OLD LAND MARK PASSES.

The mills of the gods grin i
slowly, but exceedingly fine" AT
last, after 10, these many years,
the frame shack, known as the
Bucket of Blood" is being
torn down, after being condemn
ed by the City Council and the
State Fire Marshal. Along with
It's passing, it might be added
that it was the first photograph
gallery in Hickman, and proba-
bly, built for that purpose. How
1t earned its grewsome name, We
do not know, but old citizens
aver that many years ago it was
common to have a negro killed or
sashed up there about once a
month hence one part of the
name. The legend or historical
connection of the bucket re-
mains a mystery, known only to
another generation which has
long since passed away.

VIOLENCE IS FEARED.

Nothing so far has been heard
of Howard Walker by his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. b. Walker,
of this city. Young Walker dis
appeared about seven weeks ago.
1t seems that he had intended go
ing to Louisville, KY, where he
had been promised position, but
at Union City, Tenn, he stated
to a friend he was going to St.
Louis and was going to ride a
freight train. He wore dark
trousers and a brown coat and
vest and over this had put on q
new pair of bib overalls to pro-
tect his clothing in riding the
freight. He is about "a years
old.
The parents Of the young man
fear violence was done him, as
they have heard nothing Of him
since he left Union City. AL
ways before when away from
home he had written often and to
various members off the family.

be johnny ON the spot, becaus'
he is the best collector that ever
hit Hickman, if we may rely up
on reputation and not personal
experience. He has even been
known to ''get blood out of a
turnip.' All the way round, he
possesses the ability to make a
sheriff. He is a splendid mixer,
generally liked, highly respect
ed and a good campaigner- al
though he is not chronic office
seeker.
All Mr.. Ryan wants is a fair
show; he is in the race in earn
est-and to win. He can live
without the office, but would
like to serve one term, during
which he proposes to take the
kinks out of certain existing
evils, along with breaking up the
Bookkeeping business. Don't ov-
er look him on Aug. 4th.

And now comes our old friend

a plain, honest, sober, sensible,
man, one who has the courage OF
his convictions; and, whether IN
private or public life, he Will al

result of his friends efforts. he
had rather go down III defeat In

to the office by political tricks
and traffic; and these, to our wa.
OF thinking, are the kind of men
we want in public office. There
may be as good men IN the race
for sheriff, but we know there
are no better ones than Doc, and
the trial jury of Democratic vot-
ers of this county should give
his case due consideration before
sentencing him to serve with the
''also rams" He would make us
fine sheriff.

RYAN COMES OUT FOR
FULTON COUNTY SHERIFF.

With colors flying and proPi-
tious breezes filling the sails of
hope and promise, j. o. Ryan en-
tiers the race for sheriff of Full
ton county, subject to the Demo
cratic primary of Aug. A, 1917.
Mr.. Ryan has been a resident
of Fulton county for the past
fifteen years and is well and fav-
orably known in both ends-and
possibly the middle-of the coun-
ty. During his residence In
Hickman he has been engaged IN
various lines of business, and Is
man of more than passing a
bility. OF course, he possesses
all the necessary qualifications
for the office he asks and has a
good general knowledge OF CON
ditions in this county. He says If
elected, it must be upon his
Town hook" free of entang-
ling alliances and gum-shoe poll
tics; that furthermore he will
make a cleaning of the bootleg
ging camps if he becomes sheriff,
and will deal out an equal meas
ure of justice to all We believe
he will do that. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the Irish-Americans

of Otter Creek-and j. o. may
be a descendent of the famous
Tommie; at any rate, he has the
reputation for standing by his
colors and fearing nothing-exceP'

common among the bravest OF

ESTIMATED WHEAT
REQUIREMENTS

In Department of Agriculture Cir
cular rs, which recommends the SOW
ing of 47,337,OOO acres to winter
wheat and 5,131, 900 acres to rye this
fall, is given the following statement
regarding the estimated requirements
of the United States, and the allied
and neutral countries of Europe for
1918.
To supply the estimated needs Of
the United States, of the allies, and
in part of the neutral countries Of
Europe next year, it would be neces.
sary to plant in the United States
for 1918 about 48.7 million acres Of
winter wheat, 10 million acres Of
spring wheat, Sc million acres of rye
10 million acres barley, ASP million
acres oats, Ills million acres Of
corn. Compared with the 1O-year av.
erage, the proposed acreages repre-
sent increases of 43 per cent for win
ter wheat, 5 per cent spring wheat, q
per cent all wheat, 124 per cent rye
z per cent barley, % per cent oats
and 7 per cent corn, or a total in
crease of % per cent over the 10
year average of these cereals com
bined Compared with 1917, thes'
acreages represent increases of % pc
cent for winter wheat, Is per cent TO,
all wheat, 81 per cent for rye, and
per cent for oats, and decreases of
per cent for barley and of 8 per cen
for corn, or a net increase of as pc
cent over the total 1917 acreage o
these cereals combined. With the foo
requirements of the United States an
the allied and neutral countries o
Europe for next year in mind, tn
question of the acreage which it is ad
visable and practicable to plant de
mands serious thought.
