The Obion Presbytery of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
held its fall session at Hurricane
Hill, Dyer county, Tennessee from
Sept. 1919. The attendance was
large. The Rev. w. H. McLesky
was elected moderator and presided
with dignity. The Union question
was the most important matter
that came before the Presbytery.
The vote stood in favor of the
union and SO against. The Pres
byterv ordained r. B. Garrison to
the full work of the ministry. Two
young men were received as candi-
dates for the ministry. This SEES
sion Of the Presbytery will go down
on the pages of history as one of
the most important ever held by
the Obion Presbytery.

The Commercial believes as
strongly in its friends as any news
paper on earth, but the best friend
we have cannot through his pat
ronage control the policy of the
paper if that policy is detrimental
to its principles. In the first place
no friend or patron has ever asked
us to advocate his cause on account
OF the patronage he has given us,
and we do not think anyone has
ever expected it. One thing is GER
tain, we have never entered into
any such agreement. Our columns
are not to be used to barter prin-
ciple for business or personal
favors; and no conscientious per-
son has right to expect it. We
have never sold an editorial in this
paper and have none for sale at
any price.
The present term of Circuit
Court was very busy one, but
there were no very important suits
on hand, excepting the Coleman
Fox and Lee cases. Fox was SEN
fenced to three years hard labor in
the penitentiary. Mrs. Lee was
granted divorce with custody of
child, and alimony was assessed
against ]. f. Lee, defendant. How
ever there were several important
suits instituted for trial at the next
term of court. N. G. Morris,
through his attorney, II. o. Morris,
brings suit for $1,000 damages
against /. c. r. r. for closing road
on his farm near Fulton. The road
passed over the tracks and Mr..
Morris claims it was the only way
of egress and ingress to his farm.
A very heavy damage suit is
brought against the corporation of
Obion. The amount named is
So, 900 and it is claimed as damages
by w. w. Parker and family for
injuries sustained while crossing a
bridge in the corporate limits
which had been rendered insecure |
by washout. The occupants of
the buggy were Mr.. Parker, bis
wife and two little children. The
buggy fell about fourteen feet and
Mrs. Parker was. it is claimed,
seriously injured by the fall and
the children considerably hurt.
The corporation is represented by
T. o. Morris and E. ]. Green.
Another damage suit was filed. but
taken to Supreme Court. This was
brought by Chas. Hollenbeck,

theater goers.

AND MARKET SHOWED UNDER
TONE OF STRENGTH LATELY
LACKING.

Spirits Went on Ia Cent at Close of
Market-Opencd Firm Mt 53IA Cents
But Light Demand Failed to sus-
tain Price and the Close Was Low
err Though Tone Continued Firm.
All Afternoon Receipts Tnken-Re-
ceipts Were 1 ,O75 Casks and Ex-
ports $50 Casks.
The rosin market after sliding to a
lower level of prices day by day for
the last, three or four days took a.
brace yesterday. The market opened
firm and unchanged from the close of
the day before, except that I was
quoted at 1910, the inside price. The
tone was firm and the sales amounted
to 1,188. The close was firm and I'M
changed, but in the late trading a
strong undertone was developed and
the demand was sufficient to absorb
all offerings. Nothing less than quota
tions was paid, and in some cases a
slight advance, ~ cents, was paid for
the two top grades. The receipts were
1850 barrels, and the exports 1853.
The spirits market failed to hold it's
price. 1t opened firm, at 531ac, the
closing of the previous day, and with
sales of 1877 casks, but in the. afternoon
the demand failed to sustain this
figure, and at the close the official
quotation was 534c, with further
sales of 1872. At this price, however,
all offerings we're cleaned up. so that
the market will not be depressed by an
accumulated stock when it opens to-
morrow. The receipts were 1,075 casks,
and the exports, sos casks.

WARE q LELAND
Advise buyers to Take Long End
Rather Than the short.

New York, July 2S.-The market ad-
vanced rather easily SOLO points at
one time this morning, but weather in
the South was too good to attract
enough buying to hold prices. After
selling at $500 early. October ran up
to 9,72c and then broke to 9.62c As
compared with prices last week, there
has been an advance of about 10 points
for the week. 1t was not until the
last few minutes a week ago that Oc-
tober ran up TO 9.60c. after selling at
9.54c most for the morning. To-day
nearly all the trading in October for
an hour and a half was above 9.65c
Under the circumstances il looks like a
very steady market. Reports show fine
weather and the crop doing wonderful
ly well. But don't forget August is the
trying month and August is just begin
ming. On any break next week we
would rather buy than be short of cot
ton. 1t is heavily short now, and there
is very little cotton in stock here. As
long as the position appears as it is
now there is more risk in selling than
in buying cotton.

MILLER & CO.'S
Cotton Letter TO Demere & Ham
mond.

mOnd.
New York July 23.-Within a narrow
range. the market to-day has been al
ternately strong and weak. Surprising
strength was developed after the open
ing on news that the captured steamer
Malacca was found, after all, to have
contraband on board. which fully justi-
fed her seizure by Russia. 1t seems
that war material was taken on board
at Antwerp for Japan in packages
marked sugar. This discovery should
stop the cutlery in the British press
and remove a menace TO the business.
A bearish influence was the report of
the Santa Fe Railroad covering 125
points in Texas, which stated that the
crop was never better; acreage increas-
ed Is per cent; weevils doing little
damage and a large crop is now as
sured. The decline, which was caused by
circulation of this report. was prompt
~ recovered when the heavy rainfalls
of the past twenty-four hours were
posted. Cheraw, S. c., experienced a
cloudburst, with 61a inches of rain.
Texas showed many points with over 2
inches and precipitation was general
throughout the belt, thus adding to the
grassy conditions complained of in the
~ "SShAS iOPCit' puI ". MS q
relief to the dry sections in the At
lantic districts. 1t was noticeable at
the decline that selling pressure was
light and recoVeries easily made, the
local bull clique was quite active in
checking the early decline and rallying
the market at the close. The summer
months showed decided weakness, due
no doubt to liquidation in anticipation
of the August notices next Friday. but
new crop months closed 7d9 points
higher than yesterday

The local cotton market was marked
by another drop in quotations in spots
yesterday, the price going off Is cent.
The market was quiet and only So bales
were Teported sold. Little was doing
in f. 0. b. either and offerings were
reported as light. The receipts of the
day were las bales, and the exports
coastwise, 1O7.
In the futures markets Liverpool ca
bes proved disappointing, but in spite
of this and also of the bearish reports
the list as a whole closed well up, the
only heavy declines from the day be-
fore being those of the near months.
Liverpool closed Is points lower on

The leading houses concerned in the
strength of the early week took adj
vantage of the buying thus created to
support the market.
Later. the diminishing demand from
shorts and some liquidation eased the
market off to about the closing figures
of the previous day. But undertone
was steady Philadelphia and the
South bought the late positions. SEN
timent is bearish around the ring, as
it is felt that more than ordinary
damage will be required to give us
anything smaller than a bumper crop.
