The Briar Hill school closed its
past session last Thursday night
with a splendid concert in the
school auditorium with a vast
throng of interested patrons and
friends in the audience. One
popularity about it closing is.
there was no commencement ex-
ercises during the day. But Rev.
Wayne Alliston delivered at IL a.
M, a commencement sermon.
Dinner was spread for all, and
then followed exercises in the
way of speeches by candidates
for county Offices. This took up
most of the afternoon. The main
reason for the lack Of school ex-
ercises for the day is, there had
been so much sickness during the
flu that time was lost so that
full and proper preparations
could not creditably be made for
the usual wind up" day of the
session. Hence that part was
omitted. But those good people
had their fine school on their
hearts and they determined to
remember it in the manner that
they did.

pal and teachers for the 1919

daughter of R. NJ. Laird, of Flor
ence, assistant teacher, and Miss
Mary Kate Butler, daughter Of w.
|. Butler, druggist Of Florence, as
primary teacher. One other is
yet to be chosen.
It is truly gratifying, and the
right thing to do, to select the
teachers from our own midst in
stead Of sending off for strangers
to come and teach our children.
We claim to have as good talent
among our boys and girls as any
other community may. claim for
themselves. The two young la
dies, Misses Laird and Butler are
reflects, they having served the
past session now about to end.
This proves their efficiency as
teachers, and we'll suited to the
position they held. Miss Laird
was graduated from the Woman's
College, Hattiesburg- Miss Butler
was graduated from the I. I. & c.,
both Of these schools being
known throughout the state.
Prof. R. Ernest Steen is the
eldest son of w. D. Steen, very
prominent farmer and a very
prominent citizen Of this section.
He was graduated from Millsaps
in 1912. The writer heard his
delivery and it was a very fine
graduating address and he did
it handsomely. The United States
government employed him, among
several others, to teach schools
in the Philippine Islands for 2
years. Prof. Steen held the posi-
tion Of principal Of the high
school at Bagnio, the summer
capitol Of the Islands. He also
was superintendent Of some ag-
ricultural schools in that section.
When the war broke out he was

July 9th, 1918 and was company
commander at some camp in the
northwest the name not now re-
membered by us--at the time of
the signing Of the armistice. He
was honorably discharged March,
II, 1919. While company COM

Attention Citizens of Brandon.


Decoration Day has been fixed
for Thursday the LIST of May, and
those having lots in the GENE
terry are requested to have them
put in order. It is almost i'm
possible to get labor to clean up
the grounds, but our citizens I'm
sure will overcome this trouble.
Heretofore the town has clean
ed up the general Enclosure, to-
gether with the resting place of
our Confederate dead, but now
conditions have changed; the la
Dor cannot be furnished by the
town, for reasons above, and | am
forced to ask the aid of our citi>
zens, especially of the Veterans,
and sons and daughters of Vet
Grams to help in this patriotic
work. Communities are judged by
the way the cemetery is kept.
Our dead are entitled to consid-
Grafton; lets put their last rest
ing place in order.
To this end an effort will be
made Tuesday morning the Goth,
to clean up the cemetery; if you
can't get hand, come and help,
bring the necessary implements !;
at least such as you have, and
lets give day to "our dead"
Pat Henry, Mayor.
Decoration day will be on
Thursday the 1st Of May. All
veterans, whether affiliated with
the camp or not, and all who
wore the kahaiki in the Spanish
and present war are invited to
join the confederates on that day
in the decoration of the graves Of
our soldier dead; the latter re-
turned soldiers and sailors are
requested to wear their uniforms,
as we hope to make the occasion
a memorial to those who made
the supreme sacrifice. The daugh-
ters and citizens will prepare
luncheon at the court house for
the veterans, and visiting sold
iers and sailors.
We hope to see the camp well
represented, as the veterans will
act as hosts to the younger sol
diers.
The parade will form at the
court house at 1920; the daugh-
tiers leading, followed by the vet
Grams, Spanish war and present
war soldiers and sailors, and
march to the cemetery. The
High School children will fall in
at Owens shop, and will be fol
lowed BY those citizens who will
honor us with their presence.

LAND TRANSFERS
MAKE Big Showing
Real Estate Transfers During
Ten Months Amounted to
Nearly $1,5OO,OOO

A large number of real estate
transfers have been recorded in the
county court clerks Office during
the past ten months. The aggregate
of these transfers amount to nearly
81, 5000 and it shows much
activity in the real estate business
Of the county. Land has increased
in value more rapidly during the
past year than during any one year
in the history of the county, and
we do not believe it has yet gone
as high as it will 90.
Following we give the transfers
for each month for the past ten
months: January, $136, $50; Feb
ruary, $10S. $50; March $l3O, 400;
April, $56, $50; May, $81, $50; June,
$44, 300; July, $751; $50; August,
$751;, 700; September 1922, 800, and
October about $225,00O.
November and December will
likely be good months and the
aggregate for the year will indicate
much activity in land dealing for
the good year 1919.

Buy Land

A special from Camden says:
A real estate deal of more than
usual interest was made here Thurs
day, when S. L. Peeler, R. R.
Melton and w. M. Kincannon
purchased from Joe T. Hester, of
Huntingdon, Ira L. Presson and
q. B. Holiday. of this place, two
lar ge tracts of land adjacent to the
Memphis-to- Bristol highway, seven
miles west of here on Big Sandy
river, the two tracts containing
about $50 acres of rich.timbered
land. On this land is what is
claimed by timber dealers to be
the finest body OF timber on Big
Sandy river. The consideration
was nearly $4,000.

TEACHERS NEEDED
SALARIES TOO Low
Tennessee Experiencing Diff
culties Securing Teachers
for Rural Schools

The state is finding it difficult to
supply the crowded schools in the
state with teachers. The regular
examination for teachers was he'd
in July, and, not securing enough
qualified pedagogues, a supple
mental examination was held in
September, still this extra ex-
animation did not produce suffi-
Gent teachers, and third exam
ination has been called for Deem
Der.
While there are many teachers
taking examination and qualifying,
when it comes to working for the
salaries paid county teachers in
Tennessee they decline the jobs
and accept positions in trade amp
industry, which are more rename
ratiVe.
There will be no less than fifteen
or twenty schools in Carroll county
short of teachers this winter Or
at least that is the indication at
this time. On account of the
salaries paid teachers here some of
our teachers have gore to other
counties and others have entered
other lines of business.

GETS TWENTY YEARS
WILDER CONVICTED
The Jury Was Out Only a Few
Hours and Brings in Yer
dict Of Guilty

The Wilder murder case resulted
in a conviction of murder in the
second degree and the penalty was
fixed at twenty years in the peni-
Tertiary.
The jury got the case Saturday
night about 6 o'clock, and between
8 and 10 o'clock brought in a ver-
dict. The verdict was received
and the jury discharged.
This case was taken up Thurs
day and the remainder of the week
given to the hearing. 1t was a
hard fought battle. The state was
represented by ex-Gov. Tom G.
Rye, acting attorneys general, and
J. Sam johnson. while George T.
Mccall and Capt. Gordon Brown
ing represented the defendant.
Every inch of the ground was con-
tested, and strong and eloquent
speeches were made to the jury.
July, 1913, over six years ago,
Dave Wilder, who lived a short
distance west of town, in a fit of
passion, shot his mother-in-law,
Mrs. John Green, killing her in
stantly, and fired shot at his own
wife, Mrs. Green's daughter, who,
in a faint, fell to the ground, and
the murderer left the scene, think
ing both were dead.
5. G. Alden was then sheriff and
made dilligent search for Viii
der, but failed to locate him. He
retired from Office, bis time having
expired. Sheriff Kirk was elected
and served four years. and Alden
was again elected. Upon assam
ing Office he renewed his efforts to
find Wilder and bring him to trial.
He was located 10 Michigan, aHd
after a hard fight with the Mich
gan officers and friends, who tried
to have him retained under habeas
corpus and luacy proceedings, he
finally reached Huntingdon with
his man.
At the time of the killing Gov.
Rye was attorney general and the
grand jury, under his direction,
found an indictment against Will
der, charging murder in the first
degree. Mr.. Rye resigned his
Office as Encouragement and was
elected governor of his state. After
serving two terms he retired from
office, returned to his home in
Paris and entered the practice of
