"Dixie, " the Song of the
Southland
CONTINUED from page eigh)

Continued from page etgHD
how far it had gotten away from its
original purpose and his own senti-
ments when it became war song.
However, he enjoyed the tour, but was
content to go back to Mount Vernon,
Ohio, where he remained until his death.
There, his little hut, garden patch and
some chickens afforded him sparse
livelihood. Shortly before his death
The Actors Fund of America, when in
formed of his whereabouts granted
him a small pittance. He sometimes re-
ceived paltry sums with requests for his
autograph or manuscript copies OF
Dixie" One of the most touching exam
pies of his obscurity is that not even his
townspeople were aware that he was the
composer of the much loved Dixie"
that has been and is destined to be en-
joyed for generations to come from one
end of the country to the other That
Emmett was deeply religious is evidenc-
ed by the fact that he could often be seen
sitting outside his door reading the
Bible. This assertion is strengthened by
the further fact that he left among his
many manuscripts a set of prayers OF
which he is the apparent author. He
was endowed with rare spirit Of resig-
nation and Indifference to all that is ma
terial in life. And now that he has left
us, his fellow countrymen who were con-
tent to have him live in poverty and OBJ
security in the little cottage at Mount Yer
non, are DESTROYS of paying his memory
the debt of reverence and gratitude!
The most consoling feature of this is
that he little cared, but thanked God
daily for this frugal meal and all other
meals Thou hast permitted me to enjoy
during my past existense."

WHO CAN BEAT
THIS CLOVER?
T. S. SPARkMAN, OF HAMPSHIRE,
CUTS 81 is TONS OF ALSYkE
FROM 10 ACRES.

T. S. Sparkman, of near Hampshire,
has made a phenomenal record this
year with his alsyke clover Mr..
Sparkman sowed 10 acres of black
creek bottom land in alsyke last fall
and the past winter he pastured
eighty-six head of sheep and eighty
Eve head of lambs and seven head of
horses on this clover from time to
time, alternating them from the clover
field to the wheat fields. This spring
when the time arrived to take his
sheep off his wheat he put them ex-
clusively on the clover, together with
the seven head of horses. He past
ured this clover up to ten days be-
fore cutting, and he cut and put in
his barn thirty-nine loads of hay that
averaged 1900 pounds each or total
of 62,400 pounds of hay which is thir-
ty-one and one-fifth tons of hay.
Value the hay at $1,000 per ton, max
ing the hay worth $4,000 Mr.. Spark
man sold his lambs for $4,000, and
sold the wool from his old sheep for
$4,000, making a total of $1,119.00.
His old sheep he has sold off as
stockers for next year.
This nineteen acres has virtually
made Mr.. Sparkman $1,00O0O profit
The sheep will pay for what they orig
inally cost him, and the cost of sowing
the clover will not be much over
$4,000, making a net profit Of one
thousand dollars, to say nothing Of
the inestimable value to the land.

AWAY FROM STATE
OVER HALF CENTURY
THAT Is THE UNIQUE RECORD
MADE BY. w. 8. GARNER,
NOW OF TEXAS.

Fifty-eight years away from Maury
county without ever once having becn
back during that period. This is Q
rather unusual record for native Of
this heath, but that Is just exactly
what W. 8. Garner, now Of Texas, did.
1t is an old saying that the folks who
once lived here always come back
some time or another. Mr.. Garner
was ten years old when he left Maury
county. He remained away for atty.
eight years and now he is back. He
said that he had not yet found anyone
whom he knew, although he was visit
ing near his old home at Hampshire.
Only one old spring of all the objects
in that section, loked familiar to him.
He said that he loved Texas and would
never think Of leaving that state, not
even to come back to Tennessee.
