safe to say will not soon be forgot
ten BY the students. 70 begin
with the spring picnic was set for
the date, but new feature was
sprung by inviting Grove School,
OF Paris, as our guests. The lat
ter school responded heartily,
sending over some eighty pupils
who helped fill Mccall park with
a joyous crowd.
In the afternoon close and ex-
citing ball game was played and
at night a contest in debate and
defamation, the first of the annual
series between the schools.
Honors were won in defamation
by Robert Tharpe, of Grove, who
defeated Clayton higgins, of |. L.
S., but the local boys came
back 10 the debate where Frank
lin Crutcher and Lock Weems tri-
umphed over Robert Tharpe and
Hillsman Moody. Paris defended
the proposed change in the con-
stitution to give the president a
six year term and forbid re-elec-
ton, while Huntingdon upheld
the present system.
Misses Camilla Jolly and Rob
bic Bayer, of Huntingdon, and
Tommie High6ll, of Paris, con-
tributed interesting reading, while
music was furnished BY Misses
Elah Sanders and Louise Mccall,
of our own school, and Misses

MAYOR RESIGNS.
j. D. Heron Takes Up Citizen-
ship in Florida

In a recent letter to City Re-
corder f. d. Walpole, j. d. Her
ron, Mayor Of Mckenzie for the
past two years, resigned, and
the board will act upon his resig-
nation at its next regular meeting.
Mr.. Heron is at present residing
at Tampa, Fla, and his absence
from the state and not knowing
when he would return were the
causes assigned for his resigning.
The charter Of the town provides
for an election to fill the vacancy
from the board.
Mr.. Heron, several months
ago, was married to Mrs. G. B.
Dalton and they went to Tampa,
Fla, Immediately after the mar
riage, and we presume, from the
above, that they have decided to
locate there permanently, or at
least Mr.. Heron does not expect
to return soon to Mckenzie.

FOUR FINE TALKS
Made On Interesting Subjects
Last Saturday

Il visit | wuz a boy SOS | cud
join the Carroll County Boys
Corn Club and grow corn under
the direction of the United States
government"
Four tine talks were made here
Saturday by Prof. U, S. Bright.
Of the agricultural department of
West Tennessee Normal, j. r.
Jewell, assistent state agent for
boys corn club work in Tennessee,
Prof. NJ. L. Hardin. county sup
erintendent of Benton county, on
the Success Of the Corn and To-
mato Clubs of Benton County,"
and Hon. Lucian Rhodes on The
Acreage of Corn"
Mr.. Fewell gave specific direc-
tons to the boys, insisting on the
thorough preparation of the
ground and intensive cultivation.
so as to keep up the dust mulch
and conserve the moisture. Ew-
IDENTIFY Jerry Moore, the champion
corn grower, needed these direc-
tons as he plowed ten to twelve
inches deep in breaking and cult
waited his crop eleven times. Mr.,
Jewell did not urge the use of
commercial fertilizer. He said
the purpose of government was
to teach better methods of culture
without increasing the cost.
Prof. Bright made fine talk.
He should be called a missionary
in the cause of scientific agricul-
ture. His interest in the rundown
farm, the rundown horse and the
man is so humane.
We are glad the corn club is
started. We want the tomato and
poultry club too. Give the girls
a chance with the boys.

and Rev. T. NJ. Boyd led the de-
votional exercise. Prof. V. S.
Bright, of the West Tennessee
Normal, addressed the gathering
in the morning. His subject was
Agricultural Education" 1t was

by all.
In the afternoon j. R. Jewell,
of the department Of agriculture,
talked to the boys on the subject
of preparation of soil, selection of
seed, the use of fertilizers and the
cultivation of the crop. His adj
dress was very clear and much APP
preciated by the boys and visitors.
Superintendent Hardin, of Benton
county, gave his experience with
the boys corn club and the girls
tomato clubs. Mr.. Hardin's club
boys and girls have been very sue
cessful. Miss Myrtle Hardin,
sister Of Prof. Hardin, made $40
clear money on one-tenth of an
acre of tomatoes last year. She
also won prize of a registered
Jersey heifer worth Sl50. We
must have club for girls of our

MAKE SEVERAL ARRESTS
Sheriff Alden and Deputies 90
After Law VloIators

Sheriff S. G.. Alden and several
deputies attended the service at
Old Hollow Rock last Sunday. and
that means something was doing
among those who go to that place
to drink whisky. and are otherwise
disorderly. "a Ei;iS Seal years the
conduct wAssty;a'NiiFat these MAY
meetings that the good christian
people who 90 there to serve God,
the members of that church, con-
sidered very seriously Of discon-
tinufng the service. But Sheriff
Alden took the matter in hand and
has succeeded in putting quietus
on most Of the Objectionable CON
duct. Many were arrested ana
fined andt he lawless gangs that had
been in the habit of going there
for good time, have largely
ceased their operations.
The conduct Sunday was very
good, but the watchful eye of the
sheriff and his deputies found a
few who were not acting as they
should and they were arrested,
carried before magistrates and
fined. Five arrests were made,
mostly for public drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. One young
fellow, member of clever family,
had too much whisky, which
caused the officers to watch him,
and they soon found that he also
had a gun. He is up against it
hard. Whisky and a pistol are
two very fine things to load up on
when one goes to church; Of course
he takes a fine chance to be ar
rested.
The crowd Sunday was large,
but nothing like SO many as some
slime attend this service. The
tough element was not so much in
evidence, a very good sign, and
the good people who 90 there with
a worthy purpose are to be con-
graduated.

adjoining county was heard to say
that be had received IS per month
more salary because he bad at
tended the teachers associations in
Carroll county last year. That
was $50 to him, or about So per
day for his attendance at these
meetings. Other teachers have
been given the same advantages.
Has it paid you?
To the club boys, / urge you to
do your best. About fifty good
prizes are to be awarded to the
boys of West Tennessee. Some of
our boys stand a chance to win
some of these prizes. There will
also be prizes awarded to the boys
for the county. We hope to get
these arranged soon.
