There is but one vacant business
house in Huntingdon and there are
but few if any vacant residences,
and two families are occupying sew
eral houses. This is not a bad
record. Huntingdon is all right,
it just needs little touching up
and made more attractive.

Dodds will remodel the house and

will move to the Grizzard property
which he bought last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Wilder
spent few days in Nashville last
week visiting the family of E. T.
Newbill, a brother Of Mrs. Wilder.
Mrs. Newoill was quite critically
ill and died Saturday night. Tu-
burculosis was the cause of the
death. The deceased was men,
Der of the Baptist church, about
80 years old, and survived by her
husband and two children.
w. j. NOEL and family moved
last week to Lexington, where they
will make their future home. Mr..
NoelI's business, being connected
with a wholesale house there,
made it necessary for the family to
move to that town. This family
will be quite an acquisition to Lex
ington and the good people of that
town will find them in every way
worthy OF their highest esteem.
We certainly regret losing them
from Huntingdon.
We received a few days ago an
interesting letter from Mr.. w. G.
Chambers, of Ft. Morgan, Col
orado, an old Carroll county boy,
who is prospecting in the west.
He is a subscriber to the Democrat
and has been for a number of years
and says he greatly appreciates the
paper. He is strong believer in
drainage and good roads and thinks
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1919-02-07

when the soldier boys come home
Carroll county will be forced to
make good roads for they will de-
mand them. Mr.. Chambers now pos
sesses a fine farm and his income
is such that he is expectihg to have
i to come across with an income
tax for 1918. Mr.. Chambers is a
son of M. L. Chambers, of Beuna
/ Vista, and a brother OF Mrs. W.
! 4, Wright, of Huntingdon.
N. w. Martin and family and
Mrs. |. S. Moore moved the latter
part of last week to Milan, where
they will reside in the future.
Mr.. Martin is a travelling salesman
and he decided that owning to
railroad connections Milan would
be more convenient to his trade.
This is a most excellent family and
we regret to lose them from our
town. We take great pleaure in
commencing them to the good
people of Milan, who will find
them in every way worthy of their
confidence and esteem.
Mr.. and Mrs. Denen, residing
on route five, who purchased the
w. II. Holland farm, and came
from Ohio, received the sad intel
ligence a few days ago that their
son, Ralph, who is a member of
Company L, 329 Infantry, was
severely wounded on October 80.
This young man went from Car
roll county in June. The COM
Imunity extend sympathy and trust
that later news will tell Of his
rapid recovery. Mckenzie Ban
ner.
Claude Leach, very prominent
citizen of Atwood, and one of the
rural carriers out from that town,
has. we understand, filed his resig-
nation as rural carrier with the
government, and will move to Nc
Kenzie. Mr.. Leach is a brother
of Clifford Leach, a leading hard
ware dealer in Mckenzie. Mr..
Leach will move to the home of
Joe Mcdonald. which he has pnr-
chased. He will be associated with
Mr.. I. W. Bridges in the produce
business.
When we advanced the price of
the Democrat from 81 90 to $l.50
a year we expected to lose a large
number of subscribers, but we have
been very agreeably surprised.
We have received more new sub
scribers than we have lost old ones,
and our subscription list is larger
now than it was one year ago when
we made the change. The fact
that the price of everything else
has advanced has been accepted
as plausible reason for advancing
the price of the Democrat. The
people as rule are willing to be
fair.
w. H. Eason went to jackson
Monday to assume bis duties as
secretary and treasurer of the
Southern Engine & Boiler Works,

Mr. Eason is a fine business man
and we'll equipped for the position,
We understand the job has a very
fine salary attached and we con-
graduate Mr.. Eason upon being
connected with this company,
which is the largest concern of
the kind in the south. 1t is cap
italized at 100000, the stock being
owned principally by Cleveland,
Ohio, capitalists. Mr.. Ross Teach
out, another Huntingdon boy, is
general manager of this concern.
Mr.. Eason's family will remain
here for a while yet.
