MRS. HEN ON VISIT TO
PARIS FOR FIRST TIME

Numerous hens - roosters
too as for that matter-have
visited Paris in the past, al
though they usually merely
stopped off here en- route to
some foreign market. but one
hen visited this city Tuesday
for thr first time in her life,
and while she came voluntar-
lily her owner carried her back
home firmly tied with a strong
cord.
This is the way it happened
= Grandpa" Lilly, who re-
sides several miles South of
Paris, started to town in his
buggy early Tuesday morn
ing. He hitched his horse to
the rack near the East court
house yard gate, and about,
noon decided to feed the
animal. Upon raising the
cover to the back of the buggy
in order to get the feed which
he brought from home, he
found Mrs. Hen sitting there.
1t is presumed that Mrs. Hen
was in the habit of laying in
the buggy each day, at least
an egg was found in the buggy
Tuesday, and went on the
nest there Tuesday morning,
as usual. When Mr.. Lilly
started to Paris, she detrmin-
ed to see the city also, and so
remained in the buggy.
Mr.. Lilly was afraid that she
might take such a liking to
the city that she would not be
willing to return to the farm
and so he carried her under
his arm to McGehee's Variety
store, tied her legs together
in order that she might not
run away, and in the after
noon returned to his home
with her.
Mrs. Hen is probably still
telling the other chickens on
Mr.. Lilly's farm about her
visit to Paris.

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE
STATE TICKET IN MAY;
WALSH'S HAT IN RING
Gibson County Attorney Seeks
Place On State Rail-
road Commission.
RYE Likely TO HAVE NO
VERY STRONG OPPOSITION
Convention At Nashville Will
Be Held May l7.--Must
Select Delegates Early.

Following the meeting of the
State Democratic Committee,
which ordered a convention to
be held at Nashville on May II
for the purpose of nominating
Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor, Railroad Commissioner for
West Tennessee and delegates, to
elect a new state committee and
adopt a party platform, former
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of
Humboldt, announced his candi-
dacy for Railroad Commissioner.
In a statement Senator Walsh
declares that he favors rotation
in Office, and that since Col. B.
A. Enloe has been on the rail-
road commission for nearly
twenty years he believes that it
is time for a change.
Senator Walsh has always been
a Democrat. He is recognized
as lawyer of much ability, and
as a member of the State Senate
of 1913 made'an eviable record.
He has a host of friends through
out the State who will support
him. 1t is expected that he and
Col. Enloe will be the only can
didates, as Homer Reeves, of
Union City, has announced that
he will not seek the nomination.
Nashville politicians do not
believe that Gov. Rye will have
any very strong opposition should
he decide to be a candidate for
reelection. However, there is
some sentiment against him and
it is not impossible that Judge
S. J. Everett, of Jackson, or
some other Democrat may get
into the fight before the May
convention.
Under the convention plan
adopted, all county delegates
must be selected not later than
April 3. 1t is expected that a
meeting of the Henry County
Democratic Committee will be
held within the next week or
two for the purpose of deciding
upon a plan for electing this
county's delegates.

MAY CALL ON COURTS
IN ROAD LAW TAhGLE
Members of County Court Said
To Favor Settlement By
High Tribunal.

In order to settle the con-
troversy in regard to whether or
not the old Henry county road
law has been repealed by the act
intended for Haywood and
Robertson counties, the county
court is likely, at it's April ses-
sion, to authorize proceedings 10
to the State Supreme Court, ac-
.cording to information.
Many members of the county
court, it is said, feel that they
are responsible for the Highway
Commission, as the members Of
the commission were elected by
the court, and for that reason
would like to see the tangle
Strengthened out.
The only way to determine just
where Henry county is "at" in
the way of road statutes makes
it necessary to get court de-
cision on whether or not the old
law has been repealed. If the
court decides to take the matter
up it can be speedily settled at
small cost.
Members of the local bar dis
agree in regard to the repeal Of
the law, and for that reason
members of the court believe
that it would be best to have a
court opinion on the matter.

DUDLEY PORTER VERY
STRONG IN OLD PERRY
Newspaper Declares Editorially
That Henry Countian Viii
Make Good Race

The political pot IS beginning
to boil in the 9th Congressional
District. Dudley Porter of Paris,
who is candidate for Congress,
was in Linden Tuesday looking
over the situation here. He says
while he failed to win the race
in the last fight, that he has not
become discouraged and fully be-
lieves he is going to win this
fight. He further says that that
time he was running against Mr..
Sims, but now Mr.. Sims is run
ming against him, for Mr.. Sims
ha abandoned the Office of Con-
gresham and pitched his tent
upon higher grounds, and was
running among the big On's and
while Mr.. Sims was thus running
he announced for Congress, and
that now Mr.. Sims was running
against him.
Mr.. Porter is a deserving
young man, and has many
friends in this county, and he is
the only opponent that Mr.. Sims
has ever had, that has really
made it interesting for Mr.. Sims
in this county. If Mr.. Porter's
old friends still believe in him,
and rally around him as OF old,
he will make a very creditable
race in this county. Editorial

FARMERS SHOULD RAISE

The Conference of Cotton
States Bankers has issued a
warning to Southern farmers
against raising too much cot

as follows:
With a shortage of ships to
move our cotton to foreign
shores; with no indication of
the end of the war; with the
Nation stirred over prepared
ness for eventualities; with
the buying power of the en-
tire world gradually lessening
day by day, ic becomes our
duty to issue this formal warn
ing as the time of planting
cotton is at hand.
Let everyone encourage the
farmer to be on the safe side
by raising plenty Of feed and
food for the community as
well as for himself, his family,
and his live stock. ca calf, a
pig, chickens, and a garden
often mean the difference be-
tween want and money ahead.)
Economical and safe living for
all as we'll as safe farming"
must be the rule if prosperity
is to abide with us.
Six-cent cotton this f a ii
would spell disaster in the cot

night the day. High prices
and prosperity over the South
this year prove what volunta-
ry reduction of cotton acreage

in acreage over last year is go.

Southern cotton producers,
merchants, and bankers, and
will similarly affect all allied
business and professions.
