The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-10-06
Additional Local And Personal.

With seed at S4S per ton and cotton
well above the sixteen cent mark this
week, farmers who have the staple for
sale are feeling good over it. One
bale sold in this city at "a cents this
week and brought the grower 1929 for
the lint, and the seed at market price
would run this bale and the seed to
$l60, more than five bales of middling
cotton would have sold for two years
ago.
The Falcon has blooming on a desk in
its Office colchicum now in full bloom.
Nothing so astounding about this, but
listen, the bulb was placed there ten
days ago, with no earth, no water,
nothing which is usually regarded as
necessary to make bulbs grow. 1t is
simply placed on the desk and is
blooming without earth or water, and
it Is said when 1t ceases its present
blooming career it can be placed in the
son to remain until next summer, and
taken out then it will repeat the
blooming process next fall without
earth or water. This is where the Pc
culiar part comes in.
The county examination for county
superintendent certificate in this city
closed yesterday after continueing
since Monday with F. B. Norman, ].
D. Mosbt and S. A. Wetzler in charge.
Prof. ]. B. Summers was the only one
who offered for the examination and it
is concluded that rumors which have
been persistent for a week or more
that Prof.SW R. Seay had withdrawn
from the race for superintendent were
correct. This leaves the race for the
Office between J. B. Summers and W.
T. Loggins, the latter already having a
certificate of qualification.

Senator Nelson of the State Highway
commission was in Somerville last
Tuesday in an effort to get some ar
engagements made for spending the
automobile tax of about one thousand
dollars which the state treasury has to
the credit of Fayette county for high
way construction. Adelegation of eigh b
district citizens were here and had a
conference with Mr.. Nelson, but it is
understood did not come to any def
Mite agreement with him. He spoke
to the county court but it was late and
only about one third of the members of
the court were present when he made
his talk. He seems anxious, on the
part of the highway commission, to get
some plan fixed by which the thousand
dollars can be spent in this county, but
no citizen or group of citizens has yet
been found who are willing to take the
responsibility imposed by the contract
which the commission is submitting.
