For years the Memphis Commercial
Appeal has been carrying a paragraph on
its editorial page credited to the Harde-
man Free Press. These paragraphs are
very funny on account Of their ludicrous
errors in orthography and phraseology,
and they have been copied by papers in
every state in the Union The Hardeman
Free Press is the name of q weekly
paper published at Bolivar. Tenn, but
the funny things It is credited with say
ing never appear in its columns. They
are merely the inventions of a cleveg
writer on the Commercial-Appeal This
publicity gave the Hardeman County pa
per an increased circulation and brought
its editor. Jack Reaves, into such prom
inenee that he was put up for the lower
house in the Tennessee legislature and
