IN UNKNOWN GRAVES.

(By H. l.. Frfsbie,)
Rank grows the grave-grass on the
hillsides
And in the valley shadows deep;
II marks where heroes fell in battle
And where their ashes calmly sleep
Unknown these graves where they
are resting;
Unmarked by marble shaft or'fane !;
No tears upon these mounds are fall
ing,
Save those wept by the summer
rain
Their names we're counted with the
missing"
At roll-call on a battle day,
And loving hearts have mourned them
sadly
In hall and cottage far away;
The vacant chairs repeat the story
How true hearts cherish fallen
braves,
Who gave their lives for flag and
country,
And sleep today in unknown graves.
No hands bring tributes of sweet
flowers,
NO WreaJneS OF lilies white anu
fair;
Yet nature brings her choicest treas
ures,
And lavishly bestrews them there
Though none may know these spots
so hallowed,
Where rest these moldering forms
of clay;
Yet God beholds, they're in His keep
ing,
Safe till the resurrection day.

CARTHAGE TOBACCO HOUSE
WAITING FOR A SEASON

Business has been dull with the
Carthage Loose Leaf Tobacco
Warehouse during the past sew
eral weeks on account of the ex-
tremely dry weather. However,
it is hoped that the weather man
will come 10 the relief of not on
ly those who have tobacco to
handle but to all the farmers in
a short time with a number of
good showers.
Perhaps there has never been
such little rainfall during the
time as has been recorded since
the first of January. The rains
have been few and far between
this spring and as a result much
complaint is coming from farmers
who are losing their tobacco beds
on account of the continued dry
weather.
A. r. Carter. a representative
of the local warehouse, has re-
turned from a several days trip
to Macon County, and reports
that there is a large number of
crops in that section which will
be brought to Carthage just as
soon as there is sufficient sea-
son.
Those who make a study of
the tobacco market assert that
the coming sales of tobacco will
be much better than those in the
past, insisting that the price will
be at least $1.00 more on the
hundred.

INTERESTING MEETING HELD FOR
BENEFIT SMITH COUNTY FARMERS

On last Saturday, April 18th,
the first annual meeting of
farmers, under the auspices of
the Farmers Cooperative De-
monstration Work, was held at
the courthouse at Carthage, be-
ginning at 1915. Although. well
advertised, only a small crowd of
farmers was present, but those
who were present seemed in
terested in the work and were
helped by the suggestions offer
ed. Perhaps on account of the
fine weather, many of the farm
ers believed that they could do
more good at work in the field
than by attending the meeting
and getting some new ideas. but
it is rather deplorable that farm
ers are unwilling to take advant-
age of the help that is offered
them by the Department of
Agriculture, through the Farm
ers' Cooperative Demonstration
Work.
Those who were present were
first addressed by Mr.. j. M.
Dean, of Columbia, Tenn, Dis
trict Agent for Middle Tennessee,
who spoke of the needs of the
farmers. the demands for better
methods, the help which is being
extended through the Demon
stration Work, the plan of it's
organization, and the coopera-
ton of the farmers which must
be had if the work is a success.

BUILDING COMMITTEE
SELECTED BY COUNCIL

The Board of Mayor and Aid
erman met last Thursday and Sc
lected the committee to take
charge of the erection of the new
school building. The old build
ing committee was selected with
the exception of e. E. Turner,
who desired to be released on ac-
count of personal business mat
tiers. The place of Mr.. Turner
was filled with H. B. McGinness.
The building committee is now
composed of the following seven
members: Julian Fisher, A. G..
Read, L. A. Lyon, Floyd Robin
son, w. v. Lee, Sam Pickering
and H. B. McGinness.
The Council also authorized
Mayor A. G. Read to advertise
and offer for sale the present
school site and building. The
property has been advertised and
will be offered for sale Monday.
May 3. to the highest and best
bidder. The Council. however,
reserves the right to reject any
and all bids.
Since the selection of the COM
mittee there has been much dis
cussion as to where the new
structure should be located. On
account of the large price asked
for the proposed new locations,
the old school site seems to be
the choice of a large number of
the taxpayers, while a majority
of the committee favors the site
between the homes of Judge
Fisher and H. M. Hale.
