Scott Robertson is Dead:

After a few days suffering with
the fever, Scott Robertson, Of the
Goodlow neighborhood, died Sun
day night, Sept. 10, and was buried
at the Brock burving ground late
Monday evening. Scott was in his
fiity-third year, a good husband
and a good citizen, a friend to the
poor. He leaves a true companion
and two brothers, Green and John,
and other relatives and many
friends to mourn his departure.
By industry and economy, he had
accumulated a good fortune, being
at the time Of his death the biggest
tax payer in the Sixteenth district.
Rev. r, H. Galley spoke few
words Of encouragement TO the
sorrowing relatives and friends.
Surely good man is gone, His
Friend, II. F. Stafford.

NUMBER 2e
Tomorrow Election Day.

On tomorrow Saturday the
democrats Of this county will be
called upon to nominate democratic
candidates for trustee and county
tax assessor. Mr.. LaFOn, having
no opponent, stands, according to
ruling Of the county democratic
executive committee, the party
nominee, and, therefore, it is not
necessary to vote for him unless
you Just want to do so anyhow.
He is already the nominee, though,
having been so declared by the
committee.
Some good men-all of them
are offering for the two offices to
be voted for and there ought to be
a big vote polled, though at this
time it seems a small vote will be
cast. The farmers are very busy
Just now and their work will keep
many of them from going to the
polls. The campaign doesn't seem
to have aroused the enthusiasm
heretofore aroused, though the
several candidates have been
actively in the field for three
months.
1t nearly always happens that
just on the eve Of az Gl4ctfieN some
campaign lie is started, done for
the purpose of hurting some candi-
date or helping another. W.
have no intimation that this will
be done beween now and Saturday
but if any damaging report ~
circulated no attention whatever
should be paid to it. The friends
of the candidates have had three
long months in which to make
charges and if they have waited
until the eleventh hour to do go il
ought to be rebuked by the
sovereign voters. Be shy also of
the fellow who solicits your vote,
claiming that he has his money
bet and appeals to you to help him
win his bet. This is an old game.
worn to a FRAGILE. Vote your
honest sentiments, and let the
other fellow do the same.

Ito ORGANIZE RU-
| RAJ COMMUNITIES

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 20. For
the purpose of making Tennessee
one Of the leading crop-producing
states of the nation, and with a
view to bringing the states rural
communities to the forefront in
point Of wealth, education and
health, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture H. K. Bryson announced
today plans for a statewide organi-
cation among the farmers and the
completion OF triple alliance of
the state health, educational and
agricultural departments. This
alliance has been made to system
atically enable these departments
to give each community the
greatest possible advantage Of the
states assistance and the entire
organization OF each department
will work in harmony with the
others to make Tennessee richer
in the things which 20 to make a
progressive state.
The new plan will be a radical
departure from the old arrange
ment, and among other things
will abolish the largely attended
annual farmers conventions which
have been held in Nashville and
in other grand divisions of the
state. In place Of these big
gatherings will be community
organizations with delegated rep
resentation at a farmers conven-
ton to be held at a central location
each year, with smaller attendance,
but more important achievements.
The plan will be to have each
community organize, and with the
cooperation Of the state health,
agriculture and education depart
ments, intensive work will be done
in each community for the i'm
provement OF agricultural work,
sanitary conditions and public
health and for the promotion Of
greater educational advantages.
These community units will be-
come part OF county organization
along the same lines, but broader
in scope, and the county organi-
cations will be in close touch with
the administration OF each depart
ment at Nashville through the
active work OF the state officials.
Each community will also enjoy
the advantages of government aid
through the cooperation Of the
United States with the state
in agricultural, educational and
health work. The important work
being done at the University Of
Tennessee will also be made advan-
tageous to the farmers oithe state,

ship, will address the voters Of
WeakleY county at the court
house in Dresden next first Mon
day, beginning at about ! o'clock.
Leaving here shortly after the

Mr.. Patterson opened his cam
paign in Nashville last Monday
night in the Ryman auditorium.
\ In 1908 theiNashville Teunessean
\ said this building would hold
1 5000 people, and we are reliably
informed that it was nearly full
last Mondavlnight. Many Of the
! strongest and most influential in
dependent democrats OF the state
were in Nashville Monday to hear
Mr.. Patterson's opening address,
some OF them for him and others
undecided, while there were others
present to hear him who are out
spoken against him.
The following excerpts are
taken from Mr.. Patterson's Nash
vile speech and show his present
position relative to the liquor
question:
If elected tosthe United States SEN
ate will vote for and advocate the pro-
prosed amendment which has been
submitted to congress.
| will vote for it because am a
democrat, and believe in the right oil
y people to amend their organic
will vote for it because | am an
nerican citizen, who sees in the
tquor traffic a trail of slime which
teaches from the capitol at Washing
ton to the remotest hamlet in the
land.
Y | will vote for it because | know
fhe tears it has caused to flow, the
blood it has shed, the hearts it has
broken, the lives it has takeD-the
souls it has damned.
will vote for it because l am for the
right against the wrong, for the home
against the saloon, for the people Of
my country against the infamy Of the
rum traffic.
Mr.. Patterson has chosen Sena-
tor Robt. A. Elkins to manage
his campaign in Weakley county,
and Mr.. Elkins will have absolute
control here. Mr.. Elkins is well
and favorably known throughout
the county as a conservative, con-
sistant gentleman and will faith
fully discharge the duties imposed
upon him.
