industry. With the Paducah, Ten
nessee, and Alabama Railroad built
to this place, Camden would grow
rapidly, manufacturers would be
attracted here, and in few years
Camden would become a prominent
business and commercial point be-
tween Chicago and Birmingham.
Being high and dry, Camden is
well located to make a big town.
AS stated before, there is no need
to argue the question of the vital
necessity of another railroad to
Camden, and in view Of this neces-
sity and the near approach of this
road, let us delay not a moment in
securing it for Camden, and the
manufactures, and capital, and inn
migration will come with it.

MASS MEETING.

Pursuant to call for mass
meeting to discuss ways and means
for securing the Paducah, Tennes-

thusiastic audience composed of
citizens of Camden and vicinity
met at the court house Saturday
evening.

temporary chairman, and. Landon

The object in calling the meet
ing was briefly explained, and
Prof HI. W. Mannon, who has tax
en- quite an interest in the mat
ter, stated that he had written to
the railroad parties to- ascertain
what proposition they proposed to
submit to the citizens of Benton
County to bring the road to Cam
den, and had hoped to be able to
make known the result Of the cor
respondence at this meeting, but
had failed to receive a reply up to
date. He read an encouraging let
ter from DR.. G.. I. Morris, of Paris,
stating that he would assist US in
every way possible to get the road
Tom G. Rye, esq.,, made an en-
thusiastic speech, stating that the
building of this road to Camden
was the desire of every man, wo.
man, and child in Benton County
and urged the importance of every
citizen in the county aiding the
move to get the road in the mos
cordial spirit of cooperation; tina
this is the only way in which We
can succeed, and, therefore, The
only way in which thewhole coun
ty can be fully benefited is for tn,

in few years be the leading trunk
line in the South, connecting Cam
den with Birmingham and Chica-
go, two of the most important and
progressive cities in the United
States, and the advantages to be
derived from such a connection
was apparent to every citizen in
the county, and there was no doubt
that with the proper effort the road
would be built to Camden.
S. L. Peeler, esq, urged imme-

the road; that the Importance Of

Rev, A. G. McRae explained how
we might secure the road without
putting the county to any expense
whatever, stating that the most feas-

was by way Of Camden, and that

assistance from Benton County TO
build the road this way.

FARMING 4 BUSINESS

We want to say a word to the
young men of the county who IN
tend to locate a farm to themselves.
The selection of farm for fut-
ure home is q very important mat
ter, and should be settled at once
for all. Moving from one place to
another is a very bad business, for
the farm is to be the future home for
yourself as well as family. Good
land, of course, is desirable, but nc
one knows the value of health un-
til he OF his family gets sick, hence
the first important object in the
selection should be a nice, healthy
place, in a good community, con.
venient to schools and churches
The size of the farm should bt
governed by the size of the purse
The mistake is too often made by
young farmers of wanting a large
farm and buying too much land OF
a credit. A mortgage on a farm il
agreat encumbrance. Small farms
well cultivated, are more profitable
than larger one possibly can be
In word, it all depends on your
self. A man who can not be a sue
cessful farmer in Tennessee cal
not be a successful farmer in Kan
sas, Texas, or anywhere else. l
the farm does not yield enough,
practical, experienced farmer vii
ascertain if it can not be made t
yield heavier crops.
Farming is a business, like every
thing else, and to be successful,
must be conducted on strictly bus
mess principles.

The complete official returns Of
the election held in Tennessee the
4th of November gives BUCHANAN
115, 545; BAXTER, 1926; KELLEY,
10,915. The total vote is 202,785.
BUcHANAN's plurality over BAXTER
is 1920; majority over all, 2S,305.
The vote IN the August election
was: LEA, 1924 ; SMITH, 1894
total, 202,269 just SIT less votes
than were cast in the November
election. But BUCHANAN received
1919 less than LEA, while BAXTER
received 6,351 more than SMITH.
Two years ago TAYLOR received
1869; HAWKINS, 1901 JOHN

will be seen that there is a loss this
year Of 99,771, the Democratic loss
being 41,154 and the Republican
loss 62,699, a difference Of 23,545
IN favor Of the Democrats. There

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Lie llOob lSlndlhdDlC plOSIcSo !
anywhere in this country is in our
Southern States.
Towns and cities are springing
up in every favorable locality, and
manufactures and new industries
OF every kind are being built.
The natural advantages of the
South have attracted capital from
every nation on the globe, and the
result is property owners are real
Ming handsome profits on mineral
and choice agricultural lands.
While this progress seems to ex-
list all over the South, our county
seems to- be unfortunate. The cap
Ttalists and prospectors have not
discovered our natural advantages
and wonderful resources. Why is
5his ? This county includes vast
area of excellent farming land, held
and offered at very low figures
astonishingly cheap. This is not
owing to sterility Of soil, for the
larger part Of the land for sale is
of great fertility, and well improv-
ed. 1t can not be on account Of
bad titles, for titles are easily as
certained and secured. And it can
not be On account Of health, forthe
county is universally healthy
with a few exceptional localities on
the Tennessee River,
There are several causes which
seem to have kept Benton County
back. In the first place there is a
lack Of business system among the
majority Of farmers in raising and
marketing the products of the farm.
We should send ten times the mar
ketable products out into the world
than we are doing now. Capital
lists depend on facts and statistics
to induce them to invest, and they
have been lacking In this county.
4 1t would be much more profta-
bic if, instead of a little patch OF
this and that, the farmers should
cultivate fields, and combine tc
raise enough Of one or more crops
Of produce to invite buyers from
| the. cities who will pay the cash.
Benton County is admirably sit.

II is astonishing how many people
there are who neglect punctuslity.
Thousands have failed in life from
this cause alone. 1t is not only q
serious vice in itself, bat it is the
fruitful parent Of numerous other
vice., SO that he VINO becomes the

from which it is almost impossible to
escape. 1t makes the merchant

which is not liable TO the canker of

1t is fact not always remembers
ed that NapoleOn's great victories

to manHuyre over large spaces of
country so as to render the enemy
uncertain where he vas about to
strike q blow, and then suddenly to
concentrate his forces and fall with
irresistible power on some weak
point of the extended lines Of the
foe.
In mercantile affairs, punctuality
is as important as in military. Many
are the instances in which the neglect
to renew an insurance punctually
has led to serious loss. With sound
policy do the banks insist, under the
penalty Of a protest, on the punctual
payment Of notes, for were they to
do otherwise, commercial transac,
tions would fall into inextricable
confusion. Many and many q time
has the failure Of one man to meet
his obligations brought on the ruin
of score of others, just as the top

their lives, who, If they were more
faithful to their word, would secure
