riage, as it was known to but few of
the neighbors The young couple took

auachee Monday where they will make
their future home. They are both lik-
ed by all that know them. Ye writer
wishes them long and happy life.
Times are hard here now and have
been for a long time. A good many OF

ONE OBJECT is TO
DOUBLE FARM VALUES
Besides Affording Week of Whole
some Recreation Tennessee State
Fair Helps the Farmer In
crease His Bank Account.

To double farm values in Tennessee
isn't such a monumental task as it
sounds-it's principally question of the
adoption of more up-to-date methods of
farming and the recognition of the value
of live stock to the land as well as to
the owners bank account.
1t is to the preaching of these princi-
pies and illustrating and demonstrating
their truth that the county and State
fairs of the South are largely devoted.
The Tennessee State Fair, which will be
held at Nashville during the week of
September POPS, is by far the largest
and best equipped Southern exponent of
this idea. Not only has this fair offered
Q premium list calling for over $4,000 in
cash, but in every department the idea
of teaching and demonstrating with the
help of the exhibits has been put to
practical use. In the poultry depart
ment, for instance, there will be free
stereopticon lecture given several times
each day by government experts; then
out In front of the entrance on a raised
platform the judges will, at certain hours
each day, score the birds publicly, ex.
planning with each step WHY this bird
