jecls aud Ignite and Ignite clay in
West tennessee. An article on this
/ subject is by Wilbur A. Nelson, tempo
rary secretary aud treasure Of the Ten
nessss Academy Of Science Among
other things Mr. Nelson SAYS
Unfortunately, most Of The so called
Ignite Of Tennessee is really only lie.
nilic clay, which contains some bona
ceous matter. but il would not be con.
fused with the true Ignite None Of
these earthly materials should be called
unless they contain enough carbOna-
eeous matter TO enable them to burn
readily under average conditions. As
indicated by the analysis, the Cottage
Grove coal is only a Ignite clay.
Good deposits OF Ignite probably
occur in West Tennessee, but that il
should moi be assumed that any black
coaly bed is coal or Ignite, until It
has either been tested or Analysed If,
when placed on the fre'aud burned it
leaves a mass OF lump OF ash as large
as the original piece, it may al once be
discarded as piece OF Ignite clay.
The relative proportion Of the weight
OF the original lump,0and The weight Of

is Ignite or not II the ash is relative
small, then il probably is Ignite, aud

From the Loretto Enterprlse,)
1t seems that Jockey Day did
not bring so many people here
on Saturday as usual. If one
were to question the reason why
they could certainly be properly
answered. First, it was because
it has been the custom of the
Commercial Club TO advertise it
in the county papers and this
time they omitted this most i'm
portant part and the result was
that just a few nearby farmers
attended. Moral; When you
want thing to be boosted, be a
booster yourself. Second, When
the people here had no newspa-
per they advertised somewhere
else, and now that they have one
they do not take the advantage.
In other words, instead Of help.
ing the merchants who put IN
the money to help Che thing, up
it goes for useless and old time
methods, which have no effect
whatever. 1t seems that it could
be arranged so that the commit.
tee would investigate the best
methods, and not the one they
got out last Jockey Day.

Strong Candidates For Legislature

Republicans of the Thrty-seventh district have
two very strong to vote for at the coming pri-
mary April g. It is refreshing to find busy of
integrity and sturdy character who willing to make
sacrifices of time and to serve the people of
their district and of the of Illinois Springfield
1t is often difficult to persuade good to stand for
public office. It often the sacrifice of profession
business interests and of affairs are slow to
make the sacrifice required.
Hon. Clayton c. Pervier, of Sheffield, and Ran
doph Boyd, of Gava, are Republican candidates for
nomination and election representatives of the
Forty-eighth general assembly. The Republicans of
the Thirty-seventh district who want their district
we'll represented at Springfield should vote for Perer
and Boyd. They should not only vote for them, but
should work for them. There no blemishes on the
public record private character of either of these
men. They will stand for right principles and just
measures at Springfield They will bring reproach
upon their district their state. And remember
they will stand true for county local option and the
maintenance of the present township law.
