county. If it proves to be a failure
we want the farmers to profit by our
experience at our expense, and let
it alone.
There are no secrets in our society,
we do nothing that we are ashamed
for the world to know, so that peo-
pie who are opposed to farmers
organizations are as cordially invit-
ed to attend our meetings as our own
members. There is neither force MOI
compulsion in our organization. No
one is compelled to do anything he
does not want to do or what is not his
interest to do. We depend on educa-
tion and reason to guide our men,
bers and control their actions, just as
Christian religion depends upon the
teachings Of the Scriptures and the
example of Jesus Christ to make
true and loyal Christians.
We not only ask or demand equity
from others, but We are equally
pledged to give equity to others.

Killed at Fulton.

Walter Laid, formerly of Padu-
cab, was fatally shot at Fulton, at
8 30 Thursday night, by James Eat
on. Eaton fred six shots at Laid,
only one of which took effect, enter
ing the stomach. Ladd died Satur-
day, and was buried Sunday.
The shooting occurred on State
Line street near Mann's butcher
shop. A difficulty arose between
the two men over the payment of
road tax. Ladd is deputy road over
seer. II is claimed that Eaton fail
ed to pay the tax which is assessed
against those who do not work the
public road on which they live. Laid
was sent to collect it Wednesday.
Eaton refused TO pay it and some
words ensued.
Thursday, Eaton is alleged to
have been drinking heavily and to
have armed himself with the purpose
of pursuing his quarrel with Laid.
The two met and some angry talk
was exchanged. Eaton then drew
his pistol and began firing at Laid.
All of the bullets went wild, except
the one which penetrated Ladd's
stomach.
Ladd was removed to the rear of
the butcher shop and physicians we're
summoned. He was perfectly con-
scious but made no statement about
the fight. All he said was al am
going TO die" He suffered greatly
and blood flowed from his mouth.
He is about 80 years of age. His
mother lives in Paducah.
Eaton is quarrelsome when drink
ing. He purchased the cartridges.

hearing in Hickman next Friday.

REV. WYATT b. BROWN
AT MONDAY SERVICE

1.-The old world religion and its re-
lation to US today" was the theme
chosen by Rev Wyatt H. Brown. as
sistant rector Of the st. Johns Church
OF this city. for his address at the
MONDAY I.enten services at the Ma3es-
tic Theatre yesterday. Rev. Mr.. Brown In
his address. which was both powerful
and eloquent. showed that the old
world religion was simply mans eter-
nal yearning for the Divine and he also
pointed out how. the ancient Greeks and
Romans saw power In the world be-
yond themselves. attributinG It to q
supreme being. which they called God.
He portrayed three reasons why man
should believe In God: First. be.
cause man. looking out into the world
saw power. order. mind and free will:
second. man saw . purpose In the uni
verse and where there IL q purpose
there must be Purposer. which he
called the Divine; third. man felt a,
moral obligation and a responsibility
outside of himself and his fellow men
One OF the chief points brought out
by tho speaker was that man found
- God In everything with characteris-
tics like himself. The mighty Ro-
mans worshiped gods Of power and
were powerful people. The Greeks had
Gods OF culture and beauty and were
nature loving race. The Morse gods
represented herceness and festai riot,
In keeping with their wariike dispo-
siticn. While the gods Of the Jews
stood for Justice. hence their highest
motto. IAN eye for an eye and q tooth

believe In Christianity. must live In
the old world religion and have some

love for money. becomes cold and hard
The business men with his mind on

Of his home. Man sees the world with
his physical eye, the Divine with his
spiritual eye, and they act and react
upon each other. A man views God
so will he therefore view the world
and makes himself into the image of
the God he worships.
: Rev. Mr.. Brown concluded his adj
dress as follows: Therefore what a
glorious opportunity we have to view
God. who Ia God Of love. and to de-
velop in ourselves q spirit of incarnate
love for God az our fellow men."
Today Rev. Mr.. Brown will give hts
