LEXINGTON. TENNESSEE FRIDAY JULY Is, 1910
A GOOD TRIP TO
UNION RALLY

In company with Congressman
I. W. Sims and J. A. Pope, the
Master Mechanic of Lexington
and The PROGRESS man, on last Fri
day made a trip via SCOTS Hill to
Dunivant School house, Decatur
county, between five and six miles
from SCOTS Hill and west Of the
SCOTS Hill and Decaturville road.
The occasion at Dunivant School
house was a farmers union meet
ing and speaking Of legislative and
Decatur county candidates. The
location of this school house is a
beautiful one and the particular oc-
casion referred to was honored by
a large crowd Of representative
people, several of whom happened
to hail from the good county Of
Henderson. One Of the good din
ners for which the hotel of Uncle
Till' White and wife is famous, was
enjoyed at SCOTS Hill and at that,
point our party was joined by Mr..
j. A. McClanahan, who accompan-
led us in our Studebaker Six to the
Duniyant School house. When the
grounds were reached, Mr.. Wood
ward Bartholomew, the well-known
Farmers Union lecturer, was ad-
dressing the crowd. Mr. Sims did
not 90 with the view of making a
speech, but insistance was made
that he do so and he was
given q very neat introduction
tion by Mr.. Bartholomew Congress-
man Sims did not make a political
talk, but confined his remarks to
subjects Of interest to farmers, such
as the rural delivery Of mail, good
roads and the Rural Credits Act,
the latter Of which had just been
signed and made a law by the presi-
dent of the United States. Mr..
Sims did thank the people for the
confidence shown in him in the
past and stated that he did not ask
the vote Of any man who did not
think that he continued to deserve
that confidence. The clouds being
threatening, the stay at Dunivant
School house was shorter than was
expected, but we felt encouraged to
believe that the trip was a profit
able one to the candidacy of Mr..
Sims, as he met there none but out
spoken friends in the Democrats
present. Thanks to the skill of Mr..
Pope in manipulating the the Stude-
baker Four, the trip, covering in all
about 40 miles, was made without
a bobble, inspite of the horrible
roads traversed.

cusations and childish charges made

then forwarded to the federal land
bank and must be investigated and
reported on by a salaried appraiser

ed This appraiser is required to
investigate the solvency and char
acter Of the prospective borrower,
as well as the value Of his land.
