SARDIS

A party composed of twenty-seven
young people, of Sardis, took evening
dinner, at Shady Grove Spring, July
10th.
The young people were delighted to
have as their chaperon, DR. J. T. Kee-
ton and wife, and Mr.. Watts, of Tn
ion City. who is visiting Mr.. Scott
Little, of Sardis, and who was a COM
rade of Mr.. Little during the Span
ish- American war.
1t has been a custom Of the boys
and girls of Sardis to take dinner at
Shady Grove Spring, for several
years--having gone there about this
time last year to bid farewell to the
boys who were going into the service
of the u. S. Army,

APPLEBY A CANDIDATE.

Trustee W. F. AppIeby is a candi-
date for reelection, subject to the
votes of the people in the Republican
primary, the date of which has not
yet been fixed,
SO far as we know and believe, Mr.,
Appleby is making the county an
honest and capable official and,
speaking for ourself in what we con
slider intimate knowledge of his char
acter, we are perfectly willing to
trust him with every dollar the coun-
ty receives from all sources. He has
served the county for several years in
three capacities of Clerk of the Cir
cult Court, County Judge and Trustee
and il there is blemish on his rec
ord, we arc not aware Of it, He says
now, in view Of the movement to
spend $500 in Investigation of the
books of all county officials, covering
the period of five years, that his
records as Trustee are not only open
to whomsoever may desire to in
spct them, but when an investigation
is put on, he will personally pay the
expense consumed by the auditor dur
ing the time required to unravel any
discrepancy that may be found on his
books. In other words, as Trustee,
Mr.. Appleby is right square out in
the open and instead of stunning
courts investigation OF the manner in
which he has handled the funds made
up of the hard-earned money of the
people
Mr.. Appleby will appreciate the
vote Of any and every man allowed by
the rules to participate in the Repub-
liean primary.

IRE.

A member of the Fire Prevention
Commission was in our town last
week on business in CONGESTION with
the department and called at our Of
flee. While this is not a new depart
ment, of the State government, it is
not old. This Commission was Great
ed in 1915 and has since steadily
grown. Now it is composed Of a Com
missioner of Fire Prevention and
eight deputy Commissioners, who are
located in various parts of the State.
The object of the Commission is not
to punish those who commit arson,
but to lookout for and remove the
conditions that cause fires and warn
the public against the careless han
ding of destructive element.
Millions, even billions, of dollars of
wealth are lost each year in our coun-
try by preventable fires, which sta
tistics show occur at the rate of1050
per hour.
Our State realizes this and is Of
feriug protection against these mat
ters through the Fire Prevention
Commission and it is the duty of
every good citizen to cooperate with
the department in its work and we
feel that the people Of Henderson
county arc going to do their part.

cases sons of fathers whose names

that feeling Of sympathy and friend

JACKSON PHYSICIANS AGREE
TO RAISE FEES.

Jackson, Tenn, July lsth.-At a

unanimously agreed that fees should
be raised for both day and night Wis
its, the former being raised from 81
to So and the latter from S4 to So.
No action was taken as to increasing
the fees on visits to the rural dis

increase is made necessary because Of
the high cost of living and that the
figures agreed upon correspond fairly
well with the remuneration received
in other lines at the present time.

GARDENING HELPING THE

Atlanta, Ga, July %, 19l9.-Gar-
dening is being used successfully as a
cure for wounded soldiers at General
Hospital No. Six, Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia.
Early in the spring the Red Cross
expended few dollars to plant seeds
in Red Cross flower and vegetable
gardens near the post At first the
idea was merely to beautify the
grounds, but it has had more material
effects.
"We have been well-rewarded for
what we spent" says Leon R. Mead
ows, Of the Red Cross at Fort Nc
Pherson. The boys from the psy-
chatric wards who have been work
ing these gardens recently sent us
large baskets of beans, peas, onions,
cabbages and other vegetables.
However, the real value Of the
gardens was in getting the boys out
in the open and taking their minds
off their troubles. One boy in partic-
ular. who was considered almost
hopeless by the ward surgeon three
months ago, is now almost entirely
well: he, the purse and the ward sur
geon attribute his recovery to the /
work which he did in the Red Cross
Garden. And this is only one Of
large number of cases gardening has
helped"

structure that curved over toward the
dam and into the wind. which was
blowing pretty strongly down stream.
They were all tubular and were built
up from the inside by the bursting
OF bubbles that rose through the tubes.
II was evideat that the rush Of water
carried air with it under the hood Of
Ice and that this air found vent here
and there In the form of bubbles,
which. bursting. gradually built up
those vertical columns. Each unfin-
ished, or live, column showed n crown
of bursting bubbles. The formation
of the caps Is, perhaps, to be explained
In this way: When the column rose
to a point where the wind reached IL
above the lee of the dam, the spray
from the bursting bubbles would lodge
chiefly on the leeward or down stream
side of the orifice, and I'm freezing
would build up that side faster than
the upstream side. The top would
thus curve over upstream, the freezing
river spray building not only upward
hut back against the wind, just as the
boar frost or frozen mist OF mountain
tops builds against high wind. This
would. of course, close the orifice In
time and put a stop to the growth OF
the column.
