I ennessee State News
Federal Aid Demanded.

In an address before the West
Tennessee Farmers Institute at
Jackson last week Col. J. B. Kille-
brew said that while the United
States had become first in agricul-
ture, manufacture, railroads, educa-
ton, export and in nearly everything
else, it was last in good roads, al
though they were something that
everybody was interested in except
the inmates of lunatic asylums and
penitentiaries. He said his object
was not to tell how to build good
roads, but how to get money to build
them. He advocated national aid to
the States, counties and districts,
and brought to bear many statistics
showing the loss to. farmers in the
cost of transporting their products
to market over the poor roads at
present existing. While vast strides
had been made in everything else,
the average country road was no bet
ter than it was 100 years ago, and in
no part of the country are the roads
in winter worse than in West Ten
nessee. He attributed this to lack Of
concept on the part of the people.
Hundreds of millions of money have
been appropriated to the improve
ment of rivers and harbors which
could be more usefully expended in
the matter of good roads.
SO deep was the impression made
upon the delegates by the able ad-
dress of Col. Killebrew, that the fol-
lowing resolutions, offered by L. l..
Someryille, were unanimously
adopted:
''Whereas, The farmers of the
country pay the majority of taxes
to the support of the general gov
ernment, therefore be it
Resolved, /. That something is
due that class as well as to the own
ers of steamboats, and steam vessels,
who enjoy the benefits of the i'm
provements Of the rivers and har-
bors.
'2. That We demand of our sen.
ators and representatives in con-
gress that they support any bill
looking to an appropriation of gov
ernment funds in aid of the common
roads of the country, believing as
we do that these initial sources Of
commerce need legislative aid as well
as that which passes over the great
rivers and through the harbors of
the seaboards and lakes.
''3. That we emphasize the fact
that we do not wish the government
TO build the highways Of the coun-
try, but only to assist those counties
and districts which will undertake
to raise money for this purpose.
Il. That we thoroughly appreciate
the kindly offices of the government
in providing rural free delivery, and
that assistance. in keeping up the
routes for free delivery is, in our
judgment, imperative and necessary.
IS. That the thanks Of the farmers
attending are hereby rendered to
Hon. j. B. Killebrew for his able
speech"

are stamped with the names of the Ia
vorite magazines of the person to whom
it is to be presented, and the lettering
may be embroidered in or painted on,
depending on the talent of the worker.
One of the most important things to be
considered in this case is the choice OF
colors and material. We would sug-
gest leather cloth (not real leather),
denim, linen, or canvas. Tan and
brown, brown and yellow, brown and
green, all would be very soft and rich,
and unobtrusive enough so as not to
grow tiresOme.
In homes where different magazines
are regular monthly visitors such a
present will be greatly appreciated.
When designing a case of this kind for
a particular person it is we'll to keep in
mind some particular spot in some par
ticular room where it will fit and make
fits colorings such as will be harmoni-
Gus with it's surroundings. 1t will be
all the more appreciated if this is
done.

The soldiers Last March.

Why is it that the most solemn serv-
ice ever devised by man, the stately
hush Of the vast cathedral, the impos-
ing robes, the stained glass windows,
the pealing organ, all fade into 1nsig-
nifcance beside that soul stirring, sim
pie act-the trumpeting out of taps"
over the body of dead soldier? No
man who has ever heard it, either on
the field Of battle, at the quiet army
post or in the haven of these weak and
shattered units Of the Grand Army of
the Republic, ever forgets it. For the
bugle notes seem to take into their own
all embracing cadence the tears, the
memories, the shattered hopes and the
long farewell. - John r. Rathom in
