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

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

some larger calves
that are ready to turn on pasture.
