The Paradox.

(Don Marquis in New York Evening 'Tis evanescence that endures; The lovelness that dies the soonest
 has the longest life The rainbow is a momentary thing, The afterglows are ashes while we
 gaze, And those soft flames of song That burn amid the hawthorn scentc cd
 hushes of the May Expire before the sense can fix
 them And notes of moonlight steal. across r.. the tender dusk, 2 - And faery hWrfgs wander from tue
 haunted hills, And tremble, and are gone. *+ ".- All bloom and fire, a , All light and color, scent and sound And passion, which is kin to these Die almost in the instant of their
 birth They die, and yet live forever For by their very poignance they are Deeper into the texture of that cter-
 nal stuff Which is the soul. And grow to unity with it: and there The loveliness which dies the soonest
 always lives.

preparing the manhood and the boy hood of the country for such scr- vice as they would be called upon to give in case of hostilities, but there is comparatively little of greater i'm portancc than to prepare the feet of the American people. The reason is that they have been more fond Of style than of comfort in selecting shoes more anxious to please the storekeeper and the shoe clerk than to please their feet. They have corns and callouses and crooked toes ankles and a number of other pedal ailments that laNmCn never believe in, but which army surgeons regard as important.
 What are they to do? Well, one cf the best things to do is to get a pair of good, roomy shoes, with lots of room at the heel, lest blisters be room at the hotel. lest blistcrs be created, and to go walking in the country whenever opportunity is af- fOrdcd. 'The citizen who has d good pair of hard feet and can easily adapt them to army shoes will be ready for service where the heroes go sooner than the fellow who dances and shoots well. but is tcnderfootcd, i There ought to be more said anL done about tho lack of prCparcdnc cs> ;ls regards feet.

WHAT ONE FARM WOMAN SAW

Plenty of money had been spent
about the house, but there was a lack
of the necessities in the kitchen and
the dining-room. That was what a
farm woman saw at one place in Lau-
derdale county. A gasoline engine to
pump water and a 500-gallon tank
erected, yet no water in the kitchen.
The girls had to 90 out down bad steps
and $50 feet-from the house to get wa

Crop Conditions in
Weakley County.

On asking as to the real farm
ing or crop conditions in Weakley
county, one gets a variety OF
answers or widely different opin-
ion. Some sections report good
crops and others fair, but
throughout theientire county there
is a good acreage of cotton and
tobacco, Of which crops have been
we'll worked and doing well. Corn,
the king crop OF Weakley county,
is good only in spots. In most
every section on the hills we find
patches of corn where frequent
cultivation was kept up between
our numerous rains in the spring
that are good. However, in many
of our bottom and low places corn
shows injury due to too much
rain which prevented proper cul-
tivation. While great acreage
of late corn, several hundred
acres Of which was planted during
the first two weeks in July, is up
to good stand and with a favor
able season from now on bids fair
to make an average yield. Due
to the small amount Of working
weather, there is not as large an
acreage of beans and peas as we
had last year, still the acreage is
large and all surplus seed has
been planted. The clover and
grass crops, Of which the acreage
was large and the harvest about
complete, is the heaviest we have
had in years. Also the prospects
of heavy cutting Of Japan clover
this fall is excellent.

Morris Nominated
Acknowledgement.

AT the judicial convention held
at Union City on last Monday, at
tended by leading attorneys from
the several counties composing the
Fourteenth judicial circuit, the
Hon. T. O, Morris was nominated
for encouragement to fill cut the
unexpired term of the late D. j.,
Caldwell. Mr.. Morris will be voted
for and elected by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority at the August cleo
ton.
When the legislature enacted a
measure giving Gen, Caldwell an
assistant in this judicial circuit,
Mr.. Caldwell, DESTROYS of placing
the position in the best and most
competent hands, selected Tom
Morris, a brilliant young attorney
Of Obion, as his assistant. At that
time Gen. Caldwell's health was
very poor and most of the duties
fell upon the shoulders of this
young Goliath, and the wisdom Of
Gen. Caldwell's choice has been
demonstrated a thousand times.
Besides being a lawyer learned in
the law, Tom Morris is fearless
prosecutor, showing favor to no
man, bending the knee to no man,
fearing no man, but hewing
squarely to the line. Because Of
this extraordinary ability the law
n this circuit has been closely en-.
forced and Tom Morris deserves
the vote in the August election Of
every man in the circuit iavoring
law enforcement. He is a brainY,
brilliant, brave young man, whom
we have known for twenty-five
years and who we delight to see
achieving so glorious a success.

of Obion county, was arrested here

his bondsmen on a charge Of IT.
regularity in office, amounting to
approximately $500. Mr., Col
den has been clerk Of the circuit
court for about six years and had
three sets Of bondsmen consisting
of some of the most prominent
men in the county.
The discovery ofGolden's alleged
Irregularities were brought about
by an investigation ordered by the
county court some months ago at
the earnest request OF S. R. Brat
ton and other members Of the
court.
E. o. Erwin & Co., of Nashville,
accountants, investigated all coun-
ty office records for six years, pre-
ceding, which resulted in the find
ing of Golden's alleged shortage to
the county, amounting to S6,427
and about $1,000 to the state. At
a meeting Of the bondsmen this
afternoon the former amount was
paid the county as compromise
to avoid interest and penalty.
The state matter remains IN
allegiance until the arrival Of the
comptroller, when it will be adj
iusted. Golden was Immediately
arrested and his preliminary trial

| q his bond for his appearance at
that date was fixed at $4,000, in
default of which he was sent to
Jail late Saturday evening.
Golden was born and reared in

the late Uncle Davy Golden, than
whom the county never had a
more honorable, pious, good citi-
zen,

questions that it was logical adj

members when, in the sixty-sec-
ond congress, the democrats ado
pied the innovation OF relieving
the speaker Of the appointment OF
the standing committees OF the
house and placing their choice In
the hands Of the whole body. He
has been without a peer as the
democratic debater on every con-
test over the rules, issues that al
ways set the stage for the most in
teresting and important parlia-
mentary struggles Of congress; for
they are necessarily preliminary
to clearing the way Of action and
dispatch of important measures,
and especially for the execution OF
party programs. Mr.. Garrett has
been especially active and useful

gress, through the long business
absence of the chairman, Robert

the next ranking member, Ed
