FARMER WHO DISAPPEARED
MISTERIOUSLY BACK HOME

Huntingdon, Tenn, Oct. 1s.-Henry
Neeman, the farmer from the Tenth
district who suddenly disappeared
some days ago, has returned home,
coming in unannounced and relieving
the anxiety of his family who were
greatly agitated by his unexplained
absence. He claims that he went to
Dallas Texas, remaining there eleven
hours and returning home. It will be
remembered that he came to Hunting
don with neighbor, Mr.. Edwards,
who could not find him when he was
read to return home. The mule rid
den by to town by Mr.. Neeman re-
manned tied to the hitching post
where it was tied by Mr.. Neeman
when he arrived in town in the morn
ing until sometime the next day,
when members of the family came to
town looking for Mr.. Neeman. Mr..
Neeman says he told Mr.. Edwards to
take care of his mule but Mr.. Ed
wards did not hear him. His people
had no word from him to relieve
their anxiety until he came back home
and knew nothing of his where
abouts.

CAMPAIGN FOR THE
ROOSEVELT FUND.

r. C. Thomas, state director OF the
Roosevelt Memorial Association, an
nounced the complete organization IN
charge of the campaign to be conduct
ed in Tennessee, simultaneously with
like drives to be held all over the
country, during the week of Oct. 20
to 81.
The campaign differs widely from
other drives that have been held and
that are now being held, in that it has
for its ultimate aim the perpetuation
of an ideal.
Governor Roberts says: "Mr. Roos-
evelt was real, genuine American Of
the truest type, and am glad to show
my appreciation of his Americanism
in every way possible" The same SEN
timent is shared by all American men
and women. Party affiliatien, race
and creed are forgotten. The things
on which we differed from Theodore
Roosevelt are submerged in the fact
that we stand ready to honor, not the
memory Of our erstwhile President.
not the work of a splendid thinker
and executive, not the writings of the
forced exponent of national and inter-
national relationships but the men,
ory of an American citizen who left
us the immortal saying: Zone flag,
the American flag; one language, the
language of the Declaration of indie
pendence; one loyalty, loyalty to the
American people" He not only left
this glorious thought, but exemplified
it in all the glory Of his life among US.
The Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton was organized in New York City
on March oath, 1919, by non-partis-
an committee Of Col. Theodore Roose-
velt's friends who laid the foundation
for a campaign to obtain a minimum
Of $4,000, 900 from millions of sub
scribers who are true Americans. The
organization is to provide memorials
in accordance with the plans of the
