THOUGHTS OF NEW FATHER.

He arrived although had been wishing for a

Waiting for that thrill they say comes to Parent.
1t did not come. In place great ambition.
An ambition for him. eleven hours old. grow into
something worthy
Something more than worth while.
And, suhcohsconsly, weighing matters Of
education.
And choosing his companions and swearing to the
gods
That his environment would have tendency to
shape high ideals.
And soon was telling him of all this in a low tone.
But nc made wry faces and slept--stl talked.
When. suddenly. thought pierced my inner brain.
What OF myself?
How often had it been told me that my parents
Did the self-samc thing, And held me in high

But II drifted in the path of least resistance
And caused them pain and and worry.
The offspring never thinks So perhaps after ALL
I'd best leave mine in the lap of fate.

WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS TO-
CETHER.

We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade;
Since first beneath the chestnut trees
In infancy played
But codness dwells within thy heart
A cloud is on thy brow:
We have been friends together
Shall light word part us now
We have been gay together:
We have laugh'd at little tests;
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts
But laughter now hath fled thy lip
And suen gloonis they brow;
We have been gay together
Shall Il light word part us now
We have been sad together
We have wept with bitter tears
Ger the grass grown graves where slnmher'd
The hopes Of early years.
The voices which silent there
Would bid thee clear thy brow:
We have been sad together
o. what shall part us now?

Before Taft's Plan.

The plan apparently antedates the
proposal advocated for former Prcsi-
Wilson. Lord Bryce SAYS:
The entrance of the United states
into the war makes it desirable that
the efforts of the American League to
Enforce Peace should be responded to
by expression of public opinion here.
I therefore venture to lay before YOU
a scheme almost identical with that of
the American league. 1t was prepared
by a group of men nero two years

Scheme Is Tentative.

1.-THE scheme is of course tentative,
but taken with the American scheme,
it may help to draw public opinion to
this important subject. obviously no
practical steps can be taken until aft
er the war, but the idea is one which
the public may well begin to consider.
1t has received the approval of the
present and late premiers and for

Goes Step Further.

The Bryce plan As outlined follows
closely the lines of the American pro-
posal, but goes a step further in the
direction of common enforcement of

Gil would be advisory only and not

THIS EXAMPLE

The farmers Of Decaturville and
vicinity have formed a local organ
ization to be known as The Deca-
turville Farmers Association. One
meeting has been held in the court
house and short takes made by va
rious farmeas in attendance. Reg
ular monthly meetings will be held
and an executive committee has
been appointed to arrange programs
for these meetings. Definite farm
problems will be discussed, inclu-
ding the more profitable marketing
of products, the Improvement of
seeds, the betterment of livestock
and the rotation of crops. The far
mers Of Lexington and vicinity
should lose no time in forming a
similar association.

OLUME XXXlII
OLD BOOZE GETS
HARD BLOW In
u. S. COURT.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States on last Monday made known
the decision upholding the consti-
tutionality of the Webb-Kenyon
Law which has finally made it pos
sible for dry states to pass laws to
prevent the importation of intoxi-
eating liquors. If Tennessee has no
such law now, one can soon be
passed under which Kentucky can
no longer ship liquor into this state.
When the Webb-Kenyon bill was
before the United States Senate, its
most ardent advocate was the Hon.
Newell Sanders, who was then a
Senator appointed by Governor
Hooper, but is now business man
In Chattanooga. Mr.. Sanders is
said to deserve most credit for the
passage Of the law in the Senate.
All honor to the Supreme court Of
the United States In its decision.

Great Work is
Marketing Service

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway is doing a great work
in advertising a marketing service
it has established. A glance at the
list Of livestock and farm products
enumerated in the advertisement
used last week, for the benefit Of
both sellers and buyers, will Give
the reader an idea Of the magni-
tude Of the undertaking of the rail-
road and its agent, Mr.. L. P. Bellah
in attempting to bring into COM
munication buyers and sellers with
no middleman between. If you
have not read the advertisement re.
ferred to, do so yet and if you have
any Of the stock or products enum-
Grated, either to sell or to buy, give
the service offered by the railroad
trial. The best re commentator
that President Peyton brought witt
him to the NC was his reputation
for being a crank" about agricul
ture, and we are sure that Mr.. Bel
lah is an enthusiast in the splendit
work he has undertaken. We hope
for great results from this railroad
marketing service.

Vote on New
Railroad Bonds

Jackson, Tenn, Jan. 5.-A petit
ton to the board of commissioners
of the City Of Jackson asking that
an election be held to authorize the
issuance of 100000 bonds for the
purpose Of buying an equal amount
of stock in the Gulf, Mobile & North
ern Railway, was presented today
by w. F. Owen, president of the
road, and W. F. Rich, general coun-
sci, both of whom were here in their
private car.
The Gulf, Mobile & Northern Rail-
way proposes to extend its tracks
from Middleton, 40 miles south Of
Jackson, to this city and to estab-
lish a terminal here. Mr.. Owen
stated that if the proposition is ac-
cepted by the citizens OF jackson
the construction work will be start
ed at once and that the freight and
passenger station would be estab-
lished at a central point in the city.
About five years ago a similar
bond issue election in the favor Of
the N. 0. M. & G. Railway, of which
the G., M. & N. is the successor, was
carried by a vote Of five to one.
Adverse conditions prevented the
construction of the road at that
time and the election which will be
called within a few days will be
merely in the nature Of a reaffirma-
ton. The entrance Of the g., M. &
N. will give Jackson five separate
lines and increase the Importance OF
this city as a railroad center.

to Chattanooga. a distance of Isl
miles: and also from Nashville to
Hickman, KY. a distance of III
miles. These lines were built by
the compaDy,the Nashville Hickman
