"When l was on the bench" relates
Judge j. j. DuBose, 1--WE were once
making up a special jury for a murder
trial. The lawyers were examining the
venire, and l wasn't paying much atten-
ton to what was going on, till one of
the lawyers attracted my attention by
saying:
"'Your honor, this man is incom-
petent for jury service. He's for
eigner.'
Il looked at the man under examina-
ton and didn't think he looked like &
foreigner. He looked, anyway, like he
was acclimated. So | asked him:
Have you ever been naturalized"
No, sir, he answered.
And you say you're a foreigner and
not naturaiized. What country are you
native of?'
Arkansas
"Well, everybody in the courtroom
laughed. I told the man he could go.
He wasn't much of foreigner, but too
much to sit on jury in my court

To the voice of the gurgling brook,

And broad and shining floors
A. house with the hidden charms of home,
And the freedom of out-of-doors

And on the doorstep and window sill

And fair, old-fashioned liacs toss
Their purple plumage high,
While honeysuckles drop their sweets
On every passer-by.

Is a group of evergreen trees
Pine and hemlock. and spruce and fir,
With their spicy fragrances;
And sweetest picture of calm content
That mortal ever saw,

Is beehive made of straw.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


As a elimination of the damage t.
crops by the continuous rainy and
warm weather of the past month, The
heaviest rains of the season fell during
the latter days of the week, especially
on the 2Sth, which resulted in immense
damage and loss by washing away
crops and flooding lowlands. These
disastrous condition were pretty general
over the State, but the loss is much
more severely felt in the Central Basin
and the Western division; in the latter
portion the most serious conditions con-
front the farmer. Thousands of acres
of corn, cotton and other products are
lost on account of the cause above
named, and the impossibility of cultiva'
ton in time to redeem them. Upland
crops are in more hopeful condition
but are sadly in need of attention.
Wheat is grealy injured by sprouting
during the wet weather, Serious loss
is also noted in many sections by the
washing away of the shocked grain by
the sudden rise in the water courses.
Oats are much damage by rain and wind
and flooding. Tobacco has suffered
along with other growing crops, and
while in good condition of growth, ex-
cept where it is drowned out aud
frenching, it is much in need of cultiva-
ton. Garden products and potatoes
are growing well. Fruit is doing well
except apples, which have fallen off
greatly; peaches, is some sections, are
rotting to considerable extent. Black
berries promise fine yield.

Farmers, Institutes.

Col. ]. w. Rosamon, assistant COM
missioner of agriculture, says the work
of the farmers institutes for the coming
year will be along the same as last
year, except there will be a more
thorough organization. 1t is designed
to establish one central institute at
Nashville, to meet some time in the
fall, formed of delegates from county
institutes all over the State. This will
perfect the organization of farmers in
Tennessee. The representation is to
correspond with legislative representa-
ton, and the central institute is to be
the mouthpiece of the agricultural in
terests of the State and will appeal to
the legislature for such legislation as
that body may deem for the interest of
the farmers. Commissioner Paine will
advocate new dog law for the protec-
ton of sheep.

The Best Prescription Is Groves
TastelesS Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called sTaste-
less chill tones are limitations. An analysis
of other chill toncs shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
