THEY SAY.

Gossip has been rife for several
days with rumors of various kinds
concerning the branch court ques,
tion-that citizens of Obion we're
not at all satisfied with the result
of the election held on the 25th
ult. and that the meeting of a COM
mittee of Obion citizens was de-
sired to be held with committee
from this place. In fact a note
was addressed to acitizen of Union
City asking for such a meeting.
A reply was promptly made that
the committee which acted in be-
half of those opposing the branch
court was dissolved by the action
of the voters at the election and
that no other committee was vest
ed with authority to discuss the
reconsideration OF questl n
which had been disposed of at the
ballot box. 1t was actually ru-
mored that a sentiment had been
expressed proposing to take no
notice of the election and proceed
with the consent of the committee
from this place to pass a branch
court bill in the Legislature,
otherwise movement would be
instituted to move the county seat
to Rives. We don't know the
facts concerning all these rumors,
but they seem very much out of
place. While we have no desire
to twit Obion citizens in their de-
feat, the voice of the people is
supreme on all public questions

THE GREAT SHOW

The newspapers report in fam
ing headlines the pomp and splen-
dor of the Presidential Inaugural
ton, how Teddy hourished in his
triumphaI march from the White
House to the Capitol, took the
oath Of office with the solemnity
of kings and potentates and re.
turned to the "hall of fame" erect
ed for the occasion at the White
House to receive the homage of
the populace, all this in the midst
of the national guard, the West
Point and Annapolis Cadets, en-
bassies, members of the Supreme
Court, Senators, Congressman,
governors, hundred uniformed
bands, ETC., escorting him, while
on each side of Pennsylvania ave.
nue. a mile in length stretched a
sea of faces looking aghast at the
magnifcence of the scene. What
is the significance of all this lavish
display and what are the advan-
tages to be derived from it. Seems
to us that it is all out of place in
this country and a useless extrava-
gance. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are expended to crafty a
morbid taste, a vainglorious APP
petite for pageantry and display.
Suites and rooms facing the street
are rented for hundreds and thou
sands of dollars for nothing more
practically than sight of the
President and the sound of the
music. This could be had most
any day for the price of street
car ticket if the visitor is too tired
to walk. Of course this has moth
ing to do with the public treasury,
but the business of one of the de-
partments is absolutely paralyzed
for a month to give way for the
inaugural ball and the display of
Miss Alice's fine costume. This
cost the Government several hun
dred thousands of dollars besides
the cost of the Inauguration prop
er. What's the use of all this regal
show in republican country.
Why President making a lime
light demonstration of his vanity.

A CORRECTION.

An article over the signature of
Krak Kon appeared in your issue
of last week, which, in order that
Justice may be done all parties
should be answered: The article
mentioned was in regard to the
smallpox situation at this place.
1t stated among other things that
instructions had been given to the
merchants here to furnish these me-
groes anything they desired; that
there was a county pest house and
nothing had been done toward NOV
ing these patients to it. Both of
these statements are absolutely
without foundation.
AS to the first statement the facts
are that the county physician gave
positive instructions to the mer-
chants to furnish these patients
nothing but what was absolutely
necessary. For instance he limited
one family of twelve to So. so per
week, and that for no longer time
than was absolutely necessary they
be kept under quarantine. Now
any one would know that that
amount is little enough and would
not be sufficient to crafty the un-
limited wants of any negro even
with much smaller family. Krak
Kon's reliable information certainly
was not from one of the merchants
here. As DR.. Blanton, the county
physician, often stated publicly to
the people here that nothing but
things absolutely necessary for the
patients would be furnished by the
county, it is evident that Krak Kon
has not been a visitor here during
the rage of smallpox, or else he
would have been almost sure to
have heard these statements by DR..
Blanton.
As TO the second statement it is
true that none of these smallpox
patients have been moved to the |
pest house. But the reason is be-
cause it was not practical to do so.
DR.. Blanton took up that question
at the start with a number of the
citizens, including one of the local
physicians, and it was the unani
nous decision that it would be
mistake to attempt to move these
patients. When the smallpox was
first discovered there were two pa.
TENTS that were too sick Gas proof |
of which they afterwards died) to
move, as it would have been almost
certain death. 1t would have been
useless to have moved some of these
patients without moving all of
them as we'll as those who had been
exposed, This would have been an
extra expense to the county without
doing either the patients or the
people of this community the least
particle of good. Another question
to be considered is the pest house
has only SIX rooms, with beds, bed |
clothing, etc, to accommodate not
more than half the number quaran-
tined here. The number of those
sick and who had been exposed
that would have had to have been
carried from here was thirty-nine.
Anyone should know that such ac-

decided by ballot and this should
be an end of the matter for the
present. We understand also that
the sentiment prevails in the lower
districts that no separation from
Obion County is wanted. The
taxes are now higher in Dyer
County and the people there need
a new courthouse which would in
crease the tax rate. So, like
Troy, they should submit grace
fully, but if that is impossible,
then as gracefully as they can.

If these patients had been moved
and had afterwards died, as some
of them did, the county would have
been liable for damages. Even if
it had been practical so far as the
disease was concerned, it is doubt
full if these patients could have
been moved, for the weather was 50
bad aud the roads in such condition
on account of ice that it would have
been very difficult and very eXpen-
sive to have gotten anyone to have
moved them.
That DR.. Blanton was right IN
not moving these patients TO the
pest house is shown by the state
ments of Dr. Albright, Sec. State
Board of Health, who came here to
examine these cases at the solicita-
ton of DR.. Blanton. He states
that even now with good weather
and only cases of mild form it would
not be practical to move them to
the pest house but it would be IN
human. He also states that the
disease has been handled here with
skill and Judgment and he knew of
no suggestion to make for the bet
ter handling of it.
The object of this article is to
correct any false impressions that
NAV have been made by Krak Kon S
statements. His statements are a
reflection on DR.. Blanton, but we
people of Woodland and immediate
vicinity do not agree with him in
the least particular. We believe
that DR.. Blanton has done every
thing that could have been done,
both for the benefit of the patients
and tor the protection of the people
here and their interests. We be-
lieve that he has done more than
his part, practically without any
assistance from the people here.
We believe he has handled the dis
ease dexterously and that not one
single thing in his power has been
lett undone for the prevention of
the spread of the disease and for
the protection of the business in
terests OF the town. He has not
risked his judgment alone, but by
his solicitation Drs. Rippy and AL
bright have been here. Each Of
these gentlemen have had much ex-
perience in the handling OF small
pox.
Believing these things as we do,
we wish to thank most heartily DR..
Blanton for the good work he has
done; also to thank DR.. Rippy for
the assistance he has given. We
do not fail to appreciate the help
DR.. Rippy has given, even going SO
far as to help bury the dead. 1t is
our desire to acknowledge this APP
probation in this manner.
We assure both of these physi-
clans that the sentiments of the
people here are not at all in sympa-
thy with the statements OF Krak
Kon and we have nothing but the
highest praise for the dextrous
handling of the disease and the
heartiest thanks for the unselfsh
interest they have shown for the
people here.

HAD A PICNIC.
Farmers Clubs United In Having q
Good Time.


The Southwest Vernon Farmers Clut
and Oak Grove Farmers Club held q
very successful picnic together in Car
uthers grove July 6. 1t was beauti'
full day and the forenoon was spent in
visiting with our many friends. We
were also pleased to gain the acquaint-
ance Of many new friends.
AT about 10 o'clock the scene und Ell
the beautiful trees was one long to be
remembered, as it found us all seated
around in different circles and partak'
ing of an elegant dinner. At o'clock
the scene was somewhat different, as
we were in another circle waiting for
the program, which was in charge of
the young people.
We commenced by singing America
followed by devotional exercises by the
chaplain. After the secretary's report
we again united in singing. Roll call
found all present but two families, who
were greatly missed. Fred West was
called upon for recitation, but was
excused. A song by three little girls
Zada Wright. Preston Prior and little
Cleland Salisbury each gave recitation,
also Pauline Prior, Ruth Straugh and
Pearl Kent. Mrs. Onyon gave a read
ing, after which a fine Indian drill was
given by several school children.
A chance was here given for remarks
and Mr.. Fitch gave good talk.
Question, "Should we favor law
that would enable the electors of the
several townships, villages cities and
election districts in this state to express
their will as to the manufacture sale,
keeping for sale, ETC., of intoxicating
liquor within the samef" S. B. Terry
gave very instructive talk which was
highly enjoyed.
Mr.. Wilcox was called upon. He
said he did not expect to be called upon
for talk and thought he was like the
young couple who were out walking
when the young man said to his lady
friend, 81 want to ask you question, F"
and she said, 80 Lord! o Lord! So
sudden" But if it was quite sudden
Mr.. Wilcox gave fine talk on the tenn
perance question.
After this motion was made and
supported that vote of thanks be ten
dered to the young people for the pro-
gram rendered, and we, as young peo-
pie, thanked them very much. This
ending our program and another day s
enjoyment, we departed for our many
