Sipes for the Senate

We understand that Hon. J. P.
Sipes, for three terms member of the
legislature, has an eye on the senate
from this district. That Sipes has
proved to be faithful and safe men,
Der of the lower house is we'll known.
He has been true as steel on all leg
islation looking to the morals and
good of the state. His vote at last
election Of $50 majority over the
chairman of the county court, shows
that he gets votes outside his party.
We do not personally know Mr..
Stockard, the democratic nominee,
but understand he is one of the old
line regulars, wearing the yoke of
the bosses that be. Mr.. Sipes can
get the solid republican vote and five
hundred IN the district who vote for
men and measures rather than a
political label. The convention to Sc
lect candidate has not been called,
but should be and at Selmer, asst has
been some time since she has been
honored with senatorial convention.

1t is strange though true, that
there are men who will beg and
get credit from a merchant, and
when asked to pay, fail to do SO.
Then they cease to trade at that
store and if they have a dime to
spend go to a merchant who
would not credit them. But
worse than all, they will knock
on the first merchant, and say
his goods are no good, and his
prices are higher than they should
be. Are you such a man? If SO,
you would feel more like a gen.
tleman if you would either pay
what you owe or tell the mer-
chant you cannot but will, and
continue to trade with him as
long as he can credit you.

dearly beloved Brother L. B. Carter
on Aug. 9, 1916; knowing Brother

place at home and his seat in our
Lodge being made vacant which can
never be filled;
Therefore be it Resolved, That we
as a band of Brothers Joined toward
the cross on which the Savior of
mankind was cruci6ed for the sins of

trusting that they will heed the call
of Christ and prepare to meet their
husband and father who has gone on
before them, where there will be no
more heartaches and partings of
loved ones, and We all may meet as
brothers protected by the most ex-
allied banner known to the Universe.
Resolved further, That copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the

Maine Election

Monday the voters Of Maine
registered their will. Much in
terest and a fine day contributed
to the largest vote ever cast in
the state.
The state had been cultivated
by many of the greatest speak
ers of the day. For two weeks
most of Wilson'S cabinet with
Speaker Clarke and a host of
senators had spoken in every
hamlet. The republicans had
followed suit and closed out with
Hughes Friday and Saturday.
Roosevelt made several speeches.
The national issues were fully
discussed and it was considered
O pointer on the tariff and strike
legislation and the present adj
ministration. The democrats
claimed the state by 5000; the
republicans by $4,000. 1t went
by about l3, for the republi-
cans, electing a governor over
the present democrat. two U. s.
senators. and four congressman,
thus changing the senate and
house by one each. The legisla-
ture is largely republican.
Maine was strong Roosevelt
state, but they all came into line,
which insures the united party
elsewhere, and such being the
case, we see but little induce
ment for us to contribute any
great amount the Commercial
Appeals campaign fund.

West Tenn. Farmers Convention

The annual meet of the Farmers
Institute was at Jackson last week.
There is an institute in each of the
three divisions Of the state. and all
under the management Of the State
Agricultural College at Knoxville.
The meeting was held at the Expert
ment Station one mile from Jackson.
The beautiful auditorium built two
years ago is used for all day meet
ings. 1t Is a permanent structure,
with capacity Of over 5000 seats.
This building was erected at cost
of $4,000 and by the individual dele
gates attending the convention. 1t
is expected that each delegate hav-
ing free transportation will contrib
ute 81. 90 each year and thereby pay
for the building. There is balance
of $500 due, with about $1,000
paid at last meeting. A good many
do not pay, but a record is made OF
all who do, and they alone are recog'
nized as members of the Institute.
The crops on the farm all show up
nicely. The crop of alfalfa was the
one most talked about by visitors
They are giving it test out under all
conditions.
The silage is made of corn and
sorghum grown together very thickly
in the row and cut by harvester and

the two large silos filed. They fat

They have number of Percheron

These mares do most of the farm
work, as well as raise the colts.

tions We're had and routine necessary
to put the Institute on a business
basis.
DR.. McRea, of Union City, was re-
elected president. The term is fixed
at not over two years as president.
Mr.. Nichols was elected secretary.
He is the manager Of the farm.
We were forcefully struck by the
number of ladies present. In fact,
almost if not quite one half the crowd
were women and girls, and they have
their organization in full blast cover
ing the interests of the women as
farmers wives and daughters. Our
county was well represented and
much interested. 1t was estimated
1000 were in attendance. Neither
on the grounds nor in Jackson during
two days we never heard an oath nor
saw man under the influence of
liquor.

BUCK SNORT
Tells how to Choose Your Friends

In choosing friends, bear this in mind:
Look out for them that's overland
And sweet as honey at the start;
The quickest met will soonest part,
While them that's slower in their ways
May be yer friends fer many days.
Ted Waffes, down there by the creek,
Has been there jest about week.
And he slobberin over me,
As sweet and Aatterin as could be-,
Jest like he'd knowed me all his lfe
Said he was cousin to my wife,
missed shote or two, and then
turkey and aguineahen;
| sorter limited this to Ted
He kndo walled his eyes and said:
You gotta watch them niggers Buck,
Or they will tote off all your truck"
Next thing knowed the triAin booger
Instid of coatin me with sugar,
Was tellin round behind my back
How he had shorey seed MY track
A-eadin to his corn-crib door,
Since then he's honeyed me more
Bill Younger lived by me year
Before he ever once come near,
But when our baby lay so low
He'd visit every day or 80.
And come and set up every night
Until the baby all right.
Tode Willis Qook out for ole TodeD
Had tole me everything he knowed
The very first day that met i'm
And loaned me everything I'd let i'm.
One week was nothin but invitin;
We went next week we a-fghtin.
Look out fer them that's quick acquainted:
They're like a pole that's newly painted
They gaum yer hands, their coor's played
The earliest blossoms soonest fade.
Bill Younger is the sort that sticks
Me and others mix.
