not wrapped up altogether in the
banking business. as stated before,
that is more of side line with me
than anything else, yet l have made
banking study and have come to
the conclusion that we have in this
State practically no banking laws
which afford protection to those
who see fit to patronize our State
banking institutions. / shall favor
the passage of law providing for
the appointment of State bank in
spectors, whose duty it shall be to
visit the different State banks three
or four times year, or oftener if
occasion demands, and to make a
thorough and exhaustive examina-
ton OF such banking institutions.
Furthermore, l am of the opinion
that more legislation i s needed
looking to the security of the funds
of depositors in the State banks,
and if | am a member of the next
Legislature | shall favor the pas
sage of such legislation as will pro-
vide for the security of such depos-
itors so as to tender improbable a
loss to them.
1t is impossible within the limits
of a communication like this to
mention all the public questions
that are likely to come before the
next Legislature, and in view of
such impossibility l win state if

shall do as l have heretofore done

my every vote in the interest of the
people of Obion County and do what
| can to subserve their interest,
and to have enacted into law such
measures as will promote and sus-
tain the credit of the great State of
Tennessee, and yet keeping steadily
in view the one purpose that should
actuate and control every Represen-
tative of the people, the tightening
the burdens of taxation. If the
Democracy of Obion County shall
honor me with the nomination of
the Office of Representative it shall
be, and will be, my aim and purpose
to honestly, conscientiously and |
discharge the duties of
that Office.
If any Democrat of the county
should desire to know my position
upon any other public question than
those stated herein it will be
pleasure to me to answer such
Democrat in an open, frank, candid,
plain way, so that my position upon
any such question may not be left
in doubt, but will be well known to

other interested in any such ques-
tion.

and wigwams, sitting side by side in the glow

Severa lof the houses were quite pretentious
two-story affairs, painted white, with green
blinds like the better class of dwellings at Still
Bend and trim old farm houses all through
the "Pine Tree State" but one glimpse, at
their interior would reveal to you that they
were lived in after the Indian fashion.
Chairs and bedsteads were only used for or
nament; carpets to sit and sleep upon; cur
tans and table covers only to collect dust
year after year. 1t was evident that, even IN
the midst Of civilized surroundings, 10! the

The wigwams, open to all the winds OIL heav-
en- and hung with soft furs, seemed much more
suitable habitations for the islanders, besides
being more picturesque.
The boys found Joe, tall, stalwart young
Indian-by the riverside, busily engaged In re-
pairing the bottom Of his canoe.
"Going down the river in the morning, Joe%
they inquired, eagerly.
"Maybe," said Joe, with the reticence char

you will
Joe looked up at this, but made no reply.
He seemed SO deeply absorbed in his work as
to be unable to give the subject any atten-
tion whatever.
Come, Joe, why don't you say yes or no?
We're in hurry; we've got to find some other
feller with a canoe if you won't take us.

his word.
Morning came warm and fair with just the
arrest bit OF fog over the blue sky, like lace
vel over pretty face, and the breeze was al
ready looping it away.
Inc boys rose at four o'clock, and meeting
at the turn of the street which led to the

a long nap.
1t was narrowing to think of sleeping away
the hours of Fourth of July, but under the
circumstances, it seemed the wisest and best
thing they could do. To keep awake would
be to bitterly regret the horribles and all the
other gories which they had missed, and TO
sleep was to rid themselves of the inpatience
which would gnaw their souls while waiting
for the glories which might be in store for
them in the afternoon.

that it must be nearly night, when, in reality.

age could boast, were rung with
sleepy moderation three times during the day,
and early in the morning there was a mild
firing of guns on the river bank at the back OF
the town hall.
The few boys who were forced by unhappy
fate to remain at home on these festive oeca-
sions, eased their pent-up patriotism In some
measure by firing crackers and blowing fish
horns on the village green during the day, and
setting off pinwheels and other fireworks of
the same cheap and uninspiring sort in the
shades of the evening.
In years past, Still Bend had sometimes in
dulged in Fourth of July picnic, and there
had been orations, brass band and lemonade
in a shady grove, and the brilliant and stirring
joyfulness Of flags and cannons.
But now the town had decided that such
celebrations were a wicked waste of money,
and many of the older townspeople forgot
the Fourt hof July was holiday at all, and
went about their bushes as on other days.
The village stores were open, and so was
the blacksmith shop; but goodly portion of
the young people went down river to celebrate,
where there were professions, hornbles, boom
ing cannon, no end of delightful side-shows-
not particularly pertaining to the day, but
with fascination of their own-and a per-
feet blaze of fireworks at night to wind up the
festivities.
"Going down the river tomorrowe" said Will
Clement to Tom Turner as they met on the
green after school.
Eyes, if | can. Are you?"
"Yes, mean to go if have to swim all
the way to the city. Come, Tom, let's go to-
gether."
'I'm afraid father won't let me- Jerry Morse
got two of his fingers blown off by a pistol
down there last year. Jim Lane got hurt, too.
and it makes mother awfully nervous to have
me 60 away anywhere on the Fourth of July"
Don't ask anyone whether you can go or
not; that's the way I'm going to do, and then
you can't be disobeying anyone. We can come
back early at night, and the folks at home
will think that we are playing on the green
all day. and nobody need to worry at all"

I would be Fourth of July to-mor-
row, but as all the boys agreed,
Fourth of July at Still Bend was
nothing but a farce. The two
church bells, which were all the vii
lage could boast, were rung with
