Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-08-24

Mrs. Erin Nowlin and family,
who went to Oklahoma several
months ago for the benefit of Mrs.
Nowlin's health, returned home
last week. Mrs. Nowlin's health
is improved some. David, her
son, who is in the banking busi-
ness in Oklahoma, came home with
them and is having some repairing
done on their home. He will re-
turn to his Oklahoma home as soon
as this is done.
Maurice White, who is in charge
of the GAINESVILLE, Texas, schools,
and an old Mckenzie boy, spent
Monday in Mckenzie looking after
his interests here and shaking
hands with old friends. Mr.. White
came by and spent several days
with his brother, Tom White, who
is.in charge of a corps OF civil engi-
neers at Winona, Miss, in leVee
work, and reports Tom to be doing
we'll. Maurice has gone to spend
a few days with Charley White

Bob Chanler, son Of R. H.
Chanler, a groceryman of this place
for the last thirty years, is the latest
addition to the aviation corps of
the army. He left for St. Louis
this week for examination. The
Others in this department are
Charlie Wrinkle and Ralph
Fletcher from Mckenzie. This
town has furnished several volun-
teers and three young men to try
for commissions. They are Ed
ward Everett, Kent Morrison, and
Jesse j. BraWner.
Crops around Mckenzie are re-
ported the best ever known. Taking
into consideration the fact that the
average is so very much larger
than in former years and the price
that every thing is going to bring
this fall times, are sure to be good.
Our local cotton men predict that
cotton will start off at at least TO-
cents in the seed. 1t is predicted
that nearly every family is helping
to win the war by putting away
a double amount of food stuff and
more especially all kinds of
canned goods. One man told us
the other day that he had over 600
cans of fruit in his cellar.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Morrison,
of Mckenzie, are sending three
sons to the war, Dale, Ray and
Kent Morrison. Kent and Dale
have entered the training camp at
TT. Oglethorpe, and Ray is going
in the interest of the 7. NJ. G. A.
All of these boys are we'll equipped
for war or anything else. They are
educated, graduates of McTyeire,
also Vanderbilt; not only this, but
all have reps as athletes. If the
Morrisons don't bring home a
bunch of German seal lips we will
send over three more Morrisons,
full brothers to the above men
and if the war don't end,
we are going to look at this as be- |
ing a serious proposition.
