had rooted them around after rain I've noticed, though they always put these in the big pile and put my butter and eggs in a separate yes sel. Now why do they do that if they say lone pound of butter and one dozen of eggs are just the same as another on the market"
 So is it to be wondered at that 1 have been forced to conclude there's nothing to the "clean attractive" business? If there was, surely some of it would have materialized in over 28 years.
 And, too, they say cooperate with your merchants and work up parcel post trade with him.

 single answer.
 So as l failed to get parcel post customer in Conway, friend got me one in Argenta, and they were we'll pleased with my butter, but the second week l was unable to take it to the box so sent it by a school boy who failed to raise the flag. A friend told me the carrier looked at it and crammed mail over and around it and left it. Next day I went down and placed 1t in his hands but it was missent, so she didn't get it till Saturday afternoon, and that lost me that customer as she wanted it Saturday morning. Then I got a customer there for eggs, six dozen per week 1 sent them in bought "ap-co shipsafe corregated box and fillers," but the carrier would not de- liver the box and she had to go after them, and after the first time, nearly half of the six dozen every week were broken, when she received them, so l had to give up that GUS toner also. Yet with all these and many more disappointments, I still have faint hopes of getting a way to dispose of my produce for something near its worth some day.

DEMOCRATS HERE FOR
COUNTY CONVENTION
TODAY; TO INSTRUCT
Considered Probable That Meet
ing Will Be Harmonious
In Every Way
POW-WOW WILL BE CALLED
TO ORDER BY THE CHAIRMAN
Only Business Of Importance Is
Naming Delegates-Walsh
For Commissioner

Henry county Democrats will
meet at the courthouse this
afternoon at l o'clock for the
purpose of electing and instruct
ing delegates to the state con-
vention, which will be held at
Nashville May II. Every indi-
cation points to a harmonious
meeting.
The convention will be called
to order by T. B. Gardner,
chairman of the county commit
tee. after which a chairman and
secretary will be elected. The
only other business to come be-
fore the meeting will be the
election and instruction of dele
gates, which will probably be
done by resolution.
While Rye has considerable
opposition in the county, it is not
likely that any effort will be
made to prevent instructions for
him, as it is generally believed
that he will have no opponent
for the nomination.
Friends of Thos. J. Walsh, of
Humboldt, candidate for railroad
commissioner, have been insist
ing that Henry county instruct
for him, and some of the politi-
clans who keep posted on local
conditions believe that he will
get Henry county. There is
some sentiment for an uninstuct-
ed delegation, however. and for
this reason it is possible that
Mr.. Walsh will not get the in
structions.
Following the recommendation
of the county committee, the
convention will probably instruct
for J. W. Lewis for a member of
the state convention platform
committee, although it is very
improbable that any instructions
for members of the state COM
mittee or delegates to the nation
al convention will be given.

BARR SAYS
MURDERED
WITH CLUB
Negro Tells Jury That
Loves Were Not Con-
nected With Killing Of
Josie Pryor---Claims
Woman Cut AT Him

"She cut me with a knife, then
| hit her with a plank. | hit her
two or three times. | don't know
just how many, and knocked her
down." said Tom Barr, charged
with the murder of Josie Pryor,
while on the stand Friday morn
ing in circuit court.
According to Barr, he killed
the negress on the hill near Sam
Loves stable, and later carried
her down the hill and buried her
by the stable. He said he was
scared and nervous and did not
dig the grave deep. 1T was dark
and | just put her in and covered
her up the best | could" he de-
clared.
In reply to questions by G. L.
Fryer, attorney for the defense,
Barr said that he had buried one
of Sam Loves pigs that died
three or four days before he
killed the woman, near the place
where he hurled her
He said he did not see the pig
when he buried the woman, but
that it might have gotten into
the grave.
Barr claimed that he told no
one about killing the negress;
that Jim and Sam Love had
nothing to do with the killing or
burying and that he cleaned Sam
Loves stable out on Monday,
after killing her on Saturday
night, and threw the refuse over
the grave in order to cover the
fresh earth.
While being cross examined by
J. w. Lewis, Barr stated that he
has no recollection of having
hanged himself, except that
there was a ridge on his neck
the following morning, and that
if he made any written confession
he did not remember it.
The written confession alleged
to have been made by Barr before
hanging himself on the day the
woman's body was found was
introduced by the State. Wher
it was shown to the defendant
he said that the handwriting
looked like his own, but that hi
had no recollection of having
written same.
Before Barr took the stand jim
and Sam Love testified in theil
own defense. Each claimed tina
he had no connection with tn,
crime or the burying of the body
Jim Love claimed that he lief
his place of business on tn
night of the murder to go tn
bedside of a sick woman an,
that Barr accompanied him
Following Barr on the stand
