Heart Attack Is Fatal to Well-
Known Taylor County
Farmer
Mr. Joe J. Bone, 51 year of age,
well-known and highly esteemed Tay
lor county farmer, died unexpected
ly at his home near Butler about five
o’clock Friday afternoon last.
Mr. Bone had been in ill health for
several months, however his condition
had apparently ‘been somewhat im

Which recalls to mind the story
told of Cardinal Richilus and his cat.
I Tho French statesman was seated at
his desk writing the first king touch
es to a new law which was highly
favorable to King Louis XIII, and
which the king had already decided to
veto. The Cardinal’s cat, whose
name, unfortunately, has been lost
to posterity, was curled up asleep on
the long, flowing sleeves of his mas
ter’s court robe when an officer ar
rived to announce the audience with
the king. Rather than ddtsturb his
pet, the Cardinal cut off the silk
sleeve of his robe and appeared thus
before his ruler and the nobles of
the court of France.
Tie astounded Louis demanded
urination of his premier's uncourt-
appearance, and the statesman ex'
plained the situation.
The King of France replied, “If
ifis Eminence the Cardinal de
Richeleue is so solicitous of the com
fort of his cat, surely he must have
at heart the welfare of the people of
France. The new law shall receive
my signature.”
Thus a cat was responsible for the
llaw of an empire.

the largest and best plantations in
the Red Level community near town.
Besides his many relatives ,Mr Bono
