A circular has been issued by Com

the Tennessee Bureau of Agriculture
Statistics, Mines and Immigration, dated

1t is hoped there may be a full
attendance of representative men from

Revival services have been in full force
lately at Sedgemoor, frequent and long meet

Huntsville, in the adjoining county, four young
men from Lexington, KY, have also been
holding revival meetings, in connection with
the Presbyterians. They propose spending a

FARMING IN THE NORTH
WEST.
TIE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE.

Only spring wheat can ever be raised
mp here, and spring wheat is all that
the people think, talk, and dream Of.
The famous Dalrymple farm is surely a
success. 1t is said to have $4,000
acres under the plough and in wheat.
The farm is supposed to be reall y owned
by the railroad company that has the
100000 acres Of land for SALE Col.
Dalrymple is splendid organizer and
executive officer, and when he has the
treasury Of a railway company for a
base, he well may be. The farm is
the largest advertising scheme in this
country, and as such is a most decided
success. But, as remunerative paying
farm, it is failure 1t did not come
near paying expenses last year. Small
farmers in the middle and eastern
States may be. sure to make complete
failure here in attempting to farm with
one solitary crop, that of spring wheat.
They have no railroad treasury to fall
back upon, nothing but their own
exertions and scanty means If the
corporation farm fails to pay expenses,
how can they expect to make money
under the many disadvantages that
they have to contend withl
made particular enquiry as to the
effect Of this repeated wheat cropping
upon the fertility of the soil, and
learned that .fve or sac crops will ruin
and exhaust the land and there is
nothing whereaoih to reyenerate it. A
rotation of crops, which the eastern and
southern farmer brings to renew the
strength of his soil, is here an utter I'M
posS10l5lfy. Corn ca not be raised ; the
season is far too short even for the
dwarf varieties Of New England. Oats
and barley are raised to some extent,
but they will only further impoversh
the soil that refuses to produce wheat.

The term Lynch Law, us commonly
in use in the Uhited States, is per
sonifcation Of violent and illegal Justice.
According to some authorities, the
term was derived from Virginia farmer
named Lynch. But it can be traced to
a much earlier date, in Ireland. When.
in 1893, James Fitzstephens Lynch was
Mayor and Warden of Galway, he
traded largely with Spain, and sent his
son thither for cargo of wine. The
young man squandered the money in
trusted to him, but succeeded in
running into debt for a cargo to a
Spaniard, by whose nephew he was
accompanied i'll the return voyage to
Ireland, where the money was to be
paid. Young Lynch, to conceal his
dedication, caused the Spaniard to be
thrown overheard, and was received at
home with great honor. But sailor
revealed to the Mayor of Galway the
crime which his son had committed
The young man was tried before his
own father, convicted and sentenced to
be hanged. His family and others
determined to prevent the execution.
The father, finding that the sentence
could not be carried into effect the
usual way, conducted his son to win
dow overlooking the public street, with
his own hands fastened the halter
attached to his neck to a staple in the
wall and acted as his executioner. In
the council books Of Galway there is
said to be a minute that James Lynch
Mayor of Galway, hanged his son, out
ofthe window, for defrauding and killing
strangers, without martial or common
law, to show a good example to
postcrity.-&. Louis GtoJs-Dehocrat.

DEAR LEE-lf the Overflow has
not taken you of, ! guess you are
still hunting " "items," or ducks, ouc,
so I'll send you down one:
Your old acquaintance, Da,.d
Metzgar, committed suicide yester-
day, by blowing his brains out with
shotgun, at his residence. Cause,
unknown. He has been in bad
health since last fall, and has fire.
quently said he had rather be dead
than alive in such health, and that if
he did not improve soon, he would
kill himself, but no one thought he
really meant it. Yesterday, about
2 p. m, he went to his kitchen, and
asked his wife for some milk, which
he was in the habit of taking daily.
After drinking three cups of milk,
he quietly passed back to his room,
closing all doors as he passed through,
and Immediately shot himself. 1t
seems that he held the muzzle of the
gun to the right side oe his mouth
with his right hand and pulled the
trigger with his left, the load pass
ing obliquely upward and backward,
tearing off most of the side of his
head and face, and / don't think
there was single bone in his head
left unbroken, the gun being loaded
with 'slugs.' An inqujsition held
before Esquire T. H. Musgrave, to-
day, resulted in verdict of suicide.
David Metzgar was born in Brown
county, Ohio, Nov. 22nd., 1906. Has
lived in this county "a years. His
remains were taken by skiff this eve.
