A political crisis developed at the
opening of the diet Tuesday. The
chief reason was the appointment Of
Field Marshal Count Terauchi as pre-
mier by the emperor last October.
This appointment was criticised un-
favorably by Japanese political lead

not command public support. He is
regarded as a representative of the

emption claims.

At a meeting of the board of
directors of the Putnam County
Fair Association in Cookeville last
Saturday. 1t was decided that
no fair would be held at Cooke
vile this year. The reason there
for was given that on account of
the increased interest in automo-
biles and the consequent decrease
in interest in harness and saddle
horses that an entire new pro-
grain of entertainment and pre-
MUM list would have to be ar
ranged, which was not possible
in time to hold a successful fair
this season.

Blue SKY LAW BEING EN-.
FORCED.
Reward Offered For Detention
of ViOlatOrs.

The blue sky law which pro.
tects the unwary and the limo.
cent from the wiles of the stock
salesman, which was enacted in
1918, is receiving full and fail
enforcement in Tennessee. When
Secretary of State Stevens as
sumed the duties of the office he
began at once an investigation
into the sale of investment stock
in Tennessee. He found a num-
ber of stocks and other invest
ments being peddled or other
wise disposed of which had not
been approved by the secretary
of state as the law requires. He
rounded up all persons engaged
in selling investments that had
not been Investigated and ap-
proved by the state, and it is
said numbers of persons were
stopped from practices which
had taken an enormous sum of
money from the state without
any substantial returns. Gold
mines, silver mines, copper min
es, oil stocks and land companies
were the various kinds of corpo-
rations which disposed of stock
without legal authority.
While he has been successful
to great extent in stopping
these fraudulent and illegal OPP
erations, Secretary Stevens is
determined that no guilty men
shall escape, and Monday five
hundred postal cards will be
mailed to officials throughout
the state offering reward for
the apprehension and detention
of all violators of Chapter 81,
act of 1913, or the blue sky law.
The offering of Secretary Stew
ems is as follows:
$1,000 REWARD
To Any Lawful Officer Of the
State of Tennessee
For the apprehension and de-
tention of any agent selling stock
in the state who has not compli-
ed with the blue sky law, Chap
ter 81, acts, extra session 1913.
Demand his license.

FTFTY.SEVENTH WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY.
Old Time Reunion Enjoyed
By Large Crowd.

On the 10Th of July, 1917, a
the beautiful country home Of
John H. l., Brown, on DryforE
of Flynns creek, a family reunion
and celebration was enjoyed. Il
was in honor of the fifty seventh
wedding anniversary of j. H. l.
Brown and wife. They are botf
past the 80th milestone, since
February. Mr.. Brown having
been born, raised and spent most
of his life at the place where he
now resides. Both are hale and
hearty.
To this aged couple were born
5 boys and 8 girls, all living and
present, but 2 boys, Jack. who
died in infancy and D. F. Brown,
who is in Oklahoma. They have
80 grandchildren; 27 of them pre-
sent; 20 greatgrandchildren, with
Ia present. 1t looked like an old
time camp meeting. The chill
dren played in the yard and on
the hills, while the grown ones
chatted about the house and
yard, the all absorbing question
being the war, with the men.
and canning with the women,
After while baskets begun to
appear from every nook and cor
ner of the house and carried to
the porches, which practically en-
circled the house. Then the con-
tents of those baskets were
spread on the linen. Dinner was
announced, the men standing on
the ground and the women to oc-
cupy the porch. After the bless
ing was asked each and every
one Jared sumptiously for an
hour or so. Everybody had
brought dinner, so they mixed
and mingled together. endeavor-
ing to find the best dish and the
best cook.
After dinner every one voted
it the best dinner they ever at
tended.
Evening begun to wane. the
crowd begun to thin. all said
goodbye's, hoping for just such
another event next year.
Of Mr.. Browns offsprings, SO,
were all present but 16: d. +,
Brown and family, Oklahoma,
Lester Brown and family, of CAL,
Henry F. Johnson and family, of
Goodlettsville. Tenn, Bedford
Brown, OF, New Mexico.
Besides the kinspeople partici-
pating in the feast, were a few
others; Frank Halle and wife, of
Flynns Lick, Hyram Brown and
son, of Hilham, Tenn.
After all it was a great day
for grandpa, grandma, children,
grandchildren and great-grand-
children.
More reunions should be had,
because we hardly are acquaint-
ed with our folks. Heres hoping
for just such another opportuni-
ty to show stomachic wares.
With best wishes.
From one present.
