A NOTABLE FUNERAL.

The funeral of Hon. D. E. Scott,
which occurred in the home of the
deceased on Thursday afternoon of
last week at 1870 o'clock, followed
by interment of the remains in
Lexington cemetery at 800 o'clock,
was a notable one in many partic-
ulars Mr.. Scott was the oldest
member of the Lexington bar and
had practiced his profession here
since 1895.
The services were conducted in
the home and when concluded and
the funeral procession started to
the City of the Dead" the hearst
bearing the remains was immedi-
ately preceded by the active pail
bearers, who in turn were led by the
members of the local bar marching
in tWOS.
The floral offerings from friends
and relatives were numerous and
beautiful, testifying the esteem in
which Mr.. Scott was universally
held--for to know the man at all
was to recognize his innate honesty,
his steadfast loyalty to everything
and everybody having a claim on
him.
Present on account Of the death
and burial of Mr.. Scott were Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Weller and three
children, Of Jackson, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. S. Dickey, of Dickey Landing,
Mrs. Eva Hancock, Dickey Landing,
(sister of the deceased and mother
of Mrs. Weller and Mrs. Dickey)
Mrs. John C. McHaney, of Kennett,
Mo-, DR.. and Mrs. j. L. Mcmillan
and Atty. j. A. England, of Deca-
turville, and Mrs. Bessie Holcomb,
of Hollow Rock.
We, who associated almost daily
with Mr.. Scott will miss his kindly
presence-but had we the power we
could not afford to call him back
to earth from the reward to which
we believe he has gone.

BROKE ALL WEST TENN. RECORDS.

The grand jury of the Decatur
county Circuit court last week found
but three indictments or true bills
the lowest record ever made by
a grand jury in this Judicial circuit
in thirty years--and perhaps longer.
Judge Barham says it is the lowest
record ever made by a grand jury
in his recollection. This very de-
sirable condition has been brought
about by operation and application
OF the Bone Dry State Law. AT
the October term of the Circuit
court Of Henderson county but ten
or IL bills were found by the jury
and but three or four of those sus-
tanned.

ny, Triangle Komedy at the Prin-
cess Friday night. Don't miss it.

No doubt many OF you are suffer-
ing from eye troubles of some form and
would be willing and glad to have it re-
lieved if you only knew just who to 60
to for relief.
AS many OF you know, something
more than year ago opened my
branch office in Lexington. After few
months my practice grew in Jackson as
it did in Lexington, to the extent that |
was forced to stay in my office in jack
son in order to take care of my work.
Soon after discontinued my Lexington
office the people OF your town and SUR
rounding counties appealed to me to
come back to Lexington. OF course this
was very gratifying to me to know that
my work had met with such approval.
After securing an assistant | consented
to come back.
My records show that have fitted
over 500 people with glasses from your
town and counties and | believe they
are every one we'll pleased and are
ready and willing to testify as to my
ability and knowledge of the eye.
HERE is THE QUESTIONABLE you
going to let a man that has proven
himself to you and will guarantee
satisfaction, fit your eyes with glass
es, or let some man that comes along
that you never heard of or never
saw, do it?
Now on the First Monday in Nov
ember will be in my office over DR..
Watsons Drug Store with my instru=
ments we'll equipped to give your eyes
scientific examination and fit them with
glasses.
Let me urge you not to neglect your eyes
1t is dangerous. That is why we have so many
institutions for the blind. They are filled with
children and older people that we're neglected.
Meet me in Lexington in my office Monday,
Nov. 9th, and have this important work done.

COWS LOSE MINERAL MATTER
Ohio Experiment Station Emphasizes
Value of Leguminous Roughages
In Milk Production.

Dairy cows ordinarily cannot digest
from rations of the usual character
sufficient mineral matter to meet the
demands made by heavy milk Lroduc-
ton. This conclusion has been reached
by nutrition experts at the Ohio eX
pertinent station after two years in
vestigations with cows yielding large
quantities of milk.
These specialists also say that even
when the common practical rations are
supplemented with large amounts of
calcium carbonate and bone flour, the
cows still give off more lime than they
can digest from their rations. To meet
this demand for heavy milk production
the cows must draw upon the mineral
substances of their skeletons.
Further attempt is being made, by
the use of more readily soluble lime
salts, to learn whether a COW can alb
sorb as much lime as she gives off
during heavy milk production.
The results obtained thus far EN-
phasize the value of leguminous rough
ages In milk production. Without lib
er9l allowances of such feeds, the loss
Of minerals from the bones becomes
excessive and predisposes to disorders
OF nutrition.

TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS
Prescription Given for Animal Weigh
Ing About 100 Pounds-Preven-
tive Is Recommended.

To expel worms from hogs the fol-
lowing prescription is right for a pig
weighing about 100 pounds: Santonin.
five grains; calomel, two grains !;
areca nut, two grains; sodium bicar-
Donate, one dram. Keep the hogs
off feed for about II hours and give
the dose in a slop of middlings. The
evening of the same day give a mash
of wheat bran. This will flush the
bowels. Gather all worms and burn
them.
Worms often are the forerunner Of
disease.
If hog or pig has big appetite
and thriftless condition, with dry
dead hair, it is a good indication of
the presence of worms.
Salt and sulphur and charcoal
should be kept in every pigpen and
pig yard so the pigs can help them
selves.
This Is a corrective and a proven
tive of worms.
