FASTENED his steps. discerning in the

Of the Lodge, and he did not wish to

He >slackened his gait as he got
out Of sight Of the Lodge. He yawned
wearily as he turned his face toward
the camp. Another long. eventless
day promised. A partridge whirred
over his head and beyond. He thought
of dinner and raised his fowlingpiece.

with her hands, upon her knees and
rocking to and fro in mortal terror,
was the girl he had seen running
from the Lodge-he recognized her

You are hurt-I fred, not knowing
there was anyone near-Leila!"
In stupefaction he scanned the face
of the girl as her hands were with

She uttered a strangely enigmatical
sentence

those two, so singularly, so tragically
met, stood staring, spellbound.

She answered him with furtive
look. her face crimsoning. His heart
gave a mighty bound, and he asked
calmly, Shall l take you back to the

Never! Oh, Randall, Mr.. Ware. get

The HalI-MOOdy
Steamboat Outing.

Eight hundred. and forty persons
took advantage of the steamboat
outing given last Wednesday by
Hall-Moody institute, going to
Cairo from Hickman. The trip
was an ideal one, especially for
women and children, since the
best of order was guaranteed in
the beginning and the excursion
was personally managed by Mr.,
Robinson. The Martin cornet
band made music during the day
on the boat, and at Cairo the boat
was held up by pirates, who
boarded her with fourteen crates
of bananas and five barrels Of
apples, the gift of Mr., Edward j,
Cotter, a leading business man of
Cairo. A number of Cairo citizens
came aboard the boat and were
introduced to the excursionists by
Hon. T. H, Farmer in a nice little
address, responded to by Mr..
Cotter. Miss Hera Robinson,
daughter oiProi, Robinson, recited
a poem, composed by Hall.Moody
students. The excursionists re-
turned home loud in their praises
of this elegantly managed ex-
cursion andthe treatment accorded
them by the Cairo people.

Teams Go Through
Bridge Into River.

On last Monday two log wagons
and six mules, owned by 4, W.
Grooms, Greenfield, went through
a bridge and into the river at the
Etheridge crossing, between Sha-
ron and Greenfield, both wagons
being heavily laden with bridge
lumber.
The piling supporting the river
bridge on the Etheridge crossing
gave way direbtly over the river,
precipitating teams, drivers,
wagons and lumber into the river
where the depth is estimated ten
or twelve feet, and but for the
presence of mind OF Floyd Ford
and a negro driver the teams
would have drowned. They
managed to rescue the teams with
little damage, except a few
scratches and bruises. Practically
all the lumber was saved, too.
1t was almost a miracle that the
teams and drivers were not killed
or drowned, as both wagons were
heavily loaded with bridge timber,

A Beautiful
Home Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Pennle
Vashti Chandler and Mr.. Dudley
Prichard Swearingen, of Gleason,
was beautifully solemnized last
Wednesday evening at $50 o'clock
at the home Of the bride. Rev.
W. I. Holley, Of Gleason, officiated,
in the presence of a number OF
relatives and friends. The we'd
ding music was rendered by Miss
Anna Shannon. Proceeding the
ceremony she played Flower
Song" after which Miss Carrie
Bell Swearingen, sister of the
groom, sang, Because" and
Carrie Jacob Bonds Il Love You
Truly" The bride and groom
entered to the strains OF Men
delssohn's wedding march, "Hu-
moreske" being played during the
ceremony.
An altar of palms and ferns in
the parlor marked the place Of the
ceremony. And the same plants
combined with roses were used in
decorating the other apartments.
The bride entered with the
groom. She wore a lovely blue
tailored suit with blouse Of silk
radium lace and hat to harmonize.
Her flowers were BRIDES roses.
A reception followed the cere-
mony. Miss Lenora Bras6eld and
Miss Frances Willard Bobbitt
dispensed frappe in the dining
room, where q color note Of pink
and white was featured. A beautl-
full wedding cake, designed by Miss
Laura Phelps, of Nashville, decora-
ted in sweet peas and BRIDES roses
ornamented the center Of the table.
The groom, who is the Youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs, W. G.
Swearingen, is a young man of
sterling qualities, who, for the
past six years, has been making
Gleason his home. During his
residence there Mr.. Swearingen
has been connected with the dry
goods business,
Miss Chandler is the talented
and attractive daughter of Mr.. G.
P. Chandler, possessing many
rare traits. Her many friends
here will regret her leaving.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swearingen will
make Gleason their home. The
popularity Of Mr.; Swearingen and
his bride was attested by the large
collection of gifts they received.

BERRY SEASON|SA
CLOSED INCIDENT
1872 Carloads Sent out From WGaNey County.
Prices Low, But Biggest Crop Ever
Grown in This County.

The 1916 strawberry season will
90 down in history as yielding the
biggest crop ever grown here, &C.
cording to expert growers.
During the season just closed
total Of carloads have been ship
ped from Weakley county, as fol-
lows:
Sharon, 105 carloads.
Greenfield, 81 carloads,
Dresden, Is carloads.
Gleason, 5 carloads.
Besides these car lot shipments
many crates have gone out from
these towns by express, and it is
probably safe to say these ship
ments will total three carloads.
Many things have worked
against the growers this time. In
the first place, express cars were
not available, forcing freight ship
ments, those going by freight
bringing from 20 cents to so cents
less per crate than those by re-
frigerator express. Another thing
working against the growers was
the scarcity of hands, and another
was the shortage of crates. Thous-
ands of crates of berries rotted in
the fields because of a shortage of
both hands to pick and crates to
pack them in. But withal, the
crop was a paving one, and a vast
sum of money has been put into
circulation.
The leaders and sellers for the
several county associations deserve
a vote of thanks from the growers
for the splendid manner in which
they handled the crop. These
gentlemen have worked untiring-
Iy, late at night and all day, often
without taking time to eat. Some
Of them have remained up until
past midnight overseeing the prop
er loading of the cars.
Next year Dresden will make an
effort to induce this road furnish
the refrigerator express for the
local growers.

Much Hog Cholera
Prevalent in County

Just at this time, hog cholera is
prevalent in nearly every section
of our county, and many farmers
are losing their hogs from this
disease. Hog cholera is a very
highly contagious and deadly dis
ease, and yet, at the same time,
is one of the easiest diseases of
swine to prevent. There is no
cure for cholera, and so far as
science has been able to discover,
only one reliable and sure way OF
combating it, and that is by pre-
venting it, which is done by the
use Of anti-hog cholera serum, sold
by Hoyt N. Hardeman, at Martin.
Hog cholera is an acute, sub.
acute, or chronic contagious dis
ease of swine caused by flterable
virus, the specific germ of which
has never yet been solated, seen
or described by any laboratory or
field worker. 1t is characterized
by extreme contagiousness and a
high death rate, and does not af-
feet or attack any animal except
the hog. Hog cholera is really
and truly the only contagious dis
ease causing any appreciable loss
of swine in the Southern states at
this time.
Symptoms: Since cholera oc.
ours in three different forms
acute, sub'acute and chronic-the
nature and character of the symp-
toms naturally vary to a very de-
cided degree, even in individual
animals belonging to the same
herd. The symptoms of cholera
may be summarized as follows:
l. Failure to come up for feed or
refusal to eat.
2. Huddling together in pens or
nests.
8. Cough.
4. Stiffness, indicated by stagger-
ing gait.
5, Discharge from eyes and stick
ing together of eyelids,
6. Redness of skin, especially no.
ticable in white hogs.
7. Rise of temperature.
8. Constipation, alternated by pro-
fuse diarrhoea.
The West Tennessee Serum Co.,
located at Martin, has an adver-
tisement in this weeks issue it
would be well for you to read, and
if you are interested in this work,
write them for one of their free
booklets bearing on this disease
and its prevention by the use Of
serum. 1t is d booklet we'll worth
reading.
