LAND SUIT DEAL
Titles to Reelfoot Lake Lands Established
and Vested In
WEST TENNESSEE LAND co.
incorporated Under the Laws of Tennessee, Pending
Confirmation by Chancery Court

stituted over the possession OF
Reelfoot Lake lands almost as far
back as the time when the lake
was sunk by an earthquake in
1811-12, historical sketches and
stories of which have been pub
lished from time to time in the
newspapers all over this and 9TH
er States.
AS we stated before there are
about So, 900 acres of land, nearly
all Of which has been covered from
time to time with water and over
flow from Reelfoot Lake. In me-
dium water the lake is approx
mately 25 miles in length and in
width varies from one to eight
miles. 1t is full Of islands. cy-
press knees and deadenings. The
channel of Reelfoot Creek courses
through the main body of the lake,
and for as many years 1t has been
noted as a hunting and fishing re-
sort, abounding in all kinds Of
game. 1t is estimated that TO-
100000 pounds of fish are taken
from the lake every year for sale
and shipment, and ducks have been
known there in fiocks covering the
face Of the water for hundreds Of
yards.
Fish and game are still abun-
dant, and we are infeEmed that it
is the purpose of the West Ten
nessee Land Company to build a
modern, luxurious and commo-
dious clubhouse at Shaw's park,
plans of which are now being
formulated, and later on to make
it a summer resort, with shoot the
roller coasters, tunnel rail
ways, merry-go-rounds, music and
other like attractions. The sub
ject Of gravel or suburban roads
has also been mentioned, but it re-
mains to be seen what the future
will bring forth. 1t may be said,
however, that some great improve
ments will be made, and that there
Is no question that the property |
surrounding Reelfoot Lake will
be greatly developed at no distant
day.

READ AND REFLECT.

My fellow countrymen, it has
been said, and it is strictly true,
that "Man's inhumanity to man
makes countless thousands mourn. "
The golden rule still lives ''Do
to everyone as You would that they
should do to you" Thou shalt
not kill,n and it is also said by the
Master of all that it is far better
that ninety nine guilty ones escape
than that one innocent one should
perish.
am making this appeal to the
public in behalf of Lee Holder,
said Holder having been sentenced
to die by the courts. The verdict
was sustained entirely on circum-
stantial evidence. / do desire that
those who read this will reflect
and take it home to themselves.
He is a youth. We have all been
youths and are aware that youth
does things that mature manhood
would not think Of doing. You
may say it's clear that he is guilty
Of the crime. So thought thejury
that hanged the innocent young
man in California for the supposed
killing of the two young women
in a church steeple. Time and
confession proved him innocent.
The victims were slain by their
preacher, so the papers say. Give
a criminal life sentence in prison
in case of circumstantial evidence,
but for the sake Of humanity and
your own conscience don't kill,
for you can't tell what may at an
early date develop.
1t is not the wish or desire OF
any of the signers Of these petit
tions that the said Holder should
be released. But place him where
be can't harm humanity, and there
let him remain the balance Of his
natural life. It's really a greater
punishment than death, but gives
time and opportunity for him to
for an after life.
Friends, just think for a mo.
ment what his mother has under
gone and is undergoing. Hus-
band murdered, one son in States
prison and another condemned to
the gallows. Take the matter
nome to yourself and think, Think
Now to persons who have petit
ions in different parts of the coun-
", be up and doing, and know
when you are working in behalf
# humanity that you are in the
ervice of the Master. He said
hat charity is the greatest gift be-
towed on man and outweighs them

PASSING OF SUMMER.
PESSIMIST.

PESSIMIST. Alas the winds are blowing chill. The brown leaves rustic on the lawn: The meadow lark has ceased to trill And gloom has come and joy has gone. The towns a dismal place and sad. The streets are filled with clouds of
 dust:
 The pipes win soon begin to bust.
 OPTIMIST. There is a crispness in the air That makes men glad to be alive, That fills them with the wish to dare And gives them eagerness to strive; The maiden shows the roses hue Upon those dimpled' cheeks of hers: We loved her dressed in white 'tis
 true,
 But. ain't she dainty in her furs?
 PESSIMIST. The days are short. the nights are
 long.
 The parks appeal to us no more: We may not wake to hear the song
  You say that on the maidens cheeks Is shown the color of the rose, But she has trouble when she speaks Because she can't breath through her
 nose.
 OPTIMIST. The fires upon the hearth are bright: We hear the schoolboy's gleefui scream; As laboring with all his might He scores a touchdown for his team The robbins gone. so is the wren. But why regret such things as these? Our oVeIcoats conceal it when Our trousers bag around the knees.
 PESSIMIST. We may not sprawl on sandy shores Or through green woodlands gladly
 stray: Down through the street the blizzard
 roars,
 Assailing all things in its way. The shortcake seasons gone. We seem Sometimes to lack the right to live; Our blue-nosed wives appeal for steam
 The 1anitors refuse to give.
 OPTIMIST. An, they are sinful who complain Because the summers joys are fled. Because the flowers that gemmed the lane
 When June's mild breezes blew, are dead. Our noses may be clogged. know: Our tonsils may be raw and red: Ain't these nights great for sleeping. though. With lots of covers on the bed?
