THE CENTENNIAL.
Preparations for Having Giles coun-
ty Properly Represented.


The county centennial committee
met Saturday morning last, Chair
man Rose presiding. Various
plans for having Giles county
properly and extensively represent
ed at the exposition were discussed.
1t was decided that Chairman Rose
should visit Nashville at an early day
and see if the committee there will
not designate day on which Giles
county can be heard, as well as ex-
hibit such relics associated with her
early history as she may see fit to
collect. In the event the committee
accedes to this request, Col. Rose
will deliver brief address appro
pirate to the occasion, he having
been selected to discharge this duty
by his colleagues on the local com
mittee. 1t was suggested that own.
ers of relics of historical charac'
ter be requested TO report them To
the committee with view to plac
ing them on exhibition during the
centennial provided the necessary
arrangements can be made. W.
understand that there are several o
these in the county that possess
more than ordinary interest. Maj
Marion Childress has a Scotch
prayer book printed in 1926, which
was read by his great-grsndmothe
while her husband stood picket nea
Nashville when that city was a vii
derness.
Another interesting relic belong
to Mrs. A. A. Lindsay. 1t is
chair made by her grandfather a
Buchanan's fort a century age
when that place of defense was sur
rounded by hostile Indians. 1t i
made of plain split wood and re
mains in a remarkable state of pres
ervation. The committee decides
to exhibitlthis chair at the exposi
ton.
1t is said that Mr.. Mel Patterson
has the rifle that mis- father carrie'
through the Creek war. This ven
cradle weapon is six feet long ant
carries fifteen balls to the pound
Relics of this character would ex
cite general interest and their exhi
bition would be creditable to tn
county, as well as an appropriate
feature of the exposition.
The members OF the committe
deserve thanks for the interest the,
are manifesting in these matters
and their efforts to stimulate count,
pride are worthy of all praise.

In April last, Mr.. j. Ii. Burrow,
of Lynnville, received a quart of
red Brazilian artichokes of the Ag-
ricultural department at Washing
ton. He planted in a row fifty
yards long, cultivating them like
potatoes, and the crop far exceeds
his expectations, he having already
dug six bushels from eleven yards
of the row. He is confident the
fifty yards will produce % bushels,
and, at this rate, an acre would
yield $500 bushels. This has an
important bearing on the hog ques-
ton, as there is no better or more
nutritious food for swine than the
artichoke, especially the variety
mentioned. Mr.. Burrow says two
acres will feed all the hogs that are
usually kept on farm of average
size. The plant requires good rich
soil, but as it propagates itself after
the first year and is quite prolific
its cultivation is an easy matter
Mr.. Burrow has a few for sale at
$I.50 per bushel, but ii any person,
skeptical as to their merits, wishes
to try them before purchasing, he
will furnish enough, free of charge
for that purpose. .

We are informed that Mr.. Rob
ert Rodes was offered $40 per acre,
in cash, for his farm of 1000 acres,
near Wales, a few days ago, by a
gentleman living at a distance,
whose name we did not learn. Mr..
Rodes' farm is one of the finest in
Middle Tennessee, and we doubt
whether there is another in the
state that excels it in fertility OF
soil and elaborateness of improve
ment. Thus, whilet he price offered
seems large,in view of the deprecia-
tion in real estate,it is by no means
above the real value of the proper
ty. Still, 1t may be construed as 8
favorable omen in that it affords
evidence of a disposition on the
part of men of means to invest in
real estate.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Crow, as was
suggested in a previous issue of the
CITIZEN, celebrated their golden
wedding Wednesday of last week.
The occasion was q very interesting
one and rendered doubly so to the
venerable couple by the visits of
old friends who called during the
day to extend their congratula-
tions. Among these were Mrs. A.
j. Ballentine, Mrs. Harriet Suttle,
| Mr.. Mel. Patterson and Col. A. II.
Alternately who, strange as it may
seem, was only eight years of age
when the venerable couple Joined
hands at the hymeneal altar. AS
was fitting on such an occasion,
youth mingled in the scene, thus
presenting the not unpleasing con-
trast between life's joyous begin
ming and its serene decline. AT night
Mr.. and Mrs. Crow re ceived their
friends again, RECALLING them with
an elegant supper, some of the choice
concomitants of which found their
way to the CITIZEN office where they
were rehshed and quickly disposed
of. While the fondest hopes of their
friends cannot frame a wish for the
recurrence of this felicitous episode
in the annals of their long and hap
ply married life, for the limit to hu-
man life and human happiness
presses hard upon the knowledge
OF all, yet they can breathe the as
piration, with some hope of its fulfill
ment, that they may live to celebrate
several anniversaries OF their happy
union, and that each one may find
them surrounded by children and
grand children who will delight IN
honorlng their gray hairs.

We are glad to learn that consid-
cradle interest is now being felt in
this county in the culture of bees,
especially in the neighborhood of
Lynnville, where Messrs j. III. Bur
row, j. B. Bray, Albert Compton,
DR.. NJ. NJ. johnson, DR.. j. +. Fry
and others are devoting considera-
BILE attention to this profitable, but
much neglected branch of industry.
Mr.. Bray, who is an enthusiastic
apiarist, has just received through
New York firm a very fine queen,
imported direct from Italy. He is
also engaged in the manufacture OF
stands by machinery and has facili'
ties for making one hundred hives
a day. Mr.. Bray informs us that
the warm weather has been very ia
vorable to bees and the prospect
for an unusually productive season
is very flattering. In view of thii
fact, as well as the probability o.
early swarms, he suggests that bee
keepers should begin the work Of
preparing their hives sooner than
usual. Mr.. Bray also thinks, from
the present system of handling
bees, that they should not be kept
any longer in log gums.

some aspirations in that line them

| The Chattanooga News-Chroni-
Gle says the way for southern news
papers to capture the negro vote is
to put chicken at the head of
their columns. The suggestion is
by no means a bad one, but the
better way is to build 6 coop around
the chicken, set it In the backyard,
extinguish the light and let the ne
gro vote capture the chicken. This
method involves the loss Of fowl,
but it conciliates our northern
brethren.
A prize of one hundred dollars is

A Pulaski lady whose husband
is away from home, was aroused
from her SAUNDERS a few nights ago
by strange noise in the kitchen.
Being a brave little woman, she
snatched a pistol and went to see
what was the matter. She found a
queer locking animal making itself
at home in the culinary department,
and playing the deuce with the
untensils. Without pausing to in

blazed away. the bullet flying wide
