McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1913-01-03

This is hog-killing weather, but
hogs are somewhat scarce. A strange
disease struck them this summer and
thinned them out to count. Some
called it consumption. They would
linger for A or 6 weeks sometimes,
and seldom one would get well. Meat
from the grocery is selling at from
IA to Zoe per pound.
The old McNairy families in this
part are getting along fine, namely:
j. H. Bell and Cicero Hendrix and
their married sons, also Will Cobb, P.
M. Deaton and w. s. Moore. Will
Cobb has bought half-interest in a
gasoline grist mill and blacksmith
shop at Unionville, 3 miles west Of
Fowlkes, and has bought q lot, built a
house and moved to same.
John Bobo is in Jail for passing
counterfeit money.

Globe Democrat one year.

The jury brought in a verdict
of guilty against So OF the 40
dynamitars in the u. S. Court at
Indianapolis Saturday. This has
been the most noted and far
reaching trial ever held in a Grim
inal u. S. Court. 1t is q hard
blow to Union labor unless the
organization cuts loose from their
former criminal plans of dyna-
hitting and other outrages. There
are thousands of the union who
never believed suca things were
being carried on, but many Of
the leadersdid and will now suf-
fer for their crimes.

HEADWORK

Iommy's mother had made
him a Christmas present of a toy
shovel and sent him up to the nur-
sery to playwith his baby brother.
Take care Of baby, now" said
his mother, and don't let any
thing hurt hin"
Presently screams of anguish
from baby sent the distracted
parent flying upstairs.
For goodness sake, Tommy,
what has happened to the baby"
said she, trying to soothe the
wailing infant.
There was naughty fly bit
ing him on the top of his head and
l killed it with the shovel, " was
the proud reply.

They are 'sure-thing specula-

The City Club has stirred up a
competition. among architects.
Prizes of 5000 have been offered
for the best plans showing how to
develop a quarter section of land
in the city limits. The plans will
show arrangement of houses,
parks, Fairgrounds and public
buildings, how close together and
how far apart houses ought to be,
width of streets and other fea-
lures.
A place in front of the house to
grow some flowers, with real
green grass, and a place behind
the house to dig around with a
fork and hoe and raise potatoes,
cabbages and truck-that's what
some of the City Club members
say every family that wants it
ought to have the chance to get.
Let the kids have room to play
and give 'em chance to dig
around in the ground a little and
they're not so likely to grow up
and become automobile bandits
that's the idea.
Every family that desires a
plot Of ground for pleasure and
for personal expression should be
given the opportunity" said
