the court had no legal right what
ever to make an appropriation for
this purpose, still there was nothing
to keep anyone present from making
whatever private donation in this
direction they felt like making, at

putting dollar upon the chairman's

tell it, the sum of 1918 was laid on
the table by magistrates and private
citizens and the old soldier was sent
on his way rejoicing. History fails
to record any stronger ties of broth

Out We win Go.

Mr.. Jones's bill to reorganize the
Eighth Congressional District by
taking Hardeman County out of the
Tenth District and putting it in the
Eighth, and take Hardin out Of the
Eighth and putting it in the Sew
enth District, came up on recom-
mendation for passage.
Mr.. Jones said the bill was not
entirely a gerrymandering measure,
though that would be part Of the
effect of it. hepeople of Hardeman
County are rural population and
their interests lie more with the
people of the Eighth District than
with the district that contains Mem
phis. The matter Of population
comes into it also. This bill equali-
yes the population of the districts
in question and will improve the
makeup of the districts in every
way.
As to the gerrymandering feature,
he said it was nothing to what the
republicans had done in Ohio, where
counties had been tackled together
for political reasons until the dis
tricts looked like streaks of chain
Mr.. Baker moved to recommIt
the bill.
Mr. Waddell, of Marion, republic
can, moved to amend by instruct
ing the Elections Committee to re-
district the whole State.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Baker, republican, speaking
to the bill said he was not taking
half as much interest in the measure
as some people might think. He
said that the Tenth District, on a
fair square election, was republican
anyhow, and by taking Hardeman
out and with a combination between
republicans and populites was doub-
ly sure republican. By this bill,
the republicans would have good
fighting chance in the Seventh Dis
trict, and the republicans would not
fear a contest in the Eighth District.
He wouldn't vote for the bill, but
the democrats could go right along
and pass it without any serious OBJ
lection from him.
The roll was called and the bill
passed by party vote.
It's now in order for some of the
sore heads to wire congratulations
TO Representative Jones.

Memphis Presbytery.

The spring meeting of the Mem
phis Presbytery, held in Bolivar, adj
journed on Thursday night of last
week to meet on the 22nd of this
month in the Idlewild Church, Mem
phis. This Presbytery embraces
four counties in West Tennessee
and two in Arkansas. Presbytery
consists of all the members living
within its bounds and one ruling ell
der from each church. 1t meets
twice year, in the spring and fall.
There are at present eight young
men under the care of this Presby-
terry who are studying for the min
istry. The meeting just closed was
pleasant, harmonious and profitable,
and much business of great interest
to the churches was transacted. Re-
ports from the different churches
were very satisfactory and encoura-
ging. A foreign mission service
was held on Wednesday night of
Presbytery, the sermon was preach
ed by Rev. n. M. Woods. The
amount collected that night for for
eign missions was about $500. A
home mission service was held on
Thursday night. The report of the
committee on home missions was
very gratifying to the members of
Presbytery. The amount collected
for this cause during last year was
$90O.O 90 and $4,000 for educating
candidates for the ministry. Rev.
w. NJ. Brown, of the Baptist
Church, and Rev. T. P. Ramsey,
of the Methodist Church, were invi-
ted to sit with Presbytery as visi-
ting members. Since the fall meet
ing, one new church was organized
and another will be soon.
The invitation extended by DIR.
]. p. Douglas to visit the Western
Hospital for the insane was accep-
ted by Presbytery, and nearly all of
the members visited that iustitu-
ton on Thursday evening. All of
the ministers present were photo
graphed in group by III. G. Gala
han.
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.
The Presbytery of Memphis is
glad to record its appreciation fthe
kind hospitality of the good people
of Bolivar, not only of the Presbyte-
rian but of other churches.
We are profoundly grateful for
the complete arrangements made for
our comfort by the pastor and
the friends of the Presbyterian
church, and we pray that the rich
blessing of God may rest upon this
entire community.

Few men have gained such
prominence in the mercantile world
in so short time as Mr.. J. A. Bar
rett, Bolivar's popular dry goods
dealer. He is continually adding
to his stock new and attravtive
lines, and for the present spring sea-
son he has surpassed all former eff
forts in this direction. In fact, it
is difficult to tell which of the two
is most attractive-his goods or his
prices. The former are handsome
and beautiful, the latter by far low
er than ever heretofore quoted.
The secret of Mr.. Barrett's success
is diligent attention to business, a
liberal use of printers ink and a
thorough knowledge of the wants Of
his customers. 1t is always pleas
ure to the BULLETIN to recognize
merit and to give praise wherever it
belongs. Mr.. Barrett certainly de-
serves to be congratulated upon his
success in business, and the large
patronage he receives is an evident
fact that his efforts are appreciated.
While it is true that the price
of cotton for several months past
has been exceedingly low, yet there
are reasons for believing that in
this country there is gradual i'm
provement in the condition of the
people. With the curtailment in
the number of mortgages, there has
been an increase in the cash trade.
Recently we were informed by J. Z.
Atkins, a merchant of Vildo, that
his cash trade then was equal to
that in December last. Although
more than a fourth of the present
year has passed, still hardly a week
passes but cotton is marketed. We
believe that a majority of the far
mers have a sufficient amount of
corn and meat to do them, and if
they would only raise wheat instead
of buying flour, thousands of dollars
that now go out of the county for
-four would add to the prosperity of
the people. However, the condi-
ton of the farmers of this county
will compare most favorably with
some who have virgin soil.
"A striking incident that binds
the tie of Confederate soldiers, as
well as the humanity of man, was
exhibited before our court on Mon
day. A man by the name of How
arton, a former resident of this
county and Confederate veteran,
who for some few years past, has
been an inmate of the soldiers
home at Nashville, came before the
court and asked for an appropriation
to secure his transportation back to
Nashville, saying that he had come
to this county for the purpose of
collecting some money that was due
him, but had failed to collect a
cent and that this left him without
any means whatever to get back
home. Esq. S. R. Shelton rose in

made most favorable impression
upon all who had the pleasure of
cultivating her acquaintance.
My stock of Shoes is the most
complete in Bolivar, and my prices
are the lowest. J. 7. PATRICK.
W. p. Nuckolls, an enterpri-
sing farmer of this county, called to
see us last Monday, and informed
us that he did not intend to raise
any cotton the present year. He
has become convinced that there is
more money to be derived from the
cultivation of corn, peas and pota-
toes than in the raising of cotton,
hence will devote his time to rails
ing such crops. If the low price of
cotton is instrumental in causing the
farmers to diversity their crops, it
may yet prove blessing in disguise.
The visitors from Bolivar to
the Shiloh battle field have returned.
On account of rain, the overland
trip was rather unpleasant. The
crowd in attendance was estimated
at 10, 600. 1t is said that the sur
roundings have all changed since
the war, and only few of the COM
manders were able to locate the po-
sitions of their troops. The old
church has been torn down and a
new one rebuilt, on exactly the
same spot. Many of the visitors
brought home with them mementoes,
such as battered bullets, pieces of
shells, pebbles, walking canes, etc.
One of the most enjoyable oc-
casions that has transpired recently
in the 3rd district was the closing

Miss Fannie Stuart, given under her
supervision by the pupils of that
