AGAINST THE CONVENTION

In the election held on July 28,
1917, on thequestion of holding a
Constitutional Convention, Putnam
County gave majority Of 1906
against convention, only LA votes
being cast in favor of a convention
in Putnam County The majority
against a convention in this county
was practically as Urge in the cleo
ton held on the anne proposition on
August 3, 1916. 1t is the opinion
many well informed citizens that
the practically solid vote of Putnam
county will be cast against Con-
vention in the election to be held on
Sept. 4th.
Every indication points to the de-
feat of the convention movement
throughout the site by large ma
jority

AGAINST THE CONVENTION.

To The Voters of Putnam County,
We urge upon the voters of Put
nam County, without regard to their
political affiliation, the importance
of voting AGAINST the proposed

spective civil districts is cast against
this Convention scheme.

ent political parties but we are all
of the same opinion with reference

PIc-cLus WORK GROWS IN TEN
NESSEE

Two years ago there were only So
boys enrolled in the pig clubs of Ten
nessee. Since then pigs have be-
come favorite pets among the boys
of the State. In 1918, 42OO pigs were
raised by the club boys, and this fig
ure will be greatly exceeded in 1919.
As far as possible the boys are urg-
ed by the county agents to add corn
work to their pig-club work, and are
discouraged in buying feed when it
Is possible to raise at home. At
the fairs held in Tennessee, no single
type of exhibits has compared in in
terest with the pig-club exhibits.
Pigs exhibited by the boys are fully
up to the best standards of the shows
