We were proud to see the State
Fair bill published in full in last

support Of said bill.
During the law court contest it
was currently reported throughout

from the south. / had a mouthful
of this same kind of tobacco and |
spit in the same direction the wind

That mouthful of saliva that / had
spit out was carried by the wind up
into theasorth edge OF Scott county.
A bald headed homesteader up
there just happened to stick his
head out of his dugout as that
mouthtul of saliva came along, and
it hit him square on the bald spot.

Then let our capitalists, and if not

When this is done it will not only
settle this question, but instead of
any part of Obion County wanting
to go to Dyer County, the 10th dis
trict Of Dyer County, which lies
north OF the Obion river, will of her
own accord come to us, thereby
adding thousands of acres of the
