Open Your Sack
An exchange tells the story OF a
boy who was sent to market with a
sack full of rabbits, lingering around
town all day and coming back with
out selling them. When asked by
his mother why he had not sold the
rabbits, he said no one asked him
what was in the sack. How many
of our merchants are like this little
boy? They have plenty OF goods 1or
sale, but fail to tell the people what
is in the sack. If you expect to sell
goods in this day and age, you must
open your sack and keep shouting
the merits of your stock in trade.

Death of Mr.. Hawkins
ESQ. M. 2. Hawkins, 80 years of
age, died last Friday afternoon at
his home, west of Martin, after a
brief illness. Mr.. Hankins was one
of the best known men in his commu-
nifty He had lived quiet, unas-
supiRg life, but was we'll posted on
all ySblic questions. During the civil
war he received a wound which would
have killed an ordinary man, being
shot through the body. In dressing
the wound the army surgeon ran a
silk handkerchief entirely through
his body to clean out the wound, and
in a short while Mr.. Hawkins was up.
He made a fearless soldier and was
a good citizen all the days of his life.
Surviving him are three children
Mr.. Joe Hawkins, Mrs. Bera Hibbits,
of Union City, and Mrs. Pearl Craw-
ford, of Martin. The remains were
laid to rest on Saturday, the Con-
federate soldiers paying last trib-
ute of respect at the grave.

PAIR MULES SELL
HERE FOR $500

Saturday was a big mule day in
Dresden, and many Of the long cared
animals were brought to town, Mr..
Sanders paying good prices for all
the mules he bought. Carer & Gibbs,
of Martin, also had representatives
on the ground who made a number
of purchases.
Vol Davis, living south of town,
sold two nice young mules to San
ders for 5000, the best price, per-
haps, ever paid here for team Of
mules. Mr.. John Jones, living near
Ore Springs, got $500 for a couple
of good mules, sold to Sanders.
There seems to be a greater sur
plus of mules in the county than in
former years, and farmers are real
ling good prices for them.

of a family having over the allotted
amount of flour on hand-that is
one-half bafrel if you live in the
country or one-fourth barrel if you
live in town--to sign the certificate
herein below, after filling out same,
and deliver same to the county food
administrator or the deputy food
administrator for your town at once.
You can copy the certificate and
sign it if you wish | do not think
the government will call for it un-
less they decide you are not using
it in conformity with the rules of
the food department. Some people
think these rules are promulgated
by me and that the government has
nothing to do with it. AS matter of
fact, the government just drafted
me to act as agent to keep you out
of trouble, it being a fine Of as much
as $4,000 for violating the food
laws and everyone should appreciate
any information we can give. The
certificate is as follows:
To County Food Administrator
