L. C. GEE APPOINTED
ON GOVERNOR’S STAFF
m. r n • 7 we a11 wait Patiently for the
—— - --
interest to Whitewright people for
the reason that L. C. Gee is the fa-
ther of Mrs. Fred W. Smith of this
city:
“Prof. L. C. Gee, head of the de-
partment of education and economics
at Wesley College, was notified today
that he had been appointed as a mem-
ber of the official staff of Gov. Ruby
Laffoon of Kentucky and had been
given the rank of Colonel. The ap- _____ _________ _____x
pointment was made following the I call on John Henry
recommendation of Judge Basil1 for further informal
Richardson of Glasgow, Ky., with
whom Prof. Gee attended college.
“The certificate of the appoint-
ment was received today by Prof.
Gee who was born and reared in
Kentucky. He has been a resident of
Greenville for a number of year and
prominent in school work here for
more than a quarter of a century.
“Prof. Gee’s appointment is one
of the highest honors a governor can
bestow and he was today being i
gratulated. Friends of Prof. Gee
planning to henceforth refer to
as ‘Colonel Gee’.”
Albert Lea Jackson, grandson of
Dr. and Mrs. R. May, was operated
on Wednesday evening for appendi-
citis. He was stricken Wednesday
about noon and suffered considerable
pain until operated on. His appendix
was in a bad condition when
moved. The operation was
formed at the home of Dr. May.
As the war between the states
dragged out its tragic length, women
in the North began decorating the
steadily multiplying graves of their
loved ones with the flowers that
biaghtened the countryside. After
the war the Grand Army of the Re-
public made the decoration of the
graves of the Union dead a part of its
ritual; and Gen. John A. Logan, com-
mander-in-chief of the G. A. R., des-
ignated May 30 for that purpose.
This was the origin of “Decoration
Day,” which is now known more ap-
propriately as “Memorial Day.”
The Southern States also set apart
days for decorating the graves of the
Spring unlocks
down \in Dixie
a number of'the
southernmost states hold their me-
morial ceremonies on April 26. The
day observed in North Carolina and.
Kentucky is May 10, while in Ten-
nessee it is June 3. Alone among the
states that seceded, Virginia lays her
floral tribute on the graves of the
Gray on the same day that the graves
of the Blue are decorated in the
North, and the ceremonies are equal-
ly impressive.—Detroit Free Press.

not fail to be there. Excuses are
easily found and if you permit it,
they will be on hand every time for
your absence. Do not allow it. Come.
