and was purchased by Stoddard &
Ketcham this forenoon at 95 cents,
the first new grain marketed this
season.
The noteworthy absence Of dogs
on our streets these days is the result
of desertion. Four weeks ago the
four valuable hounds of w. Il. Dan
iels struck out northeast through the
country and have not been heard of
since. Docs train is not as long as ii
used to be when he drove out in state.

ELUSIVE DIAMOND
Lost Gem Found I'm Heel of Water
town Mans Shoe.

Watertown. July 31.-Frank Sla-
ter, secretary of the Watertown Ma
sonic lodge, was the principal in Wa
tertown's "today's oldest story" He
explained that While he was in the
kitchen of the Masonic temple, his
diamond ring had come off his finger
and fell to the floor. When he pick
ed the ring up he found that the set
had been lost. He searched the
kitchen thoroughly. The cement
floor was gone over inch by inch, the
~sweepings were spread out and scru-
tinized and finally all the legs of all
chairs and tables were lifted and felt
about. But no sign of the lost stone.
At last one of the searching party hit
upon a lucky thought. He examined
Mr.. Slater's shoes and in the rubber
heel of one he discovered the missing
set. Only a small point of 1t showed
which looked like the head of a small
nail. Mr.. Slater had stepped on the
diamond while searching for ii and
had driven it into the rubber of his
heel.

ter, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, are published this week, one
to Representative G. r. McDade, who
introduced the bill, before its passage,
and another to this paper this week,
answering certain portions OF our argu-
ment. Mr.. McAlister also mailed us a
copy of the bill ITSELF We take pleas
ure in giving the matter full publicity
in the light OF the fact that the bill is
generally misunderstood, or we should
say the conditions which brought about
the bill. This paper certainly did not
understand that it was legal to sell liquor
for medical purposes under the four
mile law. But that, according to Mr..
McAlister, seems to be the case, and
the new law is to throw restrictions
around these conditions.

For Trustee.

?. D. Hornbeak, of Number Five,
announces to the readers of The Com
mercial this week his candidacy for
Trustee of Obion County. Pleas Horn
beak is one of the best known citizens
of the county. He was born and reared
in Number Five, engaged there for
twenty years in farming and merchan-
dising, and feels that, aside from Der
sonal claims for the Office, that district
is entitled to share in the division o
the county offices. Mr.. Hornbeak was
member OF the Obion County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee for a num-
Der OF years and served as chairman OF
the committee with degree of ability
and discretion that recommend him to
the good will of the people. He is we'll
qualified in business way; in fact, his
business qualifications are we'll balanced
and in keeping with his splendid per-
sonality. Another very important de-
sideratum is that Mr.. Hornbeak is a
well known Democrat, having served
his party in the county with credit and
distinction, and with the kindest of feel
ing towards those who differed with him
in party matters. He made the race
for Trustee in 1911 and came out Sec
ond, with very fattering vote, and
feels that he is entitled to consider
alton of his present claims, pledging
that, if elected, he will give to the Office
and the county the most faithful and
undivided attention. We are pleased
to present thru the columns Of The
Commercial the candidate from Num-
Der Five.

Thetus Sims.

t In the paper last week mention
was made of Congressman Thetus
w. Sims as a probable candidate for
, the United States Senate in the next
, Senatorial primary in Tennessee to
succeed Senator Lea Congressman
Sims may not make the race against
senator Lea, but it is positively GER
tain that somebody WILL and if Sena-
would rather see Sims be the sue
cessful candidate than any other
man in Tennessee. To make the
STORY short, Mr.. Sims deserves more
of the Democratic party in Tennes-
see, in our humble opinion, than any
other Democrat in the State This
is based on his record as a Demo-
cratic Congressman. He has never
played hot and cold with his con-
stituents; he has never been a re-
dictionary; never bowed to the fiat
terry of the deceitful lobby; never
had an itching palm. Mr.. Sims is
| first of all a Democrat. There is no
living soul who can swerve him from
his convictions of true Democracy.
His opinions are as firmly fixed as
the eternal rocks of Gibraltar, and
he positively cannot be budged from
these convictions.
There is nothing picturesque
about Mr.. Sims. He is as plain as
an old shoe, but he has become a |
national lawmaker of great repu-
tation. He avoids the center of |
the stage except when active duty
demands him. He is man of years
and has seen long service This was
the reward not of personal magnet
ism and popularity-not of false and
Turing pledges-not of any artifice
whatever-but of actual sheer mer-
it. The man fought his way inch
by inch to Congress and in Congress
has battered his way thru the walls
of Congressional gag rule and spo-
liation. His has been a tardy
progress, but there are no doubts
about it; there are no stains on his
escutcheon. His Democracy is his re-
ligion. He practices it in Congress
as we'll as on the stump. A pledge
to him means his word of honor.
And for all these things he occupies
a distinction that can be credited to
no other Democrat in the State.
We say that Congressman Sims
deserves. to be in the United States
Senate form Tennessee. He ought
to be in the Senate for a much more Y
important reason. The country /
needs such men as he is. He is one i
of the exceptions that Senator La 6
Toilette spoke of here a short time =
ago in his lecture to our people. His
is the Democracy of Jesus Christ,
and that in fine is Thetus w. Sims,
