whiskey poured out.  Mr.
Tartar was arrested.  The officers making the raid were U.S. Marshall Bash,
Sheriff Weddle and Robert Warren and Silas West.  These men say they are
going to break up the moonshine business in Pulaski and they have certainly
started out like they mean business.

Officers Here.  Prohibition Enforcement Officers Saufley and McFarland were
here last Monday and in company with U.S. Marshall Bash and Revenue Officer
Winfrey attended the Decoration Day exercises at the National Cemetery.  They
will likely be in this section for some time hunting down violaters of the
prohibition laws.

Sells Plant.  Mr. S.A. Waddle, the Delco Agent, has returned from Wayne
county where he sold al lighting plant, water system and sewerage disposal pl
ant to Mr. T.M. Shearer.  This makes the eighth plant Mr. Waddle has sold
since taking the agency.  He says he expects to close several other deals
this week.

Leases Machine Shop.  Mr. C. Fred Hunt of this city has leased the Burnside
Machine Shops and has already taken charge.  Mr. Hunt is an expert machinist
and an splendid young business man and we predict that he will make good in
this undertaking.  For a number of years he was connected with the Hunts
Machine Shops which institution enjoyed a wide patronage.  Mr. Hunt has
recently been employed at the Ferguson shops.  Burnside is a splendid
business town and at the present time there is no machine shop in operation. 
Mr. Hunt plans to make many improvements in the plant and operate a first
class shop.  He will also operate a garage.  Mr. Hunt will take his long
established trade mark "Sudden Service" with him.

New Pensions For Soldiers Serving 90 Days In Civil Or Mexican War.  Widows
Entitled To Pension.  Under a new law it is possible for any soldier, his
widow who served as much as ninety days in the Civil War and who was
honorably discharged to secure a pension of $50.00 per quarter or more.  Also
to any one who served in the Mexican War or the war of 1812, or other widows.
 If  you are a soldier, or the widow of a soldier who served in any of these
wars and are not now drawing a pension it will pay you to communicate with us
as we can probably get you a pension.  Write or call May's Collection Agency,
Room 7, Masonic Building, Somerset, Ky.

Appointed P.M.  M.E. Burton has been appointed postmaster at Luretha to
succeed W.E. Kelly.

Griffin.  Mrs. Lucinda Jane Griffin, widow of Wm. Griffin, died at the home
of her son, Robert Griffin at Woodstock on the 19th.   She was a most
excellent woman and had been a member of the Baptist Church at Woodstock for
47 years.  She was born and reared in Pulaski County.  Funeral services were
held at the Woodstock Baptist Church on the 21st conducted by Rev.'s Abbott
and Meece.  Burial followed in the Woodstock Cemetery.  She is survived by
five sons' and one daughter: S.T. Griffin, Liberty; Robert Griffin,
Woodstock; John Griffin, Girdler, Ill.; Herbert Griffin, Indianapolis, Ind.;
and Mrs. Lena Price, Bridgeport, Ill.  A splendid woman has gone to her
reward and she will be greatly missed in the community where she has always
lived.

Whitis.  Romeo Whitis, age 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eben Whitis, was
accidentally drowned near Crawfordsville, Ind., on May 28th.  His body
arrived here Monday for burial.  Funeral services were held at the Eden
Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. Meece.  Burial took
place at the Eden burying ground.  He is survived by a wife and several
children.  Mr. Whitis was reared in Pulaski County and has been working at
Crawfordsville.  He had gone out on a fishing trip for the day when he met
with the terrible accident.

Eubank News.  Rev. R.E. Todd was injured last Tuesday morning by a fast
passenger train and died a short time thereafter while en route to Danville
to a hospital.  He was brought back to his home on the noon train.  He was a
very noted preacher and will be greatly missed by his many friends.  Rev.
Todd was one of our best citizens.  He was on his way home from milking when
he stepped out of the way of a freight train and then stepped in the way of
the passenger train which knocked him the length of two rails.  He leaves to
mourn his death his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Lewis Wolcott of Akron,
Ohio, Mrs. J.W. Surber of Estesburg and four sons, Ora and John Todd, of
Texas, A. and Walker Todd of this place.  Our sympathy is extended to them. 
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.R. Gooch, John Wheeldon and Rev.
Masters at the Christian Church.

Farm News.

The first tobacco setter to be in Pulaski County was set to work last
Thursday on the farm of Mr. Eaton at Valley Oak.  Samuel Childers had rented
the land for tobacco from Mr. Eaton and had secured D. Couch to help set the
field with his new tobacco setter.  The boys handling the plants had some
difficulty to get up to the machine so as to set the plants at the right
distance.  It kept two hands busy pulling plants fro the machine and it took
one team to haul the water.  In order to do good work with a tobacco setter
the ground must be like a lettuce bed, so to speak.

Another Club Holstein was shipped in last week from Gilberts, Illinois, for
Ray Hargis, at Hail, Ky.  The county agent had several orders for club calves
but he had difficulty in finding the right kind.  The small calves have so

that are ready to turn on pasture.
