var cover a distance Of more
than twelve miles, hence it
requires considerable time
and attention to keep them
in proper condition. This
duty has devo1ved upon Mr..
T. A. Parran who has served
as chairman of the street
committee for more than
twenty years, at an insignif-
icant salary, and considering
the means at his disposal and
the large amount of work to
be done, he has kept the
walks in splendid condition.
He deserves and will receive
the thanks of every fair
mind ed citizen of the com.
munity. His unanimous re-
election by the Board Monday
night, shows that his service:
have been appreciated. Nc
better selection could have
been made.

THE death of j Judge James
Fentress removes one of the
most prominent citizens ever
reared in Bolivar. He was
one of the ablest lawyers in
the South and his ability was
recognized by the many I'M
portant and responsible po-
sitions to which he was call
ed, all of which he filled with
credit. His was a strong
character. He was broad
minded, fair, just, unyield-
ing in his convictions. He
was not only learned in the
law, but brilliant in intellect,
refined and cultured. Hav.
ing spent a number of years
in travel in this and foreign
countries, be was interesting
and entertaining, and was the
center of attraction in every
assemblage. He was a christ
ian gentleman, liberal in his
contributions to church anC
to charity. He held a warm
place in his heart for The
people of Hardeman County
who will learn with sincer'
sorrow of his death.

Grand Junction the Home of Field
Trials for Years.

GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn, Jan. "a.
Grand Junction Is the Mecca that
all field trial handlers and owners
hope to reach. They plan in adj
vance to run their dogs here and
win honor and cash at the annual
field trials held here by the United
States Field Trial Club A win here
is held in higher esteem because it
is the winding up of the years field
trial work. In the early trials dogs
are short of work and the cover is
heavy and many reasons are advanc-
ed why their dogs fail to get in the
early money. The ''last day." as
the women will inform you, is the
most satisfactory. They will meet
their former victors for the last time
here, as derby candidates and hand
lers have had all the season to finish
up their dogs.
Then Grand Junction was the first
place to hold field trials. You will
see man that has followed for years
feel when he gets here like man
when he enters his own home. Grand
Junction he regards as the home OF
field trials, a magic circle, handler

Richelieu defy the world.

Antiau,tr Or the noemerang.

The boomerang, the Australian ma
tive's weapon of offense and defense.
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery of Australia, was doubtless
known before the time of Christ. Pliny
the elder, contemporary Of our Sa-
viour, writes as follows in his Natural
History" respecting an instrument
made of the wood of the aquifolia:
''If staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength in the person throwing falls
short of the mark. it will come back
toward the thrower of its own accord,
SO remarkable are the properties of
that tree"
1t Is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape of the ''staff'' and referred It's pc
culiarities to the nature of the wood of
which it was made,

A MOTHER or COURAGE.
The old Lady's First Football Game
and Her hoy.

She sat in the grand stand waiting
for her first football game to begin.
Her boy had played it ever since she
could remember. and now he had made
his varsity tea.n, which was her var
sity. too-her Cornell
Two of his fraternity brothers" sat
on either side as a bodystIard to her
gray hairs and as a bureau of informa-
ton. They were happier than they
would have been with the prettiest girl
they kew.
She smiled with motherly pride
when she picked him out of the squad
of red sweatered "huskies'' which at
length trotted out on the field. She
wiped away tear when a Columbia
man fell across the line for touch
down
Then she surprised her bodygNsrd
by muttering under her breath: Hold
em bard, fellowsr' Twist their
necksr' PUSH Pushr'
She explained her knowledge of
these strenuous technical details by
saying that her boy cried out like that
when playing dream games In his
sleep.
She did not faint when he tackled
too hard and failed to rise, although
his white face. with a streak of red
blood across the forehead, was staring
up at her.

with confidence, Hes just doing that
to get wind" So it proved.
He was up and at it harder than
ever within the time limit. The Itha-
cans gained five through tackle and
lost as many more yards trying to
round the end Then something hap
pened.
A sturdy youngster shot out of the
tangled elevens and dashed down the
field toward the goal of the blue ana
white. He crossed line after line OF
whitewash and finally was over the
last one, the whole pack at his heels.
