Colonel Hugh A. Catron.

One of the oldest citizens of the
County and pioneer citizen, Col
|onel Hugh Alexander Catron, died
at his home, where he located in
1852, last Wednesday night, May
I26, 1915, at 10 o'clock, aged nearly
80 years.
The aged citizen has not been
able to get about all winter, but his
mental faculties were good to the
hour of death Since the warm
weather of spring Colonel Catron
has been growing very feeble, and
finally the spark futtered for a
while and the heart ceased to beat,
la tired soul taking it's fight to the
spirit realms until the resurrection
morn.
Colonel Catron was born in Sum-
ner County, Tenn, August 49,,
|1817. In 1886 he enlisted with the
Tennessee volunteers in the Semi
mole Indian War, and gave an &C
count of himself by promotion to
the rank of colonel. He was the
last survivor of that war in Tennes-
|see. Colonel Catron was married in
Sumner County and the family emil
grated to Obion County in 1852,
coming down the Cumberland River
to the Ohio and then the Missis-
sippi to Mills Point (now Hickman),
and then thru the country stopping
at the home of Judge Lawson's pa
rents. They pursued their way thru
the canebrake and wilderness and
located at the old homestead, which
cost Colonel Catron six dollars an
acre.
Eight children of the family lived
to maturity, and the survivors are
DR.. r. P Catron, Mrs. Geo. Joyner,
Mrs. L. P. Palmer (Crystal Springs,
Miss.), John Catron, Mrs. H. A.
Compton, Mrs. T. l.. Bransford. The
dead are Mrs. Bob Wade and Mrs.
John Crazy.

Following sketch of Colonel Cat
ron appeared in this paper May IT,
1907:
Fifty-six years ago Col. H. N.
Catron, on a summers day when
the woods were heavy with under
growth and foliage, blazed a way
through the country leading from
| the Moss home on the northern
border of the city to the farm which
has been known as the Catron
place by every generation of inhab-
itants in Obion County, The entire
route was a primeval forest and it
required about days time to make
road and complete the journey.
The road led through portion of
what is now known as First street,
there being no settlement of any
kind whatever between the Moss
place and the home of another pi-
oneer eight miles distant to the
southwest. The town of Union City
was not then even prospect. That
was when Colonel Catron came to
Obion County. He was a native of
Sumner and then about thirty-four
years of age.
This Renaissance was suggested
the other day when Colonel Catron
came in the Office to tell us conf
dentially the fact that his sixteenth
great grandson was born recently
to Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Crazy at
Mooresville, near the line of Maury
and Giles counties. He also re-
marked that it might not be we'll to
say anything about this new addi-
ton to his long line of descendants,
as he is now a widower. Sorry to
disturb the Colonel's sentiments, but
it was too good to keep.
Colonel Catron being somewhat
unusually communicative over the
incident, told us of his first expert
ence in striking camp in Obion
County. He and his party had
reached a settlement in the country
north of this vicinity and had halt
ed for the purpose of spending the
night in camp. Preparations were
under way when he was in
terrupted by the owner of the place,
who informed the Colonel that he
could not camp there. This, of
course, brought confusion to the
and the Colonel mildly
protested. Summoning his wits
and courage the Colonel asked why
they would not be permitted to
spend the night there F.. Now the
owner of the place was native of
County and he added
that it was useless to argue the
matter, that he was obliged to re-
fuse the permission. Then the Col
onel began to speculate on trouble
and perhaps a little physical argu-
ment He kept a cool head, how
ever, and managed to ask again
why refuse a man without shelter a |
place to camp. With no evidence of |
the Montgomery countian |
told him that he made it rule that
no Middle Tennessean could camp on
his place while he had bed for him
to sleep on. and the Colonel and his
folks were taken to the settlers |
house and hospitality.

TOBACCO
Results Obtained in Tobacco Raising
on NJ, G. & St. L. Ry.

Results UDLa1neQ IN 1ODaCC0 halSlnS
I on n, G. & St. L. Ry.
The results obtained in tobacco
raising on the demonstration farm
of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway at Tullahoma, Tenn,
have just been incorporated in a re-
port made to President Jno. How
Peyton by J. H. Judd, agricultural
agent, and should be of interest to
every farmer in the country for the
methods followed in this work are
those which may be followed by
farmers of limited means.
The field under cultivation was
81 acres, and the plants were set
at time when a severe drouth pre-
vailed over the entire section. Not
withstanding this, an average of
1861 pounds to the acre was raised
and the crop which has just been
sold brought $1,383.70, an average
of $145.65 per acre, and a net re-
turn of $79.73. The total cost of
preparation of land, cultivation of
crop, fertilizer, curing, etc., was
$627.43, or an average of $66.45 per
acre. There were 1920 pounds of
leaf which sold at IL cents even I'M
der depressing conditions, and 3,545
pounds of Tugs which sold at 4 cents.
According to Mr.. Judd, the aver
age yield throughout the Black
Patch in Kentucky and Tennessee is
between 700 and 500 pounds per
acre, while 1000 pounds per acre
is regarded as exceedingly good
crop, although on rich ground in
some sections 1900 pounds may
have been raised. The work on the
Tullahoma farm, however, under
conditions which prevailed last year,
is regarded by those familiar with
these conditions as very remarkable.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway is taking great deal of
interest in the betterment of farm
ing methods in the territory served
by it, and also in encouraging the
farmers to raise better live stock
The possibilities of the sections are
being shown through the work be-
ing done at the several demonstra-
ton farms of the road. A system of
crop rotation which will be adapt
able to the several sections is being
worked out, and it is the intention
of the management of the road to
render all aid in its powers to en-
courage in every way the agricul-
tural development of the territory.
About 80 acres of tobacco will be
cultivated at the Tullahoma demon
stration farm this year and field
of tobacco will also be cultivated at
the farm near Dickson, where the
soil is similar in formation to that
at Tullahoma.

Washington. May 13-The Inter
state Commerce Commission decided
today that railroads cannot automati-
&o1lv increase their freight rates 10
cent because on June 3 the So
called Cummins amendment to the
rate law became effective, prohibiting
any limitation of the liability of n
carrier to a shipper. Railroads ha3
argued that the increase liability au-
tomatically raised their rates, 10 per
cent.
The carriers contention that they
we're entitled to an increase because
Of this amendment was based largely
upon the ground that their tariffs
row on file provide one rate when the
usual bill of lading is used and 10
per cent higher rate when a shipper
rejects that bill and insists upon one
with unlimited liability.
"Applyins correct rules of interpre-
tation,' says the commissions report
the Cummins amendment does not
automatically bring into effect the n
creased rates. There is nothing in the
. expressed terms of this act or IN ttc

any intent or purpose on the part nj
