Obion County has a habit Of
getting exempt from good things.
The new school law which pro
vides that the number of school
districts shall be changed, or re-
duced to five in each county, does
not include Obion. Obion has
something less than a million
school districts, consequently it is
hard matter to regulate the
schools SO as to get maximum
length of term and adequate eff
cheney of instruction.

A GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.

The officers of the jackson Chau
tauqua Association have issued ar
announcement of the second an.
nual meeting to be held at Jack.
son, Tenn, July oil, inclusive.
The Chautauqua Park is probably
one OF the most beautiful places OF
the kind in the South. 1t is said
to be replica of the original
Chautauqua Park in New York
State. The buildings have all been
improved since last year, includ-
ing new additional departments
and band stand, and every one of
them have been fitted with comfort
and luxury. Ten thousand vari-
colored electric lights adorn the
park in the evenings and the scene
is altogether enchanting and other
wise~attractive.
The bill of talent includes such
names as Bishop Thomas f. Cal
lor, Booth Lowery, John Temple
Graves, Ralph Bingham, and
number of soloists and readers of
national reputation but not the
least interesting will be the CON
certs by the Burgess Concert Band.
This band has been employed
for the entire summer season, with
concerts every day, which have
been in progress for several weeks.
The leader, Mr.. Eugene Wack, is
cornet soloist of national reputa-
ton. He does not enjoy the dis
tinction of a Levy, Liberatti, or
even of Walter Rogers, but there
is not greater wizard of the cor
net on the American continent. |
This is saying great deal, but not
without having heard all the lead
ing artists for twenty years. We
venture no man will challenge his
ability in a series of contests I'M
der all conditions. Then there is
Mr.. Ross, the trombone artist,
formerly with the Kilties, musi-
cal feature in himself. The band
is little stronger than it was last
year, though in many particulars
the same, the best of the size
which will probably be heard in
any city park or summer enter
tainment of the year.
The city of jackson, the most
enterprising of all Tennessee cities
with even double or quadruple its
resources, climbs few notches
higher this season in its undertake !
ings, and the Chautauqua Associa-
tion is the capstone of its efforts.
The institution deserves the most
liberal attendance.

The Path the Calf Made.
BY SAM WALTER Foss.

One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good calves
should;
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have
fled,
And, infer, the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-weather sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too
As good bell-weathers always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade
Through those old woods a path was
made;
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words ofrighteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path.
But still they followed do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf.
And through this winding woodway
stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent, and turned, and turned
again;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many poor horse with his
load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And Travelled some three miles in one,
IND thus, century and half,
They trod in the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became village street;
And this before they were aware
A city's crowded thoroughfare
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about
And Ger his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead
They followed still his crooked way
And lost one hundred years a day;
For such reverence is lent
To well established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were ordained and called to preach !;
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf paths Of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They followed In the beaten track;
And 10, and out, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods
laughed
Who saw the FIRST primeyal calf
All many things this tale might
teach.
But | am not ordained to preach.

CASHM ERE LAND SALES
Real Estate In Wenatehee Valley is
Soaring Skyward

The Cashmere Valley Record OF last
week reported some recent land sales
in the Wenatchee valley adjacent to
that town. We are republishing the
story for the encouragement and COM
fort Of those who own lands in the
neighborhood Of Leayenworth. The
lands surrounding this town, only ten
miles from Cashmere, are not one whit
less productive, and consequently less
valuable, than those surrounding Cash
mere. We confidently look for every
acre of land that is suitable for fruit
growing in this vicinity to sell for from
$500 to $1,000 per acre inside of eigh-
teen months.
The following tells the story OF the
rapid advance in land near Cashmere:
The real estate market is active in
the vale OF Cashmere in spite OF the Sc
we're winter and unusually heavy snow,
and recent sales show that land is
steadily advancing in value. Egbert
Trask has Just sold his bis big ranch in
Nahahum canyon to Seattle parties for
$40, 900. The ranch contained 800
acres, Of which rs are suitable for cul-
tivation. There are few acres plant
ed to young fruit trees. The pur-
chasers are negotiating for several large
ranches in Nahahum canyon.
One-half Of the 90 acre fruit farm Of
]. A. Robertson and S. E. Ivey has
been sold for $4,000. Two years ago
the whole 90 was bought for $4,000,
thus showing an advance in value Of
200 per cent in two years. This
ranch is planted to winter apples, which
were set in the spring Of 1908. Last
year, three years from time Of planting,
they bore 100 boxes of extra large,
handsome, highly colored apples.
The 100 acre ranch Of J. w. Sher-
man, near Cashmere, has just been
sold to Seattle parties for $4,000.
The residence on this ranch is one ol
the finest in the valley. There is lit
tie fruit growing on the ranch, but a
large per cent of the acreage is under
the Mission canal and the tract is con-
sidered good bargain at the price.

We are in receipt Of circular letter
from Mrs. E. F. Leary, Seattle, chair
man Of the special committee Of
Rainier Chapter, which has undertaken
to raise fund for erecting a statue OF
the father Of his country on the
grounds of the Washington University,
to be unveiled during the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition. The plan Of
the committe is to have a collection
taken among the school children on
the 22nd Of February, that being the
recurrence of Washington's birthday.
The contributions to range from one
to five cents. The teachers in all pub
lie schools are requested to aid in this
laudable undertaking by announcing to
the children the object Of raising the
fund and calling to their attention the
date when the collection will be re-
ceived.

George C. CaIentine, OF Wenatehee,
Claims 90 be Son Of melOdy

The following is taken from the We
natchee Republic Of last week:
George c. Calentine, proprietor of

road to wealth. Readers Of the Seattle
papers will remember the accounts Of
the death several months ago in Seattle
Of Melody Choir. an aged an eccentric
character. He had been resident OF
the Sound for many years and had ac-
cumulated a great deal of property, es-
imated at about 100000. Mr.. Cal
entine is said to be the son Of the de
ceased man and is now in Seattle for
the purpose Of establishing his claims
to the estate.
Melody Choir is said to be only an
assumed name OF the dead man. Mrs.
Calentine; former wife of the deceased,
and mother Of George Calentine, separ-
ated from Choir years ago. She is now
living in this city with her son and his
wife. At the time Of the death of Choir
brother came on from the east and
laid claim to the estate as the nearest
of kin. 1t was not generally known
that the man had a wife and family liv-

bought 80 acre tract at Monitor last
fall for $2s00, sold it few days ago to
w. R. Russell for $4,000. His invest
ment netted him 100 per cent profit in
few months. This is the second
lucky deal that Mr.. Wesserling has
made in Cashmere land lately. A few
months ago he bought a ten acre ranch
two miles west OF Cashmere for $2500
and sold it recently for $4,000.
Fred Patton, who recently sold his IS
acre ranch five miles west of Cashmere
for $40, 900, has bought 10 acres of
land at 5000 per an acre from D.
Treadwell, mile from Cashmere. The
land is planted to alfalfa, which Mr..
Patton will break up in the spring and
plant to winter apples.

The experience of the city Of Boston
bears out DIR. Darlington's opinion. An
authority ON consumption in that city
says that the disease costs the munich
pallty 100000 annually. a campaign
of education is suggested to teach the
public how to avoid infection. II would
seem, however, that experts on tuber-
culosis are themselves in the fog as to
the origin of consumption. The open
air cure has been found effective In
many cases. and the notion that In
halation has to do with the spread of
the plague is generally accepted. Re
Gently a London physician, DIR. w. 7.
Turner, declared that the entire med
ical world has been attacking consump-
ton by a false route. His theory. based
upon long experiments. is that the
flesh of animals communicates the dis
ease to man. but the primary seat of
the infection is in the plant eaten by
the animal, as timothy and other
grasses. To eradicate the disease In
herds of cattle found to be infected
would not dispose Of the case. New
Victims would absorb the poison. The
presence of tuberculosis in cattle has
been proved. yet there may be room for
doubt as TO its origin there.
At this stage of scientific knowledge
the public could not be enlightened as
to means of absolute prevention. But
the general rules for the detection OF
the plague in its earliest stages and
methods OF treatment should be wide
