When it came to the election, of three directors to take the plqce of those expiring, Mr. Stewart wanted to be allowed to quit but the mem bers would not allow it.

Herring stated that Mr. Wiley Thompson would have a num ber of hands at work on some buildings across the creek pretty soon doing some building for him and that they would erect these buildings at a reasonable cost. Mr. Fred Swindell called attention to the festivities that had been started at the Commonwealth Club in this city of which he is president, and that an orchestra had been en gaged at a cost of $5.50 per head each night with as many pieces as required and these made good dance music. It was the intention of the Commonwealth Club to have these dances every month.

Official ad vices from various parts of Mexico, which have been received here daily for the past two weeks indicate the situation in the northern part of that country is due to the opera tions of Francisco Villa, and is more serious than have hitherto been re ported. It was learned today from an authoritative source that Villa and his organized force of rebels was now threatening parts of Du rango, as well as Chihuahua to the north. American mining men it was learned have asked for special trains to be ready to remove them and their families from the danger zone when Villa approaches. Officials as serted, however, that as yet no American had been molested by the Villistas and that Villa himself had treated all Americans with consid eration. Some American property, has, however, been taken by the Villistas when they needed food, ma terial and funds, and Villa has stat ed that this would be considered as a tax inasmuch as Carranza to whom they had been paying taxes, could no longer protect them. The capture and sacking of Par- ral by Villistas has been confirmed in detail by reports received within the last three days. A number of other important places are said to have been taken by the rebls and in each instance the federal garrison went over to the Villistas with little' opposition. The situation in Chihua hua City is said to be grave. Villa forces threaten to take that city soon, according to the advices and will have little difficulty In doing so as Villa is .said to have agents in the city at present working with the federal garrison in an effort to hare them lay down arms after a mere pretense of fighting Villa, himself, it was learned through an authorita tive advice today, is now at the head of a large force at Gomez Farias, only six miles from Torreon. AUTOMOBILE OWNERS If you continue to run your auto mobiles without having them num bered and lighted to conform with the law, I shall be compelled to en force the law. I find there are at least one-fourth of the automobiles in Wilson County that are not right and every one knows whether his car is right or not. I am re quested by the State Highway Commission to look after this at once or my bond will be upset. Respectfully, B. E. Howard, Sheriff. May 22 3td., ltwk. WANTED TO GET IN SUBWAY And Hide from Attentions ered on Him, a Brave Soldier Boy. New York, May 23. Sergeant Al vin C. York, who received the con- the "distinguished soldier." York's toast was drunk standing, sandwiched in between one to Pres ident Wilson and another to Major General Duncan and so many times was Sergeant York eulogized and spoken of, he heard the toastmas ter hesitate as he started to intro duce the 82nd division's command ing general as "Sergeant er, that is Major-General Duncan!" Jhen it came York's turn to stand up and address the diners, he showed his modest simplicity: "I guess you all understand that I'm just a soldier and not a speak er," he said. "I'm just a soldier boy but I want to thank the socie ty, and General Duncan, and I want vou all to know that- what you have Show- done for me is highly appreciated and I never shalll forget it. Thank you very much." Today was one round of festivi- gressional medal of honor for the ties for Sergt. York. From morning mightiest single handed achievement until long after his "regular bed- of the war in which he killed 20 Germans, took 132 more prisoners and put 36 enemy machine gun nests out of business in the Ar- gonne, wound up a day of unsuc cessful effort to "get into New York City's subway" by hearing himself proclaimed the "greatest soldier in history," at a dinner of the Ten nessee Society in his honor at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight. . York, second elder in the Church of Christ and Christian Union in the lilttle Tennessee village of Pall Mall on the Lone Wolf river, was flanked on either side at the speaker's table by Major-General George Duncan and Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves, commander of the cruiser and trans port force of the navy who "sent him overseas and brought him back." Not only that but a tele gram from the Secretary of War was read to him. in which Mr. Baker asked that his "very sincerest re time" he was hurried about the city in taxicabs, touring cars and limou sines. He was shunted from one place of interest and one reception to another until "eating time" at the Waldorf gave him a breathing spell. Then he announced modestly and with no offense intended, that all day long he had wanteA to do "just one thing get into the sub way." "That's one place I suredo want to see," he sighed tonighJK At dinner Sergeant YjPf was hail ed as the soldier "who has distin guished himself above all men in the war, In the achievement of the greatest individual deed in his tory." PROFESSOR PEGRAM PROFESSOR EMERITUS At the close of the present col lege year Professor William How- gards" be personally conveyed to ell Pegram will be given Ihe po sition of Professor Emeritus of Chemistry-1 Professor Pegram, while he assumes an apparantly nominal and honorary position, will still be the head of the Department of Chemistry and will do whatever work in this department that he may wish to do. He will be reliev ed, however, of any heavy burdens connected with the teaching work. Professor Pegram stands out am ong the really remarkable charac ters in the educational history of the State. He has been connected with Trinity College as instructor and professor for nearly half a cen tury. No one can estimate the value or extent of his work. For many generations he has had a wonderful influence on the student body at Trinity College. A scientist of thoro and far reaching information, he js at the same time a man of profound convictions and high faith . This rare combination has caused him to be of more than ordinary influ ence n a world of changing thought and shifting religious opinions. The students who have been influenced by this "friend of those who would live in the spirit" are legion. The class of 1873 of which pro fessor Pegram was member has furnished more than one extraordin ary man to the world. Perhaps the best known of these in Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, constructive leader of Democratic policies in North Carolina, and national fig ure second to none. Senator Sim mons has played a leading part In the marvelous task which has occu pied the attention of the country in recent years. It is of interest to note that Dr. George BS Pegram is a distinguish ed educator connected with oiie of the leading universities of the country. He is at present Dean of the Deaprtment of Applied Sciences of Columbia University., New York City. , CLASSIFIED ADS FOR SALE.-A lease on building and fixtures conveniently located in Wilson, containing 18 rooms and cafe, all furnished.
