HAVID DeLAINE found the con-
dition of affairs well-nigh
uncomfortable.
He was too much perturbed to re-
turn to his hotel when he had left
Miss Bristols hospitable home. To
go to bed and to sleep would be out
of the question. Something must
be done-but what that something
was he did not know.
1t was useless for him to try to
argue with himself, as he would
have argued with another man.
He was now Independently veal
thy: the war was over: he had done
his share; his, health, which had
been menaced. was almost COM
pletely restored. Three months ago
all these things combined would
have made him very happy.
Now they seemed less than moth
ing when he reflected on Desiree's

despised him. She would always
refuse to meet him.
In the excited state of his mind
he may have exaggerated facts.
Yet, even had he been more calm.
he would have been forced to ad-
NIT that the girl he loved thought
him capable of agreeing to the
terms of his aunts will. To this
nef he odl

liberately entered her fathers en-

When she discovered his identity
she might even think he had done
this with the secret plan OF winning
her affections and thus becoming
heir to his aunt's fortune.
He clenched his hands and swore
softly to himself for a fool. He also
said violent things about Aunt
Jeanne's fortune. He wished that it

ries were to her in the abode of
departed spirits.
David walked northward for two
hours before turning his steps to-
ward his hotel Baltimore's beau
tiful streets lay quite silent in the
pale moonlight as he slowed his
pace and looked about him.
Until now he had hardly paid
any heed to his surroundings. He
felt suddenly very tired from his
rapid walk.
He had reached a decision and
the reaction had set in. A great
depression engulfed him.
Nevertheless, as he was young
and healthy, he slept heavily when
he went to bed. In the morning,
the bell-boy had to knock and call
several times before he could make
David understand that it was $50

was to be called.

to which he took scant appetite

Friday, July %, to consider the
road question. with the idea Of is
suing road bonds. A warm ses-

Clement has overruled the former
motion to call a special election on

Benton county has a pretty hot
fight on the road question, and we
hope it will be settled in such a
way that the Memphis-to. Bristol
highway will be taken care of and

BORE FOR OIL
Effort to Find Oil on State Prop
erty at ReelfoOt Lake

At conference held Saturday
between Gov. A. H. Roberts and
t. 0. Morris. Of Obion county, all
arrangements for the lease of the
Reelfoot Lake property to w. H.
Newberry, an oil magnate of Texas,
we're completed. Under the terms
of the contract with the state Mr..
Newberrv agrees to begin drilling
for oil in six months. For this
property he is to pay the state
$4,000 year, but in the event
he finds oil in commercial quanti-
ties the state is to receive one
eighth part Of the oil. The lease
calls for $4,000 acres. Under the
terms of the contract Mr.. New
berry is to perfect all guarantees
before beginning operations. He
agrees to drill to a depth Of 5000
feet if necessary in search for the
oil. The first well must be COM
pleted BY September |, 1920, and
there must under no circumstances
be any interference with the fish.
log in the lake.
Mr.. Morris represents Mr.. New
berry's interest and also the inter-
est of the West Tennessee Land
Company, concern that has leased
several thousand acres of land
adjacent to the lake to Mr.. New
berry.
Mr.. Morris agrees on behalf of
Mr.. Newberry to all the terms of
the contract, thus safeguarding
the states interest, and it only re-
mains now to secure the signature
of Mr.. Newberry to the instru-
ment. The Texas banks will be
asked to guarantee Mr.. Newberry's
financial standing.
Under the terms Of the contract
Mr.. Newberry will be privileged
to drill on land or in the lake.

Upton Comes Across

Success of the Memphis-to- Bris-
tol highway was given increased
assurance when Upton county
voted a $l50,O0O bond issue for
good roads last week. OF this
sum 100000 will be expended on a
mile stretch. of the Bristol
highway, which runs through the
southeastern corner of the county.
Fayette county has not vet pro-
yided for the eleven miles of the
proposed route. which runs through
a remote corner of that county,
but it is believed she will do SO
before long. Then the entire route
through West Tennessee will be
provided for with the exception of
Benton county.

The next stage in the Methodist

ment near Easter Of next year, for
which preparations are now under
way.
The centenary organization will
be utilized and much the same
methods will be employed as in

The week of August 243l is to
be observed as enlistment week, !"
during which an effort will be
made to sign up much of the Meth
odist membership in the fellow

FINE SCHOOL SPIRIT
Much interest IN High Schools
Of County

The County High School Board
held an enthusiastic get-to-gether
meeting last Monday. The county
superintendent had asked the high
schools Of the county to send to
this meeting representatives that
the high school situation in the
county might be gone over, dis
cussed and plans suggested for
more efficient work in the future.
Each school had a strong delega-
ton here, and among them we're
some of our very best citizens,
which speaks well for our school
interest.
The situation was gone over
very thoroughly, the needs of the
various schools discussed. and i'm
proyements, wherever possible,
suggested. A fine spirit was man
Tested and much interest was
shown in the success of the schools
represented
1t is very gratifying to fods SO
many of our very best citizens

with the school work of the county.
This argues well for our schools,
but it is no more than it should
be, for no interest is more vital
than that of the education of the
children of our county.

transacted during the sessions that
were held. Rev. Sullivan, the pre-

sided.
1t was expected that the location
of the district parsonage would be
settled, but it was not. There was
a proposition of the Lexington
people made to the conference in
which they offered to give two
thousand dollars if the church out
