Mr.. Ross was q man OF the highest
integrity and character. He was good
citizen and enjoyed the esteem OF hosts
of the kind friends. He knew how to
appreciate these things and his citizen
ship was therefore all the more a bless
ing to his community.
The remains OF the good man were
inferred at Mount Ararat, with the hon.

were a large number, and his Confed-
crate comrades. Rev. Bryson conduct-

Buy Your Winter Supply Of Coal
Now.

When the nations OF the earth are al
peace with each other and there are no
wars to threaten the consumption OF
the coal output, it is regarded as econ
omy for everybody to purchase during
the summer season their winter supply
Of coal. and now il is much more inn
portant that this be done, as there is az
increased demand for American coal in
this country and abroad.
There viii probably be increased de-
mand for American coal in South Amer
lea. as we'll as for the belligerant coun-
tries, Tor Great Britain has been ship
ping annually nl& than 5000, 900
tons, while this country has been ship
ping only $4,000 tons, and now since
EneIand's shipment MUST cease, the
coal mines of America will be looked
to for the supply.
If at any time there has been good
reason for buying winter supply OF coal
during the summer, there is now good
reason for it.

MlSONS IN CONCLAVE
ExEMpLFY THE WORK
Great Gathering in Union City
Last week.

Last week.
Possibly not within the history Of this
city has there been so many prominent
Masons gathered here as has been the
past week. The occasion was the exem-
plifcation Of the degrees Of Capitular
Masonry for Union City Chapter No.
1872, r. A. NJ.
On Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. the
work began when the degree Of Mark
Master was conferred, closing the Con-
vocation with beautiful exemplifica-
ton Of the Royal Arch Degree on Thurs
day evening.
The following visitors from distance
were in attendance, who took prominent
parts in the work: Charles M. Hunt,
Grand High Priest Of Tennessee, Grand
junction; John B. Garrett, Past Grand
High Priest and Grand Secretary Of the
Grand Chapter of Tennessee; Fred G..
Watkins, Past Grand High Priest,
Dyersburg; DR.. Daniel B. Blake and
Stith Cain, Past High Priests, Nash
vile; and large representation from
the local and other Chapters in Obion
County.
The meeting was great success and
will no doubt give electromagnetic
to Capitular Masonry in this section.
Many of the visitors were delightfully."-
entertained at 6 O'Clock dinner by DIR.
and Mrs. I. e. Marshall at their ele-
CANT country home.
On Friday night Union City Lodge
No. 5SS was officially visited by our
fellow countian, M. w. Thomas ].
Bonner, Grand Master Of Tennessee
Freemasons. The Grand Secretary Of
the Grand Lodge, Mr.. John B. Garrett,
was also present.
The Master Masons Degree was con-
ferrd by the working team OF the Lodge,
who showed great proficiency in their
work and was highly commended by
the Grand Master and others who we're
present. A banquet was served after
the work Of the evening had been COM
pleted.
The Grand Master visited Tyre Lodge
No 587 on Saturday morning, when the
Grand Secretary delivered very in
teresting lecture on the esoterics OF
Freemasonry. At night meeting Of
great importance to the craft was held at
Rives, the home Of the Grand Master.
Much interest was manifested by the
members present.
No doubt these visits from the Grand
Master will create new zeal and much
in the order in this county.
The local Masons enjoyed a great
treat and arrangements are in progress
for greater meeting in the very near
future. Union City always extends a
glad hand to its visitors and il is hoped

ORGANIZATION or THE
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
Obion County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee.

(~-~A- ~0o-ty e~~AAAN~A0tAC A-e@<~~A-
tive Committee.
The old members Of the County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee met with
the newly elected members last Monday
and proceeded with the organization.
The party pledge was administered to
the new members. This occasioned
some dissatisfaction for the reason that
the independent members objected to
being tied to the Democratic ticket all
the way through and one gentleman
declined to answer. He was, however,
allowed TO sit as a member OF the COM
mittee, there being no objection.
J. L. Fry was elected chairman and
e. ]. Green secretary, and the organi-
cation being disposed OF the following
resolution was offered by Mr.. John
White and carried by vote Of seven
to five, three members not voting. Only
one member, Mr.. Tucker, of Number
Twelve, was absent. The resolution
reads thus:
Be it resolved by the Democratic Ex-
ecutiye Committee OF Obion County,
Tennessee, that we recognize the inn
portance of Democratic organization at
this time to defeat Republicans in Ten
nessee.
Therefore be it resolved, That it is the
sense of this committee that Central
Campaign Committee be appointed by
the County Executive Committee, asso-
ciated with the chairman Of this COM
mittee, to take charge Of this campaign
and manage the same from Governor
down to County Representative.
We recommend the following Demo-
Gratis for said position: 7. ]. Bonner,
#. ]. Smith, P. d. Hornbeak and d.
r. Caldwell.
Be it further resolved, That it is the
sense of your county executive COM
mittee that Tom Rye Democrat Clubs
be formed in every civil district in 0bion
County.
There were some objections to the
resolution from the independent wing
OF the committee, but Mr.. Green made
q few remarks referring to the fact that
il is always the custom to take some ac-
ton in regard to plans for Democratic
campaign in the county, and it could
not be done otherwise than by some
expression from the committee.
After adjournment 1t is understood
that DR.. Matlock rendered his resigna-
ton In favor of Mr.. Sam Finch and
that the chairman appointed Mr.. Finch
TO act until the committee meets and
elects successor. It is said that other
independent members we're considering |
the same action.
The following compose the new COM
mittee:
District No. /, Ollie Weaks; No. 2,

here they are practically always
present. Russian knapweed IS in
some ways similar to quack grass,
Johnson grass and Canada thistle,
spreading both by seeds and under
ground rootStocks. The seeds are
slightly larger than those Of alfalfa
and cannot all be removed by any
practicable method Of machine Clean
ing. Their chalky white color makes
them especially conspicuous, and
their symmetrical form--slightly
wedge-shaped distinguishes them
from the notched seed Of other sec
tons. The knapweed seeds, how
ever, are not usually found in large
quantities and any lot Of alfalfa
should, therefore, be examined in
bulk. The examination Of smal
samples is not sufficient to SHOW
whether the alfalfa comes from
Turkestan OF not.
