Fights With Burglar,

Hickman, KY. Oct. 25.-Harry
Brockman, who runs a small grocery
in South Hickman, was robbed last
night of $40, and badly hurt in an
alteration with the burglar. The
burglar entered the house thru win
dow. and had managed to get the
money, amounting to $40, Saturdays
sales, out of his trousers when he
happened to let some silver money
fall, the noise waking Brockman,
who jumped out of bed and assaulted
the burglar. Brockman, who is in
bad health and frail, was knocked
down by the burglar, and when he
got up, was knocked down again,
falling against a table and striking
an abcess in his side. The burglar
then made a safe getaway. The
burglar entered the house about 2
o'clock, bloodhounds being put on
the trail as soon as daylight came,
but no one has been arrested.

Cash Prizes for our Good Nut Trees

A Chance for the boys to hunt tree
and make money.
| The most valuable land in the
world is in the Sahara Desert 1t il
made valuable by the date trees that
icoyer every spot where enough water
can be had to make them grow This
great land value comes because man
has there utilized the productive
power of the tree, natures greatest
engine of production. 1t is really
remarkable that we in the United
States have used trees so little. to do
our work for us.
An orchard of black walnuts, or
shagbark hickories, or native hazeIs,
or Ohio Valley pecans, with trees as
good as the best wild ones now grow
ing would be very, very valuable.
Why don't we have them? Merely
because we haven't noticed and
haven't thought. 1t is high time we
caught up with the people of the
desert.
We happen to have a million good
Baldwin apple trees, and another
million good navel orange trees, be-
cause somebody took pains to tell
about the original good wild tree
that started the million. BY build
ing and grating, tnat one Baldwin
apple tree has become the parent of
many millions. We row know how
to propagate all the nut trees, and
can turn one good shagbark or black
walnut or pecan or hazel into mil
lions. But where are the suitable
parent trees from which to graft and
bud2
To help bring promising nut trees
to light, and thus start new in
dustry, the Northern Nut Growers
Association is offering cash prizes of |
from $40 to $50 for the best tree of
black walnuts, butternuts, shagbark,
hazel nuts and Northern |
pecans. Send dozen nuts from the
best nut tree of any kind that you
know of to DR.. W. G. Deming, Sec
rotary of the Northern Nut Growers
Association, Georgetown, Connecti-
cut, and ask for particulars of the
prizes and rules of the contest.
We hope some of our readers will |
get these prizes, for there are some
very fine nuts produced in the ter
ritory covered by this paper.

In Memory.

An unspeakable sadness has falle1
upon us. Were it not for these
words, "Lo, am with you always
even unto the end" our hearts would
be completely crushed.
Monday morning, Oct. IS, 1915, al
5 O'Clock, an angel came down tC
earth to the country home of Mr.
and Mrs. Claud Tucker near Fulton
KY, and touched the little body OF
their baby boy, aged 6 years,
months and Is days, and bore his
sweet spirit away. Little Willard
Lee had been suffering intensely for
about ten days of blood poison. Drs.
Boaz, of Harris, Mailing, of Union
City, and Luten, of Fulton, did every
thing possible to alleviate his suffer-
ing and restore him to health, but to
no avail.
We would not, if we dared, ques-
ton the divine will, nor the mys-
ferrous purpose of our Heavenly
Father. We know that he does all
things well, and ever works to pur-
pose for our good, SO we just bear the
binding darkness as submissively as
our human natures permit
1--WE may not know why death should
come
To take the dear one from our home,
But tho our eyes with tears be dim.
The Lord knows why-we'll trust in
him."
To the father, mother and little
sister words of coincidence are void
of meaning, for words of their angel
baby boy are ringing in their ears
day and night. At every turn some
thing he has left behind is tearing
their hearts anew. You did all you
could for your baby boy, but God has
done more and in much better way. |
1t is hard, but God has called, and he
has heard. He is not dead. In COM
forting fancy we see now his bright |
face before us and we feel |
in our hearts and lives his glad |
sweet presence STILL Gone, oh We,
know. forever. But the influence
IF his little life while here throws
back it's beams of innocence and
purity, falling into our saddened
hearts and lives and drawing us
learer in trust and service to God
Who has said II will never forsaken
hee." Willard Lee is now in heav-
N with some other who loved him
ven as we loved him. We can fancy +,
hem all together loking this way /
nd reckoning us to make haste and {
DIN them in the eternal home which
esus has surely prepared for those
hat love and trust him.
After a beautiful and touching
ervice conducted by Brother Butts, /
+ Union City. we laid his beautiful I
title form to sleep under mound of 8
overs at Bethlehem Cemetery,
there the sunshine and flowers keep Q
uard always there to, await the \
morn, where, we trust, s
rell be an unbroken family in the .
ONE beyond T
One Who Loved Him.

THE FARMERS CHAUTAUQUA.
To be Started About Nov. 10, 1915.
And Carried on for SO Days.

And Carried on for SO Days
A great agricultural campaign has
been organized by the farmers
bankers and business men in S3
counties in Western Tennessee,
Northern Mississippi and Eastern
Arkansas
These eighty-three counties lie
within a radius of $50 miles of Mem
phis, Tenn. 1t is not Memphis
campaign. 1t will be conducted on
"a cooperative basis under the aus
pices Of the Bureau of Farm Devel-
opment of Memphis. 1t will be in
augurated about the 10th of Novem-
Der, 1915, and continued for forty
or fifty days. There will be thirty
to sixty meetings in each county,
making total of about $500 meet
Iings. Organized into the work are
the most prominent interests of the
three States where the campaign will
be carried on, State Departments of
Agriculture and Education, Bankers,
Railroads, Farmers Union, Womens
Clubs, Newspapers and Commercial
Organizations, assisted by the Inter
national Harvester Company.
A prominent feature of this great
extension work is the plan of hold
I ing the meetings at the farm homes
and in the country schools, as we'll
as in the towns and villages. The
farmers will not have to come to
town to hear the speakers, but the
speakers will go out to the homes
OF the people and discuss their in
dividual problems. Sixty speakers
will be divided into crews-two
speakers in each crew-and routed
in each county according to schedule. |
Advance men will assist the local |
people in each county in making up |
their schedules of meetings The |
speakers will be in county from
one to two days. Each crew will |
hold three or four meetings a day.
Each speaker will have large charts
six feet square to illustrate his lee
ture. These charts will be pre-
pared to suit the conditions of the
South.
The farmers and business men of
Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee
are spending $4,000 in money, and
as much in service to carry on this
work
Booklets have been prepared to
meet the needs of those who live and
do business in the trade territory of
Memphis. There are books on live
stock farming, boil weevil, cattle
ticks, on various crops such as corn,
soy beans, cow peas, alfalfa and les
pedeza, gardening, canning and poul-
try.
The Memphis Bureau of Farm De-
is directing the work
Sixty speakers will be selected from L
we'll known agriculturists turnout I
he South-men with national repu- e
.ationS. 8
Every one prominent in his line. Il
These speakers will talk on cattle, b
logs, poultry, SOIL legume crops, hog II
cholera, cattle ticks, boil weevil and II
he things particularly adapted to 5
ZACH locality. q
Here is another valuable feature n
# the campaign; from twelve to fif- u
cen of the speakers will have special .
ecture charts to use in the city and D
ountry schools. These speakers will D
ak home conveniences and santa =
ion, cooking, canning, home eco
lomics and the things that go to
lake better home life.

Z well lived and to rest from the worries
@ and works of this old world For Aev-
@ eral months Mr.. Latimer had been con-
" fined to his room. With his wife be
went to Trenton early in the summer,
thinking the change would be beneficial,
but his health did not improve. About
one month ago they returned home and
the sick man grew weaker day by day
until the end, attentive physicians, kind
friends and loving relatives being unable
to restore health.
On Sunday at 1890 p. m. large
crowd gathered at the home on Church
street where a short service was held,
y then the body removed to Beech church,

reo}and, survive him, and Albert Latimer,
,epho died few years ago, and an in
liant who preceded him 10 death. His

e ctizzie Walker, who survives him, and
Thber name was the last word that he ever S
