THE NASHVILLE CON-
VENTION

cratic convention is in full swing
at Nashville. 1t is the largest
convention which has been held
since the Independent Convention

history. Judge Burrow will be
nominated today without opposi-
ton for Supreme Judge and will
oppose Judge Williams in the
August election. Williams being
the Hooper appointee and name a
candidate for the place. The
Igubernatorial contest is warm.
Friends of all candidates are
active and good feeling prevails.
Rye is the strongest candidate in
the field and in a test of strength
the combined forces of all other
candidates is near forty more than
that of Rye. Many predict the
nomination of Rye on the second
BALLOT, while friends of all other
candidates express the belief that
at the proper time their favorite
will win. There is not much
of a dark horse being
named, tho the name of Ex-Gov.
Frazier is being mentioned on all
hands. Some predict Judge
Roberts Ct Livingston will be
nominated, It is hard to predict
who the winner viii be, but the
s ~. ongest candidate will be named.
The platform will declare for law
enforcement, the maintenance Of
all temperance law, and for the
abolition of all needless offices,
such as the fire marshall outfit,
etc. Senators Shields and Lea
are attending the convention.

Class Party.

| Last Friday evening the under
graduates entertained the faculty
and graduating class of the New
port High School at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A..
Brown on Woodlawn avenue.
1t will be remembered that this
class has won the distinction of
being a very unique one, because
it has graduated twice. On ac-
count of the addition of another
grade this year, this was made
possible. Only seven of the grad
yates returned this year and their
teachers, Professors Malonnee and
Driskill were extremely proud of
them.
The party came as plea SAINT
surprise and was enjoyed by all.
The house was artistically decor
2. ated with potted plants and cut
flowers. Lemonade was served
on the porch by one of the popu-
lar high school teachers, to the
guests as they arrived.
The guests were received in the
hall by the charming daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, Miss Kath-
leen.
The interesting game of ana
grams was played by sixteen
couples, during a greater part of
the evening. The score cards
tied with pink and blue ribbons
carried out the class colors. The
game was very lively and created
a great deal of interest and ex-
element. The refreshments con-
sisting of pink and blue brick ice
cream, almond chips, and pink
and blue minis, were served by
the Misses Kathleen Brown, Mary
Minis and Susie Frawley.
The guests of honor were:
Professors Mallonee and Driskell,
the Misses Starnes, Spratt, Nc
Sween, Minis, Kidwell, Mrs. Odell
the Misses Elna Talley, Lucille
McSween. Ortelle Delozier, Su-
vance Hedrick, Edna Stuart and
Roy Mantooth and Robert Par
rott. The invited guests were:
Mrs. Simerly and Mrs. Brown;
the Misses Kathleen Brown, nellie
Rowe, Jean Anderson, Marjorie
Hedrick, Doris Minis, Susie Fraw-
ley; Messrs. McSween, Barnett,
Cicero and Sturgeon Sparks and
Jean Parrot, Dewey Frawley,

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Nevada is an up-to-date town.
Every business man in Nevada except
two or three carries regular ads in
the home paper. These merchants
are receiving new goods daily, and
those who trade with them are as.
sured they are getting new and not
shelf-worn goods Come to Nevada
Nevada Citizen.
The best advertisement for any
town is the advertisements of its bust
ness men. 1t doesn't pay to trade
where the merchants think It doesn't
pay to advertise. Where there are no
advertisements there are not many
goods, and stock that isn't worth ad-
vertising isn't likely to be worth
patronizing. These are cold, hard,
twentieth century facts, and the mer-
chants who are succeeding are adapt
ing their methods to them. In bust
ness it isn't what one would prefer to
do, but what he must do, that counts
for success. 1t would be good deal
easier to run a store without running
any advertising. The 'fore-the-war
storekeepers had pretty easy time.
They bought a stock of goods and
kept it till the customers came and
got it. Sometimes it took ten years
to sell off the original purchases, with
occasional film orders to satisfy the
finicky patrons who wanted something
more recent than three years back.
When there was nobody in the store
but the proprietor and his clerk, the
boss found it very comfortable to
stretch out on the back counter and
