This annual anniversary should not be allowed to

ors who were connected with the army or navy in
aid of the suppression of the late rebellion, to
meet this Wednesday, evening, at seven o'clock
sharp, to make arrangements for the suitable OBJ

We learn that the Burial Ground Association OF
this city contemplate giving an entertainment in
Wilson Hall, on the evening of Decoration Day,
for the purpose Of adding to the funds of the AS

occupy the attention of tue multitude who will un-
doubtedly be in attendance on the occasion. Ar
engagements are in progress, so we understand, to
make this gathering of the people one of interest
and profit TO all.

Wheat Growing in Middle Tennessee

Nashville American, 10: Mr.
Archer Cheatham has raised on a
100 acre tract, between 1920 and
1900 bushels of wheat, entirely free
from smut or any other imperfec-
ton, and 1920 bushels of the same
kind in a 80 acre field. Mr.. John
Sperry yesterday bought 400 bush
els at 81 30, and Mr. Byrd Doug
las, having heard of its extraordina-
~ quality engaged 400 bushels at
ST. 36. Mr.. Cheataam says that he
will sell his entire crop as rapidly
as he gets it out, as he would ra-
ther have the cash than hold the
wheat even for better prices. with
the usual wastage and expense of
storage. In other words he be-
lieves in selling crop as soon as
harvested, if the price is anythln g
like commensurate with the labor
put upon it.

Hon. T. N. Jones.

Mr. EDIroR:-During the present
term of our Circuit Court we had
the pleasure of two weeks sojourn
with as of your distinguished
townsman, Judge 7. III Jones, and
his handsome son Lee. The Judge
was in attendance on the defense IN
the case of the State VS.. Robert L.
Bright, charged with manslaughter
in the killing of E. L. Allen on the
9TH of March last.
The dignifed, manly and courte-
Gus bearing of Judge Jones won for
him not only the esteem and respect
of our Bar, but the admiration of
our entire community. From what
we can learn, his stay was one of
continuous ovation, each wing with
the other in the bestowal of that
homage and respect so certainly
merited by him. We recognized in
him a gentleman of the first water
The Bright case occupied just one
week, and from the prominence of
the parties excited an interest per-
haps more intense and undated
than any trial in our county for
years. The skill and learning of
Judge Jones displayed during the
investigation challenged comment
on every hand, and his closing
speech for the defense will be re-
membered as one of the mastery
efforts of his life. The acquittal Of
Bright was regarded certainty, of
course, but the perfect and thor
ough manner of his vindication is
very much attributable to the wis
dom and high-toned leadership of
Judge Jones. We hope he may
visit US again and frequently, and
will not forget that Lincoln county
is proud of her sistership with
Giles, because Giles is the home of
Jones. H.
