The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-10-16

neither he nor his brother knows
who did it. But the knife was
driven in with such terrific force
that eight men, one at time, and
sometimes two tried to pull it out,
without success. Finally in his
hospital here tonight, two men
held Barrett's head down, while a
third with his knee on Barretts
head TO brace with, finally drew
the knife out. The knife had
been driven into the rear Of his
head, entering just above the hat
band, with such force that it went
clear to the hilt, and pinned his
hat against his head so tightly
that the hat had to be cut away.
Despite the terrible wound, the
attending physician says Barrett
will live.
How the blow was struck with
such force is such a mystery, but
one theory is that it was on the
end of a stick. Never did Barrett
lose consciousness, and accompan-
led by his brother he rode back
into town distance of about
two miles from where the Incl
dent occurred.
City Marshal Jno. B. Alton or
ganized a posse, and in an auto
mobile, they started after Clint
Barrett and Flannery. AS they
were about to overtake them, the
auto collided with a telephone
post. No one was injured in the
collision, but the machine was
rendered unfit for further i'm
mediate use. But possemen pro-
cured horses and continued their
chase. They came up with the
men, and one of the possemen
succeeded in getting hold of one
of the men, but he tore loose and
they escaped, and are still at
large.

UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND in RIVER
Body of Aged Man Washed
onto Ford Near Del Rio.

The waters of the French Broad
on Tuesday washed up the re-
mains of a man who had been
dead about a month, and deposit
ed him on the shoals of the Hol-
land ford. near Del Rio, on the
Huff side of the river. The dis
covery of the body created con-
siderable excitement and the coro-
ner was called to make an investi-
CATION. There was no way Of
making identification and the re-
remains were buried near the
spot. The body was badly de-
composed and his clothes had the
appearance of those worn by a
tramp.

HOOKWORM
ERADICATION
Cooke County Free Dispensaries
for Examination and Treat
ment of HOokworm Disease.

following places on the following
dates:
Del Rio, Monday, October 20, q
and November 3.
4 Bybee, Tuesday, October q, %
and November A.
Holloway, Wednesday, October
%, 20 and November5.
Parrottsville, Thursday, October
10, %, 80 and November 6.
Peanut, Friday, October II, "a,
81 and November Z.
Newport, Saturday, October 81,
Is, November /, 8.
This will complete the work on
the north side of the river. Every
body should take advantage of the
opportunity to be examined when
the free dispensaries are being
operated in their neighborhood.
In about three weeks dispersal
ries will be run south of the river
the same way.
Every applicant will be exam
ined and treated free of charge.
The county has made this possible
by small appropriation made at
the last term of the quarterly
court.
Hookworm disease, the most
prevalent disease of the South to-
day, is caused by a small worm
that lives in the small intestines
and feeds upon blood. 1t throws
off a poison that is quickly alb
sorbed, producing headache, pale
ness, weakness, upset digestion
add shortness of breath.
These little worms lay from one
thousand to many thousand eggs
each, in the small bowel, which
pass out in the bowel action.
Therefore be sure to bring on
your first visit to the dispensary a
portion of the bowel action as
large as small marble, in tin
box or bottle for microscopical ex-
animation. Put you name and
age on the receptacle.
This is the only method of ex-
aiming for hookworm. In max
| ing this examination we find the
eggs of any intestinal parasites
that may be present.
Come and bring your children.
Do not let this opportunity pass.
The County and State pas the bill.
Very truly yours,

PRODUCTIVITY or

Most Important Object Of Green
Manuring Is the Addition Of
Needed Humus.
tnr 4. q. wrArnEReroNE.l

Green mannrlng. or the blowing
under of green erops. II one Of the
Oldest methods used to maintain or TO
increase the productivity of the soil.
The effect Of green manuring varies
according 10 the original character OF
the soil. In general. sandy or grayeliy
soils are made darker In color and b.
come more retentive or moisture.
Ciayay soils are made more porous and
friable, SO that they are less likely
to puddle Or bake. and are leea subject
10 washing. Loamy soiIs are lese
noticeably affected than others.
The most important object OF green
mannring il the addition OF humns 70
the soil. Other things being equal. the
best green manure IL that which fur.
nishes the largest amount o. material
which will readily decay In the soil
and thus form hnmus. There are,
however. additional ways In which
such . crop may be beneficial.
Deep-roOted plants are decidedly
preferable to shallow-rooted, because
they penetrate into the snbsoii. IN
this way air and water find entrance.
especially after the roots decay. Thus
in a way every deep-rooted plant ID .
subsoIler. It Ii also supposed that
such plants. especially when pioWsd
under, tend TO enrich the surface soil
With potash and phosphorus from the
subsoil, thus bringing these substances
within the reach OF shallow rooted
plants.
Legumfnous plants are more valas
able for green manurinR than others.
because they not only provide humns.
but also have the ability 70 use the
nitrogen OF the air.. which upon decay.
