Salvation Army Quota Falls Short.

Only $3.50 of the $1,000 fund
which the committee hoped to col
lect during the week campaign has
been pledged. Committees are
working throughout the county and
the total will be swelIed when the
reports from each are made, but it
is not expected that the quota Of
$4,000 which was given to Grant
county will be collected. Rev. S.
P. Jones, chairman of the COM
mites e, stated that the failure was
undoubtedly due to lack Of organic
ed effort and to the fact that the
people Of the county have had funds
during the war collected as taxes
There is now about 81, 500 in county
funds. The county commissioners
will decide what is to be done with
this fund at the next meeting,
which takes place on Tuesday Oct.

FARMERS MEETING
FEBRUARY 18TH

1t has been some time sinece we
have announced to the public farm
ers' meeting to discuss farm condi-
tions. In the past Weakley county
farmers have had many pleasant oc-
casions together at Institutes and
Short Courses. At this time we have
information that Prof. Keffer is COM
ing to Weakley county soon and ar
rangements are under way to have
an all-day meeting of farmers, bus
ness men, club boys and all others
interested in coming. Plans are laid
to perfect on that day permanent
County Improvement organization,
to be composed of a strong central
organization and a great number Of
community organizations.
We want to ask every citizen in
Weakley county to think of this COM
ing event and be with us on this oc-
casion. We are made up of a peo-
pie that believes that there is always
room for improvement, no matter
how great a success we have made
and to get an organization of this
kind in working order will be a great
thing for any county. Watch for a
full program in next weeks paper.

Why Don't You Get 1t?

A business-tobaccO man asked this
question the other day, Chow many
men in east Weakley county, and
especially those that travel the Paris
road, know that the road from Dres-
den to Ore Spring is entitled to be
kept in good shape at the expense
of the automobile taxi" Certainly,
the men don't know this, or else they
would get busy and find out why
they are not getting their road main
tanned at no expense to them. Good
roads are valuable assets. If you go
to buy a farm on the side of we'll
maintained road you will at once
learn how valuable they are from a
point of dollars.
