Noe IT R\I

Pale drifting pools of silver mist
Lie on the dank and sullen land,
While Jack-o'- lanterns, hand In
hand,
with flecting shadows, turn and twist.
Here. from the gau2e-huus silent
wood
Fits the shy bat on crooked wings.
And some latc-roying sedge bird
sings
Along the marshland solitude.
Beyond the pallid drifting mist
Rises the little Gothic town
It's lamps seem fireiiies on a gown
OF ever-deep amethyst.

Paris Gives Rye a Royal Reception
CONTINUED from first page.)

Rev. P. P. Pullen invoked the
blessings of the divine ruler after
which Mr.. Thos. V. Burton for
merly chairman of the Henry
County Independent Democratic
Executive Committee) formally
presented the next governor of
Tennessee to the splendid audi
ence that had gathered to do
honor to their neighbor and
friend.
MIR. Burton is a graceful and
impressive speaker and his re-
marks received generous ap-
plause.
Just how many people heard
Rye speak would be hard to say,
but a conservative estimate OF
the crowd in town would be 5000
and at least three fourths of those
were massed about the speaker,
sitting, standing and overflow
ing into the street.
Gen. Rye has made a mos
strenuous campaign, bein s
hurried from one end of the state
to the other, across and back anC
fourth speaking several times ;
day, and Monday he spoke to al
enormous crowd at Dresden il
the forenoon, after which he wa1
rushed without rest through thu
country to Paris, arriving just il
time to begin speaking. Not
withstanding these hardships h,
rose before his vast audience il
fine form and when the enthusi
astic applause for which his APP
pearance was the signal had sub
sided, he launched forth into on,
of the greatest speeches to which
a Henry county audience has eve
had the good fortune to listen.
1t was along the same lines al
his Camden speech, but consider
able new matter had been injec
ted and besides being the su
preme effort of his entire cam
paign came as a fitting climax Il
a triumphal tour of the gran(
old Volunteer State.
At the close of the speech
flowers were presented by Miss
Travis in behalf of the school
Miss Burch for the democracy Of
the county and Mrs. A. B. White
as a tribute from the u. D. C.
Such a demonstration as was
accorded Tom Rye in his home
town should prove an inspiration
to the rest of us to SO live that
our neighbors may never be
ashamed to do US honor should
we be SO fortunate as to rise
above the common walks of life.

SCHOOL FAIR A
GREAT SUCCESS

school exhibit held Friday and
Saturday of last week, was by
far the best and greatest ever
held in Henry county or any
county in this section of the ma
ton. 1t was a source of pride to
every citizen and to every visitor.
The school exhibits of the various
schools of the county were ex-
cellent, showing an expenditure
of time and effort on the part of
our teachers and students.
Thousands saw the exhibits and
were agreeably surprised at the
magnitude of the display. If the
young hands and minds that
brought about the great collec-
ton of hand and brain work
continue to improve in the years
to come, we shall before many
years have wonderful citizen
ship. The exhibits filled the
courthouse, number of the adj
Joining rooms and the lobby.
Many prizes were won by the
rural schools and Grove High
School and all deserve unlimited
praise.
The students parade was a
lengthy one-The longest and
best ever seen in a city the size
of Paris. There were many at
tractive floats in the contest,
each of the rural schools being
\ represented. The students in
costume represented the nations,
the seasons and the months of
the year; the Puritans, the
witches and their cats, the farm
; ers, mechanics, ETC., were prop
erly represented, and the entire
parade was an eye-opener to all
visitors as we'll as the citizens of
Paris and Henry county. Too
much praise cannot be given to
the teachers of Henry county
2 and their wide-awake County
! Superintendent. The exhibits
4 and parade must have taken
, weeks and weeks of preparation,
an unlimited amount of patience
and skill, and made a fitting close
to a busy week that has placed
e Paris and Henry county on the
I commercial, educational, indus
trial and social map of the ma
q ton. The week brought Paris
and Henry county closer together
and all are determined to CO.
operate hereafter from start to
: finish. Next years display will
: be even greater, if possible, and
e the Business Mems Club will
i, have movie films made of next
years affair of this kind.
Notwithstanding the severe
$ summer drought the Henry Coun-
: ty Tomato Club girls have done
excellent work and hundreds OF
cans will be sold, bringing the
girls nice sum for their season S
work. The excellent display at
the courthouse Friday and Satur-
! day of preserves, pickles, fruits
and vegetables is proof of the
, energy and progress of the Club
: girls,
Miss Virginia P. Moore, State
Agent, whose enthusiasm has
done much for Tennessee demon
? stration work, was present at the
fair Saturday.
Organization for 1915 will be-
gin soon, and prospects for the
ensueing year are very bright.
The Secretary of the Business
Mems Club will assist the girls

ducts. Mr.. Daniel has in his
office an excellent display of the
products of the girls, and he is
giving them all the assistance
/ in their work.

COMMISSIONER PECK
TALKS ON TAXES


discussed as much, and by as
many people as any other one
subject: by politicians, land own
ers and those owning any kind of
property subject to taxes. All
referring to the taxes collected
by the state, county and munich
pahties.
| want to talk to the farmers
about another form of taxes they
are paying that aggregate many
times more than the amount they
pay in taxes to the state and
county. | refer to taxes they
pay on account of bad roads,
neglected farm machinery, waste
Of time, improper feeding of farm
animals, want of care in select
ing field seed, failing to plan
their work aheap, want of sys-
tenn, etc.
When the question of good
roads was agitated | have known
farmers to violently oppose the
proposition because of the in
creased tax, when the time saved,
the saving of teams, wear and
tear of harness and wagons with
good roa,a.s over bad save to any
farmer who pays taxes, enough
to mention five times the money
he would pay in increased taxes
because of the good roads; ieav-
ing out of consideration the COM
fort and satisfaction of travelling
over good roads.
You can go on to the majority
of farms and find the deprecia-
ton on farm machinery because
of neglect, leaving out in the
weather, running when not prop
erly adjusted, not using oil, ETC.,
amounting to more than the in
terest on their cost plus natural
wear and tear with proper atten-
ton. This is a useless tax.
Some farmers will tell you that
they work more and harder than
anybody. persuaded one who
told me that to keep an accurate
record Of every day he worked
that he would be willing to pay
for if he were hiring it done.
believe he was honest for he re.
ported 80 days and now admits
that wasted time was the biggest
tax he had been paying. Let the
man in the city whose time is his
capital and he has to buy all Of
his food clothing, fuel, etc. only
work so days in the year at the
wages he is paid and he will come
out badly in debt. No other vo'
cation will provide as many com
forts at the same expenditure Of
labor as farming.
| have seen much waste ir
feeding farm animals for want
of knowing how to feed to gel
the best results; knowing how tt
feed balanced ration. With
some farmers feed is feed and
just so their animals get it, it is
immaterial whether it will make
heat, fat or build up the muscles,
when by intelligent feeding one
half the tonnage would have
given better results. The other
half was an unnecessary tax paid
either to ignorance or indiffer-
ence.
| have seen farmers when they
were ready to plant corn go to
their cribs and shell up their
seed corn without making
an effort at selection of seed.
When everyone who keeps in
touch with the work that has
been done in seed corn selection
knows that by proper selection of
seed, other conditions being the
same, the yield can easily be
doubled. Is not as much more
than you make rather a heavy
tax to pay for neglect in select
ing the proper seed corn?

farm without any definite plan
about their work. | have seen

FOR BELGIAN PEOPLE

Williamstown, Mass. Oct. 31.--A
new program for adding TO the con-
tributions of the American Red Cross
Society is suggested by Walter f.

class of 1914. in letter to the Will

Recent announcement that almost
seven million Belgian citizens are on
the verge of starvation brings pro-
found pity TO the hearts of every
American. regardless OF his political
sympathies In this horrible European
conflict Their sufferings must in
crease ten fold as winter approaches.
Such thoughts bring a realization
of the fact that we have not done all
that we might in support OF the self
sacrificing efforts Of the Red Cross So
ciety to mitigate the sufferings of these
and other unfortunates.
II would suggest that Manager Hall
arrange a post season game with one
OF our rivals and the proceeds of such
game go to the American Red Cross

you notify the leading colleges and
universities of our action in order 70
