HOGS SALVAGE
DAMAGED WHEAT

When a hail storm came crashing
ing through Saltwater county, and
beat $4,000 acres of choicest wheat
into the ground just a few weeks be-
fore harvest, it left some discouraged
farmers. It looked like a total loss,
aside from the limited state hail in
surance carried. Saltwater county,
however. was fortunate in having a
farm bureau and a live county agent.
An executive committee meeting OF
the farm bureau was held at once, and
it was decided that most of the wheat
could be saved if hogs could be Sc
cured to clean up to fields. The coun-
ty agent Immediately got busy hog
hunting" among the other bureaus Of
the state, and the president of the
county bureau went to Helena to get
the State Council of Defense to au-
thorize the advance payment Of 50 per
cent of the hail insurance money to
help finance the purchase of the hogs.
Roth efforts were successful. The
agent in Saltwater county Inspected
and accepted the hogs, they were
shipped direct to the Saltwater coun-
tv farmers, and 1900 head. were put
to work salvaging the damaged wheat.

MEN NEEDED HERE
War Department Cables Pershing to Take
Steps. Must Furnish Evidence Of Re-
quTed Presence at Home.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Gen. Per-
shing has been authorized by the
War Department to send home for
immediate discharge from the army
any drafted or enlisted man who pre-
sents convincing evidence of sickness
or other distress in his family.
The department announced that
men may make their own request for
discharge, or the request may be
direct to Gen. Pershing by letter or
cable by a member of the soldiers
family or other interested, respea-
sible persons, accompanied by suffi-
cient testimony that sickness or other
distress exists.
Gen. Pershing also has been au-
thorized to discharge in Europe on
their own application men who have
good reasons for leaving the army
and who waive any claim to sea
travel allowances from Europe to
the United States.
Men so discharged will be paid
travel allowances from atheir station
in Europe to the port of embarka-
ton and fom Hoboken, N. Y, to the
place of enlistment, or induction into
the service.
These instructions apply to en-
listed or drafted men who entered
the service after April l, 1917. Men
who entered the service before that
date may be furloughed to the United
States when sickness or distress in
the soldiers family is clearly indi-
Gated.

will be given only in exceptional

MINISTER RUN DOWN
BY TRAIN AT MARTIN
Rev. ". B. Clifton Suffers Loss Of Left
Foot Above Ankle, At Martini Weak
From Great Loss Of Blood.

While en- route to the depot in
Martin last Saturday morning to
board the early train for Dresden,
Rev. W. B. Clifton, a highly esteem
ed Baptist minister, of Martin, was
run down by a freight train,
suffering the loss of his left foot,
which was severed just above the
ankle.
Rev. Clifton was crossing the side
tracks west of the station at Martin.
He stepped out of the way of one
train and did not notice another
backing toward him. No one saw the
accident and the injured man made
no outcry, and he was later found by
a train man, lying upon his back,
the wound bleeding profusely. He
was quite weak from the loss of
blood.
Help was summoned and Bro. Cliff
ton was carried to DIR. Hannings' Of
flee and the wound dressed. He re-
NAMED unconscious for several hours
and, on account Of his natural weak
ened condition and from the loss Of
blood, his recovery was at first
thought doubtful.
Rev. Clifton is one of the ablest
men in the Baptist church. A num-
Der of years ago he developed tu-
bercular trouble and went to Arizona
for special treatment. While there
his right arm was amputated as a
cure for the tubercular trouble. He
regained his health and came back to
Tennessee, locating at Martin.
For the past two or three years
his health has not been good, and
during the past year he lost his wife
The host of friends of this good
man deeply deplore this terrible &C.
cident and pray for his early and
complete recovery.

SOLDIERS URGEDTO
KEEP UP INSURANCE

An important meeting of Red
Cross representatives was held at
Martin this week, the object of which
was to urge discharged soldiers to
keep up their insurance policies.
1t seems that it is the custom for
the men to drop their insurance as
soon as discharged from the service,
and the Red Cross has inaugurated
a campaign for the purpose of urg-
ing them not to allow these policies
to lapse. The rate of insurance is
the cheapest in the world. 1t is easy
to pay, and the men will be urged
to continue the insurance, the gov
eminent having made arrangements
to carry this insurance at the spec
ial low rate.
Most of these men will soon be
home owners, and the insurance will
then be worth more to them than
now.

TWO DORMITORIES
FOR HALL-MOODY

The campaign in this county to
raise Baptist educational funds is
progressing with wonderful results.
West Tennessee must raise 100000
and a goodly portion has been sub
scribed. The campaign will contin-
ue until next Sunday night. Of the
Sum $4,000 goes to Hall-Moody,
at Martin, to liquidate the indebted
ness against the school. When this
is done it is almost an assured fact
that loyal citizens of Martin will
build and equip two large dormito-
ries for Hall-Moody, where the en-
rollment is increasing rapidly. Since
Christmas so new students have been
,cnvy He'd, and enlarged facilities are
necessary if the school does what it
proposes to do.

SAYS ACT IS UN-
CONSTITUTIONAL

At the recent term of Chancery
court here, Chancellor Holmes, when
petitioned to confirm the appoint
ments of deputies for register, de-
clined to do so, declaring that it was
his belief the act putting county
officials upon a salary is unconsti-
tutional, and the petition was con-
tinued to the next term, pending a
decision by the supreme court, where
the constitutionality of the act is
being attacked.
The last legislature placed all
county officials in counties having
population Of 10000 and over
upon salaries, Weakley county being
among the number. The act was con-
tested in some county and the case
carried before the higher tribunal
