The Town Attacked. /"

Sunday afternoon about s O'CLOCK
the buzzing Of an airplaine brought
out everyone. and in thc east was
seen at a great heighth the little air
devil. 1t sailed around the town and
looped the loop and other capers, and
aftercoming so low that it almost
touched the electric light wires aud
tops of shade trees, was seen to hover
over Thrasher's farm and to alight in
his meadow. Then it was that every
man, woman and child, white and
black. began to rush to the scene.
The crowd had the privilege of in
specting by finger prints real air
plane. Before they had only seen it
in mid-air. but it was now on the
ground.
The airplaine, No. 3395l. from the
Park Field. was manned by Lieuts. c.
H. Smith and W. j. Monahien. They
took on gasoline and between sun
down and dusk, made its ascension in
a most beautiful manner, and scared
away to the west. 1t was quite an
interesting occasion as it was the first
time an sirplane bad landed here.

THE Hamilton-Lasle PLAYERS.

The Hamilton.L asley Players are
here performing for the entire week.
They opened Monday night with a
packed tent, Tuesday night a still larg-
or crowd, and Wednesday night their
big tent was filed to overlooking with
people from all sections of the coun-
ty to witness the performance which
was given in the interest Of the Red
Cross. They are the cleanest act of
show people we ever met. The act
ors are artists in their respective
lines. They put on the boards ONLY
modern plays, and all free from any
thing which would offend the most
fastidious. We are glad to have
them with us, and glad that Bethel
Springs and our neighhors from all
over the county are erj ,ying the oc-
casion with ns.
Thursday night the Under Dog"
and Friday night THE Warning" is
to be played, and Saturday night they
put on The Woman He Couldn't Buy"
These are two Of the best plays and
are written by Mr.. Walters the author
Of paid IN Full" "Fine Feathers"
ETC., and have never been seen out
side the large cities, and are plays
with a moral worth coming to see.

Farm News.

(ByL. j. KERR, County Demonstrated
A very important meeting Of all
wheat growers of the county is called
to meet at the courthouse in Selmer,
Oct. 5, at 2 p. m. If you grew grew
any wheat last year or planning to
grow some this year be sure and be
on hand at this time.
McNairy County's allotment of
wheat this fall is 1900 acres or 600
acres increase over that of last year.
If you did not SOW wheat last fall
plan to do so this. We must all do
something to help in the food short
age for the nation.
Land for wheat to be sown upon
should be disced and narrowed well
before sowing. II the weather stays
dry it will be a good idea to roll your
ground. The idea is, to get firm
seed bed before sowing so as to pre-
vent the wheat from freezing out Of
ground.
You shonld wasca f,r the early
frost and it You have com not fully
maturad. cut and sh ,ck it thereby
getting tn. bsnsiit Of both ears and
stalks.
Winter.kil ing of wheat can be
,voided By using drill. This applies
. oats as we'll.
Have you built your sweet potato
house yet? II not you should d. SO at
once. Don't wait till you dig your
potatoes and have no place to store
them.
There is still plenty Of time to SOW
oats and crinsom-clover for winter
pasture and cover crop. They will
cut down feed bills for both horses
and cattle.
Many hogs fail to fatten because
they are infested with lice. You
should see that they are free from
this pest b fore trying to fatten them.
A coat Of crude oil will help the sit
uation.
Again let me remind you that there
is hog cholera in the county. You
had batter watch your hogs closely
aad have them vacciaated il any
symptoms appear.

Relieving Constipation

When the bowels become constipa-
ted or clogged by an accumulation of
feces, the residuum thus retained
slowly decomposes, producing gases
and liquids, which are absorbed by
the intestines and taken up by the
blood. Unless the bowels are thor
,ughly cleansed and regular habit
established, the poison thus taken in
to the system may manifest itself In
boils, blotches, pimples and sores. In
Aamation Of the bowels, liver and kid
news may also re ult, and the absorb
tion Of the bile and uric acid by the
blood becomes the source Of rheuma-
tism and neuralgic affections.
In the train Of constipation follows
q multitude Of diseases. Thus It Of
ten happens that q course Of the
great Vim HEPATICA treatment re-
moves not only the constipated con-
dition but other painful ailments
which result therefrom.
L. F. Sweeney, of Route No. /
West Nashville. Tenn, the we'll known
Nashville travelling salesman writes:
There have been times when /
thought would simply have to give
up my work on the road. No one
knows how much I suffered from poor
and irregular meals and broken rest.
| was continually constipated, and my
whole digestive system was upset.
But the tide has turned for me now,
and am on the road to complete re-
cover And | owe it to Vim Hepati-
Ica-nothing else. now 90 to bed
and sleep soundly as baby all night,
and wake up feeling refreshed and 60

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There
~ only one way TO cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused BY an in
hamed condition Of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inilamed YOU have n rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it Is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless tho
restored 10 Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
an infamsd condition OF the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of catarrhel Deafness that cannot

BLUE RIDGE MEETING
DELAYED BY MOGULS

Hagerstown, Nd. Feb. 2.-The
meeting to fix up a circuit for the
Blue Ridge League will not be held
before March L In making this an
nouncement the directors of the
league say that while they are sure
the league will be in operation, they
think it best to delay as long as pos
Sble so they may get a better line
on conditions that will have an in
fiuence in selecting cities to form the
organization.
Meanwhile discussion over the
makeup of the league is free and
everybody is entitled to express an
opinion. A pretty and compact cir
cult would be one Of Hagerstown,
Cumberland, Harrisburg, Lancaster,
York and some other city. This sixth
city is the stumbling block. The five
cities named are outlined by a local
man high in league affairs. but his
sixth city nomination is blank.
Frederick, IL admitted, would put the
circle out Of plumb and would, too,
be a weak sister, judging from the
past. To admit Johnstown or AL
toona would be bad, too. The real
solution seems to be to leave out one
OF the five named above-either
Lancaster or York-and a neater or
more balanced circuit than the four
club arrangement left could not be
imagined.

Sullivan's battle with John Barley
corn was by far the most spectacular
OF his eventful career in which Ven-
ture, however, he was not a great sue
cess. his good fellowship and his wide
circle of friends keeping him ON
the ropes continually.
His advent on the temperance lee
ture stage brought about a famous in
cident in which Gen. Nelson A. Miles
refused to appear with him as a speak
er at the same meeting. Sullivan met
the rebuff with good natured banter
ing and the remark that the only diff
ference between he and Miles as a
lighter was that he started as a plum
Der and the General began life as a
ribbon clerk and that he, Sullivan,
was far more familiar with the Decla-
ration of Independence.
A few years ago after a long time
spent partly upon the stage, in writ
ing various editions of his memoirs
and as sporting editor of various big
newspapers, he retired to North
Abingdon and began farming on a
scientific basis"-that is he became
a gentleman farmer, gathered a few
friends about him and could be found
in the summer sitting on a wide We
randa recounting stories OF his long,
eventful life and dispensing sermons
to all who might feel in need of
spiritual "reviving."

PAL MOORE Is BUSY
KNIGHT THESE DAYS

Baltimore. Feb. 2.-They seemingly
can't get too many battles to suit Pal
Moore, the Memphis bantam-weight
contender, who continues red-hot on
the trail Of Pete Herman. Moore's
manager, Nate Lewis. has mapped out
a hurricane campaign for his boy
which will lead right yp to an insistent
demand that Herman agree to a match
and particularly so now. inasmuch as
he has been placed in the first draft
division and has announced he Is
ready to meet all contenders. Moore
started his whirlwind campaign on
Thursday night, in Rockford. III,
where he defeated Roy Moore, the CAL
ifornia bantam-weight, in a sensa-
tional ten-round affair. Rockford is
not far from Chicago and Pal went d.
rect back to the Windy City, where
he will finish his training for the
bout with Dick Loadman here next
Wednesday night before the Pickwick
Athletic Club at Albaugh's Theater.
