MASONIC
OUTING
st. Johns Day To Be OBJ
served Here June "a
With Grand Picnic
of All Lodges of
the Valley.

June Gath, St, Johns Day, great
Masonic Festival, will be celebrated
this year by the Masons of the valley
with grand picnic at the Blowing
Spring, this city.
The union Sunday schools of South
Pittsburg were intending to have an
outing at this pleasant retreat on that
date, but learning that the Masonic
festival and the date they planned to
come here we're simultaneous, they
postponed their outing to future
date.
That there will be a very large
gathering of Masons and their families
is evident, with a favorable day.
Widows Of Masons and their children,
and orphans of Masons, are especially
invited to be present.
All attending are requested to bring
full baskets, as basket dinner will be
spread.
The day will be devoted to fraterni-
cation among the visiting Masons, all
the lodges of the valley being repre-
sented, and addresses will be made on
subjects of freemasonry by prominent
speakers.

Big Taxes Ahead F.!

If the 100000 bond bill passes the County Court
the tax rate will have to be increased SOC, making it
$2.4O on the $1OO.
If the Dixie Highway passes thru this county, they
say values will be increased, which means more taxes
with higher rate.
If the State of Tennessee exists another year, the
Equalization Board that valuations real estate
will be increased and that means more taxes anyway
irrespective of the Dixie Highway.
Under these conditions what will become of us?
The situation is this: two rises in real estate with
tax rate of $24O on the 500, $24.OO the $1,000.
The State will sock it to you anyway, but you can
yourselves from increased tax rate by raising
voice in protest against this bond issue.

POOR LAND AND HIGH TiLLAGE.

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
A county demonstration agent said
recently, 81 have found that the poorer
the land on which | am growing the
demonstration crop, the more careful
ly must plow and cultivate, and it is
of more Importance that l work with
a careful man, if | succeed"
He was talking of fall soWn red
clover in particular, but the same
truth applies to corn, soy beans, to-
bacco, etc, almost as well. On poor
land If a good crop is produced, lack
of fertility must be overcome to the
largest extent by the right kind of
tillage, at the right time. And tnis
can be done to some degree, but let no
one mistake this truth for one of
equal importance, namely: That high
tillage is especially desirable on poor
soils, but it should be used occasion
ally to increase the production of
crops which go to the land, as we'll as
those to the farmer. ... .s.

to relieve his pain. If we can arrest this
promptly, the patient is most liable to trust
