Butler People to Hear
Hon. iule Felton Sunday,
The officials at the courthouse
report that some one has borrow
ed from the “temple of justice 1
the 1917 Tax Digest of Taylor
County. They say that the im
mediate return of this essential
record will be greatly appreciated.
Spot cotton now seems to be
headed definitely toward forty
cents a pound, or thereabout. This

that there is prospect of consid
erable hold-over from the crop of
last year, and also of a larger crop
this year than usual.

romville, is the admired guest of

The many friends of Miss Mattie
Wilson will regret to learn that on

It is a source of regret to the
many friends of Mr. Paul Biekley,

tendent of the Butler school, has
been called into selective army
service. He belongs to the Lon
don, Ky., quota, but by request

Gordon. This leaves our school
without a faculty head, but efforts
to fill the vacancy will be made at
once. Prof. Brown has many
warm friends here who regret
very much to give him up,
The usual hours of service, 11
a m., and 8:30 p. m., will be ob
served at the Methodist church

assure the public that the exer
cises of the day will be interest
ing and inspiring.

gram of each of these services,
will be an address by Hon. Jule

Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock
forty of Taylor^ young men re
sponded to their country's call and
assembled on the court house
lawn and were enrolled for mili
tary service, and were assigned
to Camp Gordon, where they will
go into training preparatory to
fighting the ruthless “Hun." At
the depot just before leaving
Revs.Mohn Lock and M. T. Gault-
ney made brief but interesting
talks, making a deep impression
on the splendid young men who
have offered themselves upon the
alter of their country.
Taylor county has responded
nobly to every demand made
upon her by our government,
Hardwick obstructionism to the
contrary, notwithstanding, but
nothing that has been done, or
may be done by any one, is com
parable to the sacrifice that has
been made by the young men, who
have offered themselves as a liv
ing sacrifice, in order that civili
zation may not be effaced from
the earth. Several hundred of
our boys are now in the ranks,
either on the firing line or in
training; and we believe that not
a set of boys have ever re
sponded to the call of our coun
try with more alacrity than have
boys in Taylor county. A large
crowd of our citizens were as
sembled at the court house Tues
day to bid these soldier boys
adieu, and bid them God-speed in
the work which they are entering.
Those responding to the call Tues
day were as follows:
Sam Boggs, L. H. Vanlanding-
ham, Howard J. Mitchell, E Hugh
Perkins, Gann Nelson, S T Craw
ford, Randal Waller, J. Moley
Rustin, J. D. Boggs, B L. Hobbs,

New Regulation Fof Registrants.
The local board has been ad
vised of three important changes
of former orders in the selection
of registrants for selective mili
tary service. First as to height

ond weight from 116 pounds to
