When the stranger enters your
gate, speak a good word for your
town, for your neighbors, for
the community.
1t is but little for you to do,
but it is rich in the fruits of
after years.
A community is judged by the
words and the acts of its people,
and we of this community are
judged by others in like manner.
If the hearts of our people are
warmed by the fires of comrade-
ship and brotherly love our acts
will be in accord with our feel
ings, and the world will know us
as a community of honor and in
tegrity, as a people with a soul,
as a place worthy of a future.
But if we loose the floodgates
of criticism and abuse and belit-
tie the community and it's people,
then in time we will descend to a
level which we create for our
selves, and the world will know
US as a people whom it is we'll tc
let alone.
Every day we are adding new
rungs to the community ladder,
but are they going up-OR
DOWN?
Speak a good word, brother -
speak good word!

L. T. Ward, former cashier of
the Bank of Collierville, was
pardoned by Gov. Rye Friday.
Ward was sentenced to serve

Joy. In company with the min
listers he left for his home.

A Progressive Farmer.

Some of our Crockett county
farmers are always in the lead.
We will this time mention Mr.. j.
F. Bridger, of near Cross Roads,
as being entitled to the blue rib
bon. On Wednesday Mr.. Bird
ger showed us a notice of the
sale of six bales of cotton by a
prominent commission house of
Memphis, made Tuesday, the 4th.
Now comes the interesting part;
Four bales-a new variety called
the Express were sold for 13,
13 IL and ID cents per pound.
For the seed out of this cotton
Mr.. Bridger received from 500 to
$3.50 per ton. In other words,
more than one hundred dollars
per bale was realized by this live
wide-awake, progressive farmer.
Some people are opposed to the
recently adopted methods Of
farming and sell their cotton fo1
6 or 7 cents per pound, and the
seed from same at $40 per ton
Mr.. Bridger keeps in close touch
with all new methods and is not
afraid to invest in new varieties
of seed. Bells Sentinel.

NEGROES BOUND OVER

Three negroes, Hezzy Dumas,
Will Bowling and Joe Washum,
who were arrested this week and
charged with killing cows to OBJ
tain and sell their hides, were
bound over to circuit court and
their bonds placed at $500 each.
The case was tried before Esqs.

John Washum, who was also
arrested was dismissed.
The negroes killed a COW be-
longing to Mr.. 7. H. Mustain
and one belonging to a negro
whose name is Cooper.
They tied the cows to trees and
then threw rocks at them until
they killed them. They would
then take their hides and sell
them. A check was given in
payment for one, and when the
parties missed their cattle and
began to make enquiries it soon
developed that the stock had
been killed.

Briefs of the Legislature.

Many of our people are inter-
ested in the effort to pass what
is known as the Game and Fish"
bill through the Legislature.
Our representative is opposing
it very heroically, in that, if it
should pass in it's present form,
it would defeat the taking OF
fish by seine from the Tennessee
river and thus seriously inter
fere with the pleasure of those
interested in the club house they
have erected at large expense.
Our representative advises us
that he hopes to defeat that part
of the bill.
Mr.. Lax is also urging the pas
sage of his bill to repeal the
Henry county road law, and will
certainly haveit passed he thinks
if it is reached on the calander.

There is an ad in this issue of

suggest that you go through the

Read every ad carefully, and

MOTHER AND CHILD
KILLED IN STORM
Mrs. Lee Bum and Her Baby
Burned to Death in Wrecked
Home Thursday Night.

Mrs. Lee Bum and her eight
month-old baby were killed.
Mrs. Ed Hillyard and Mrs.
Wrangley were injured, probably
fatally, and two members of the
family of Henry Neenan were
hurt in a windstorm of cyclonic
violence which swept through
the southern part of the county
last Thursday night, number of
residences and other structures
being wrecked and much timber
destroyed.
The home of Lee Bum was
blown down and in the wreck
his wife was caught between
heavy timbers and before she
could be rescued five-gallon
can of coal oil exploded, setting
fire to the building, and she and
her baby were burned to death.
In the building when the acct
dent occurred were two other
children and Mr.. Bum, who
succeeded in rescuing them.
While he was endeavoring to
rescue his wife, she appealed to
him to let her alone and rescue
the children.
In the same locality the home
of Henry Neenan was blown
down and two members of his
family were injured, but not Sc
riously. Mr.. Hillyard's home,
"a new frame residence, was de-
molished. and his wife suffered
injuries which it is feared will
prove fatal. The house was
blown to pieces, being so wreck
ed that there was nothing left
of any value except for kindling
wood.
Ephesus Church, about four
miles from Mansfield, was blown
off it's foundation and an arbor
blown away. In the section be-
tween Mansfield and Vale, Pike
Rhodes home was destroyed by
the wind, as was a part of the
home of John Carson. When
the home of Marion Ezell was
RACED both he and his wife were
hurt badly and were found in an
unconscious condition early the
next morning. In the immedi-
ate section of Mansfield a num-
Der of fine orchards were devas-
tated by the wind. 1t seems
that other sections of Henry
county escaped with nothing
worse than an occasional tree
blown down.

FUNDING BOARD LETS

Sale Of Twelve Million Dollar Is
sue Completed be Serial
Bonds.

TenneSSee's issue OF bonds,
amounting to $l1, 781, 600, for re-
funding the state debt, has been
sold at a rate which averages
4.28 per cent to a syndicate COM
posed of Redmond & Co., Guar
anty Trust Company, Brown
Bros. & Co., White Week & Co.,
Kean Taylor & Co., and Rhoades
& Co., all of New York.
The other syndicates, COM
posed of prominent banking con,

bonds.
The award was made by the
state funding board at the sue
eessful syndicate's bid, in which
they agreed to take S., $40, 900
four per cent bonds and Sc, All, :
900 A IL per cent bonds. In other
words, the present administra-
ton at this time was able thru
the excellent management of
the state officials composing the
funding board, to borrow more
than SIS, 900, 900 at four per cent
making the total amount of the
bond issue $11, 781, 900 secured
for the state at an average rate
of 4.28 per cent. This rate, ac-
cording to representatives of the
New York concerns, as well as
leading bankers of Nashville, is
a splendid one for the state, and
the deal reflects the greatest
credit upon the funding board.
The state funding board took
all bids under consideration, and
after several hours of delibera-
ton on the matter, 4.28 per cent
bid was found to be the best
from every point of view, as it
enabled the officials to arrange
for the refunding or the bonds
| in the serial form planned.
which met the approval of the
financiers interested and brought
much favorable comment from
them. AS stated by them, this
plan of selling the bonds in Sc
rial form, to be refunded from
year tc year, indicates that the
state intends gradually and quite
rapidly to reduce it's indebted
ness. The bonds have been so
distributed over a period of
years from 1917 to 1866 that the
burden of paying them is not
placed upon any future genera
ton or particular administration.
This sale of the state bonds at
4.28 per cent is the lowest rate
at which the state has ever been
able to sell it's bonds. The state
