peas, realizing quite neat SUM from
the returns, as they require very little
cuItivation and the better part Of the
crop is shipped in two gatherings.
When the vines ceased bearing they
were plowed under and a crop of
corn Is being grown on the same
spet. He also realized good results
from two and half or three acres
planted in beans. These are only
two of many similar instances. Isn't
such policy much more economical
and easier in every way than TO work
so hard with cotton and realizs moth,
ing for ones years work and at the
same time greatly mpoeerish the
land? Could not some of the hills
and hollows of ''old Hardeman" be
reclaimed and made to blossom and
yield fruit tor our city markets? Who
will take the Initiative? Let us get
out of the ruts.
Bethel, from social standpoint,
is very pleasant place to visit.
There are scores of young people
here, who certainly enjoy life. Some
OF the boys are attending Draughon's
Business College at Nashville, X. d.
McAtee and John Ammons, cousin
OF "Bolivar john being among the
number.
The ife-prolonging and health-re-
storing properties of the many min
eral waters of this town are known
far and near. Parties from Texas
and neighboring towns and cities
are visiting here in order to regain
health aud strength by Imblbing free
ly of its sulphur, chalybeate and other
waters. 1t is truly astonishing how
much one can eat in McNairy, not
only three times day, but between
meals as we'll.
Probably the oldest living inhabi-
tant of Tennessee is III the "El Do
RADIO" Aunt Sallie PoIndexter, a
negress, originally from North Caro-
lima, reputed to have attained the
hale old age of 107 years, being the
honored parsonage. A visit to her
shows her to be ia full possession OF
all her faculties. She is at present
working on quilt, the se wing being
very creditably done for more than
centenarian.
Rev. B. A. Hayes, pastor OF the
Nj. E. church here, at one time sta
toned at Bolivar, breaches here
twice month.
A new two-story brick school
house 40x60 feet has just been com
pleted at ccst OF $4,000. The cit>
liens may be justly proud Ut such
handsome building, tho the sight of
it almost makes Hardeman county
teacher jealous OF McNairy.
A very interesting point to be Wis.,
tied by those who like to have 'war
"reminiscences revived, is the breast
works vest of town, thrown up by
the Federal Generals uainey and
Morrison in command of Illinois
troops. Although they are over
grown with trees and shrubs, yet even
now they present quite formidable
appearance.

Judge Johnson yesterday rendered a
decision In the case of w. P. Coleman VS..
John t. Barry. The testimony showed
That written contract was entered into
oy the two parties whereby the plaintiff,
as real estate agent, engaged to procure
purchaser for real estate of the defend
ant In San Francisco, and was to receive
commissions therefor amounting to 1926
IN the event of making the sale.
d. A. Crouch, who is employed in Mr.
Coleman's office, so managed the affair
that Albert Gallatin exchanged $4,000
worth OF Sacramento property for Barry 8
Sah francisco property, valued at Sl2, 800.
Inc deeds were exchanged and Gallatin
PAID the difference, &, 500 in cash.
barry then refused to pay Coleman his
commission, on tho ground that he the
Iatterl did not sign the agreement, and
also that he did not give his personal at
tentlon to the business, but left it to Mr..
Crouch.
Judge johnson decided that the defend
ant was the party to be charged and to
pay Tor the services rendered. AS he
signed the agreement, the statute was
complied with, and he was charged with
the amount stated.
In regard to the second objection, the
court said that if the contention was cor
rect the influence of real estate broker
is curtalled and he would have to give his
personal attention to all business in
trusted to him and could not avail HIM
self of any assistance.
The court rendered Judgment for the
amount claimed by plaintiff in his favor.

Lieu Lands.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: My attention
has been called to communication in
your issue of May I'd from Edward
Twitchell, who for many years was a
Deputy Surveyor-Generalu under differ
ent administrations of that office.
He was retained by me as clerk in the
office during my termaas State Surveyor
General, which was during Governor
Booths administration, IS71-75. Ny
reminiscent friend entirely ignores State
lieu land matters during the many years
that he was Chief Deputy of that import
ant office of great duties and RESPONSE
bility to the people, and at time when
he virtually shaped the policy and con-
trolled the machinery of that Office on all
matters pertaining to the location and
sale of lieu lands" belonging to the
state.
While the press of the State has always
been open TO his pen, and the rostrum to
his voice, had he been anxious to discuss
proposed legislation and executive in
competency as affecting the lieu land
question, whether for revenue only or
actual settlement, l find, from a careful
perusal of his communication, that on
two occasions only did he ever volunteer
20 enlighten the people of the State on the
fraudulent perversion of the lieu land"
laws carried out by corrupt connivance of
the officials of the party in power.
He says: at was generally known
that 1 I, K. Twitchell) had had long expert
ence in State land matters, and was re-
quested TO go before Senate committee
that had under consideration the bill al
lowing the purchaser to buy from the
State $40 acres of timber or grazing land,
~ 81 25 per acre, no occupation of the
land required"
He failed to enlighten the committee
referred to, as he informs US, by even a
word, but retired from the arena, al
though it was his intention to strongly
oppose the bill.' Somewhere it is said,
"Hell is paved with good intentions.n
On the discussion of this bill, to which
he refers, entered a protest, with rea-

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has rs-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehana County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 12o, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipai is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay nve equal annual installments, with In
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as.
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE.
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that zood
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than nom SEQ to
$500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject OF this advertisement Will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land At $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF thia
BODY OF land was the breaking up OF a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
