BARN BURNED.
Three Horses and Several Tons Hay Lost
by Senator Wilson.

Saturday morning about two o clock
the barn on the T. E. Wilson farm,
Crab Orchard. was found to be on fire
and the fire had gained such Roadway
that nothing could be saved. AS a
result Senator T. E. Wilson lost three
head of horses and several tons of hay,
as the barn was we'll filled with teed.
A corn crib was also burned, but little
or no grain was lost.
Senator Wilson has recently sold his
farm to T. H. Aytes. but had not va
Gated the premises. The barn was es-
tlmated to be worth $500, which falls
to Mr.. Aytes as owner of the property.
Senator Wilson had bloodhounds
brought from Chattanooga and every
effort was made to find the person who
did the burning, but the HOUNDS were
unable to follow the trail to any def
mite location such way as to cast sus-
picion upon any one. The feeling is,
however, that 1t was the work of some
evil-mlnded person.

JUNGLE" SILAS MATTHEWS
What He Has Raised This Year In Spite
of His Burden of 81 Years.

"Uncle" Sllas Matthews was over
from Pomona Saturday. He was very
enthusiastic over the ease with which he
grows all kinds OF crops.
He says he never saw anything to
equal it in Illinois or any state. He
has raised 250 shocks of corn, nearly
five tons OF hay, good big patoto
patch, an excellent garden and now
has a fine rurnip patch. He has done
all of this IN spite OF being 81 years OF
age.
"Uncle" Silas is splendid farmer,
az industrious as a beaver, splendid
citizen and never tires of telling OF
great crops this soil will produce. And
such land can be bought here for $40
an acre and up.
His parting remark was: Bishop,
you have been telling some splendid
things chat have been done on this land,
but it was all the truth and there is
lots more to tell"
1t is much to be regretted that
"Uncle" Silas cannot call back about
half q century for he would develop
such farm here as would be great
object lesson to our people and of great
value to HIM.
May health and strength continue to
abide with his kind anj cheer ul heart
for many years yet, is the wish of the
writer.

HOGS DYING OF CHOLERA
Some Have Lost Heavily While Others
Escaped by Vaccinating.

Hogs have been dying at an alarming
rate in several sections of the county
both on the plateau and in the valleys.
Some have been neglectful of vaccinat.
ing because the disease seemed to
effect the hogs differently to what II
usually does and for that reason was
not considered cholera until too late
to act.
We learn that losses have been very
heavy in the Grassy Cove region as
we'll is IN Sequatchie valley. At sew
eral points on the plateau losses have
been heavy. F. A. Loshbough has lost
hogs to the value of $400 or more.
Many others in different parts of the
county have lost practically every hog
they had. D. W. Kerley on the John
@. Wyatt farm, has lost $500 in hogs
from cholera. The Blaylocks have lost
70 head. The total loss IN the county
will run into thousands of dollars.
During the state fair H. }. Dunbar
went to Nashville and qualified for vac
cinating hogs affected with cholera.
He vaccinated II head for hlmselt and
every one got along fine and are doing
well. He had nine more that he could
not vaccinate because his supply of
virus gave out. All of them except
one died. He and brother, Mark Dun
bar, have been vaccinating hogs the
past few days and think they have pre-
vented heavy loss thereby.
No person is allowed to vaccInate
hogs until tht take the proper exami-
nation and re sive the proper instruc-
tions from tae state authorities at
Nashville. Mr.. Dunbar is equipped for
the work ana it would be wise course
for persons near town to secure him to
do the vaccinating of them. 1t costs
Is cents a head and the owner to fur
nis!, the vaccine.
In the lace of a splendid mast 1t is
very much to be regretted that our
farmers should be lax IN fighting hog
cholera. If proper care is taken to
protect the remainder of the hogs in
the woods there will be many thousands
of dollars in tat hogs shipped from this
county between now and next summer
and the fattening will not cost the
owners one dollar head. Last yeaE
fully SIS, 000 in tat hogs were shipped
from this county and the cost to the
owners was mere nothing for they
fattened IN the woods with no cost to
the owners. II was predicted by we'll
informed persons that there would be
more fat,hogs shipped from this sec
tion this year than last, but since so
many died of cholera, that is not like
ly, but many persons will not only Sc
cure their own meat but will sell sew
eral hundred dollars worth between
now and next June, in spite of the
heavy losses already sustained.

BAD Teeth
Injurious to the Health and Growth Of
Children.

A recent investigation made by the
U. s. Public Health Service IN connec-
tion with studies Of rural school child
rem showed that 49.3 per cent had de-
tective teeth. 2l.l per cent had two or
more missing teeth. and only l6.3 per
cent had had dental attention. Over
ID per cent never used tooth brush,
58.2 per cent used one occasionally and
only 27.4 per cent used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical eff
clency. Dirty, suppurating. snaggle-
toothed mouths are responsible for
many cases of heart disease, rheuma-
tism, and other chronic affections.
The children are not responsible for
the neglected state of their teeth.
The ignorant ana careless parent is to
blame for this condition-a condition
which hampers mental and physical
growth and puts permanent handicap
on our future citizens.
School teachers can and are doing
much IN inculcating haoits Of personal
cleanliness on the rural school child but
this will fail of the highest accomplish
ment unless parents CO operate heart
ily and continuously. This is duty
which we owe cur children. s.
