SENATOR WILSON BEREAvED,
Wife Passes Away Of Cancer After Lin
gering Illness; Buried in Grassy
Cove.

Friday morning at 2 O'Clock Mrs.
Wilson, wife of Senator I. E. Wilson,
passed away at the age OF 81 years
after an illness of year and half
with cancer.
The remains were inferred in Grassy
Cove Saturday about noon attended py
large concourse of relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Wilson had been long and pa
tisnt sufferer and when at iaat ths
death angel bore away her kindly spirit
it was an act OF mercy for she had
suffered greatly for eighteen months
with the dread disease of cancer from
which she had no hope of recovery.
She was married to Senator Wilson
in 1883 and to their union several child
rem had been born. all of whom are now
grown and some are settled in homes
OF their own.
A telegram was sent Senator Wilson
from Nashville Friday, signed by the
senate committee stating that out of
respect to him the senate would stand
adjourned from Friday noon until Mon
day morning.

teen miles of road remains to be COM
pleted to connect up with the Dixie
Highway, at lockwood. About five
or six miles remains to be completed
on the west end of the Memphis-to-
Bristol highway so autos can go to
Nashville via Sparta. That work will
be taken up later and pushed to COM
pletion.
For some time there was much CON-
plant at the slow progress being made
by the Highway Commission in road
building but since the people are get

are coming through the careful man.
agement of the commission. many ex-
pressions of praise are being heard
where it was complaints before. The
integrity and honesty of purpose of the
commissioners have never been ques-
toned and the wisdom OF their course
in moving slowly and with caution is
now becoming more strongly apparent
daily and as result the temper of the
public is rapidly changing to one of
praise.

serious accident of having his left leg
broken near the ankle, both bones be-
ing broken. He was brought to town

OLD CITIZEN GONE
John Hodge Dies Near Westel and Re-
mains inferred by Masons.

John Hodge, aged 81, died at his
home near Westel. Wednesday at z
O'Clock p. m. and the remains were
laid to rest near Westel Friday morn-
ing with Masonic honors.
The deceased was born Feb. "a, 1885,
and died July ~, 1916, which would
make him a little over 81 years of age.
His wife had proceeded him to the
grave and all of his children are in
homes of their own. He was justice OF
the peace from the old tenth district
for several years and was universally
recognized as man of high character.
a good citizen and was held in high
esteem by all his neighbors. A short
time previous to his death he went to
the Soldiers Home, Johnson City, and
when he was stricken with his last
sickness, which was manly failure due
to age, his son brought him home after
it became evident that he had only a
short time TO live.
The deceased was member of Cross
vile Masonic lodge and dearly loved
the principles of that order ana con-
formes his life very closely to It's
teachings. The writer had been per-
sonally acquainted with him tor sever
al wears and we know of no higher
compliment that could be paid him than
to say he loved Masonry in all ITS sim
pllcity and purity. He had repeatedly
expressed the wish that when he died
the Masonic fraternity should convey
his remains to their last resting place.

WHAT 4 CALF COSTS
Shown by Experiments in Several Sec
tons Of the Country.

Experiments have been carried on
IN the corn belt, Pennsylvania, and In
Alabama, to determine what 1t costs
to raise calf to weanlng time.
Every possible charge was made
against the cattle, including not only
all feed bat also labor, equipment.
taxes, risk, depreciation, veterinary
fees and interest at SIX per cent on the
investment, and against each calf was
charged not only the net cost of keep
ing the COW but also the cost of the
bull per calf. The final results are all
in favor of the south.
AVERAGE COST.
The average cost per hundred pounds
of RAISING a calf to weaving time was
So. 10 in the corn belt and $7.22 in
Pennsylvania, as compared with So. So
in North Alabama and $3.57 in West
Alabama.
The average cost per hundred pounds
of raising a calf to twelve to fifteen
L4OUGHS Olu was p1l. ~ III tliC WI II oSio
and $7.24 in Pennsylvania, as COM
pared with $4.41 in North Alabama
and $4. 81 in West Alaabma. The fig
ures for the corn belt, Pennsylvania
and North Alabama are based on rails
ing calf to the age of twelve months
and those for West Alabama to the age
of fifteen months.
Considering the low price of land,
the free range and the splendid crops
that can be produced here along with
the ease of cultivation, it is very prob
able that cattle can be raised right
here in Cumberland rounty for even
less money than the experiments show
to be the lowest in Alabama. Certain
Iy Alabama cannot produce beet cheap
er than this section and when 1t is re-
membered that no where IN the south,
west or any other part Of the country
can land of equal quality be secured
for so low price as here. 1t becomes
clear that this is one of the most ia
vored sections of the United States for
the cattle raiser.

DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED
Clifford Cakes Accidentally Shoots Him
self While Hunting, Sunday

Clifford Oakes aged 10, shot himself
in the left thigh and side while out
hun,ing Sunday. Will Dyal was with
him and went for help to get the
wounded boy home.
1t seems the Oakes boy was visiting
his brother-in-law, Major Swatford, at
Otter Creek, some fifteen miles north
of Crossville, and had gone hunting
with double barrelled shot gun loaded
with No. 4 shot. In attempting to
shoot a sduirrel or while moving around
seeking position from which to shoot,
the gun slipped from his hand and was
discharged. The shot split his thigh
in front, four inches and then entered
his left side passing out making ugly
hole. When the gun fired Oakes called
to the Dyal boy that he was shot.
When Dyal got there the Cakes boy
was trying to put out his clothing,
which had caught on fire. After ex-
tinguIshing the fire the Dyal boy went
for help and the boy was brought to
the home of his brotherln-law.
The boy was brought to town Mon
day and the wound was dressed by Dr.
W. A. Reed. So far as the doctor was
able to determine, none of the shot en-
tered the abdomen. Unless unexpect-
ed comp Ications arise the boy will very
likely recover.
This is the second time the Oakes
boy has met with an accident by shoot
in9. Some years ago he shot his left
arm so badly that it had to be ampu-
tated above the elbow, which in part
accounts for the accident this time as
he mad only one hand with which to
handle the gun.
