Corn Damaged.

The floods and rains last week dam.
aged great deal OF corn in Obion
County. The prospects for fine crop
were seldom ever better than they were
this year, but great deal of it has been
blown down. The wheat crop was very
short and the corn crop is cut consider
ably. The products for the year will
therefore be very far short of full
yield, and the farmers will have to sus-
tain the third of a three-years shortage
in agriculture.

NOT enough CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

A LincoIn's Birthday Party.

Here are some suggestions for a par
ty to be given on Lincoln's birthday:
1.-The guests are to be asked to come
in the garb of 1860. for which old fash.
ion plates md histories of the period
afford many designs. Extreme sim
plicity must be the keynote of all the
preparations. Have a plain cloth. can
dies in brass or pewter holders and the
dinner served in three courses, only the
guests doing their own passing, the
host carving and the hostess pouring
the coffee.
For the centerpiece make a log
cabin and surround 1t with a rail
fence. Toy trees may be purchased to
plant In the yard. The place cards may
be held by little black china dolls
dressed in turkey red or blue checked
bingham pinafores. Each card should
bear the name of the guest. the date
and the quotation. With malice toward
none. with charity for ALL Cross the
glorious stars and stripes over the
table. above the gas jet and give each
guest a little silk flag for %buttonhole or
hair. They come on wires especially
for the hair.) Over the tablecloth lay

There is nothing In ST. Valentines
life. so far as known. TO give a clew to
the origin of the custom. He was one
OF the Christian martyrs put to death
In the reign of the Roman Emperor
Claudius, about the year go. Probably
he would not have approved of some
of the customs which have since been
connected with his lame. In fact. he
had nothing to do with them. They orig.
mated centuries before he was born.
His connection with them was merely
accidental, growing out of the fact that
the day assigned to him In the calendar
of the saints iFeb. IN was the eve
TOR the day before, the day anciently
devoted to these customs. Then. as
Christianity became the prevailing re.
ligion. st. Valentines name gradually
came to be connected with them. and
at the same time they were transferred
from the 18th to the 14th of February.
