GOVERNMENT REPORT
ON TENNESSEE CROPS

The Crop reporting Board of
the United States Department of
Agriculture has just completed
its estimate of the acre yield of
the principal crops of Tennessee
for this year. The estimates are
based on crop conditions during
the early part Of October. The
final figures will be given out
within a short time, but it is re-
ported that they will not differ
to any great extent with the pre-
liminary estimates. According
to the figures the yield per acre
of the principal crops of this
state in 1914 will be IS follows:
Corn 81 bushels; buckwheat 1873
bushels; Irish potatoes SO BUSH
els; sweet potatoes 109 bushels;
tobacco 920 pounds and cotton
275 pounds.

$500 APPROPRIATION
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

At a meeting of the City Coun-
Gil at its regular monthly meet
ing Saturday night an appropria-
tion of $500 was made for the
public schools of the city.
The purchasing of an automo-
bile fire truck with several other
propositions was discussed but
no action was taken by the coun-
Gil in regard to the matter. 1t
seems that the purchasing of a
fire truck is something that
should receive the endorsement
of every member of the council.
Paris is large enough for the use
of one and plenty able to pur.
chase it.
The loss of property by fire in
Paris would within very short
time pay the cost of a truck.
The net earnings for the past
six months, amounting to So, 300
was reported by the Board of
public works.

Farmers Complete Hay Moving.

Tennessee farmers produced
GOT, 900 tons of tame or cultivat-
ed hay during 1914, according to
the preliminary estimates made
recently by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The yield last year was 1,089, 600
tons. The product is selling for
an average of $3.50 per ton,
compared with $3.50 per ton in
1918. The yield Der acre this
season is 1.20 tons and the quail
ty is not as good as that of the
average crop of the past ten
years.

TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF HENRY COUNTY.

For reasons which are well
known to you, it was impossible
for me to make a personal can
vass of any kind previous to the
primary and general elections.
1t is therefore all the more graf
flying to me to know that was
nominated by the largest MAORI
ty | ever received in any former
primary save one and that have
been reelected for the tenth
time by the largest majority
ever received with the possible
exception of one.
do not take the results in the
primary or the general election
as personal compliment, but |
am pleased to regard the results
in both as an endorsement of
my official record during the
eighteen years | have had the
honor to be your Representative
and as a vote of confidence in
me as your Representative in
the Sizty-fourth Congress.
If | am permitted to serve out
the term to which / have just
been elected it will constitute a
period of continuous service of
twenty years, which is twice the
length of service that has ever
been accorded any previous Rep,
resentatiye from the Eighth Con-
gressional District.
1t is almost needless to say that
| am deeply grateful to the peo-
pie who have so long supported
me both for nomination and cleo
ton, and that if it is possible to
make a greater effort in the fu-
ture than | have in the past to
be worthy of the confidence thus
shown in me, | pledge you such
an effort.
Very truly and gratefully your
obedient servant.

F|TzHUGH WILL
NOT Be CANDIDATE

The following notice has been
given US by S. P. Fitzhugh with
instructions to publish:
Having decided not tolbecome
an applicant for the appointment
of Attorney General of the 18th
Judicial Circuit to succeed Gen
T. c. Rye. feel that it is due
my friends, who have so kindly
and enthusiastically given me
their endorsement for that po-
sition, to say that no person could
more deeply appreciate their eff
forts in my behalf than | do.
For many reasons better known
to myself, have reached the
conclusion that should not be-
come an applicant for this po-
sition, but in declining to become
an applicant, I am none the less
genuinely appreciative of the
kindness shown me by the mem
bers of the Paris bar as we'll as
numerous other democrats who
have unqualifedly given me their
support. Respectfully,

UNCLE SAM AND
THE LOCAL MERCHANT

Uncle Sam and your local
merchant are at least two who
want you to do your Christmas
shopping early. If you shop early
you will get the pick of the goods
in the store and will not be
crowded to death at the last min
ute selecting your presents.
When you. get your presents
label them so that when the
proper time comes it will not be
difficult to start them on their
way without further trouble.
Did you know it was only
about a month until Santa Claus
will be here, and you must get
ready for him? Shop early"
will be the slogan more this year
than ever before, and in order
for you, Mr.. Customer, to shop
early it will be necessary for you,
Mr.. Merchant, to advertise early,
SO get busy on your advertise
ments containing your Christmas
suggestions from your stocks and
use some printers ink. The Mail
Order Man is already on the job
and if you expect to see that you
are not cheated out of what is
legitimately yours, fight the devil
with fire and advertise.
Uncle Sam, in order to en-
courage early buying and early
shipping, has agreed to allow you
to place on your package which
you mail in advance of the Christ
mas rush DO not open until
Christmas" or some similar in
scription, without subjecting the
package to additional postage.
The local post office will furnish
anyone who calls for them in
surance tags to be filled out at
leisure and attached to the pack
ages when ready for mailing. By
taking time by the forelock it will
be found much more satisfactory
to you as well as the overworked
clerks in the stores and postal
employees, and makes you more
certain of securing the package
you want and that it will get to
it's destination in first class shape
and on time.

RESOLUTIONS FOR
GENERAL TOM RYE

The following resolutions were
offered by Rev. C. A. Waterfeld
and adopted by the Memphis An
nual Conference:
The current session of the
Memphis Annual Conference has
met on the heels of a hotly con-
tested and somewhat bitter poll
tical election.
The governor elect is a citizen
of this excellent city whose peo-
pie of all parties, ranks and
churches have generously thrown
open their homes and hearts in
entertainment of this body, and
he is an honored member of one
of these churches.
We are fellow citizens in this
beloved and.great state, solemnly
concerned in all that pertains to
the life, peace and well being of
the people whom we serve, and
whom he is now called to serve
in this high political Office.
Be it therefore resolved,
1st. That we, men and men,
bers of the Memphis Annual Con-
ference, assembled in the city of
Paris, Tenn, and without respect
to party or faction, hereby re-
cord our keen sense of Governor
Rye's new and delicate RESPONSE
bilities, and beg to assure him of
our cordial sympathy and sup
port in the successful discharge
of the same.
End. That we invoke the abid-
ing blessings of Almighty God
upon his home and his family,
and earnestly pray that his life
may be used and honored in al
laying useless divisions among
our citizens on one hand, and for
the enforcement of all our laws
and of a decent and wholesome
moral order in all quarters of the
commonwealth on the other.
To the end that our people, be-
ing guided out of the vain jang-
ling of partisan controversy and
the waste and aggregation of
of corrupt political practice, may
live soberly, righteously and
godly in this present world, look
ing for that blessed hope and
the glorious appearing of our
Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ.
3rd. That the secretary be and
is hereby instructed to convey
to Mr.. Rye copy of these, our
friendly and loyal assurances.

PARIS RELIEF ASSN.
ISSUES STATEMENT

Inc undersigned cOllllnlILe~
has been appointed by the
Paris Relief Association to pre-
sent to the public a brief state
ment of its organization, spirit
and methods.
The association was establish
ed last January by the assembl-
ing of the pastors and one man
and one woman from each of the
churches. It has its reason for
being in the loose, overlapping
and inefficient public charity of
the past.
By its operation the old prac-
tice of begging from house to
house will cease, and indeed is
to be forbidden by the city coun-
Gil. All relief work as nearly as
possible will be administered
through this association, and only
after careful and intelligent con-
sideration. On the other hand,
no person will be left to needless
suffering through their inability
or their unwillingness to make
their necessities known.
The organization is the very
simplest possible. The newly
elected president is Mayor J. M.
Freeman; vice president, Mrs.
w. T. Warren, Sr., secretary
treasurer, w. F. Balch, of the
Commercial Bank.
An executive committee, con-
sisting of these officers passes on
every case. Relief can be had
only by order of the president,
vice president or treasurer.
An advisory committee of two
members from each church, and
a committee of ways and means
composed of the pastors COM
pletes the organization. A year.
ly meeting for the election of Of
fieers, etc., is held on Monday
before Thanksgiving.
The committee on ways and
means will wait on the people
early next week for your benev-
olence for the approaching win
ter, which promises to make
more than the ordinary demands
on our sympathy.
For the first ten months the
treasurer reports the sum of
$243. 80 received and 1929. 40 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of
$13 80 on hand. The committee
on ways and means estimate and
urge a fund of not less than $500
for the coming year. The pastors
and patrons of West Paris are
cordially invited to unite. All
citizens are called upon to assist
both by your gifts and by refer
ring all cases for relief to the
association.
Let all our people repair to the
First Baptist Church on Thanks
giving day at 1890 am, in re-
sponse to the call of the presi-
dent, and give thanks to God and
relief to the suffering.
Respectfully,
j. M. Freeman,
w. F. Balch,
C. A. Waterfeld.
