was here a few days the first of
last week. Mr.. Hawkins lives in
Dallas. Tex, and we understand, is
prospecting in that splendid city.
He said be saw his brother, Charles
Hawkins, a few weeks ago, who
lives in California, and is doing
well.
Mr.. Patterson, who last spring
bought the L. L. Pettus place,
short distance north of town,
moved in with bis family the first
of this week. Mr.. Patterson came
from near the Weakley and Obion.
county line, has a most excellent
family and will make Us good cit
liens. We hope they will not
only be pleased with their new
heme, but that they will prosper
here.
The Democrat failed last week to
mention the fact that the excellent
family of L. L. Pettus had moved
to Nashville where they will reside
in the future. They left the first
of the week. They came here
from Nashville a few year ago and
have made US fine citizens. Last
spring he sold his home to a Mr..
Patterson and was to give posses
sion this fall. They moved back
to the same community from which
they moved when they came here.
We regret losing them from this
community. but wish them well.
The farmers have for the last
two years heard great deal and
learned much about conserving
food and feed stuff. They have
put much of this information into
practice, There is one thing along
this line, however, that would not
be untimely to refer to just now.
There can be no better conservation
'of feed stuff than to furnish
good dry places for stock during
the cold winter months. stock kept
in dry warm place will live and
keep in good condition on much
less feed than they will if not prop
erly sheltered. Then it is much
more humane.
Lieut.. Simpson and Instructor
Smith, two aviators from Park

in this city Tuesday night of Mr..
