Citizens of Brownsville are needing
the warning given by our state fuel
administrator and are putting in their
winter supply of coal before the fall
rush comes on. This not only helps
the individual who buys coal now but
is as well patriotic service to the
government, which will probably need
the entire output during the winter
months.
Arrangements have been made for
a great union revival meeting in
Brownsville during the month of
September. All denominations of the
city will unite in this work and great
spiritual uplift is anticipated. Fur
Their information concerning this mat
ter will be found elsewhere in this is

Wiley Powell of Asbury brought to
this office Tuesday the finest sample
of Triumph potatoes that we have
ever seen. They are unusually large,
smoothe and of perfect shape. Mr..
Powell is one of our best farmers and
is either an expert potato grower or
else his soil is peculiarly ad22ted to
this crop. Judging from the yield We
are sure that both statements are true.

At a meeting Of the board of mayor
and aldermen held Tuesday night, w.
w. Crandell, Jr., was elected alderman
from the second ward to fill out the
unexpired term of R. R. Rainey, re-
signed. Mr.. Rainey has filled this place
for a number of years and has render
ed faithful and efficient service to the
city. He retires because Of business
interests which require his undivided
attention. Mr.. Crandell will doubtless
prove a most capable and efficient al
derman. He is thoroughly familiar
with the duties Of the office, having
filed the position Of city recorder in
a most satisfactory manner for a num-
Der of years.
A great deal Of complaint is being
made of the condition of Hatchie le-
wee. 1t is almost impossible, being
full of deep holes which make traffic
both dangerous and expensive. We
have taken time to look into this mat
ter with view to fixing the blame
where it belongs and we find that the
trouble is mainly due to inability to get
gravel shipped. The chairman of the
county court has ordered the gravel
and had it promised half dozen times
or more, only to be disappointed time
after time. He has made every effort
in this direction, but gravel promised
him has been shipped elsewhere every
time. If it is impossible to secure
gray Ell, as it appears at this time, we
would suggest that the worst places
be repaired with either cinders or dirt.
This would relieve matters for the
present and answer until freight con-
