Judge Neil, of Nashville, came
out in a strong statement from
the bench to the sheriff Monday
that saloons were running open
in defiance Of the law; that his
life and property had been
threatened if he did not let up
on saloon keepers. He ordered
the sheriff to put a deputy at
every saloon and lock the door
and stand guard. Such a fleeing

Nashville. The judge proposes
to enforce the law regardless of
threats. He is the right stuff,

spring, and the increase, with the
fields now bearing the association will
be able to ship in car load lots the
next year. 1t is hoped that many in
and near Selmer will begin at once to
put in one or more acres. All who
have grown berries here for years
have made good money, but when
enough engage to ship in large lots it
will be still more profitable. There is
no better strawberry land On earth
than in and around Selmer and Bethel.
