SOUTH SIDE.

Everybody we'll and feeling good
since the much needed rain Sunday
night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Litchford
and little son, ]. t., from near
Troy, spent few days in Southside
last week.
Miss Walter Wilson, one of South
sides fair bellies, is a visitor at the
Worlds Fair this week.
Miss Nora Jackson returned home
Sunday afternoon from two weeks
visit to relatives near Glass.
Rev. A. S. Hall passed through
Southside early Monday morning
en- route to Bethel, where he and
Rev. Adams will conduct meeting
this week.
Cyclone suspected last week that
Gypsy and U-Know had departed
for parts unknown, and if there had
not been some little m1sunderstand-
ing we might have been gone to no
telling where.
Bro. ]. H. Mcdowell was a well
come visitor at our home one day
last week and gave Gypsy a special
invitation to attend the big fish fry
at Samburg on the 25th. l think l
shall get my little camping outfit in
readiness and be there for that
grand occasion.
Mrs. ]. w. Temple and charming
daughter, Miss Matte, will leave in
few days for Henderson, where
they will visit several days.
Messrs. Ellis and Everett Jack
son left Monday night for st. Louis
to see the sights.

FROM P. q. o.

The meeting at Protemus has
come and gone. Revs. Holder,
Harden and Hemp McLesky did
some excellent work. Rev. Nc
Lesky did the preaching instead of
w. M. Robson as was expected.
The meeting resulted in six con-
versions and four additions to the
church. Miss Lizzie Cashon, of
Hornbeak, played the organ. This
makes three years she has played
for us, besides, she is fine help
otherwise. This was time of
great rejoicing.
Prof. w. H. Dickey, of New Mex
leo, with his family spent a month
with his home friends and rendered
valuable help to our meeting.

spent two weeks visiting her grand
father, Mr.. Bob Garrison. Miss

If Mr.. McDowells schemes sue
coed, if his interests are benefited
it is all right for the executive com.
mittee to subvert or misuse its
authority, but when he failed to Sc.
cure standing vote in the thir-
teenty civil district convention the
people were wronged, so Mr.. Nc
DCwell thinks. In other words any
political chicanery in MCDOWELL
favor is to be excused, but if against
hun he goes among the people in
the guise of martyr and seeks to
array friends against friends and
section against section for his own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. If he and his
friends are guilty of irregularity it
must be excused because Mcdowell
is a candidate. We do not believe
the Democrats of Obion county are
going to indorse such extravagant
AdlluSlSS anu lOuhdlCSS asset llOhS'
We do not think that Democrats
can be inveigled into the error of
leaving the party nominee, Mr..
Fry, on these baseless theories to
vote for an independent candidate
for the Legislature. We cannot
accept the idea that McDowell's
politics are more honorable than
those of other Democratic poll
ticians in Obion county. The facts
do not justify this plan OF reason
ing and the proofs do not verify it.
On the other hand we believe that
Joe Fry, the Democratic nominee,
will be elected to the Legislature
by decided majority and that the
Democracy of Obion will stand true
to its traditions and loyal to it's in
stitutions.

PORT ARTHUR.

That the situation at Port Arthur
is desperate cannot be doubted, and
the capture of the fort by the Japa-
nese seems near at hand. Gen.
Stoessel, the Russian commander,
has officially reported the taking of
Takushan, or Taku Hill, by the
Japanese on Augu st 10, and it is
also reported by refugees who have
arrived at Che Foo, that the Japan
csc have occupied Sushiyen and the
Liauti hills. TaFushan is hill
845 feet high, 1t is about three
miles from the city limits of Port
Arthur and about one and one-half
miles from the inner line of Russian
forts. The highest position be-
tween Takushan aud Port Arthur
is $50 feet high. Takushan is north
east of the city, Sushiyen is a
lower hill three miles north of the
city and the Liauti hills are FIVE or
six miles southwest of the inner
harbor. With three points of want
age IN their possession the Japanese
can throw projectiles from three
sides into Port Arthur, and proba-
bly, enfilade the Russian works in a

ChON AN v 1bL6.
After a somewhat protracted alb
sence we again play the roll of (
prodigal returning, but of course
no fatted calf will be slaughtered
for feast to celebrate the return
of this prodigal. No, one perhaps
save our dear, venerable old Cousin
john Barleycon, cares whether we
ever return or remain as retlcent as
an underground tomb. But Bar.
leycorn, dear old soul, is so brimful
of sympathy that portion of il
will unbidden, likewise, unrestrain-
ed, flow towards every one deserv-
ing sympathy no matter how small
his calibre may be. Since our last
call on the happy corps of Commer-
cial Cousins, which is composed of
young men and ladies whose bright
and sparkling eyes bespeak their
wit and intelligence and the happy
smile tells in plain and unmistak-
able language of their happiness
and lightheartedness, while that
calm, dlgnified air that is ever worn
by those of the Barleycornage shows
knowledge and profound wisdom,
we have been on a visit to kins-
people and old time friends in the
eternal hills of good old Kentucky.
In driving along one of the main
thoroughfares we came to field of
beautiful corn; it was a narrow
ravine and remembering the spot
very we'll we remarked that the last
time we passed that way the whole
valley was overgrown by dense
hazel thicket and, when Aunt Bill
dad queried how long since, we be-
gan to count and found it to be
exactly twenty years. Now, it did
not appear to us to have been more
than three or four years, and of
course one-ifth of century is not
so much or many, but when we be-
gin to count over the changes and
alterations that have transpired
in that comparatively short space
of time we become astonished, We
were met, approached and had our
hand shook by people whom we had
to ask their name before we could
place them and then we would re-
member them as so manv little
barefooted boys and girls running
around enjoying the sweetest pc
Rod of their lives. Scenes would
then rush upon our mind that were
pleasure to recall. We met one
young man whose face we had for
gotten but he knew us, and after
telling US his name he said the last
time he saw us was at certain de-
batting society at one Of the best
schools in the country thereabout,
and then we remembered how we
had doctored our history and read
in it things the author never knew
to gain our point, but twas all for
fun and recreation and no one felt
the worse for little crooked state
ment, so the judges did not get on
to your racket" Our old friends
were found to be fathers and moth
ers, tillers of the soil and rockers
of the cradle. Old gray-haired
fathers and mothers are still cling
ing on to dear life with the tenacity
OF youth, while in the cemetery we
read the epitath of those whose
brief years did not number score.
It's true that changes come about
almost with the rapidity of drama.
We wish, at this late date, to
the Bachelor on his
epistle on citizenship, and give a
smile to all the other cousins from
Pa Barleycorn clear down the line
to the "babiest" one.

In the grain markets the price may
go a little higher, but it is very
likely that it will drop back around
the nineties, perhaps nearer ninety
than a hundred.

R. F. Tisdale, of Union City,
was here Thursday.
The weather is quite warm and
it is common with us to complain,
but according to the prophecy OF
the divine history, which is the
governing power of the universe,
all of us that keep not the same
will think this world, where we are
free tc choose for ourselves and are
the recipients of all his goodness
pertaining to this life, is an iced re-
frlgerator compared with the des-
tiny of those who are law breakers
where it is said we will call for a
cup OF cold water to cool our parch-
ed tongue.
We heard lady say not long
since that she was going to see
that her daughter did not learn to
to cook, wash dishes, make up beds,
churn and do general chores, and
then when she got married she
would not have 1t to do because she
would not know how. If the world
was full of people like this woman
we would be in peck OF a fix. The
very idea of woman pretending to
be sane making such a statement
or attempting to raise her children
in such a manner. If this class of
people who look on work as being
a disgrace had not been born we
would have been better off. There
is nothing we reverence more
than plain pure woman, one that
conforms to the happiness of others
as we'll as herself, and has in her
mind something more sensible and
grander than keeping her children
from work and trying to push them
out on the carpet and into society.
No matter what our station may be
or the amount of money we may
possess, there is nothing more COM
to us than teaching our
childred to work. Work of differ
ent kinds is essential to the devel-
opment of a boy or girl, and even
when they become men and women
it is still necessary to keep the
muscles developed and cause the
blood to strut our veins and give us
health and strength. There is
more lovely and attractive
than a pure modest woman, but of
all unpleasant things on the face of
the earth is one of the female
creatures who thinks it is dis
grace to work, hires all the work |
done and puts in her entire time
keeping up with fashionable clubs
and trying to keep up with the
styles, while her husband works by
The day or month for a living. |
Show me pure, simple, modest
woman and will show you a wo-
man full OF ambition to do what is
necessary for the happiness of her
family, her neighbors and for hui
There is a premium await
ng each and every one who con-
,orm themselves to the simplicity
If this life.
