homes,
Where the chill wave of bayonets
cleaned?
When Truth shall stand asking for
what We will give,
Born out of your glory-your pain,
With Fame's note to clarion the deeds
that shall live,
Whose like shall be never againl
What have ye to give, oh, We sons OF
the land,
Of heritage noble and true,
When she shall stand waiting, with
uplifted hand,
And Fame shall come asking of
your
When the voice of a Southron shall
open each door,
And his name bear charm that is
known;
When the fame of a Southron shall
live in the lore
That the world treasures up as its
own?
BY the bones of brave sires who died
for the right,
That Liberty's seed corn might
live,
By sword and escutcheon left spotless
and bright,
What have yet, oh, southrons. to
give?
The aegis of history CLEANS like a
star,
And silvers the sandals of Fame;
The mantle of prophecy foateth afar,
While Truth calls warriors name;
That name shall We give, oh, We sons
of the South,
To Fame and to Truth from the
past;
Your measure of valor, set high in

HOW HOGS ARE NOT
PUT ON THE MARKET

CLINTON, Tenn, Feb. 20.-Ander
son county has shown several prac
teal results following hog rally and
hog sales days. One farmer Of the
county was found to have twenty
gifts which had been fattened and
were ready for the market. They
were not so fat but to be in good
breeding condition. Most of them were
purebred Poland Chinas or DuroctJer
seys subject to registration. When the
farmer saw the importance of the hog
production work at this time and an
nounced that instead Of shipping them
to market he would sell them for is
cents a pound to local buyers, six OF
them were sold on the spot. The
others have been disposed Of locally,
which will mean the addition OF many
more hogs to the livestock population
of the county this year.
