Gov. Rye Here Tuesday.

Last Tuesday afternoon at One O'Clock
Gov. Tom C. Rye addressed a large
gathering of Fsyette county democrats
in this city, the gathering comfortably
filled the circuit court room in which
the speaking was held. There was a
large number of ladies in the court
room and an appreciative audience lis
tened attentively to the exposition Of
the administration record as given by
the chef of the state.
Coy. Rye was In fine fettle and there
was not break in the attention of his
audience which he held from the first
sentence to the last Of an hour-and-a
half address. Somerville audiences are
peculiarly quiet, and this is true of polit-
ical as well as other audiences here, and
wild applause is hardly known with
them, but several times during the
governors address applause was given
when he exposed weakness of his op-
ponsnt's untenable positions or gave
just credit to his own administration
for the good work it has done in saving
thousands to tina state and its taxpapers.
His address was the one he has de-
livered at other points thruout the
state with some changes in the manner
of handling few of the subjects dis
cussed. And the manner of his delivery
ives particularly pleasing to his party
adherents.
All opposition to the ticket seems
wiped out here and a few democrats
who hsYe said they could not support
this candidate or that, even tho nom.
inees of the party, are ready to give it
up and swear allegiance to the whole
ticket, and the only trouble that con-
fronts Fayette county democrats is
getting voters to the polls on November
7 when the election is held. 1t is not
a question of opposition but one of in
activity and indifference that will keep
this county from giving the ticket it's
normal democratic vote. and the COVER
nor's coming to Someryille has had a
fine effect.
He arrived in Somerville Monday
night from Jackson and went to quar-
ters already arranged for him in the
Hotel Bryson, Tuesday morning he was
seen by number of friends in his rooms
and over town, and when the hour for
the speaking arrived he was escorted
to the court house by committne ap-

all of splendid size and excellent value,
and she had borne her owner five other
mules which he had sold and for which
he had received about $500.
The exhibits of the school poultry
clubs were most creditable. In the en-
tries Of the Braden clubs there were
about three dozen specimens which re-
fleet credit on their owners and on the
school that has induced these children
to an interest in poultry, while other
clubs with fewer entries had birds just
as worthy and which shared with Braden
the individual prizes, while the club
prize, handsome loving cup given by
the Somervllle Bank & Trust Co., was
won by the Braden club.
The entries in the agricultural de-
partment showed that efforts of diver
sifed farming in Fsyette County have
hot been without splendid degree of
success, The exhibits in this depart
ment included almost every species of
forage crops, soil improving crop, grains
grasses, cloYers, vegetables that have
been suggested for planting in this sec
ton, and of quality that proves we can
grow anything in way of field and gar
den truck that we want. A basket of
nine varieties of vegetables from one
garden was sent to The Falcon office
after the fair closed, while one individ-
ual booth had more than twenty five
varieties of field and garden crops.
The canning club exhibit arranged in
the chancery court room would have
done credit to the State Fair. Vegeta-
bles and fruits canned in glass by the
girls of these clubs made the mouth of
an apicure fairly over run as he viewed
them, and many cans in tin on the
shelves of this department were evil
dence of the good work these clubs have
done thru the year under the direction
of Miss Elise Catron, County Agent.
The loving cup offered by the Fayette
County Bank for the best canning club
exhibit was won by the Parks school.
A number of canning club members
who accepted loans at 5 per cent
from the Somerville Bank & Trust Co.
during the year repaid their loans dur
ing the two days of the fair.
The exhibits Of the womaps depart
ment were hardly as numerous as they
were in 1915, but some of the rarest and
most excellent and tasty ever seen in
any fair were among them, and they
were sufficient to hold the attention for
hours Of any one who loves the neat,
the pretty, and the useful, from the
hand of woman.

County Fair Success.

The Fair held in this city last week
was a success in every point, and this
is the way it is viewed by all who saw
it. It's success has been a matter of
conversation and satisfaction to those
interested in the progress and develop
ment of better farming in the county.
In nearly every department the num-
ber of exhibits was much larger than
was in the last years fair. while the
quality of the exhibits would do credit
to any county in the land.
Estimates of conservative citizens
are that in the two days Of the fair at
least five thousand men, women, and
children visited the exhibits, and this
estimate, we believe not far from right
From early morn till nightfall both
days the public square and nearly streets
were perfect throng of humanity,
viewing the various departments of the
fair, and better humored crowd was
never seen, and thruout the two days
there was not breach of orderly con.
duct.
The poultry pens arranged by &C.
Williams, and considered as ample fol-
all probable needs, proved to be moi
half enough to accommodate the almost
200 fowls which were entered. So, al
so did the cattle pens and horse and
mule pens built by w. S. Latta prove
entirely insufficient for the one and Q
quarter hundred horses and mules anc
nearly eighty cattle in the show. The
poultry entries more than doubled those
of last year while the cattle entries
were four times last years and horses
and mules five times last years.
The hog entries numbered few
more than last year, many hogs being
kept away because of the prevalence OF
cholera in many parts of the county,
And in quality the exhibits of live
stock are right up to the scratch. II
must have done the hearts Of every
lover OF fine stock good to see the ex.
cellent mules. horses, beef and dairy
cattle, hogs and poultry, all of pure
breeding and of such fine quality. Most
of this stock was taken off pasture anc

Lyceum Course Begins

Those who did not attend the per-
Torrance of the Cosmopolitan Ladies
Quartette at the court house last Mon
day night missed rare treat, As the
first number Of the High School Ly-
ceum Course 1t speaks well for what
may be expected in the five remaining
numbers. Miss Agar, the leader of
the company was reader Of marked
ability and her captivating ways readi-
" won the audience to her. She was
ably supported by Miss MalOney at the
piano and Miss Claybrook on the violin.
Miss Meals contralto showed promise
of splendid future. The 'saxaphone
and Hawaiian numbers given by the
quartette were especially enjoyable.
The next number on this course will
appear here on November Srd and the
ladies' of the School Improvement As
socIation hope that large crowd of
the people Of Somerville will be pres
ent at that time. The next attraction
will be the LeWitte Entertainers and
from press comments we may expect
at that time very enjoyable evening.
The public is constantly locking for
something different in the way of en-
tertainment, and while the LeWitte
Entertainers are not new in this chos-
en- field, they have an entirely new and
unique form of entertainment that we
take great pleasure in presenting to
the public. This entertainment has
been given all over the world and has
never failed to create growing SEN
sation wherever it has appeared. The
principal feature of the entertainment
is the rapid change work. and Mr.. Le-
Whites marvellous work In this line
enables him to give an entire play of
thirty minutes duration, presenting
each Of the seven different characters
himself, making each change complete
in such short space of time that he
leaves his audience astonished. The
program consists of readings, vocal
solos. pianologues. quick-change work,
etc. This work shows high artistic
finish. and the press comments from
the chief cities of the world proclaim
this entertainment to be one Of un-
usual merit.
Following the LeWittes, we win
have the Boyds. most versatile duo;
the Howard Wade Kimsey Concert
Company; the Metropolitan Lyceum

In Lincoln County the other day the
owners Of the toll roads were leaders
in the campaign which resulted in the
defeat of a good roads bond issue.
Toll roads are antiquated. They are
antagonistic to the spirit of Democratic
progress. John w. Overall, the Re-
publican candidate for governor who
calls himself "plain business man and
farmer" is the chief owner of 80
miles of turnpike between Lebanon
and Smithville. Is it any wonder that
Candidate Overall has nothing to say
to the people about good roads and
better roads?

From Democratic Head
quarters

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2O.-The Re-
publicans appear to be up to the same
old tricks they tried to work when they
were depending on Democratic votes
to maintain them in power. They are
playing to Democratic votes, and at
the same time are abusing Democrats.
In one of his speeches the other day
Mr.. Hooper said that Congressman
McKellar's friends in the cities were
preparing to knife" Gov. Rye; and
that this was excuse enough for Gov.
Rye's friends to knife" Mr.. Nickel.
lar.
Judge L. d. Hill, chairman of the
State Democratic Campaign Committee
denounced this Republican bid for
votes in short order.
"This is the most despicable thing
Democrats were ever called upon to
listen to-" said Judge Hill. The
trouble is that the Republicans have no
issue either in the state or the nation.
and they resort to bids of this kind for
Democratic votes. This Is a straight
fight between the Republican party at
its worst and the Democratic party at
its best. There is absolutely no divi-
sion among the Democrats.
''The truth is, if there really is to
be any difference in the vote in the
cities, Gov. Rye will lead the ticket.
Even in Memphis, Mr.. McKellar's own
home, Gov. Rye will run neck and neck
with him. In Knoxville, Chattanooga
and Nashville there will be practically
no difference in the vote.
Democrats are for the ticket be-
cause it stands for something. This
is Democratic year. The people of
Tennessee are proud of the Democratic
record in the state and nation. They
Ger rtainly have no patience with Hoop
er or any other Republican who runs
about the state jeering at Woodrow
Wilson and trying to persuade Demo-
Gratis to mock him in the eyes of the
world"

Notes on the Fair

The fine stock from the Alexander q
VESSEL farm just east Of this city
made fine showing at the fair last
week. The stable of draft and driving
horses, and good jacks would be hard
to beat. And their Duroc hogs and
Shorthorn cattle are genuine prize win
ners.
The individual booths of j. A. Nc
Nabb Of the fifth district and w. N.
McFadden and H. A. Allen of the
eighth district were among the most
interesting things at the recent county
fair. These gentlemen went to some
trouble in the preparation Of their ex-
hibits and they showed for all that was
expended in time, money and energy on
them. They would do credit to any
fair
The counterpane of Mrs. Nj. L. Wiki
inson shown in the Woman's Depart
ment Of the county fair last week was
one of the curiosities of the fair. II
was made in Ireland nealy one hun
dred and fifty years ago.
The second Oldest article in the fair
last week as far as The Fslcon has
learned was a comfort entered by j.
M. Culbresth, and which was made by
the first Mrs. Culbresth before her
marriage and was probably more than
fifty years Of age.
The first prize Poland China boar is
the property Of ]. A. Winfrey Jr. and
would weigh not far from thousand
pounds il fat enough to butcher.
Few men in this county have seen 3
buster day than were the two days of
the fair for w. s. Latta who was the
general superintendent of the fair.
And the splendid way in which every
thing moved was evidence that the
directors made no mistake when they
chose him for that important duty.
Most merchants about the square
were kept busy the two fair days wait
ing on customers. The cotton gins Of
the town were all kept going and cot
ton was selling at II cents and above
that figure, seed as high as s49 per ton,

One of the most useful exhibits at
the fair and one of the best was the
gasoline engine and electric light outfit
of G.. A. Oliver, the Ford man. He
installed an engine and dynamo in the
court house yard and kept it running
thruout the fair. furnishing electric
lights all around the grounds by line
of incandescent lights strung for the
occasion. Mr.. Oliver installs these
outfits in any home and makes the en-
gine furnish power for all kinds of
home work.

In East Tennessee Mr.. Hooper
criticized Mr.. McKellar severely for
voting against notorious pension graft
at Washington. Hooper is in Middle
and West Tennessee bidding for the
votes of Democrats. He religiously
avoids that line of criticism now. But
since Mr.. Hooper is in this part of the
state wouldn't it be good time to tell
the voters why, as member Of the
Legislature Of 1893 he voted against q
bill to give the Confederate soldiers Of
Tennessee a small pension to save him
in his declining years?
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-10-20

and business was moving right along
while the best fair the county has had
was in progress.
DIR. w. S. A. Castles of Memphis,
formerly of Oakland. was among visi-
tors to the fair.
1t was gratifying to see exhibits and
visitors to the fair from every section
Of the county. Some of the best ex-
hibits at the fair came from the far
corners of the county, among them the
poultry from Braden, Cochran horses
from Braden, j. F. league horses from
Moscow, DR.. G. 7. Brinkley driving
horses from Fsyette Corner. 1t was a
genuine COUNTY FAIR.
The Parks School canning club ex-
hibit which won first prize and the
Fayette County Bank Loving cup was
a credit to the Parks community in the
fifteenth district, and particularly to
the school and its teacher, Miss Maud
Parks.
AS you read this bear in mind that
the premiums awarded last week can
not be paid until you pay your subscrip-
ton to the premium fund. Before the
fair was undertaken the directors Sc
cured subscriptions to cover the ex-
penses and premiums. The treasurer
last Saturday informed the secretary
that less than one fourth of these sub
scriptions have been paid. These
should be attended to AT ONCE SO
that checks may be issued to the prize
winners and mailed out to them.
The splendid music furnished dur
ing the two days of the fair was fea-
ture of fine entertainment and the way
the crowds flocked to it when the band
began to play was guarantee of the
appreciation for the music by the people.
An ex-convict tried hard to set up
an opposition fair Thursday in front of
the Starks hotel. when he attempted
to make an address on prison life, tho
his real purpose was to sell books.
City authorities were appealed to and
he was stopped from his harangue
which could not possibly bring profit to
the fair nor any body here.
