WONDERFUL BARGAIN.

Joe M. Threadgill, who sold his
land holdings near Hurop, yea1 III

tds6IEs A. unuap1Ily lnofSI
III the purchase of other land b Ma.
ison county. The land purchased by
Mr.. T!readgill lies on creek, about
four miles North of Beech Bluff and
comprises 256 acres. In addition to
the land, for the consideration of
$5,500.00 cash, Mr.. Threadgill also be-
came the owner Of the following per-
sonal property right on the land: 100
barrels corn, 100 bushels sweet pota-
tees, one mare, three mules, four
cows and two calves, II head hogs
(all stock registered or entitled to
registration) and four tons Of hay,
bailed and in the barn. The seller is
peculiar man, who tried to sell to
Thrsadgill last year for 100000, but
had less personal property on hand
to go with it. 1t is said that the SELL
er reserved nothing except two hogs,
his chickens and household goods.
There is a fine orchard on the place

THE BANNER-THE
TREATY-SEN. SHIELDS,

The Nashville Banner thought the
peace treaty would have been bettered
by reservations, but i has. stood by
wilson and would have accepted the
treaty as it was written at Versailles.
The Banner has skinned Lodge COM
ing and going and few days ago ac-
cused him of heading conspiracy
yet in news items and editorials it
defends Senator Shields and believes
he is perfectly sincere in voting with
all the Republican Senator'S Except
McCumber) and few Democrats for
ratification of the treaty with fifteen
reservations. Shields may be sim
cere-we do not know; but in the
light of former tricks played. by the
Senator, we have our doubts.
When he became so very indepen-
dent in 1910 that he wanted Demo-
cratic judges already nominated to
throw up their nominations and run
independent, he might not have been
sincere. When he gave it out from
Washington through Bob Gates, that
no man need apply to him for en-
dorsement for Federal office without
first signifying that he was done with
fusion in Tennessee, he was not sim
cere and by his own actions gave the
lie to his own words, for the first
man he indorsed after that was Jeff
McCarn, rabid independent and fu-
sionist. We guess Jonkay has just
got another spell of independence.

hrated the 74th anniversary Of his
birth and Il he lives until next Febfu-
airy the 25th he and his good wife will

 SOUTH IN DISORDER

Fl Paso, Tex, June 23.-Villa's forces were scattered, his men ex- hausted and many were dismounted and without rifles or ammunition when they passed through Samalay- uca and San Jose Saturday, going west from the railroad, said ranch CT who arrived here today. He said many of the Villa men were without shoes and all were hungry. The wounded were being carried in wag- ons and on cowhide filters slung be- tween two horses. These wounded, the rancher said, were being taken to San Morenzo, 75 miles southwest of Villa Ahumada, where Villa had es- tablished hospital for his wounded prior to the battle of Juarez
 He confirmed the presence of the federal troops at Villa Ahumada and said the Villa column had headed west toward Casas Grandes, leaving the railroad south of Samalayuca. Will la was making an effort to reorgan- ize his columns to prevent General Pablo Quertno's cavalry attacking it in the rear but the Villa forces were badly demoralized following the American pursuit he said.

 FRANCHISE REPEAL
St. Louis Street Car Officials Accused of RObbing Safe of
 Referendum Petitions.

St. Louis, Mo-, June 23.-Richard Mccullough, president of the United Railways company, of St. Louis to- day was charged with burglary in the second degree and larceny in con- nection with the theft, June 15, 1918, of referendum petitions against the street car company's franchise ordi- nance in an information issued by Circuit Attorney Lawrence McDaniel. The circuit attorney also announced the case would be taken before the grand jury tomorrow.
 McCulloch, whose salary was $25,- 900 year, shortly afterwards an- nounced his resignation as operating manager of the street car company. Bruce Cameron, superintendent of transportation of the company, who already is under indictment on bur- glary and larceny charge in connect ion with the theft of the petitions, also rendered his resognation. Both were accepted by Receiver Rolla Wells.
 The charges against McCulloch grew out of testimony given last week by J. C. Jackson at hearing in receivership, that McCulloch or dered the burglary and discussed the plans with him. James l.. Brady, confidential agent of the company, testified that McCulloch sent $500 by him to Jackson, who was in charge of the burglary.
 A safe in the offices of the refer endum league was blown on June 15, IL. T. son testified at the hearing that he arranged the details of the robbery at the direction of McCulloch and that he brought three safe blowers from Chicago to do the work.
