Weakley County
In the Procession

In all parts Of Weakleystcounty
the signs Of progression and up
building are shown more clearly
this spring than ever in her his
tory. A drive through the country
will thoroughly convince one Of
the correctness of this statement.
On every hand can be seen signs
of improvement in the beautifying
of the homes by the setting OF
shade trees, the whitewashing OF
fences and trees, the planting OF
flowers and ornamental shrubs in
the yards, the pruning and spray
ing of the orchards, the we'll pre-
pared gardens, the painting OF
buildings, the remodeling of old
homes and in many cases the
building of new ones, and, in fact,
making the farms and homes
more attractive in every way. And
in looking over the farms we notice
that many unsightly places
thickets, ditch banks, fence rows
and dead trees-are being cleared
away, the old fences being re-
placed by neatly lined and con-
structed new fences, the unslghtly
washed and quilted places that
once could be seen on many farms
have been either carpeted with
brush or planted in honeysuckle to
beautyify and make these places
profitable. The laying of more
stress on poultry raising, home
gardens, dairying and hog raising
has enabled our farmers to seed
down a large acreage to clover and
grass and even the fields that were
occupied with cultivated crops last
wear are now covered with green
crimson clover or rye and oats,
which, BESIDES, having protected
the soil during the winter, are
furnishing early spring grazing
for the cattle. Such improvements
on one farm alone attracts great
attention, but when we consider
that these Improvements are go
ing on on farms too numerous to
mention the effect of this great
move can hardly be overestimated
and helps to place our county in
the foremost ranks Of the counties
in the state.

Bitten on Cheek
By a Mad Man.

On last Friday, in Dresden, Mr.,
Genon Gatewood, of the vicinity
Of Jewell, was bitten on the cheek
by his nephew, Hazie Raffety, who
was being carried from here to the
hospital at Bolivar. The deranged
youth made as if he desired to
kiss his uncle, who was accompa-
nying him to the hospital, but in
stead fastened his teeth in Gate
woods left cheek, all but biting a
plug out. DR.. Fields dressed the
wound and apprehends no serious
results.
Young Raffety was brought here
in Press Bowlin's car and carried
from here to the asylum by Deputy
Tom Carney. When the care drove
up in front of the Weakley County
Bank and all alighted, the young
man appeared nervous and made
as if to kiss his uncle, but bit him
on the felt cheek. The boy, who
is some twenty.odd years of age,
seems to be disturbed over the
scripture, which he reads a great
deal which he reads a great
and which be quotes much.
He is an incessant cigarette smok-
er, so one of his friends informed
us, but otherwise has never had
any bad habits, Several years
ago be was sent to the hospital
for treatment, but got all right
and returned home, making a
crop last year with a neighbor,
who says he never saw a more
industrious, better young man.

How to Catch Trout
BY MORRIS AckERMAN.

There are many kinds OF trout,
all OF the salmon family. The brook
trout (tontinalis. or speckled trout
rainbow. brown, steelhead and lake.
The brook trout is the most plen-
tiful and the better distributed and
is found in the waters OF Canada, as
we'll as most of our mountain
streams from Maine TO California
and south 10 the mountains of north
Georgia
The trout spawns In the fall, for
which reason the law usually is
closed on him while open on others
The usual catch averages three
quarters of a pound. though in some
states and parts OF Canada II is not
unusual 10 catch them from four to
six pounds,
The trout will take about the
same kinds OF food az the black
bass. In the early spring after the
ice has passed away the best bait
known IL the common angleworm,
but minnows, small frogs, grubs,
mill reaches, crickets and various
and sundry artificial lures are all
alike to him.
II is with the fly and the fly rod
however, that trout fishing is rated
as high AS II is.
The trout demands and must have
clear, cold water, with clean bottom
and rapid current. For the smaller
streams use lighter and shorter rods
and lighter lines except where you
are exposed to the wind.
Use good enameled tapered line
if possible, especially where the
casts are long and the wind strong
A single gut. six-foot leader, is also
necessary II is well TO have a fair
proportion Of flies on hand.
Watch the hatch Of the insects

same fy or as near 10 IL as you
have IN your book
