Monday and reported the discovery
of a belled buzzard. Mr.. Robin
son says he saw the bird flying
over the community and he could
hear the bell ringing plainly. Mr..
Robinson insisted that there was
no mistake about seeing the buzz
zard and hearing the bell, and that
he was in his normal state of mind
and could not have been deceived.
He could not tell where the >belled
bird came from or how long it had
been in that community.

The Soy Bean

Mr.. A. j. Holland, of McLe-

office with a bunch Of soy or sofa
beans that he says is a money MAX
er for farmers. His plan is to
plant in the corn row and cultivate
along with the corn crop. He
gathers it by pulling or hreakieg
the stalk when sufficiently ripe or
leave it standing in the field and
when the beans fall out in the
early winter, he pastures his hogs
on them during the winter months.
They increase the fertility of the
soil like peas, the stalks make fine
hay and the bean is a rich feed for
any kind of stock. Paris Partisan.

BIG RAID
Cold Drink Stand is Hit Pretty
Hard

X. A. and Herman Williams
have been running a restaurant
and cold drink stand in the build
ing next door to DR.. McCalls Of
flee on the north side of the square
for several weeks. The place got
under suspicion, it being believed
by some that they were handing
out liquids not admissible by law.
There were evidences Of drinking
about the place and officers began
a quiet investigation. L. Fl. Ba-
ker, deputy internal revenue col
.,9ctor, and other deputies came up
from Memphis last Friday and
went through the stock. 1t was
believed that there was some bar
rel goods in the cellar, but the
owners insisted that there was
nothing doing in that line, claim
ing that they had no key to the
cellar. The officers did not insist,
but waited their turn.
Friday after the midnight hour,
the stuff, that had been hid away
in the cellar, was quietly moved
to Clifford Williams barn, a mile
west of town. The goods were
found Saturday morning early.
They settled with Uncle Sam by
taking out federal license. County
Court Clerk Williams then issued
a distress warrant for state and
county license, closing up the
place and Sheriff Alden took charge
of the goods. He found nineteen
barrel of beer and perhaps some
whisky.
The state and county license is
81, 900 and even if they should pay
this they would still be liable to
under the four mile
law for every drink they sell.

CROP REPORT
Cotton and Corn Were Injured
by Dry Weather

In his crop report for Septem-
Der, issued last Tuesday, Agricul-
tural Commissioner I. F. Peck
comments as follows:
Reports from crop correspond
ents in eighty-seven of the ninety
six counties in Tennessee indicate
that crop conditions in the state
are hardly as good this season of
of the year as at the same time
last year.
There was an excess of hot,
dry weather during September,
and cotton and other crops ma
tured fast. Cotton picking was
begun during the last weeks of
September, but will not become
general until the first of October.
The cotton crop was damaged some
by the hot, dry weather, and the
yield will not equal that of last
year. Late corn was also dam
aged by the dry weather of Sep
TENDER. and the yield will be re.
duced in consequence.
Trains toward the latter part
of the month helped clover and
pastures. Stock peas reported in
good condition and a good yield
assured.
