The following letter from Pri-
vate Add Peoples, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hiram Peoples, north of
town, will be interesting to his
many friends here. The letter was
written to his mother on Deem
Der "a:
Dear Mother:-R Received your
letter yesterday and glad to hear
from you. Fun having a pretty
fine time, of course | have to feel
that way whether | do or not, but
you know we are in war and have
lots to do that we really don't want
to. But can you imagine how the
poor Belgian women and children
are suffering9 My thoughts run
like lightning back to you. How
terrible it would be to see you and
Jennie and May treated as they
are treated. | am willing to try to
go over the top for you and the
others mentioned, for | love you
all, mother.
You do not know how | hated
to enlist, for the thoughts of leav-
ing and not getting to come home.
But | believe | can get something
good out of this, for I'm sure go
ing to do the right thing, and
Uncle Sam is looking for good
men and real men. Pm going to
be one of that kind. Now don't
worry about me deserving, for |
don't want to do that, even if |
could get away with it. / haven't
such a thing in mind, and tell brave
old dad that he has one brave boy.
Tell him to cheer up and be thank
full its as we'll with US as it is.
Maybe next Christmas we can cell
citrate a peaceful one.

The carriers out from HuEting-
don have lad a hard time trying
To make their rounds for the last
two weeks. Snow drifts, sleet,
ice and slush, and extreme cold
rendered it practically impossible
+. several days for them to make
their entire routes. Patrons rea-
lizing the conditions of the weather
have not blamed them very much
we feel sure. A few days the boys
could have made Il all right, but
it would have been cruel on the
stock,
Most of the schools Of the county
have been forced to close on ac-
count of the bad weather. The
snow and cold have made it inn
possible to continue to any adYant-
age. The teachers have returned
to their homes to await a let up
in the bad weather. Small chill
dren could not reach the school
house and larger ores found it diff
ficult to make the trip. Scarcity
of fuel was another reason for the
schools TO discontinue until the
weather moderates.
In the change of train service on
the ~, G. & st. L. road we notice
that trains Nos. Z and s, the Wav-
erly accommodations, which form
erly ran between Nashville and
Wayerly will be extended to Hol-
low Rock junction. This accom-
mediation should be extended to
Mckenzie. This would be a great
accommodation to the people of
Mckenzie, Huntingdon and Hol-
low Rock. Mckenzie has good
no e facilities, which is not the
case at the junction. We believe
it would not only be great con
venience, but it would mean much
more business for the train. The
people Of Mckenzie and Hunting
ingdon should get busy and secure
this train if possible.

Hog Sales Day

January 26 has been designated
as Hog Sales Day for Tennessee
and the places for these sales are
being arranged in every county in
the state. The purpose of these
sales is to stop the sales of gifts
aud brood sows for butchering, by
placing them in the hands of fam
lilies who can keep them for breed
ing purposes. BY this means it is
hoped that the county will again
be stocked up with hogs. The
man who tlolght he would 60 out
and buy a few pigs in the spring
find that the surest way to obtain
them is to attend one of these sales,
buy sow and raise a litter of
pigs. County Agricultural Agent
G. H. Moody announced that men
who have sows for sale and those
who wish to buy are requested to
meet on the 26th at the nearest Of
the following places:

One Of the most amusing tricks In
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick.
where little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many, many
times the size Of the pellet. How awe
inspiring 1t Is to the youngsters! Most
psople have no idea what in the world
causes the snake to appear. The ex-
PLANTATION IL simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with q voluminous ash.
The little pellet Is nothing more than
some mercury sulphocyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move off so quickly
from the burning pellet that It writhes

Denver, October 1s.-By lowering

to z.77 mills-a saving of half q mil.
lion dollars In the peoples taxes-ths
Democrat; members OF the State
Board Of Equalization showed that
they are men Of their word. When
they were candidates two years AGO
they promised the people to give them
an efficient and economic administra-
ton. Reduction Of the tax rate proves
that they have kept their word. James
Il. holland. secretary of state; Attor.
ney General Leslie r. Hubbard, both
candidates for reelection, and
Charles H. Leckenby. state auditor
and now candidate for state treasur-
or. are the majority members OF the
board. They are the men whom the
people must thank II their tax bills
are lower during the coming year.
In fixing the levy at 2.77. the mem.
bers Of the board were solely guided
by the thought OF giving the various
institutions sufficient funds to meet
all their needs and render efficient
service to the people. Whenever they
saw an opportunity to cut the levy for
some specific purpose the cut was
made unhesitatingly. Economy and
efficiency were their watchwords all
the time. t.. tNl
The new levy will bring ss.sss. .1o4
