For Trustee.

We are authorized to announce
Mr.. Tom w. Jernigan as candidate
for Trustee of Obion County. Mr.
Jernigan has been a resident of I'm
ion City for a number of years. He
is a native of Number Seven, and has
been engaged in the pursuit of farm
ing most of his life. He is now serv-
ing the people of Union City as
alderman with a very creditablc rec
ord. Mr.. Jcrnigan is comparatively
young man with mature discretion
and the highest sense of personal
honor and integrity. He is also a
man of business qualifications, clear
headed and capable of looking after
the finances connected with the of
flee of Trustee. He is in fine good
citizen, trustworthy and deserving
With these claims to your good judg-
ment he offers his candidacy subject
to the action of the Democratic party,
pledging in every way that he is
able to take care of and protect the
interests of the county should he be
elected to that important Office. We
take pleasure in presenting to the
voters the name of Tom w. Jernigan.

Destruction of Sheep.

While the Tennessee Legislature is
considering public act that would
protect sheep raising in the State,
the farmers of this county are suffer-
ing the ravages of sheep killing dogs.
On Sunday night the farm of R. H.
Joyner, Jr.. in Number One, was in
vaded by ours and three ewes and
four lambs were found dead as the
result. Four others were crippled.
On Saturday night Herbert Naylor
lost two or three fine sheep, ones
worth $50, and some cripples. And
it is probable that the dogs doing the
damage are practically worthless.
There is no easy way to trace the
killing of sheep, and it would be too
troublesome and expensive to under
take But there is some way, If the
people of the State will demand it,
to protect the owners of sheep. There
are numbers of instances where a
good house dog is useful on farm,
but there are hundreds of dogs that
are worth nothing to the farmer and
stock raiser. No farmer should OBJ
ject to a tax on dog that protects
his home, and no hunter with pack
of dogs should expect to have his
pastime for nothing. The dog tax
is right. Every son-of-a-gun of
good for-nuddings" dog ought to be
killed. To take from the starving
millions during the war the meat
that has been killed by worthless
ours is a crime. Give us a dog law
and a good one.

For Tax Assessor.

We are authorized to announce
Mr.. Will P. Noah as a candidate for
Tax Assessor of Obion County. Mr..
Noah has made two exceptionally
clean races for that Office, and came
very near being elected both times.
The last race put him neck and neck
with his competitor. Mr.. Noah is a
native of the county and citizen
of Number Two, the son of that
grand old man, Uncle Pleas Noah,
whose mantle falls on honorable
shoulders. The candidate is COM
paratively young man of finely bal
anced judgment. He has served as
deputy assessor in the county with
very marked degree of ability, and
is both capable and deserving at the
hands of the voters. He is a Demo
crat from that district which has
stood the storms of party battles,
and his candidacy is subject to the
action of the Democratic party. If
the voters see fit to honor him he
will, with the greatest degree of
pride and pleasure, serve to the very
utmost of his ability in the discharge
of duty, and we are pleased to pre-
sent the name of Mr.. Noah for Tax
Assessor.

The members of the Tennessee
General Assembly should have
enough salary to compensate them
for time and money expended in
service during the sessions of that
body, but they should at once and
forever stop this scheming to get It
in an indirect manner, with the idea
probably that they can secure more
pay under the subterfuges. The last
thing is bill for the railroads to
issue passes to State officials. An
other bill is offered for mileage and
more pay. Now why not come out
in the open and ask for stated sal
airy, with additional pay for railroad
fare actually expended, not fixed
mileage. This is the fairest way to
themselves and the people and the
fairest way is always the best. For

the people have to pay for it. The

ton, we do not believe, will allow
the issuance of passes and it would
be blot of dishonor if they did.

FURTHER RECOVERLE,S MADE
IN THE CLOSING MARK EFT
Prospects of Immediate Passage OF CunnS Bill Caused Free
Covering in Railroad Stocks

Illustrated than in the backing and hlling
of the twenty active industrials and
railroads employed in striking an aver
age price swing. Here we find the aver
age price of the twenty active indus
trial stocks last Saturday to be lO3.I5,
which was within 013 per cent OF the
bottom figures touched on November ~.
In the three days rally in the former
part of the week. the average was
raised to 1926. The succeeding day s
sharp reaction, influenced superticially
by the attitude of the labor organiza
tions to the government control OF the
TRANSPORTATION lines. carried the average
back TO 1O3.7S. Yesterdays recovery
Influenced solely by technical conditions
the average was raised to 1O4.63.
All of this carries little significance,
except to further emphasize the complete
domination of the professional contin
gent. It means, by reason of the mar.
rowing of the market circle, the general
list automatically becomes overbought
or oversold. This is wholly in line with
precedent. The present condition only
differs in this way. Some few of the
industrial specialties, by reason of the
comparatively small amount of floating
stock, are more susceptible to manipu-
lative influences of the pools and cliqucs,
as indicated by the wide and OF times
rather violent fluctuations Of the oil,
motor and some Of the equipment shares.
Otherwise the swing of the more repre-
sentative shares is circumscribec with
in relatively narrow limits.
This between seasons period is usual
" followed by the familiar window
dressing or market grooming. In the
opinion of some recognized competent
observers the preliminary maneuvers
of this new market stage setting are
already in evidence. Perhaps they are
present and perhaps they are not. In
all events, they are not as yet clearly
enough defined to be distinguished by
the ordinary layman. This much is Ger
tain, however, that the incentive for
any comprehensive swing will in all
probability emanate from Washington,
while the extent of the movement will
be governed solely by money condi-
tions. The bulls may land the Christ
mas turkey, a prize they have not
captured since the memorable Flower
boom, but unless all surface signs are
misleading there is not much of hope of
big market until after the turn of
the year.

New York, Dec. 20.-There was no
essential change in the conditions Of
the market in today's brief session.
Prospects of immediate passage Of the
Cummins bill by the Senate brought the
much neglected railroad stocks into
brief prominence in the initial dealings
The good influence, however, was partly
lost in the announcement from Wash
ington that the President would not
send his message on the railroad situa-
tion today.
For the most part the days move
ments we're made up Of the familiar
week end evening up operations of the
professionals. Strength was shown at
the beginning of business when gains
ranging from fractions to more than 3
points were made largely because of
the scant supply of stocks. In other
words, free covering of shorts was in
evidence all around the room.
When this demand slackened the
weight Of profit taking sales caused a
general reaction by which most of the
initial gains were wiped out. In the
second hour the tone again became
strong with a renewal of the forward
movement on western buying orders,
which carried the more prominent
shares back to and above the opening
level. The secondary recovery was as
sisted by another sharp rally in sterling
exchange.
To use the phraseology of the Street,
''the market during the last week has
been running in circles This is a
familiar condition in the between sea
sons of the market world. A condi-
ton usually prevalent in the aftermath
of every big swing, indicating diversion
of opinion among the leading market in
terests and a similar mental confusion
of the professional and semiprofessional
trading element. In other words, q
stage of the market wherein the pro-
fessional operators are mighty glad to
make point or two on either swing,
and where the SO called public is con-
tent to look placidly on and not par
ticipate. 1t is a juncture where the
mice play while the cats away. In
the narrow circling of such operations
there is little likelihood of dislocatins

side of the ledger.

market pendulum is better appreciated

LOCAL MARKET STRONGER
AND PRICES SHADE BETTER
Liquidation in Hgh!Crdde Investment Stocks and Bonds
Believed to Have Run Its Course

Further substantial improvement in
ooth tone and in prices was made in
todays local market. The volume Of
ueulings was fairly large for the half
nollday and quite well distributed
lhe outstanding feature was the
wltndrawal of liquidating pressure
against the seasoned dividend paving
STOCKS. There was notable rebound in
Lehigh Navigation of $1.5O, to G3H
representing a net recovery Of over S.
from the recent low price, Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad moved up to 40b,
while United Gas Improvement had n

Better prices, however. were regis
tered along the whole line, the only
noteworthy exception occurring in
American Railways preferred, which
was $500 down from the previous sale,
On the other hand, General Asphalt
preferred on few sales jumped SO to
l65. Electric Storage Battery in early
dealings sold up to 1871, later reactinv
to 1929 on profit taking.
The improvement also extended TO
the bond division. Substantial recov-
cries were scored by Electric and Peo-
pies As, Philadelphia Electric first 5s
and Lehigh Valley general 415s. In
brief, it was the most cheerful local
market seen in many weeks.
The overshadowing development of
the weeks operations in the local mar
ket was the persistent and insistent
liquidation of the high grade invest
ment stocks and bonds. This selling did
not reach large proportions, but the
seemingly .endless offerings of these
stable shares was beginning to get on
the nerves of the street.
The selling was popularity ascribed to
the so called establishing of losses for

large amount of it was for that pur-
pose, but there also appeared to be some
hidden influence. just what it was
