NJ c. & St. L. Ry. Buys Farm
Land Near Somerville for
Demonstration Farm.

The Falcon has what is regarded as
reliable information, tho not official,
that deal has been closed by which
the N. c. & St. l. Ry. becomes the
owners of 160 acres of farm land be-
tween Somerville and Warren which it
will use as demonstration farm, such
as 1t already operates at Tullahoma,
Paris, Dickson and other points on its
lines.
The land was purchased from the
Jones heirs and lies just west on Jones
creek which forms the boundary line
between the first and eighth districts.
1t is we'll situated for which 1t is to be
used and is typical Fsyette county up
land. We have not been able to get the
plans of the railway company but at
the other places where such farms are
operated the work is done along lines
of experimental work and development
of better methods and the raising Of
better thorobred livestock. At the re-
cent sale in Memphis the company spent
about $1,000 for registered shorthoru
cattle for use on the Paris farm. There
will no doubt be herd of thorobreds
placed on the Somerville farm also.
This purchase means great deal for
Fayette county. 1t will place among
us an experimental farm of the very
highest type. conducted along lines to
develop and bring out the very best
that can be done for Favette county
lands. The immense resources of the
road will be back of the work and far
mers can see what is being done anC
how IL is done.

County Fair Assured for this
Fall.

A we'll attended meeting was held at
the court house Tuesday afternoon of
those interested in holding a county
fair in this city during the coming fall.
Plans were discussed and agreements
made as to certain general ideas that
will guarantee bigger and better fair
than the one which was such a credit
to the county last year. A resolution
was adopted accepting an offer of CO.
operation from the Trottiug Assccia-
tion and providing that the fair and trot-
ting races be held on the same days, two
days during the fall, the fair to be held
on the public square as it was last year
and the trotting races to be held in the
afternoon of each of che two days at
the race tract east of the city. 1t was
thought by those present that a COM
bined meet of the two association shows
will bring better crowds to both and
that hours Of the day being set apart
for each, neither will interfere with the
other.> The fair will be free as it was
last year, both entry of exhibits and
admissions, while the Trotting Associa-
ton will charge small admission to
the races each afternoon.
The following board Of directors YVES
elected to arrange the details Of the
meetings and manage the exhibit: E.
A. Maddox, A. S. Thompson, DR.. G. T.
Brinkley, A, H. Harvey, J. A. McNabb,

B. Burnett, DR.. ]. E. Parks, c. &.
Williams, W. T. Loggins, W. S. Latta,
]. W. Moffatt, being one from each
district and four from the county at
large.
The directors were called to meet in
this city at II a. m. Wednesday, March
Is, for the purpose of electing officers
and appointing committees to look
after the several lines of exhibits,
plans, etc. 1t is hoped that every man
named as a director will make particu-
lar effort to be present at that date tc
lend every assistance to furthering the
coming fair,

To hear one everlastingly complain
and growl proceeding from what is
aptly called a Chronic kicker" to
have every agreeable thought chased
away by this evil spirit of disputa-
tiousness, is more than flesh and
blood can stand. This would be a bet
ter world if the people who lose their
tempers would never find them again.
How can man say that woman
has nothing to do? In one year she
gets dinner sos times, washes the
dishes 1895 times, get the children
ready for school twice day for $50
days, puts the baby to sleep 1,46O
times, makes about 800 calls; as she
wishes for something she hasn't every
minute, she wishes sixty things an
hour or 525,600 things in year. Who
says that awoman has nothing to do ?
