BANK rs ORGANIZING
BOYS pig CLUB"

The Hickman Bank & Trust
Co. is undertaking a very worthy
and commendable proposition
this week-that of organizing
and financing Pig Club" for
the boys of the western half of
Fulton county.
Every boy can now own a nice
thoroughbred Duroc gilt, provid-
ed the bank can secure enough OF
them to go around. Pigs are
not only high, but scarce at
present. This is a fine oppor-
tunity for boys to secure pig
and start thoroughbred herd,
and mcidently make money. The
County Farm Agent, Mr.. Cor
don, also proposes to help the
boys along in the hog business
by telling them the best ways
and means of handling their pigs.
While the pig club is new in
this immediate section, it is by
no means an experiment; in
other places it has proven very
successful. The purpose of the
plan is obvious to all grown-ups.
Banks inaugurating this scheme
have found that it not only rais-
es the standard of live stock and
increases the county's wealth,
but increases deposits and makes
new customers, and is money
well spent. Pigs and calf clubs
are steppmg-stone in the train
ing of boys for business farmers,
and Fulton county needs them III
both ends-and the middle.
The Hickman Bank & Trust
Co. is to be congratulated on the
step it is taking. 1t is doing its
II Bit toward the betterment Of
town and county.
For full particulars, see big
ad elsewhere In this issue.

The public attention Is being
gradually centered upon the COM
ing primary. Many other events
of greater magnitude have in a
manner oyer-shadowed the pres
ent campaign for county offices
and the candidates themselves
have moved in rather a half
hearted, feeble effort in press
ing their claims. The remaining
six weeks of the campaign, how
ever, will be fraught with more
vim and vigor, especially among
the candidates for Sheriff and
County Court Clerk. Jailer and
Assessor candidates will also do
considerable button -holing and
whispering of personal messages
to, the dear voter as the lines
tighten, and those who seek the
office of County Attorney viii
be right along with them Judge
Elvis j. Starh, county judge, and
Miss Virginia Luten, county
school superintendent, are un-
opposed for reelection. As a
whole, thus far, the campaign in
Fulton has been only luke-warm.

HICKMAN KENTUCKY. THURSDAY.
MUST MAKE AFFIDAVIT
BEFORE RECEIVING LIQUOR.

X. nj. Isler, local agent for
Southern Express Co., shows US
a form of blank supplied by his
company, which requires that es-
cry person receiving Intoxicating
liquor from his office must make
a sworn statement before a no
tary public that the liquor IS for
the consignee's own personal
use and that he does not hold a
federal license permitting him
to sell liquor. No jugs viii be
delivered until the owners have
filled out this blank and made
oath to it before a notary a
false statement is perjury and
conviction carries a penitentiary
sentence.
Day by day the path from the
still house to the home becomes
rougher. The above require
ments not only make liquor cost
more, but puts the consumer to
more trouble. In a few more
weeks, according to the trend of
affairs at Washington, common,
old bust-head whiskey will be
costing around $40 a gallon. Is
it worth il, boysY

CONTRACTS OFFERED FOR

We are reliably informed that
a Hickman ginner has offered to
contract TO buy Yes Kelley S
cotton crop at 15c a pound In

No such price was ever paid
or offered in Hickman. This is
more than 33 13 per cent over

speaking, this is equivalent to
4oc lint cotton, and Judging from
the upward swing of cotton dur
