Mr. Davis said: "This price

gives Ford the lowest priced
coupe and fcudor sedan in its field.
This is in keeping with Ford's
raditional policy of providing
more and better cars at the lowest
possible cost to the buyer."
Mr. Davis revealed that ordets
for new Ford cars during 1940
surpassed all industry record#.

with the daughter of Colonel Zach-

In 1845 he was elected to Con-
gress, and in 1846 he resigned his
seat in Congress to go to the
Mexican War. At Buena Vista the
gallantry of himself and his regi-
ment turned the tide of battle and
won the day.
He made his first appearance in
The United States Senate in 1847
by appointment of the Governor to
fill a vacancy. He resigned from
the Senate in 1851 to canvass his
state for Governor, but was de-

life one year and was then ap-

Southern Confederacy. He was
elected to the presidency after the
adoption of the Constitution, in
November, 1861, for a term ot
six years.
After the war he was for two
years confined in the Fortress
Montroe on the charge of treason,
which only served to increase the
sympathy of the Southern people.
The one unwritten chapter in
our Constitutional history is that
which relates to the refusal of the
United States to try Jeff Davis
for treason. He was released on
Habeas Corpus with several men
signing his bond.

Two thousand people took part
on Wednesday, the 11th, in the
most imposing ceremony ever wit
nessed in the South, the obsequies
of Jefferson Davis.
Bishop Gallagher gavr the
sermon, the Rev. Mr. Mackham
read the lesson, the Rev. Mr.
Martin repeated the psalm, The
Rev. Mr. Badcwell the Vesicles

at the City Hall, which although
simple and brief, were wonder-
fully impressive. During this p«-r
