PAYING, ON THE PRINCIPAL at
any annual interest period.
AS rule farmers do mot care 20
cucumber their land with q long term
mortgage without the privilege of re
paying the entire loan in a reasonable
length of time. Many sales have been
prevented because the borrowers have
been unable to obtain a release of the
mortgage before maturity without the
payment of heavy bonus. Under the
option in our mortgage papers THE
BORROWER CAN REPAY THE EN-
TIRE LOAN, Or A PORTION OF
1T, AT ANY INTEREST PERIOD,
if he desires to do SO.
Loans are MADE ONLY ON M
PROVED FARM LAMBS.
In estimating the value Of land, it's
productive capacity is taken as basis
while its nearness to market, accessi-
bility to roads and turnpikcs, neigh
borhoOd, ETC., are also considered.
The partial payment privilege. and

Brains are like fiddles-The more
they are used the better they get.
Man comes into the world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will.
During his stay on earth, his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and misunderstanding
In his infancy he is an angel; in
his boyhood he is a devil and in his
manhood he is everything from Q liz
ard up.
! In his duties he is a damn fool 49,
If he raises family he is a chunp.
If he raises check he is a thief
and the law raises hell with hif1s. If he
is a poor man he is a poor manager
and has no sense. If he is rich he is
dishonest, but considered smart. If he
is in politics he is a CRATER and a
crook. If he is out of politics You can
place him as an undesirable citizen.
! IF he goes to church he is a hypocrite.
If he stays at home he is sinner.
| If he donates for Foreign Missions
he does it for show. If he doesn't he
is tight wad-

RURAL CARRIERS
HOLD MEETING

A meeting of the Smith County
Rural Route Carriers Association was
held in the court house at Carthage
last Thursday. After the usual routine
of business had been transacted the
association proceeded to elect officers
for the ensuing year. A. c. Jones was
reelected president; W. NJ. Blair was
chosen president in the place of
Calvin Gregory, resigned, and J. E.
Askew was reelected secretary and
treasurer.
Smith County has fifteen rural
route carriers, all of whom are mem
bers of the organization except three
The secretary of the state organiza-
ton is now working to perfect an or
ganlzatlon of the carriers of Trous-
dale and Jackson Counties It is the
purpose of this organization to have
meetings at intervals to discuss the
problems that are continually con-
fronting the carriers and in these dis
cussions and exchanging of ideas, it
IS hoped that the carriers may be able
to dispatch their duties more efficient
ly. Too, 1t has been largely through
the organization that the carriers have
persuaded the department at Wash
ington to allow them more zconpensa-
ton for their services, and the recent
raise in compensation to the carriers
Is traced directly to the efforts of the
organization.
The next meeting Of the Smith
County Association will be held May
31st, at which time it is hoped every
carrier viii be present and member
of the organization.

WILDCAT KILLED
IN TROUSDALE

Huntsville, Tenn, Nov. 29.-(Spe-
cial. IA strange animal. supposed
to be wildcat or 'bobcat," was killed
Friday near the home of Fl. C. Hall,
a prominent farmer living about three
miles west Of town. The animal was
freed during the day by dogs belong
ing to Robert Carter, and was dis
lodged from the tree and killed by the
dogs after hard fight. About year
ago Mr.. Carter caught an animal
something similar to this one in a
trap not far from where this one was
caught. Mr.. Hall also shot and killed
another one near his home two or
three years ago. 1t is thought that
the wildcats have g den on the high
bluffs some distance from the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Hall, and from there
come forth to prey upon poultry and
pigs, as Mr.. Hall, and possibly others
in that section. have lost many chick
ems and pigs from unknown causes.
the losses heretofore being attributed
to foxes, of which there are many in
that section. The animal killed Friday
was nearly three feet from tip to tip,
and was two or three times as large
as an ordinary house cat and of a
broWnish gray color.

POUNDING OF METH
ODIST PREACHER

There are times when It is good to
be a preacher and a preachers wife
and one of the times is during a
pounding or shower
All the dread and inconvenience of
moving and the parting with old
friends is temporarily forgotten when
the kindness and hospitality of new
friends bursts out in shower of good
things.
To say that we were surprised
would not correctly express it, because
of the time honored custom of pound
ing, but we were not expecting to be
the happy recipients of so many good
and useful things. Nothing cheers the
hearts of an humble preacher and his
family more than the thoughts Of that
grateful spirit which always prompts
one to give. May this splendid ex-
preston of gratitude never die but
live on in the spirit Of Him who said,
I'm as much as We have done II unto
one of the least Of these, ye have done
it unto me-"
Thankfully yours,
REV. and MRS. S. r. BRATCHER.

its oldest and most highly respected
citizens in the death of Mr.. James
W. Turner, whose death occurred at
his home in Carthage last Tuesday

of 80 years, and though he has been
in declining health for the past few
years, he had not suffered from any
serious illness until Wednesday Of last
week when he was suddenly strickeR
with an ailment from which he never
rallied. He was an upright Christian
gentleman and enjoyed the utmost
confidence and esteem of all with
whom he came in contact.
Mr.. Turner was born at Brush

ten years he lived at Willette, he was
citizen of Smith County, making his
home at Brush Creek ard New

Smiths Grove, Kentucky, survive him.
Funeral services were conducted at
the residence last Wednesday morning
by Revs. Smother1nan and Bratcher.

to New Middleton for interment.
Mr.. Turner was indeed a good man
and during the few months he resided
in Carthage he made a large number
of friends who join the many other
friends throughout the county in ex-
tending sympathy to the family IN
their bereavement.
