Ebert Parish

One of the saddest events that
has ever occurred in the town Of
Yuma, an eveft that has filed the
hearts of every man, woman and
child in the entire community
with profound grief, occurred
Saturday night, July 10Th 1918,
at the home Of j. A, Darnal.
when Ebert Parish, one of the
towns most popular young men,
was shot down without a minutes
warning. The deceased was the
oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E.
Parish, and a young man Of ster-
ling worth, whose character bore
every trait of true manhood.
Could he have lived until Tuesday,
July 22nd he would have attained
the age of 81 years, and how sad
to the hearts Of those who knew
him best, to see the life of such a
promising and noble boy ended,
just as he was entering the stage
of manhood.

REELFOOT LAKE
A Large Portion Becomes Prop
erty of the State

In accordance with the opinion
recently handed down by the
supreme court, Sheriff J.E. Finch
of Obion county, last Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock formally
gave about three fourths of Reel
foot lake to the state through the
state game warden w. D. Howser.
The reading of the writ Of the
court took place in a skiff on the
main body of the lake about one
mile from Walnut Log the scene
Of the tragic Rankin Taylor incl
dent. The sheriff and the warden
were rowed out into the lake in
two boats, where the sheriff read
the writ.
The scene was very impressive,
the barren aspect of the lake and
the absolute quiet adding to
the solemnity. After the writ
had been read, the sheriff was
rowed back to the shore, leaving
the warden on the lake. The law
provides that after the writ has
been read, the officer shall 90 to
shore, out Of sight Of the intended
possessor, the possessor thus be-
coming the beneficiary Of the writ
Iof possession.
Practically all of the lake fisher
men expressed themselves as being
very glad that the state had taken
possession of the greater portion
of the lake. The fishermen be-
lieve that Saturdays action marks
the close Of much dissatisfaction
upon the part of the citizens Of
that section. The warden was
greeted cordially by the men OF
the lake section. No legal action
was instituted to prevent the lake
from being turned over to the
state.

SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT
Shown ia Cotton Out Look over
Last Year

Reports from correspondents Of
The Commercial Appeal from all
points OF the cotton belt indicate a
condition of the crop of 82.1, an
improvement for the month of
0.3 of a point. The condition is
based on July %, the date upon
which the governments condition
report will be based.
The greatest Improvement was
noted east of the river, where,
under very favorable weather con-
ditions, the plant has made great
progress, and made up to a large
extent, the lateness caused by a
drouth early in the season. This
Improvement, however, has been
offset in a measure, by some de-
terioration west of the river in
Oklahoma and Texas.
The weather during the past
week has been favorable in all
sections except in Texas and Okla
homa and a few widely scattered
sections in Arkansas. Beneficial
rains fell over the east, most Of
Louisiana and Arkansas and some
portions of Oklahoma and North
Texas.
The crop is being laid by in ar
almost perfect state Of cultivation.
In Tennessee crops made excel.
lent progress under favorable
weather conditions. Plant strong
stocky and vigorous, fruitins
heavily and holding fruit. North
winds absorbed moisture in some
sections and rains are beginning t.
be needed, but so far lack of mois
ture has not affected the crop.

what it was last year.

NIGHT MARSHALL SHOT
Citizens OF Martin Very Much
Wrought up Over the Act

Officers at Huntingdon and Nc
Kenzie, last Tuesday morning,
were notified to be on the look
out for a negro who had shot and
perhaps fatally wounded night
policeman Walter Morgan at
Martin, Tenn.
It was learned later that officer
Morgan was making his rounds
about midnight, Monday when he
ran upon the negro who acted
suspiciousIy. When the officer
asked him what he was doing, the
negro drew a pistol and fred at
the officer. One bullet penetrated
the bowels and another entered
Mr.. Morgan's chest, coming out
at the shoulder. 1t was not
thoug ht he could live.
Immediately after the shooting
the negro fed, but a posse was
soon securing the woods in search
Of him. At this writing, he had
not been captured. This is the
fourth man shot in Martin by
negroes in the past two years and
the community became very much
aroused over this deed.

STATE DISGRACED
n. r. Patterson Arrested Under
Sensational Surroundings

Thursday night Of last week.
Mr.. NJ. R. Patterson, twice COVER
nor Of the proud state of Tenn
essee, was arrested in a house of
prostitution In the city of Nash
vile. He together with two
other men and several women,
was taken to police headquarters
where his name and place Of
arrest were registered.
A Friday morning paper pub
llshed the facts in detail and
Tennessee bowed her head in shame
and disgrace. The method Of the
arrest and exposure was, in itself,
disgracefuI.
Because Of the position of esteem
in which its ex-governor is held
by many good people; for the sake
of his true wife who so Loyalty
stands BY him; because Of the
high honors conferred upon him BY
the democratic party and the state
If for no other reasons, these
should have kept Ham Patterson
away from such place. It is
pitable that q man with such intel
lect, with friends so loyal and
true, could reach such a degree
Of deprayity and profiigacy as to
be willing to take the risk of
bringing such, disgrace upon him
self and such shame upon those
who have honored him so highly
in the past.
Ii Il claimed that Mayor House
ordered the arrest and the expos
ure Of this double life because the
ex-governor was trying to get
some one to run for mayor against
House. If Mr.. House had ac-
complished this feat in an honest
effort to enforce the law, no criti-
cism could have attached to his
act. But the character Of the
two men being considered, two of
kind, as it were, with no honest
effort to enforce the law, but to
get advantage in a game Of dirty
politics, the mayor can claim no
credit for his great achievement.
Patterson deserves no sympathy
but should be held in scorn and
contempt BY all good people Of
Tennessee. He should have been
exposed that all may know and
condemn such a character. Mayor
Howse's part il the episode
showed him to be little and con-
temptible enough for most any
kind of a game Of dirty politics
Being two Of a kind makes the
episode some more interesting.
Mr.. Patterson before leaving
Nashville for his home in Memphis
gave out statement in which be
said that for his own part in the
unfortunate affair he had no excuse
to make, but had borne the con-
demnation Of his own conscience
for the sorrow he had caused
those he loved. He claimed that
his mission III Nashville was not
political but legal, and that while
waiting for some papers he began
\ to drink and continued until all
sense Of responsibility was gone
and while in this condition be
visited a house Of bad repute and
was arrested. His statement closed
with the following:
However gross my delinquency
I want the world to know that i
is my last offense, and the weak,
ness will never again be repeated
which brought upon me and mine
this deep humiliation and gave C
NV enemies an opportunity fol

Looking After the Boys.
bellows Falls TimesN

The boys of the present will be the
citizens of the future This is too self
evident to need discussion What any
boy is doing, planning for, reading
about or ambitious to accomplish now
will have some effect, great or small
on his after life. This, too, is self
evident. What is made part of the
boy s life during the impressionable
years between II and IS years of a
boy S life. This explains the solicitude
often expressed by preachers. teach
ers and parents for getting the boys
started right An inclination toward
the right or the wrong, the good or
the bad may make or break a life
career. Parents interested in securing
for their children the best things, and
what parent is not interested, welcome
wholesome aids in giving their boys
the right training and the right start.
One of these aids in Bellows Falls as
in many other places is the Boy Scouts
organization. 1t brings boys in touch
with nature, teaches them about good
health and physical development and
gives them proper ideas regarding hon
or and honesty and love of God and
country. The local organization is well
officered and membership in it ought
to seem attractive ate large number
Of local boys.

Fish and Game Only.

Hyde Park News and Citizen.
The best fish and game meeting ever
held in Vermont was that last week at
Burlington. 1t was the best in that it
was strictly a fish and game meeting
and well attended by those interested
in the protection, propagation and de-
velopment Of fish and game in Yer
mont. The addresses were by those
well-informed in this direction and
and much information of a valuable ma
ture was impaired. President Titcomb
IS entitled to much credit for the sue
cess of the meeting, for which he la
bored most untiringly. And we might
add that another reason why this was
'the best meeting of its kind was
because there was not a bit of politics
IN it. It was just what President Tit
comb said it would be-''a fish and
game meeting

A Stitch in Time.
Bennington Banner. !

1t is evident from the recent state
ment sent out for publication by L. 5.
Brigham, the new commissioner of ag-
riculture, that the state is likely to be
called upon in the near future to solve
another problem the protection of trees
and shrubbery against the ravages of
the browntail moth and that more de-
structive insect, the gypsy moth. The
browntail has already secured foot
hold in a considerable area and the
gypsy moth has likewise made its APP
pearance in the southeastern section of
the state. Commissioner Brigham has
already adopted a system of campaign,
an expert has been engaged and in
about half of the % towns affected or
carnations have been perfected to car
~ out the destruction of the winter
nests. This is one of the instances in
which a stitch in time saves many
times nine. The gypsy and the brown
tail moth have cost the state of Mas
sachusetts over $10,000,000 The pests
secured such foothold in the state be-
fore the fight against it was effectively
organized that even with an annual ex-
4 penditure of $4,000 it win be years
before the state is freed from the de
stroyers
