G. C. Bazell, who is in the
training camp at Fort Leon
Springs, evidently agrees with
Sherman's opinion of war. He
writes that he has to get out of

now has had occular proof that
the sun rises in the east.

The Winslow schools opened
Monday with a corps of hand
some and charming young lady
teachers fully up to the high
standard of former years, due to
the very close discriminating
judgment of Supt. Cornelius.
We regret these remarks cannot
be truthfully applied to the male
members of the faculty.
There are a number of young
lads in this town who are making
practice of prowling around at
night committing little acts of
of petty larceny in carrying away
garden tools. lawn hose, and

for the reform school unless they
take the matter in hand and keep
their boys home at night, instead
Of letting them racing the streets.

HARDEMAN OBJECTS
Change in COMPRESSION Districts
Meets DisfayOr

All talk about the switching of
Hardeman county from the Tenth
to the Eighth district has been
silenced BY the announcement from
Monroe Webb, representative from
Hardeman, that he will not agree
to such a change. Senator Stock
ard, of that district, agrees with
Representative Webb. For a while
last fall, after the Republican can
didate for congress in the Eighth
ran Sims so close, there was talk
of switching both Hardeman and
Fayette from the Tenth to the
Eighth. The Tenth now has 227,-
900; the Eighth has 10000, while
210, 900 is the ratio. The transfer
of these two counties would be in
the interest of equality. How
ever, nothing will be done by the
Legislature. Mr.. Webb says Har-
deman county is perfectly satisfied
to be in a district with Shelby.
We do not suppose this question
has been very seriously considered
by those interested in either dis
trict, although there is some rea-
son in making a change>other than
its political effect. The ratio of
the districts should be more nearly
the same.

Seeking Power to Vote Taxes to

Atwood citizens last week held
their second meeting looking to the
establishing of a high school dis

school district and establish four
year high school. 1t was decided
to go before the legislature and
secure the passage Of a law Great

directors was elected as follows:
j. II. Harwood, G, Q. Holmes,
&c. w. Brooks, H. H. Leach and
j. NJ. Springer. They anticipate no
trouble in getting the bill passed.
An effort was made last week by
the progressive school people of
the Clarksburg school to organize
a school district, and increase the
school taxes So as to increase the
length Of their school year.

GROW WHAT YOU EAT

We feel that the importance of
growing what you eat cannot be
urged too much on the farmers of
this county. Every farmer should
grow enough corn. hay, meat and
garden truck to supply his own
table and feed his own stock. All
these products of the farm are high,
and from present indications, are
likely to remain high. Ifyou plant
all cotton and the price should be
low and these other things should
remain high, the farmer would find
himself in a deplorable condition.
But should be raise enough to feed
himself he could still remain indie
pendent.
Carroll county should grow its
own bread and meat and feedstuf.
The amount of corn, hay and meat
and flour shipped into this county is
simply appalling. OF coursethere
is some excuse for not growing
wheat enough to supply the county
with flour, but We can grow corn
and meat enough to supply the To-
cal demands.
There are but few farmers in
the county who raise chickens in
as large numbers as they should.
Hens are selling Iii II cents a
pound, and eggs have been selling
all winter at from 30 to 40 cents a
dozen. There is money in raising
chickens at these prices, and with
plenty of poultry in the back yards
there is no need Of any family 60
ing hungry or being worried about
high prices.
The garden is another most
splendid asset to the farmer that
should help cut down the cost of
living 1t win pay this year to
look after the little things, and

picture show, which was very
much enjoyed
BY a unanimous wish of the
school and through the kindness
of the school board, Friday was
celebrated as a holiday, instead of
Thursday, in memory of George
Washington.
Miss Hunt went home Friday
morning and returned Sunday. All
were in hope of seeing Miss Gle
ment return with her, but her con-
dition will not permit her to return
to her work.
Many of the girls and faculty
visited the Y.s NJ. G. A. Friday
night and report that they are do
ing fine work.
The recital given Friday night
was very much enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Clayton Higgins spent from
Friday until Monday at |. I ;. as
the guest Of her sister. Madge
Higgins. Mrs. Higgins will be
pleasantly remembered as Mary
Woodmore, a former student of

We are very much pleased to
have the new boys in school and
hope their stay will be pleasant.
The Jeffersonian program given

The anti.prohibitionists over
played their hands when they
voted for the bone-dry amendment
to the postofice bill. Their idea
is chat they will make prohibition
50 drastic that there will be a re-
action. These men do not under
stand the growing sentiment for
prohibition. They do not realize
how far the drift is toward ma
tional prohibition. The policy Of
lacking general legislation amend
ments on appropriation bills is a
bad one, but those who voted
for this amendment have played
into the hands Of sincere
prohibitionists. The man who
wants prohibition for everybody
else and not for himself is, of
course, hypocrite. There are
many people not teetoteIers, who
are willing to see the experiment
of bone-dry prohibition made. If
the gentlemen who voted for the
bone-dry amendment thought to
do the cause Of prohibition harm
they made fearful mistake.

THELITTLE THINGS OF LIFE

Reader, if you we're asked to
name the most popular man in
town, who would you designate9
Perhaps you think on the spur
Of the nonent, you would indicate
some great lawyer, or some fa-
yorite minister, or perhaps some
old family doctor, or any Of a
dozen or more notable personages
in the community
But on second thought, you are
not SO sure, and after mature re-
Election you are ready to discard
them all.
Then you begin to cast about
among the less notable ones. Now
you are getting warm" as the
children say.
Now you have located him, and
you are surprised, because he is
never associated in your mind with
the great, or ever near great, never
theless, as you study bin, his pop-
ularity and the reasons therefor
are brought forcibly to your at
tention.
In the first place, you study him
as he comes down town in the
morning. His progress is slow,
as he seems to be stopped by every
person he meets, and he has a
handshake and a warm Good
Morning" for all. You follow him
to his place Of business and see
him radiating the same sunshine
and cheerful greeting, and you
Ind be IS known to every employee
Of the place as Uncle"
Watch him, if he is q merchant,
as the store begins to fill with Gus
toners. Each receives the same
cordial welcome. To the ladies he is
especially courteous, and you are
surprised to sec that courtesy I'M
shaken even when confronted by
one whom you by no stretch Of the
imagination could term a lady.
He sees your surprise and" for
the sake of the SEX" he smiles,
Now watch him as he starts for
home toward nightlall. School is
out and the children are on the
streets. = He must stop to shoot
u marble with crowd of urchins,
and they hail his coming with
shouts Of glee. Another must per-
suade him to have a try at his top.
On account of his avoirdupois, he
has to draw the line at the hoop,
which another offers him, but he
starts it off for the Youngsters To
pursue.
A little further on he is accosted
by a beyy Of Small girls, who are
in their element as they swarm
about him, clamoring for a story,
teasing him to jump the rope, or
even rifing his pockets for sus-
pected sweets.
You see him as he reaches his
home, when the good wife meets
him at the gate. She has a sad
tale for his ear. Sorrow has ent-
cred neighbours home. At once
he is all sympathy, and without
waiting to enter his own door he
passes on to the house of sorrow.
Perhaps he can offer naught but
sympathy, but this comes so plainly
from the heart and is accompanied
by such a warm clasp of the hand,
that it carries its blessed message
Of comfort and sympathy.
You are now beginning to APP
preciate the true reason for his
popularity. He is man of in
Vulnerable small deeds of kindness,
but these deeds are such as touch
the heartstrings of those about
him. He, himself has never aspired
to great things. being content to oc-
cupy himself with the small affairs
Of life, kuowiDg full Heils wise
