AGRICULTURAL COURSE
AT TENN. STATE FAIR
Management Has Provided
for Daily Free Lectures.

The present widespread and grow
ing sentiment in favor of providing
the farmer with the best training
and education for his work of feed
ing and clothing his less fortunate
fellowmen is one of che most hope
ful indications of permanent pros
perity for the future.
The time when the farmer was left
to shift for himself has passed. The
world is beginning to realize to some
degree Of recognition of it's obliga-
tons to see that the farmer gets the
best out of life.
The antiquated ideas that found
expression in the familiar public
opinion against book learning" for
the man who raises the crops have,
fortunately, been dislodged from the
public mind since the comparatively
recent discoveries of the application
of the sciences of agriculture.
The state agricultural college, the
experiment station and the county
and state fairs are some of the per-
manent institutions that have result
ed from this enlightenment Of public
sentiment.
1t is this recognition of the COM
monwealth's obligation to the farm
er that is the paramount idea of the
Tennessee State Fair.
The association, with this in view,
has arranged with lecturers of
known ability to conduct free insti-
tutes in all the departments during
the week of the fair. These men
will make daily practical demon
STATIONS of the best methods Of pre-
pairing the soils, selecting breeding
stock, raising poultry, etc. In fact,
it is the purpose of the management
to make the value Of a week spent
TT the fair equal to short agricul-
tural course and at the same time
furnish the visiting farmers and
town dwellers with high class enter.
tainment that will make the show
worth while, even without consider
ing the opportunity of learning bet
ter and more businesslike farming
methods. There is no doubt that a
week spent at Nashville during the
fair will be of real educational value
far beyond the expense of the trip,

The Privilege Of Age,

that we shall one day be able to give

me CLAD HAND was GIVEN TO Norfolks
Farmer Friends Tuesday Noon at a
Big open.and-Above-B Board Dinner in
The City Hall.
Pretty nearly all Norfolk got togeth.
er Tuesday noon to give the glad hand
to the towns farmer friends who were
Norfolk's guests on the occasion of
the February exchange day. Sleet,
rain and snow reduced the volume of
exchange stuff brought to the exchange
day yards but it didn't keep a repre-.
sentative crowd of farmers from com.
ing to Norfolk to accept the city's invi-
tation to dinner.
Dinner was served in the city hall.
Banker lawyer, merchant, doctor,
everybody along the avenue forgot
other dinner and lunch appointments
and went over to the city hall to join
in the big jolly dinner which was
served with glad hand to all corners.
There was plenty of good fellowship
in the air and men from the country
side, from Norfolk avenue and from
off the avenue rubbed shoulders at the
big free dinner.
Several hundred people were served
and served by seven popular young
ladies of Norfolk.
The dinner features were open and
above board. Nothing was concealed.
The multitude looked on and saw Burt
Mapes make the coffee, felt prepared
for the worst and then felt real cheer
full when it wasn't SO bad after all.
DR.. G. S. Parker and J. S. Mathew
son carved roast beef with grace and
ease. Frank Lehman, J. d. Sturgeon,
Ernest Raasch, A. l.. Killian, L. A.
Rothe, c. E. Hartford and Herman
Winter were inside the enclosure, act
ing as impromptu aids to Mapes, Par
ker and Mathewson.
Misses Ethel Doughty, Margaret
Austin, Ruby Macy, Edna Loucks,
Kathryn Shaw, Lucy Carberry and
Edith Evans assisted in serving.
During the progress of the dinner a
band concert was given by the Norfolk
band. The appearance of the band in
the sleet was accepted as another evil
dence of healthy Norfolk spirit and
as the Norfolk band is always ready
for an impromptu concert the band or
ganization came in for fair share of
the compliments of the afternoon.
Directors of the Commercial club
almost without exception enjoyed a
city hall dinner.

the home side of that grave conflict.
1t was story of intense human in

plete sympathy with the stage-folk
in the play when stern faced men kept
dry eyes with difficulty, and then there
were other moments when the whole
house was convulsed in spontaneous
laughter over the comedy features,
which were strong.
Sam Spedden, leading man in the
stock company, is handsome fellow
big and broad shouldered, with
smooth, rudy cheeks, big black eyes
and handsome set of teeth that come
forth when he smiles his good natured
smile. He made a hit with the audi
ence right off the reel and held the
closest interest throughout.
Miss Claire Paige, leading lady, is
a mighty clever woman and she
played difficult role in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
Miss Fannie Hatfield, as Bridget"
was as bright and clever as a new
dollar-and she never let up for a
moment with her spontaneous wit and
wholesome humor. Besides being a
clever player, she is a feature as a
vaudeville artist between acts, MAX

The specialties introduced between
acts are bright and brought deserved

WOMAN AS MAN.
Attempted Suicide Reveals Very
Strange Story Of Dual Identity.

New York, Feb. 4.-Stranger even
than the dual identity of Murray Hall,
the man-woman politician, is the case
of Robert G. d'Amron and Mrs. Gussie
Blickman d'Amron Sears, a young wo-
man whose life came near being end
ed by laudanum which she took at
her home, and who was arraigned yes
terday charged with attempted suicide
and discharged.
Mrs. Sears declared her first hus-
band was Robert G. dAmron of st.
Louis, with whom she eloped twelve
years ago when she was Augusta
Blickham, the 17-year-old daughter of
prominent st. Louis family. Five
years ago she said, they were divorced
and Robert G. d'Amron today told the
story of his marriage and divorce.
But neither Mrs. Sears nor Mr.
d'Amron revealed the astounding cir
cumsances of their meeting at Cape
Girardeau, Mo-, when the present-day
Robert G. d'Amron was Miss Jean
Cameron of that place. Nor did they
reveal the fact that cameron was al
ways Miss" and never Mister"
until the couple came to this city.
Miss Sears, when young girl, went
alone on an excursion down the Miss
issippi. The boat stopped at Cape
Girardeau, where Miss Jean Cameron
came aboard. The steamer was crowd
ed and the captain put Miss Cameron
in Miss Blickham's stateroom. Arriv-
ing at st. Louis, Miss Blickham insist
ed that the young woman from Cape
Girardeau accompany her home. Pas
sionate fondness grew up between the
girls.
