Get Still In Home Of John Hart Near Eubank. Father Is Also Arrested. Prohibition Officers Winfrey and Bash, Sheriff Weddle and Policeman West found an 18-gallon copper still in the home of John Hart, about 4 miles Southeast of Eubank, last Saturday night. They arrested him and his father, Jeff Hart, and brought them before United States Commissioner Wesley. They were released on bond. The still was found in the home but no whiskey was found. The officers said that they found a line running from the house to a hog pen where the mash had been fed to the hogs. They found no worm. It is said that the officers have several other stills in the county located and will soon make another raid. They are determined to break up the illicit manufacture of whiskey in the county if they can. Gilmore. "Aunt" Mary Gilmore, age 88, one of Somerset's oldest citizens and loved by everyone who knew her, died last Saturday evening at her home on Mt. Vernon St., after a short illness. She had been enjoying fairly good health and only recently celebrated her 88th birthday by inviting quite a number of her friends to her home. Her son, Dr. Sam P. Gilmore, the only surviving member of the family, was present. Dr. Gilmore was a very devoted son and always made it a practice to visit his mother several times a year. On account of illness she was unable to attend the funeral. No person in Pulaski County had as many friends as "Aunt" Mary, and none enjoyed their company more than she did. She was very fond of young folks and liked to have them around her. She enjoyed relating stories of years ago, before the war. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.G. Montgomery, her pastor, Monday afternoon at the home on East Mount Vernon St. "Aunt" Mary was a devout member of the Christian Church and always attended when her healthy would permit. Interment followed in the city cemetery. Tibbals - Bobbitt. Mr. Harry G. Bobbitt and Miss Evelyn Tibbals were married at the Presbyterian Church parsonage by Rev. C.H. Talbot Saturday night at 7:30. Both of these young people are very popular in Somerset and have a host of friends who join The Journal in wishing them much happiness. Mrs. Bobbitt is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. F.E. Tibbals and Mr. Bobbitt is the son of Mr. J.W. Bobbitt. They will make their home with the bride's parents for awhile. Big Class Graduates At High School, Yesterday Marked Close of Year's Work. Another school year has gone into history. Yesterday marked the closing of a busy week for pupils, teachers and patrons. The week started with the baccalaureate sermon which was delivered by Rev. C.H. Talbot, of the Presbyterian Church. The services were held in the High School Auditorium and it was packed. On Monday, the 16th, there was chapel at 10 a.m., a grade exhibition at 2:30, and High School exhibition from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. At 8 that night the Junior reception for the Seniors was held. On Tuesday, May 17th, the Senior play, "The Worsted Man," was given to a large and appreciative audience. Wednesday afternoon was Class Day exercises and Thursday night came the final exercises of the Commencement program. The address was delivered by Governor Morrow and it was a real gem. Hundreds were unable to gain admission to the First Methodist Church, where the Class Day and Commencement exercises were held. The diplomas were presented by Judge James Denton, president of the Board of Education. In the graduating class were: Senior Class Roll. James Lane Allen, Sybil Barnett, Blanche Marian Campbell, Frank Herbert Carter, Pearlie Lee Castle, Sarah Jalla Catron, Mildred Cerena Faulkner, Glynn Gover, Marshall Hail, Jane Curd Hardin, Raymond Harkins, Ralph Ballou Hieatt, Helen Ghould Higgins, Elizabeth Dudley Inman, Elizabeth Evelyn Jasper, Kenneth Ben Johnson, pearl Dow Lowenthal, Ted Gaylor McDowell, Cora Belle Norris, Margaret B. Owens, Grace Charlotte Propst, Edna Gaithir Sears, Davie Hazel Shadoan, Gertrude R. Shoopman, Chester DeForest Silvers, Anna Laura Smith, Eva Taylor, Ray Smith Thurman, Bonnie Beatrice Tucker, Evelyn Bradley Vaughn. We congratulate this class of young men and women for having reached the goal for which they have been striving for years. They deserve the honors they have received and well merit the plaudits of a generous public. Citizens of Somerset have sacrificed much to build and maintain the excellent schools we have, and parents have experienced self denial and sacrifice to give their children this opportunity, and only lives of usefulness lived by the graduates will justify and pay the cost. Somerset has sent out from her schools every year young men and women who have taken front rank in the business and professional world and some have become distinguished. Our own Governor is a graduate of the Somerset High School. But we should not forget the work of Superintendent Hill, his able corps of teachers, an the cooperation of the Board of Education. This is Mr. Hill's first year with us but he has worked wonders and was unanimously re-elected for another year, as were all the teachers. Without competent leaders and able instructors such a fine class would have been impossible. Somerset is indeed fortunate in having a man of Mr. Hill's ability and experience as Superintendent of Schools. During the summer vacation a great many of the teachers will attend school. Supt. Hill will conduct a six weeks summer normal at Manchester, Ky. Busy Time Ahead For Candidates. Are Shaking The Bushes In The County. There is a busy time ahead for the candidates from now until the election. They have already begun to shake the bushes and will be active from now until November. The candidates who can not speak will trail along with the speakers and shake hands and tell yarns. Judge Bethurum will speak at the Court House next Monday. This will mark the opening of the campaign in this county. There will likely be other speakers. A large crowd is expected as it is the first day of Circuit Court. C.I. Ross, Napier Adams and C.M. Langdon have been touring the county for the past two weeks. They made several speeches. Judge Tartar has not opened his campaign yet but says he will open soon with a big road rally. Miss Stella May, candidate for County Court Clerk, is here to remain until after the election and is busy shaking hands with the voters. Miss Stella says that she will visit every section of the county and present her claims before the voters. Ben Hines and Ed Thurman, candidates for Sheriff, are busy every day. They have both been through certain sections of the county and say they feel satisfied with their chances of election. Judge Kennedy is making arrangements for a speaking tour that will take him in every precinct in every county. He announced last week that Judge W.B. Morrow and Attorney B.L. Waddle would take the stump in his behalf. There is not much interest in the other races at this time. There is talk of another entry in the race for Representative. Judge Bethurum has already made several speeches in his race. He spoke at Albany and Mt. Vernon. He plans a very active campaign and will cover every county in the district. Chris Tartar and Senator George Shadoan are both busy. The Senator, as is his usual custom, will walk over the county campaigning. Mr. Tartar will soon start his speaking tour. Decoration. We wish to express our sincere thanks to those from Somerset who attended the decoration services at Fairview Church, Sunday, the 15th. The services were held in honor of Comadore Burton, who died at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, December 5th, 1917. He was born on Sunday, May 15th, 1898. We also want to thank all those who took part in the exercises; the old soldiers and the young soldiers and all the people of this community who were present. May God bless his little school mates who decorated his grave. We have this day given to his school mates his enlarged picture for the school room. We again thank everyone who was present. Silas and Mary E. Burton. Nancy, Ky. Tag Day Results. Tag Day last Saturday for the "Old Kentucky Home" campaign netted $105. Up to this time, with contributions from lodges reported, about $400 has been raised on the quota of $500. It is thought the balance will be raised this week. The people have been very liberal in their donations and the Chairman, Mrs. J.E. Claunch, and those associated with her are to be congratulated on their splendid work. Two Suits Filed Against The Kentucky Utilities Company By The City. Two suits were filed by the City of Somerset this week against the Kentucky Utilities Company. The first suit is an action to compel the company to install water mains on certain streets in the city and the other suit is to force the company to make certain improvements of the streets between the car tracks and 18 inches on either side. The suits state that the City Council has repeatedly ordered this work done but the Utilities Company has refused to do same. They ask for an order from the court directing the company to make these improvements. The suits do not mention the street car service but it is said that the other suits will determine whether or not the franchise can be enforced and if it can, then certain improvements in the car service will be asked. Which ever way the suits are decided the Court of Appeals will likely be asked to pass on the question. Remove Poles From County Roads Unless, Is Order Given Utilities Co. By County. The Pulaski County Fiscal Court in session last Thursday ordered the Kentucky Utilities Company to remove their poles and wires from the county roads unless they reduced the price charged customers for light and water. When the City Council ordered the old rate established in Somerset the Utilities Company made a raise on all customers outside the city. The Fiscal Court appointed a committee to confer with the company. The following resolutions was unanimously passed by the Court: Whereas, the Kentucky Utilities Company is now charging patrons in the county of Pulaski, outside the City of Somerset, rates for water and light in excess of the rates now charged the patrons in the City of Somerset, and whereas said charges are in the opinion of this court, in violation of the agreement and franchise entered into by this court, with the aforesaid Kentucky Utilities Company: Be it resolved by this court, that we demand that the said Kentucky Utilities Company reduce the said rates to the figures now paid by the patrons of the said company residing within the limits of the City of Somerset, for the reason that said rates are excessive and discrimatory, and in violation of the franchise entered into with this court. Be it further resolved that unless the said Kentucky Utilities Company complies with this order within a reasonable time, that this court declare the said franchise void, and that it order steps to be taken to remove all poles and apparatus of said company off the public roads of Pulaski County. Be it resolved that a copy of this resolution and order be furnished to the officials of the aforesaid Kentucky Utilities Company. No Slackers Here. The War Department has notified Dr. A.J. Wahl, who was chairman of the draft board, that there were be no names of slackers to publish in Pulaski County. All those whose names were on the list have been accounted for. This is quite an honor for old Pulaski. Soldier Buried. Mr. Al Wallace returned from Monticello Monday where he buried Lee Shearer, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Shearer was killed in France in 1918. The American Legion had charge of the services. This is the first body that has been shipped back to Wayne County. For Mayor. A petition that has already been signed by several hundred citizens, is being circulated asking Mr. O.G. Petersen to make the race for Mayor of Somerset. Should he decide to get into the fight, we believe he would have a large following and we are satisfied that he would make a splendid Mayor. Taxi Company Will Likely Operate Bus Line In Somerset. Promoters Were Here. Mr. Costello, owner of the Monticello Taxi Company, was in the city last week and talking to our business people about the operation of a bus line to the Ferguson shops. He said he met with a good deal of encouragement and would likely begin operation soon. Mr. Costello now operated a line between Burnside and Monticello and he proposes to use the same kind of cars in Somerset. They will carry about twenty passengers and are built like a street car. He says that he will put into service here three cars and make regular trips with a schedule. Mr. Costello said that he found every business man in Somerset interested in his proposition. A price of 10 cents will be charged for a trip to the shops. The business men of the town are interested in any movement that will give the people transportation. They say they are losing business every day on account of the rotten street car service. Buys Farm. Judge J.S. Cooper bought the farm of Rev. John Hudson on the Stanford Pike, this week. He put his pretty home on North Main St. in on the deal. The farm contains about 50 acres and it is said the price paid was around $300 an acre. New Station. The Main Street Garage has just installed a new Crown gasoline filling station that is the latest design put out by the Standard Oil Co. It is very attractive and increases efficiency in handling this product. Preacher Candidates. Rev. Alexander Coleman, a Baptist minister, is running for jailer in the Republican primary in Pike County. Rev. Ed Hubbard is running for sheriff on the Republican ticket in Garrard County. Rev. W.M. Durham wants to be the Republican surveyor of Rockcastle County. Rev. John A. Lee, a Baptist minister of Owen County, has announced in the Democratic primary for State Senator from the counties of Owen, Boone, Grant, Gallatin and Pendleton. Rev. A.J. Kidd, another Baptist minister of Pine Knot, wants to represent the Republicans in the Legislature from the McCreary - Wayne district. Real Estate Market Strong. Sales of the following real estate was made by the real estate firm of S.J. Clarkson & Son during the one month from April 14 until May 14, 1921: the Andy Anderson farm, the E.R. Powers farm, the Arthur Baker farm, the J.E. Hudson farm. City property sold: Jason Lawhorn, 5 town lots; G.C. Miller's house and five lots; Walter G. Hines house and lot; J.L. Wilders house and lot; J. Sherman Cooper's residence, N. Main St. The above sales aggregated the sum of $45.000. Former Somerset Boy To Edit College Paper. Lexington, Ky. May 12 - Gerald Griffin, formerly of Somerset, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, was elected editor-in-chief of the Kernel, official student newspaper at the Univ. of Ky., at a meeting of the staff of the publications yesterday. Burton Prewitt, of Mt. Sterling, and chosen business manager, and Dan Bomar, of Versailles, and Irene McNamara, of Mt. Sterling, managing editors. The newspaper is published semi-weekly and the managing editors alternate in supervising the handling of the news. P.M. Brown Will Likely Hold His Office Until His Term of Office Expires. The recent executive order of President Harding regarding postmasterships may be more of a bombshell to local Republicans than was at first believed. It now appears that the postmaster plum at Somerset will not fall to the G.O.P. lot until next April, when the term of office of R.S. Brown, incumbent, expires. Under the executive order when a vacancy exists or occurs in the position of postmaster the office becomes open for competitive examination. It had been believed a Republican successor to Mr. Brown would be named before his term expired. Announcement. Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Spann wish to announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Clemmie Francis, to Mr. Chas. F. Harrison of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were quietly married Friday evening, May 13th, at the home of Rev. W.L. Clark. Miss Spann met Mr. Harrison while visiting her sister, Mrs. Graham, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison will remain in Somerset until the first of June, when they will make their home in Phoenix, Arizona, where Mr. Harrison will work for a large rubber manufacturing company with head offices in Akron, O. Their many friends wish them much happiness and prosperity. Frazier - Kinne. The McCreary County Record of the 12th had the following item that will be read with interest here: "It is our good fortune to announce herewith the wedding of W.A. Kinne and Miss Lena Frazier, which event took place at the home of the bride at Lawrenceburg, Ky., on Wednesday, May 4th. The wedding was a very quite one, only the family attending, and the couple returned to Stearns that same night and are now most comfortably established at the remodeled and renovated cottage of the groom. On Thursday night a crowd went over to wish them welcome, as W.A. is about the most popular man in town and likes lots of company. Mr. and Mrs. Kinne have the best wishes of a host of friends and we know their married life will be a most happy one." Mr. Kinne is well known in Somerset where he has many friends who extend congratulations and best wishes. Want Service. Many residents of Ferguson and South Somerset have called at The Journal office during the past week to make a complaint against the street car service given them. They all say that they would be willing to pay 10 cents fare if they could have the right kind of service and better cars to ride in. They say that they are now forced to pay 25 cents and 50 cents taxi hire in order to come to this part of town. Residents Kicking. People living on Jacksboro St. are complaining of the automobiles using that street as a speedway. They say that autos race up and down there at forty and fifty miles an hour and the life of pedestrians is endangered. Not only that, they claim the street is being torn up by this unnecessary speeding. The Mayor has directed the Chief of Police to arrest every one guilt of speeding. The people living on Jacksboro should get the number of cars that are violating the law and have the driver arrested. Street Cars Run In Barn When City Begins Work On Streets. Broke Down? Are the street cars broken down again or did the company deliberately quit running the cars when the city started work of raising the car track on College St.? That is the question the Mayor and citizens are going to try and solve. At the Utilities office it was said that the car had burned out a motor and was forced to go to the shop for repairs. It had only been in operation for two days. An employee of the company stated that the cars couldn't operate very well while the track was torn up. The Mayor said that the City Council next Monday night would take up the street car matter and discuss it. He said that the company could not cease operation of the cars at their own pleasure. The Journal still maintains that the company should have been granted a 10 cents car fare and all this trouble would have been avoided and we would now be riding in brand new cars with a fifteen minute schedule. Kentucky Women Must Pay Poll Tax. Along with the privileges of full citizenship, the women of rural Kentucky will assume the obligation of paying a poll tax. This tax is for the benefit of the county common schools. Heretofore the poll tax has referred specifically to "males" 21 years or older, but the new county school law provides that the Fiscal Court "shall impose upon all legal voters, residing in the territory affected by the ad valorem, a capitation tax of not more than $1 each." What Billy Did. Here's Billy Sunday's record in Cincinnati during his recent revival: Preached 103 sermons, speaking approximately 1,000,000 words. Spoke before audiences totaling from one-half to three-quarters of a million persons. Induced about 15,000 men and women to "hit the sawdust trail" in 38 days of trail-hitting. Talked to 40,000 persons on his last day in the city, getting 2,200 of them to come down the trail. And left the Queen City with a free will offering of $31,000 with many checks still coming in. Sinn Feiners To Terrorize London. Violence Carried To London - Sinn Fein Is Blamed For Campaign Of Terror. Suburbs Swept By Bands Of Radicals - Civilians Slay Daughter of Masonic Leader - Woman Pleads In Vain For Life Of Clergyman. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London. - Violence, involving bloodshed, and which police attribute to a Sinn Fein campaign to terrorize London, was commenced at midnight in various suburbs of London and also at St. Albans, 21 miles northwest of London. Several of the suburban towns were visited by armed men, whose primary object appears to have been arson, but who, when interrupted, resorted to shooting. Three persons were wounded, one of them probably fatal. A man and his wife in St. Albans were shot. In a majority of the case the houses set on fire were occupied by persons associated with the Royal Irish Constabulary. The police assert that for several days there have been reports in Dublin that raiders were planning a campaign in London. A band of radicals, who set fire to the house of one of the members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, also shot and wounded severely a tenant of another member of the constabulary. At Tooting, raiders fired the residence of the father of a member of the constabulary. Similar acts were carried out in West Kensington. In one place the raiders evidently made a visit to the wrong place, but in a scuffle with the occupants of the house, they shot and wounded a man and his wife. Attempts at arson were made at E. Greenwich and Battersea, but were frustrated. In North Woolwich raiders set fire to a margarine factory, but the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. At St. Albans a former member of the auxiliary of the Royal Irish constabulary and his wife were shot by raiders who visited their home. The raiders also hit them on their heads and left them for dead. The wounds, however, proved to be only superficial. Train Wrecked; Hummer Hits Switch. Bloomington, Ill. - Chicago & Alton Train No. 6, known as the "Hummer," ran into an open switch at 50 miles per hour at Shirley, Ill., five miles south of Bloomington. A relief train hurriedly was made up and rushed to Shirley. A number of persons are believed to have been killed and injured. Record Smashed By Aviatrix. Mineolo, Ny., Miss Laura Bromwell, 23 year old aviatrix, broke the world's loop-the-loop record for her sex when her plane, starting at the height of 8,000 feet, performed 199 complete loops before landing. The flight took place at Curtiss Field. Miss Bromwell wore the uniform of a Lieutenant in the New York Aerial Police Department. American Legion News. A military band from Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, with American and American Legion flags in a procession, was passing through the central section of St. Louis. As they neared a prominent corner, a man yelled out: "I'll bet this two dollar bill that I won't take off my hat for those flags." He lost to a Legion man nearby. Likewise he lost his hat, which hit the street with such force that further use was out of the question. An investigation conducted by the Indiana Department of the American Legion in regard to conditions at Valparaiso Univ., charged by its president, who later resigned, with being a "hotbed of Bolshevism," resulted in the stain of un-Americanism being removed from the school. The head of the student body is an ex-service man and fifty-two of the students are Legion members. The Government recently closed a contract for the education of 500 more disabled veterans at "the poor man's Harvard." Marriage Licenses. County Clerk Langdon has issued the following marriage licenses during the past week. Estle Flynn, 24, to Grace Frisbie, 19; Charles F.
