Association for 1906 was called off.
1t was great disappointment, but
unavoidable. At the same time the
directors made arrangements to
meet every obligation incurred by
the Association. Every item of
expense will be treated in the same
manner that would have been the
case with successful and profit
able meeting, and preparations
will be made for another meeting
next year. The men who are con-
Quoting the affairs of the Associ-
alton are not easily discouraged,
and hence they will put forward
the same energy, upon different
lines perhaps, for the 1907 meeting.

The schools Of Arkansas.

The following very compliment
airy remarks concerning Hon. John
H. Hinemon and the part he took
in securing amendments for the
benefit of the school children of
Arkansas we take pleasure in re-
producing. Mr.. Hinemon is the
present Superintendent of Public
instruction in Arkansas. He has
held that Office for several years,
not alone by his ability and fitness,
but by virtue of his efforts in be-
half of the schools and his achieve
ments in that direction. Mr.. Hine-
mon deserves all the praise they
give him.
1t appears that Amendment No.
5 was adopted by safe majority, and
now in behalf Of the children of
Arkansas we want to publicly thank
Hon. John III. Hinemon for the excel
lent services he rendered towards its
adoption. Its adoption is due entire
ly to his efforts, and though he may
not live to see the day, the people of
Arkansas will yet rise as with one ac-
cord and call him blessed, and his
name will go down in history as one
of the greatest benefactors of the State
His whole heart and soul was in this
work and he spent many months in GO
ing about the. State preaching the
doctrine of education. Not a county
that he did not go into in his educa-
tional campaign, and many thousands
of our people heard the speech and
were enlightened by his clear and con-
else presentation of our school condi-
tions. He spent time and thought
and money = money out of his own
pocket, that the children of Arkansas
should have better school advantages,
and we say let US give him full credit
for the adoption of the amendment.
We are proud that Arkansas has with
in her bounds such a man with so I'M
selfish and sacrificing a spirit, and we
are proud that Arkadelphia the "Ath-
ems of Arkansas" numbers as one of
her citizens man of Mr.. Hinemon's |
stamp. Standard.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night d day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily; when un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms pain In the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, drop.

FOR FLOATER,
T. G. GORDON.

The recent heavy transforms
have demonstrated the fact that
our city electric plant is badly
Handicapped by the obstruction Of
shade trees through which it is
necessary for the wires to pass.
The trees are growing while the
wires are stationary, and it is very
often the case that the wires are
drawn out of their sockets, crossed
and sometimes thrown upon the
streets. This occurs oftener in
stormy weather when the wind is
blowing or when the trees are
heavy with moisture. Hence it is
that more trouble has been expert
enced during the past ten days.
The superintendent, Mr.. Wade,
has been obliged to be out all
night once or twice recently and
many times portions of the night
looking after the wires. This sub
ject was brought before the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen last Tues
day. The only remedy, of course,
it to trim the branches of the trees
SO that the wires may not be affect.
ed by obstruction. This has met
with strong objection in several
instances. But we must have light
and yet we do not want to part
with our shade. At the same time
no one wants to set death traps for
our citizens by dropping live
wires. We believe the suggestions
made by the Board are sufficient
to obyiate the trouble. The cleo
trician, Mr.. Moss, has instructions
to trim the trees for the free access
of wires. He is also instructed to
do the work so as not to mar the
the beauty of the trees nor destroy
their usefulness. This can be &C
complished very easily. Mr.. Moss
understands the work thoroughly, |
and no citizen ought to object.
The recent death of a citizen by a
live wire on the ground shows the
necessity for this work. The Board
has the authority of law to carry
on this work, but had rather not
incur the i'll will of the citizen.
This is why we undertake to set
the matter before the people in
the proper light. We want light
and we want shade, but we must
allow proper adjustment of same
SO that we can have both without
the risk of life and property.

The West Tennessee Fair AS

meeting entirely last week. Exten-

for the greatest event in the his
tory of Onion County fairs. Every

But the rain began falling Tues
day and continued almost inces-

the fair Friday, Saturday and Mon
day. In the meantime the rains
continued, exceeding all expecta-
tons, and it was apparent that the
elements had made it altogether
impossible for a meeting at the
fair grounds. The directors held

Attention, Forests Cavalry!

On Oct. II, 1906, it is planned to
reproduce in the city of Memphis,
as nearly as possible, that fearless
band which helped to make the
name and tame of Gen Nathan
Bedford Forrest immortal.
There will be no frills or furbe-
lows. There will be no band wag.
ons in the parade. There will be
no sponsors and maids of honor.
She parade will consist of the
mounted survivors of Forests Cav
airy, formed in line of march as
they were formed so often in the
stirring days of yore, going for
ward to do their duty. 1t will be
SIMPLY band of Confederate Cav
alrymen upon the march. Of all
the Division and Brigade Command
ers that served with Forrest there
are but tour now living, Generals
f. c. Armstrong, II. B. Lyon and
Coils. Edmund r. Fucker and d. c.
Kelley, all of whom will be in the
parade at the head of their old
commands. 1t may be the last,time
the old Veterans will thus assemble.
Let every man who, during the
war, served under Forrest come to
Memphis and take part in the pa
rade. Horses will be provided.
All the railroads will place on
sale Oct. Is, 10 and IL, good until
Oct. 81, round-trip tickets at one
fare plus rs cents.
AS there was no man to lag be-
hind when the great commander
gave the word Forward" let there
be none now decline to come.
There is but one woman to whom
the troop will give place upon this
occasion, Miss Emma Samson, the
girl who plloted Gen. Forrest DUR
ing his pursuit of Streight. A led
horse, suitably caparisoned nd
saddled with woman's saddle, will
be placed near the head of the col
umn in her honor.
The widows. wives and daugh-
tiers of all old Forrest Veterans are
cordially invited to come, to whom
special honor and respect will be
shown.

The resolutions passed by the
Baptist Association last week in
the lower end of the county re-
ferring to Patterson's candidacy
were very likely given but very
little consideration, or they were
hurried through before giving
proper notice. These resolutions
objected to Patterson. Proceed.
ings of this kind are very rare in
church meetings in this country,
especially where the Democratic
ticket is condemned, hence we are
slow to believe that they had the
unanimous Endorsement of the
Baptist Association.

The disappointment to the stock
holders of the West Tennessee
Fair Association, in the absence
of the fair, is very small mat
ter compared to the havoc which
the rains have made of the corn
crops in this country. One gentle
man in our Office the other day,
and he is a very extensive corn
grower, said that half the crop had
been destroyed. Obion County
had the largest visible crop of
corn before the heavy rains ever
remembered by the oldest inhabi-
tant. But according to authority
it has been cut down by half, and
the outlook presages greater dam
age. 1t is indeed unfortunate, but
how much better we have Jared
than the people along the gulf
coast, whose houses and provisions
and everything have been swept
by the great tidal wave into the
sea. Hundreds of lives and mil
lions of dollars in property have
been destroyed. The elements have
pressed us sorely, but the force of
a heavy hand has been laid upon
the jewellers by the gulf coast.
