>
Col. Dee Thompson, father of Mrs.
Marshall Jones, died at his home in
Deport Tuesday morning. He
had been afflicted with cancer of the
stomach and for some time physicians
have held out no hopes for his recov-
ery. Mrs. Marshall Jones has been
at his bedside for two weeks and Mon-
day evening Marshall left for Deport
in response to a message stating that
he was not expected to live through
the night.
The deceased was a prominent citi-
zen of his community and was held
in high esteem by a large circle of
friends.
Interment will take place at Deport
Wednesday at 4 p. m., conducted by

appropriations of funds for Federal
aid for road projects and the activi-

road-building programs the predic-

They are both highly in favor of the

the purpose of constructing and im-
proving roads and bridges, and where
a constitutional alteration or amend-
ment to overcome either or all of such

referendum at a general election, the
sum of which such State is entitled
under the method of apportionment
provided in the act of July 11, 1916, or
any act amendatory thereof, shall be
withdrawn by the Secretary of the
Treasury from the principal fund ap-
propriated by the act of July 11,1916,
or any act amendatory thereof, shall
be withdrawn by the Secretary of the
Treasury from the principal fund ap-
propriated by the act of July 11, 1916,
or any act amendatory thereof, upon
the receipt of the certification of the
governor of such State to the exist-

separate fund for future disbursement
as hereinafter provided: Provided fur-
ther, That when, by referendum, the
constitutional alterations or amend-

the sum so withdrawn have been ap-

shall be deemed to prevent any State

principal sum as is available under its
existing constitution and laws: Pro-

In this fashion the Federal Govern-

citizen, has been most forcefully
brought to the attention during
