JEWELL STAFF
WINS BANNER.
Liberty Ron

The rain of Thursday night of last
week, and the miserable condition of
the roads, kept large number of
citizens from enjoying the hospitali-
ty of Jewell Odd Fellows who had
killed the fatted calf and prepared
great feast for their expected visi-
tors attending the anniversary cele-
bration of the Weakley county |. 0.
F. Association, which met at Jewell
last Friday. April 26 is the ami
versary of the advent Of the order
in America, and the county associa-
ton has always observed the event
at some place. The good citizens of
Jewell had prepared an abundance
Of dinner and supper for their visi-
tors-enough to feed 1000 people
as Jewell usually does.
Owing to the roads being muddy
and slippery, many were kept away.
None of the speakers could get con-
veyances out and there was no speak
ing, the day being spent in social
way; but at night, in the hall, the
jewell and the Salem degree teams
put on some of the finest degree
work ever witnessed, working in the
Third degree. 1t was a close con-
test, both teams being we'll up and
we'll drilled and it was with much
difficulty the judges awarded the
handsome banner, which went to the
Jewell team. JEWELS grade was 81 |
and Salem's 80 2-3. Jewell won the |
banner several years ago in con-
test. That lodge has a we'll organ
lied degree staff which does some
pretty work.
Five lodges were represented and
the delegates voted to change the
meeting day to the first Saturday in
May, but did not choose place for
the next meeting. This will be done
by a meeting of representatives of
all the lodges.

Auto Accident

Auto Accident
An automobile accident occurred
here Sunday afternoon in front of
the Moran residence, where the
large car driven by Mrs. Herachel
Johnson ran into John Taylor's car,
the latter car being considerably
damaged, Mrs. Johnson was just
learning to drive a new Studebaker
car. The cars met at the corner,
when the collision took place. None
of the occupants of either car were
injured, nor was the Johnson car
damaged to any great extent.
Red Letter Day
Saturday was red letter day in
Martin for the Red Cross and Y. NJ.
C. A. Following the big rains, which
made land too wet to work, a large
of farmers assembled in Mar
tin, and the ladies representing both
the above named organizations took
advantage of the opportunity to Of
fer a number of articles for sale at
auction, the sales netting the Y. NJ.
CA. SIS, $50 and the Red Cross $500
1t is encouraging and most gratifying
to note the increasing liberality with
which our good people respond to
the calls of these two noble organi-
cations for funds with which to carry
on their good work among the SOL
diers. And we are sure the boys in
the trenches will fight bitter when
they know the folks back home are
standing so solidly behind them.

HOW THEY CATCH TRAINS
in ST. PETERSBURG

This recent discussion regarding
the time of trains which is different
from the time used in st. Petersburg
the Rambler Is reminded of the story
of the negro who was walking along
the street alongside a jail. In the
window of the Jail was prisoner.
The prisoner called out to the man or
the sidewalk:
"Hey, man, what time is it?"
"Whut difference does dat make to
your" inquired the negro. "You
amt gwine nowhere"
So, with most of the residents OF
st. Petersburg. They are not "gwine
nowhere" If they do intend to make
journey by train and If they haven't
gumption enough to figure out the
difference between railroad time and
city time, they will not miss the train.
They will merely arrive an hour too
soon and can then rest peacefully on
bench and wait for the train to
start.
Most persons 60 to the depot an
hour or so before train time, anyhow.
At least those who are accustomed
to travel by train make 1t habit to
get there we'll in advance of the time
Of departure of trains. The Rambler
has known persons to get up al 4 a
m. to be certain to catch train leav-
ing at 6 and it is only the expert
enced traveller who loiters in the de-
pot few minutes before the sched-
uled time of departure of train. The
present governor of Kentucky, A. 0.
Stanley, is one of those men who is
wonder at getting there just iii time.
His record, of which he is proud, Is
that he never missed a train and new
err yet boarded one until it was NOV
ing out of the station. He has lost
two hats, desperately chasing trains
that were moving out of his home
town but he never failed to be able
to swing onto the back platform OF
the last coach. Most of. us, however,
take no such chances and the few
trips we make by train we arrive iii
plenty of time so that if, by any
chance, the train starts half. an hour
early we will be there to get on it.

ISSUES PROCLAMATION
CONCERNING BIG EVENT

The Farmers National Congress an(
the National Farm Women's Congress
reld in conjunction with the Pan
American international Farm anc
Live Stock Exposition and the Florida
State Fair and Exposition, to be nelo
in Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 80 lnciu
siye, represents a worthy, progressive
element, which is of great Value 10
agricultural interests of this and otn'
err nations and comprises an organlza
ton that is responsible for marked
advancement in the farming enter
prises of the United States.
The Importance of the coming SEES
sions is emphasized in the recognition
il receives from National and Inter
national bodies, and in the fact that
the Congress Of the United States by
Federal Statute has authorized the
president to select delegates from for
eign nations to be present, and con-
sequently, Jacksonville and Florida
Justly feel pride in the selection Oh
the Metropolis of this Commonwealth
as the city which is to entertain the
delegates to the Congress.
Jacksonville is far-tamed for its nos
pitality it's beauty and varied points
of interest Florida is known the
world over for it's balmy cline, and
the fertility of its soil. At this par
ticular time when millions of people
are realizing the imperativeness OF
increased food production, and when
the fields of agriculture are more in
viting than at any previous time in
the worlds history, it is doubly i'm
portant that such a great gathering
should be held in a section which has
given such evidence of agricultural
ascendancy, and when visual lessons
are furnished through the medium Of
the Florida State Fair.
Regardless of the outcome OF peace
negotiations, the United States must
for many years play an important
part in feeding most of the nations Of
this earth. The problem is fraught
with golden promises of success. The
Congress will result in untold value
to every section Of our country. Many
Of the most distinguished man of
America and foreign countries will
participate in the deliberations, ard
resulting therefrom will be new IDEAS,
new progress, new methods, all con
tributing to greater profit to individ-
uals.
This Congress, while having partic
ular bearing on those engaged in food
production, will have great interest
en- manufacturers and foreign trade,
the worlds commerce after the war,
the question Of marketing.
Consequently, as the chief executive
OF the City of Jacksonville, a munici
pality of 125,OOO people, I extend
greetings to the people Of the United
States and assure each and evory de-
egate and all visitors genuine
Southern welcome. The various
committees chosen to look after en-
will perform their dn

Of the coming occasion,
