shady grove near the beautiful school

was given by Miss Marian Doran, one
of the popular teachers of Henry
county, under the auspices of the
home demonstration agt., Mrs. Pearl

OIL and GAS
LEASES RECORDED
in HENRY COUNTY
More Than One Hundred
I Tracts of Land Are
AnVoiVeo =
LOCATED LARGELY IN
THE RIVER SECTION

The indications are now that with
in short space of time there will be
extensive boring in Henry county
for oil and gas.
The county register, W. L. Man.
ning's office force is busily engaged
IN recording more than one hundred
leases in Henry county, according to
Mr.. Manning.
In each case the lease is in favor
of Mrs. 7. S Hughes, OF Clifton.
Tenn. the leases being secured by her
agent, Mr.. Demming.
lie leases are largely in the Ten
nessee river section of Henry county
where for many years there has been
talk of indications of both oil and
gas
No definite information regarding
the beginning of the boring was Sc
cured, but Mr. Demming made it very
plain to those who inquired that this
is bona fide business proposition
and not merely the scheme of promo
ters.
For a number of years it has been
known that there was considerable
deposits of Ignite in the county and
it is said that often where such de-
posits are found that oil and gas may
also be located.
Lignste is deposit in the nature
of inferior coal which when placed
over a forced draft, such as black
smiths furnace, it produces a fierce,
intense heat, but Ignite is of little
commercial use in residences on ac-
count of the absence of forced
draft.
Several years ago samples Of Henry
county Ignite were secured and tes-
ted but owing to the distance from
the railroad and the lack of suffi-
cient interest among financiers the
matter of mining it or boring for oil
or gas underneath was deferred.
Since that time the subject has
been brought up at different periods
but this is the first definite move as
far as the general public is concerned.
Little was said regarding these lea
ses until they were ready for record
ing in the county registers office.

He Is On Our
Honor Roll

The dispatches of the week carried
the name of another Henry county
boy who yields up his life "Some-
where in France" for the cause of
liberty, under our matchless flag.
This man was William Boyd Dunn.
A few days after war was declared
this lad volunteered and was sent to
jefferson Barracks, Mo-, and shortly
afterwards was sent to France.
1t is stated that he arrived in
France but IA days after Gen. Per-
shing. He went into action on De-
cember 26, 1917.
He was 23 years of age on July "a.
He was the son of H. M. Dunn, and
was born in Galloway county, KY,
which adjoins Henry county on the
north. He has resided in this county
since 1902.
Besides his father, he is survived
by two brothers, Cleveland and C. w.
Dunn, and two sisters, Mrs. C. w.
Rogers and Mrs. Henry Gaskins.

COUNTY AGENTS
OBSERVATIONS
Writes Interestingly of Con-
ditions and Things in
Henry County

The Henry county demonstration
agent, Mr.. j. A. Patrick, who recent
ly succeeded d. M. Clements in this
work, has entered his duties with q
vim.
The following facts Regarding
county conditions we're reported by
him: \
-. A. Patrick, County Agent will
be in Supt. Joe Routo6's office every
Saturday. Telephone calls can be
made to Supt. JoefRouton's office OF
to Prof. Clements at Cavitt Hall.
The sheep sale at the West Ten
nessee Experiment Station was quite
success. One hundred rams from
one of the best sheep farms of the
North West were sold. The placing
of these 100 rams in West Tennessee
is certainly a big boost to sheep rails
ing.
The following farmers of Henry
county bought rams; Telly Muzzle,
Mansfield and Bailey Dumas, Jesse
Olive and ]. R. Veazey Of Cottage
Grove. The highest priced ram sold
brought $50. Mr.. Bailey Dumas bid
as high as $3.50 on this highest sell
Ter. The next highest was $50. Ser
eral sold for $50. A few sold for $50.
The majority of them sold at from
$35 to $40. Henry county was ask
ed to purchase five rams, but we did
more than we were asked to do and
bought six
Complaints are still coming in
about cotton shedding. Remember
that it is very seldom that all the
fruit of the cotton plant natures
There is always some shedding re-
gardless of weather conditions.
Mr.. Hancock has several excellent
features Of farming on his farm He
has used the right variety of cotton
and has kept it properly cultivated.
His last cultivation was with the "a
inch heel sweep which left it in good
shape.
Mr.. Hancock prefers to plant his
cotton about April "a, and says that
ii will cut the yield 100 pounds of
seed cotton to the acre to plant it
week later.
He is succeeding with pears. The
orchard has good stand of Lespe-
1eza and the mower had recently been
ever the orchard to clip off the weeds
before they went to seed. He goes,
through and keeps all the blighted
wigs cut out and burned and has
saved his orchard from the dreaded
blight. He also believes in well
,alanced husbandry and does not like
% stake his all on any one crop. He
has gotten potato houses with ample
space so that he can market his pota-
,oes when the market is right. He
also has ample crops for feed and
forage.
Remember to conserve food in or
der that the boys "over there" might
be fed"

Early BoHs
OF Cotton

This office has been furnished with
two bolls of cotton by two progress
sive farmers since our last issue.
The first was from the field of j.
G. Smith on Route 5, and the next
by j. T. Mcclure, of Route 9.
This isunusuallyearly possibly three
weeks, and it is gratifying to learn
of its early maturity.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

On Sunday Sunday School Con-

man J. W. Stewart at Rowe school
house.
A large crowd Of people was in
attendance. A splendid program was
carried out which consisted of good

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because
of High Heels. but Why
Care Now.

Women wear high heels which buc-
kle up their toes and they suffer ter
ribly from corns. Women then pro-
ceed to trim these pests, seeking re-
lief, but they HARDLY realize the
terrible danger from infection, says
a Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce Of
a drug called freezone. This is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus on ones feet. You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn or cal
lus. The soreness is relieved at once
and soon the entire corn or callus,
root and all, lifts out with out one
particle of pain.
This freezone is q sticky substance
which dries in = moment. 1t just
shrivels up the corn without infiam-
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Tell your wife about
this. Adv. 3.

listening to the organ and gazing

ficent old church. This church was
built in A. d. 907. The Danes par

A FRENCHMAN ON
OUR AIR PROGRAM

"The day of errors, in which we
had our share, is now over. The
hopes which public opinion founded
on American aviation soon will be
realized" This is what Captain Hor-
teaux, the famous French aviator,
told the Associated Press in Paris up
on his return from visit to the Uni
ted States. 1t is another sign Of great
things that are to be.
In this country Captain Horteau:
looked into the status Of our avia
tion program. How well he was
pleased with what he found is indi-
Gated in his statement printed above.
When Captain Horteaux refers to
''the hopes which public opinion
founded on American aviation" he
means the hopes which were enter
tanned by French public opinion. They
were large hopes indeed. The French
people set scarcly any limit to the
capacity of the United States. They
thought Of America as wonderfui
country, Of vast wealth and vast re
sources, which always did everything
on q huge scale. They expected US to
produce on air feet which would ia,
surpass anything ever before seen in
the air.
Now when Captain Horteaux, af
ter examining into the progress of
our air program says, that these ex-
pectations Of the French will soon be
realized he says a great deal. 1t is
perfectly safe to conclude from his
words that what he saw in this coun-
try convinced him that the United
States is going to do something very
big in Notwithstanding so big
that 1t will not disappoint even the
French who have expected SO much
