Arbor Day.

NASHVILLE, October 4, 1901-To
COUNTY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AND
PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS:
The Public School Law (see Sec
ton SOY makes it the duty of the
County Superintendent of Public
Instruction to see that one dav in
the month of November each year
be observed by the schools Of his
county as "Arbor Day" In order
to secure uniformity and increase
interest in its observance, | have
recommended Friday, November Is,
1901, to be "Arbor Day" for the
public schools of the State of Ten
nessee. l suggest this date and
hope to have the hearty co-opera-
ton Of superintendent, teachers
and pupils in it's practical observ-
ance. We have almost 100000
children in the State OF public
school age. If each child can be
induced to plant a tree about the
school house in his district, we will
have almost a forest of trees on
our school grounds. The planting
of trees will render the school houses
and grounds more beautiful, at
tractive and healthful, and will add
greatly to the comfort and pleasure
of students. The teacher in each
community should make this hol-
iday occasion and arrange in adj
vance an appropriate programme of
music, Rotations and addresses.
Have programme which will be in
teresting, not only to the students,
but to the patrons and citizens al
so. Urge the observance of this
day and its importance and variety
Of trees in our school yards. In
this manner you can, by diligence,
render valuable service to the chill
dren of Tennessee present and
future.

ONE LOVE.
twrltten BY request.

written by requestl
If thou couldst only know the half Of all fee
dear heart,
Each day that comes, try to do my part
Tempted. I'm strong, thy will be done,
And at night, when the stars are bright
humbly pray Gods way, not mine.
Yet / crave one more day
OF tender love in the same old way
One more morn Of regal splendor,
Once more free from petty care
Only one If l might dare
To rise from dark despair,
To break the bonds and be free
At last dear heart to cry:
II come--speak to me"
Speak to me face to face,
Heart TO heart, sweet embrace,
With courage anew I'd gladly live
Fond, loyal, faithful and true,
If the light leads to you.
/ will gain the heights that love alone can
scale
In spite of all. l Will gather fame
For thy dear name
And proudly lay it at thy feet
Tho clouds be dark will not fall.
Tho fate mocks with her smile
And points with hand--''too late"
will be free, for thy dear sake.
You viii understand the chord strike, and
wait.
Your smile will be for me, dear heart,
You'll love myself apart
When with outstretched hands, ! come to
thee, my refuge,
Tho fire pa we'd the way,
would not stop or stay.
To thee I'd come with white heart
That hath no jewel save thee
And trust, tho Off touch with tired hand the
Ike y.
You will understand the air tried to sing
sometime--somewh fame hath placed
Tie hate Of them benesth my feet.

PROFESSIONAL THIEVES.
Get $500 from Boyd & Hornbeak
at Hornbeak.

News from Obion was sent by the
Union City correspondent to the
press this week as follows: The
firms of Grissom & Steele, Fields
& Wigdor and c. H. Carroll were
enterered Sunday morning and the
cash drawers tapped, but little was
secured, but from Hornbeak& BOYD
the burglars secured quite good
sum. The safe of this firm was
blown open and $500 taken, the
work showing it to have been that
of an expert. A wet blanket was
thrown over the safe to deaden the
sound OF the explosion, which was
heard by several, who described the
NOISE as of plank or committing
falling down.
After robbery the thief or thieves
destroyed the telephone instrument
in the store in order to prevent the
summoning of blood hounds. An
old looking gray horse was stolen
in the neighborhood, and it is sup
posed that the robber got away on
him, and that he was headed for
southeast Missouri.
A gentleman who was in Horn
beak Monday says that the store
was closed about IL o'clock Satur-
day night and that as the clerks or
proprietors were on their way home
they noticed three or four men
standing behind an old phaeton in
a shed, but that supposing they
were some of the town boys out on
lark of some kind, made some
casual remark to them and went
on; but one of the men behind the
phaeton ran and jumped on a gray
horse hitched near by and logged
along some distance in front OF the
citizens, who went home and retired.
1t is thought that the man on the
horse watched the clerks until salts
fed that they had retired and then
went back and cracked the safe.
Among the articles stolen from
the safe we're two shinplasters, one
of Is cents and one of so cents,
some notes and checks. Five hun
dred dollars was in paper, gold and
silver. Hornbeak & Boyd offer a
reward of 500 and half that is
found on the robber when caught.

ALLAN SELLS PISTOL.
Uses It to Drive Away Trouble
some Negro Boy.

With a 22-calibre pistol in his tiny
hand, 10-year-old Allan Sells, the owner
and originator Of the boys circus,
chased away a colored hoy who had
tormented him this morning, and
might have done some shooting had not
the strong hand of an old colored wo-
man who works at the Sells residence
gripped young Allan's collar, while the
other strong hand of the same individ-
ual dragged the weapon out OF the
young avengers pocket
What caused the trouble between
Allan Sells and the black boy could not
be ascertained for the black boy
Cured, and Allan, when asked about
the row. only replied:
He's a. fool"
The colored boy was several sizes
larger than the erstWhile circus mag
nate, which explained the rather un-
dignified position in which Allan was
found at the beginning of hosulities-
Allan was sitting on the stone steps
under the Auditorium archway, sobbing
bitterly, and cycling the colored boy,
who circled about the steps at a re-
spectful distance making menacing
swings with his box of shoe backing
implements.
whats the matter, Allan? Is that
fellow after your" asked a friend who
happened to be passing.
Allan only sobbed.
What did he do to you2" was asked
o. fool" replied the weeping
Snowman.
Just then an idea occurred to Allan
Sells. He jumped down from the steps,
and with his voice choking with sObS
exclaimed;
I'm going over home and get my
twenty-five, and then I'd like to see
that --- do anything to me.
He went across the street on a run,
and disappeared in the house. The col
ored boy seemed to take it as a joke
thinking no doubt that this was the
way young Sells had taken to escape
from his clutches
But 10, in about 80 seconds, the door
opened again, and Allan Sells reappear-
ed, holding something bright in his
hand
The colored boy, who stood in front
of the Auditorium across the street,
commenced to have the eye-pops. His
jaw forgot to stay in place. and his
Shining box hung obviously from his
limp hands
Allan walked straight toward the col
ored boy. Then he got down the high
terrace, and stood in the street, ane
ostentatiously raised his revolver, and
cooked it. With flourish, he slipped
the weapon into his pants pocket, and
started to advance on the enemy.
The colored boy did not tarry any
longer. He split the wind as he shot
around the corner of the Auditorium.
Just then Allan was attacked from
the rear. The big, husky negro maid
servant had evidently seen young Al
Ian make his armed exit from the
house. and had followed. Just as Allan
was about to follow up his man hunt,
he was forcibly grabbed and his trousers
pocket picked. Disarned and humilia-
ted the youthful knight followed the
big negro woman into the house, plead
ing for the restoration OF the arsenal.
And the colored boy returned and held
the fort.

of the disease.
The investigation revealed the fact

having escaped any of the Kansas in

Also a. report was received from

CRED" LAIRD CASE.
It Is Again Continued at Request of
County Attorney.

The RED Laird case was called IN
the city court this morning, but was
continued to next Wednesday, at the
request of County Attorney Nichols,
who has business in the district court.
Attorney Joseph Reed, for the de-
tense, objected to the continuance, on
the grounds that his client was in bad
health and Jail life did not agree with
him He then asked that Laird's bond
of $1,000 be reduced at least $500, 50
that his friends and family might
stand a chance to procure bond.
Judge McCabe said that the offense
with which Laird was charged war
ranted the size of the bond and that
he didn't think that it advisable to
make the reduction.
Laird's parents, sister and wife were
in attendance.

NEW POLL BOOK.
Sample Ones Are Now Ready For In
spection.

spectlon.
The state printing establishment has
turned out the first copies Of the new
sample poll books, issued in conformity
with the new election law passed by
the last legislature. A synopsis Of the
laws bearing on elections will be issued
to accompany the sample poll book, and
both Will be sent to city and county Of
ficials throughout the entire state.
The sample poll book is printed on
cheap paper, and is considerably smaller
than regulation size. Neither is the
book ruled as provided in the law. A
note in the book says: This sample
book is printed in miniature as mat
ter OF convenience. The regular poll
book and tally sheets should be of the
usual size, II BY IL inches. and the
pages ruled from left to right"
The poll book differs in several re-
spects from the old style. Place is Civ
en- on the tally sheets for recording
straight ballots separately. 1t is be-
lieved that this system will simplify
the work of counting the vote. How
ever. there appears to be enough red
tape and intricate calculation for the
clerks and judges to attend to. There
is not much danger of their getting the
returns correctly entered in the
book.
