No Patterson Parade.

NO FdILGT6Oi Tab6@S'
Senator Carmack was given a beau
tiful parade, one of the largest yet
seen. The Patterson people did not
attempt to make a counter demon
stration. They realized their inferior
numbers and decided it would be bet
fer to allow no unnecessary compar-
ison of strength.
The governor sat in his room at the
Western Hoteel, while the Carmack
procession passed. and the Carmack
cheers that beat against his room like
the flashing of storm waves must nave
had a chilling and depressing effect on
him.
Senator Carmack, on the other hand,
with a broad smile on his face and
feeling as he looked, in as high glee
as a barefoot boy, rode toward the
head of his procession, bowling and
smiling in appreciation of the mag
nifcent reception. He stood in his
seat while his carriage passed around
the square, which was lined with MS
enthusiastic followers.
Monster Carmack Parade.
The parade contained "a vehicles
and two floats, and carried by count
339 people. On one of the floats were
seated 30 ex-Confederate soldiers, who
carried a banner with this inscribed:
Patterson believes in economy; ne
doubled his own salary and vetoed
the Lane-Foster bill" The other float
contained So young ladies of Ripley
and John Hedpeth, of Lauderdale Coun-
ty Enterprise; Tom Spencer of the
Riplev-News. and Emmett Newport OF
the Halls Graphic Enterprise, rode IN
the procession carrying banner
reading: The pin-headed editors are
all for Carmack." Two other banners
that attracted attention were: Car
mack favors paying farmers when
summoned to court.
Oscar Chapman, farmer, who RODE
in the Carmack parade, lost IL days
from his home and family two or three
terms of court back, and did not get
any pay for it, while having to pay
his own expenses for over two weeks
at the hotel in town, when under the
Lane Foster bill he would have re-
ceiyed pay for his time.
A unique vehicle in the parade was
dimutiye wagon drawn by Oily
goat in Patterson's colors, with a Car
mack boy in solid red driving him.
He Plowed With Ned.
At the head of the parade were the
two chief marshals, G. J. Hutchinson
and C. Wood, and ]. C. Howell, farm
or who lives near here, who plowed
with Senator Carmack in Sumner
county Mr. Hutchinson carried a ban
ner which said, Il plowed with Ned"
He said this morning: Il have
known Carmack ever since he was
four years old, and we were both so
poor we could not go to school. His
mother taught me to read, and Ned
rot his first lessons from her too
The Ripley brass band came next
and nearly all its members are for
Carmack.

THE MAIL ORDER EVIL
"Do Unto Others as You Would
Have Them Do Unto
You."

The following side]ight on the
mail order question from an ex-
change contains more truth than
poetry:
A drv goods merchant was starting
down town when his wife reminded
him Of his most IMPORTANT duty dur
ing the dav. "Now nv dear be sure
and not forget to send TO the city for
a new Stanhope so we can have it by
Sunday. You know our old buggy Is
getting SO it is not fit to be seen."
Just few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles vehicles and i'm
plements was sitting at breakfast
with his family. The conversation
drifted around to near approach of
school. ''And thai reminds me
john" said the lady who sat at the
head Of the table II must be going
to the city no later than next week.
I must get goods for the children's
school clothes and then to see about
a fall suit for myself and while I'm
there perhaps I'll see about a new
rug for the parlor and some lace
curtains for the front Windows"
An hour or two later the towns
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy draft. which he was going
to send to the catalogue house for
swell bed room suit. "How's busi-
ness'' asked the banker. ''Oh not
so very good" replied the sugar and
coffee merchant resignedly. "Things
are little dull just now." Before
the banker finished writing the draft
dapDer young man with grip
stepped in and asked how everybody
was. The banker seemed glad to see
him. He was the representative Of
. big printing establishment In
another state. He and the banker
chatted pleasantly for a few minutes
after which the young man INQUIRED
Of his friend behind the window If
he wanted anything. "Well ves,"
reDlleO the Other gOOd naCuredly.
II believe I do. Print US $4,000
checks. 5000 drafts and about a
couple thousand letter heads"
The young man thanked him cor
dialv for the order and left. That
night the local business men had a
meeting IN the town hall to discuss
the growth of the mail order evil.
All Of the gentlemen mentioned in
this narrative delivered short talks.
They all agreed that the farmers
we're guilty of treason as thev persist
in buying their goods of mail order
houses. and the meeting closed by
ADOPTING strong resolutions against
trading away from home.

LEXINGTON MAN A SUICIDE.
Prof. John D. Farr, Recently Elected
Superintendent Of Edncation,
Takes His Own Life.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Lexington, Sept. 15.-This entire
community was shocked this morning
when it became known that Prof.
John D. Farr. of Chaplin, recently
nominated for county superintendent
Of education, had committed suicide
some time during the night by shoot
ing himself in the head with shot
gun. Few were willing to believe
that one who had just few weeks
ago been honored by the people Of
his county would want to take his
own life.
Coroner Clark, who went to Chap
in this morning to hold an inquset,
has just returned. He states that
the only reason assigned for Mr..
Fairs taking his own life was that
he had not been in the best Of health
for the last two weeks. He seemed
to brood over the fact that he would
soon have to move to Lexington to
attend to the duties Of the Office to
which he had just been elected and
that, his daughter being about to
leave for college, his wife would
have to remain alone at her home in
Chaplin. This morning at 4 o'clock he
left the house, went to his barn,
placed single-barrelled shotgun to
his right temple and blew off the
whole top of his head.
The burial will take place tomor-
row morning at II O'Clock.
Prof. Farr was Al years Of age.
He was a man Of strong and charm
ing personality, seemingly Of sound
mind, and had been prominent in the
affairs of the county for a number
of years. He had served two terms
as superintendent Of education and
had been a successful teacher. His
family relations to all appearances
were very happy indeed. His family
consisted of his wife, who was before
