AUNT zYLPHIA" HONORED
Mrs, R, |, Flynn Celebrates Her 93rd
Birthday With SO Friends.

Sunday, July T. Mrs. Richard Flynn,
familiarly known as Aunt Zylphia"
Flynn celebrated her 93rd birthday
with some so friends at the Flynn
homestead, near Lantana.
Her husband, "Uncle Dick" Flynn,
as he was known by his many friends.
died several years ago, but Aunt Zyl-
phia is still quite active for one of her
advanced years.
A few years ago the management
of this paper offered to send the
Chronicle for aife free to the person
who had lived the longest In this coun-
ty, provided q sketch Of their live was
sent in for publication. Aunt Zylphia
and Mrs. Tucker, mother of the chair
man Of the County Board of Education,
S. A. Tucker, proved to be the two
who had lived here the longest and the
time they had lived here was so nearly
the same that both were accorded the
paper for lite. About year ago MRS.
Tucker died, but Aunt Zylphia lsquite
strong and promises to be spared to
her frends for several years yet She
is very likely the Oldest preson in the
county.
The next oldest is 'Uncle Dan"
Manning, who lives at Linaria. He Is
in his 92nd year, having passed his 9lst
milestone short time ago. We are
glad to be able to say thet Uncle Dan
is ehjoylrs reasonable health and still
takes much interest an the events of
the times.

viously arrested at Mobile Tues
day, June Q, on advices from Pasa-

No one seems to know whether or

would seem to be about that of the j.
M. Johnson whom our people knew.

WORD FROM CLAY BROWN
Still in Hospital in France and Doing
Well; Wound Not Serious.

Saturday Circuit Clerk L. +. Brown
received letter from his son Clay
Brown who was reported wounded in
battle in France some weeks ago.
The young man is still in the hospital
but says he is doing we'll and that the
wound is not dangerous. He says he
hopes to come home this fall. They
have been having some hot fighting
with the Germans but have whipped
them every time, he states.
When it is remembered that he was
wounded May 28 and from his letter,
which ws dated jane IT, he is still in
the hospital, it is evident that his
wound must have been more serious
than he wishes to admit He very
likely puts the best possible side out
to the end that his friends will not
worry. But taking the situation at its
worst there seems no doubt that he will
recover and be spared to come home.

JUDGE BROWN EULOGIzED
Efforts to TraduCe His Good Name Pre-
woke the WarmeSt Praise.

Judge S. C. Brown. of Athens, who
was born ana raised in this county, has
many warm friends and admirers with
in the confines of this county. He has
served almost one term as judge of
the Fourth Circuit and is seeking re-
election after having been declared the
nominee of the republican party OF his
district.
He has an opponent. Hon. A. j.
Fletcher, who neglected to enter the
primary election and because Judge
Brown had no opponent he was de-
clared the nominee without primary
election. That being the usual course.
Mr.. Fletcher has recently entered the
race against Judge Brown and has
made some dlscreditable charges
against him, stating that Judge Brown
is lacking in judicial poise, has been re-
versed by the higher courts an unrea,
sonable number of time and otherwise
rejecting upon Judge Brown more by
implication than by direct charge.
At meeting of the Bar Association
of Roane county, July S, the charges
of Mr.. Fletcher were disapproved in
the following resolutions:
1--WE, your committee. appointed to
draft resolutions with respect to the
recent statement published In the
lockwood Times over the signature
of Hon. A. J. Fletcher, with respect
to the judicial conduct of the Hon. s.
C. Brown, judge OF this judicial clr-
cult, peg leave to submit the following
resolutions:
First: We deeply deplore the attack
maze upon Judge S. G. Brown, princi-
pally by way of innuendo IN said state
ment. We regret that Mr.. Fletcher
does not predicate bis candidacy upon
his own merits, rather than the alleged
dement's of his distinguished opponent.
We deeply regret the effort to impute
impure motives to the bench and to
discredit the judiciary IN this judicial
circuit
Second. We unhesitatingly commend
Judge Brown as a man of high chara-
cter, moral integrity and judicial tem1
perment. We have always found him
to be honest, fair and impartial and
exertng his every effort to on all
occasions to do right.
He has constantly, while serving
this judicial circuit as Judge, exercised
his energies to discharge the duties of
Of the high office honestly, fairly and
We further desire to say
that his opinion and construction of the
aw in appeal cases from his court
nave received an exceedingly high
percentage of approval by the supreme
court OF the state, which is record
most favorably with the
)est judges OF Tennessee and it affords
IS pleasure to give this expression of
ur confidence and esteem.
Third. We recommend that copy of
his resolution be spread of record on
he minutes of this court, a copy be
iven to Judge Brown, and that copies
e furnished the press for publication.

JULY CROP REPORT
Corn and Wheat Outlook Good But the
Latter Hurt in This State.

The July crop report has been given
out and shows crops as whole to be
in a very promising condition, while
some crops the acreage is some less
than last year the condition is such
that with reasonable weather condi-
tions larger crops than last year may
reasonably be expected in almost all
food crops.
Corn promises more than the ten
year average but indicates slightly
less final yield than last year, but
when we come to consider the large
percentage of damaged corn last year
this season promises much better con-
ditions than last, with normal weather.
Wheat is considerably better than
last year and there is very favorable
outlook for a crop close to the billion
mark, tor the nation, but IN the state
drouth, blight and scab has reduced the
harvest amount far below what was
expected. A ten million crop was ex-
much over half that amount is claimed.
Oats in the state 10 twelve percent
above the ten year average and almost
go percent above last year. For the
nation the crop will go above the ten
year avreage but will tall more than
100 million bushels below the crop of
last year.
The barley crop is 20 percent apove
last year but only slightly above the
ten year average. The crup as a
whole will be several millions above
last year.
Rye--ln the state the outlook is for
some SO million more bushels tnan last
year. For the nation the crop is some
FIVE percent above last year and will
be far above the ten year average.
IRISH POTATOES There is
shrinkage In the acreage planted this
year as against last year OF more than
l6 percent, but it is still above the ten
year average. The general condition
OF the crop is below the average of last
year eleven percent. Ther recent cool
weather will likely improve that con-
Idition some.
The crop for the whole country is
shout 200 thous and acres below last
year, which is about percent. The
general crop condition is only three
percent below last year at this time,
and slightly above the ten year aver
age. The present estimate for the
crop is 90 million bushels less than last
year.
Tobacco--The tobacco acreage in this
state shows an acreage shrnkage
with last year Of % percent.
The condition is slightly below last
year. In the United States the acre
age is slightly more than last year
while the condition is about the ten
year average and little less than
asst year.
Hay-for the state is 20 percent bet
;er than last year and percent above
he ten year average. The tonnage
Will be III ore than one third more than
asst year. For the whole country the
is percent below last year
md just equal to the ten year average.
The tonnage promises to be slightly I
bove the ten year average.

WATER SUPPLY FOR POULTRY
AS Necessary for Fowls as Sufficient
Quantity of Food-Different
Types of Vessels.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
A supply of pure drinking water
frequently renewed is as necessary
for poultry as sufficient supplies of
food.
There are two different types of
drinking vessels for poultry in COM
mon use: Open vessels-pails, pans,
crooks and the like; and drinking
fountains so constructed that dust and
dirt cannot get into the water except
by way Of very small exposed sur
face.
These quite opposite types Of drink
ing vessel are about equally popular
with poultry keepers. Open vessels
catch more dirt and dust but are more
easily cleaned. Closed fountains may
be used much longer without cleaning,
but If allowed to become foul are
harder to clean thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on a
shelf a foot or more above the floor
prevents the hens from scratching
coarse litter into them but does not
keep out fine dust which floats in the
air and settles in the water.
Thoroughly rinsing open vessels
once day and scalding drinking foun-
tains once or twice q week will usually
keep them as clean as necessary
