Granville LOgde Honors Mem.
Ory Of Deceased Member.

One of the charter members
of our lodge. brother James Har.
gis, has fallen at the ripe old age
of 83 years, as the ripe oak falls
in the stiffness of the forest, but
the verdant and richness of his
glories. by being one Of the old
est brethren of Granville Lodge
No. 595. will only fade and with
er from the lodge when we fail
to meet him and greet him in
our meetings.
We will cherish his memory as
long as we live. We should all
remember that in one sense the
good and great never die, for
memory of their virtues and
their bright example will live
through time that blooms beyond
the grave.
The consolation of this thought
may calm our sorrow and in the
language of one of our poets it
may be asked:
Why weep we then for him who
having run,
The bounds of mans appoint
ed years at last.
Lifes blessings all enjoyed,
Lifes labor done,
Serenely to his final rest has
passed.
While the soft momory of his
virtues yet linger,
Like twilight hues when the
bright sun has SET
And, whereas, God the Su-
preme Master in his wise Provi-
dence has seen fit to call our
brother, James Hargis. from
labor to refreshment, brother
of true worth, high character
and purpose and aim in life.
Be it resolved, that this, Gran
vile Lodge No. sos Free and

in his death. and that a copy of
these resolutions be spread on
the minntes of our lodge, and a
copy be sent to his family.
Respectfully submitted,

IN MEMORY OF CLIFFORD & DOW DIXON.

We wish to say to our many
friends in Jackson county that
just a little over year ago, the
saddest day of our lives, the
death angel visited our dear and
happy home and claimed as its
victims on January II, 1919 our
dear boy Clifton. and on Febru-
ary 4, 1919 our other dear boy,
Dow.
We miss our dear ones so
much and our hearts grieve and
mourn every day for the dear
boys that's gone on before. We
know one thing sure that We can
meet them sgain, for the sweet
est thing we have to study about
still rings in our ears, 20. nam.
ma some sweet day. and listen
to the sweet music. My dear
friends you that haven't give up
YOUR dear folks know nothing
about the sadness of this world.
You think about our dear ones
that were in the bloom of life
and had to leave their loved ones
Of course we know they are bet
ter off than we are, but being
absent from our home and cam {
look out every evening and see
them coming in from their days
work. as we used to.
The only thing we can do is to
honor their memory and decor
ate their lonesome graves. Ii
makes us so sad to visit their lit
tie graves. but that is the only
thing we can do now, knowing
we cannot be with them no more
| in this world. Nay God help US
to lead our other dear children
to meet these dear boys in a bet
ter world to come.
If we only knew what our two
dear boys were called away from
us for. we could understand why
we have to live without them.
it would not grieve US so. but as
the song We can understand II
better by and by.
May God bless everyone that
reads this.

A. F. Hix Announces Hi.
Candidacy For Trustee.

To the People of Jackson County
take this method of announc-
ing my candidacy for the office
of Trustee for Jackson County.
am a very poor man, as most
of you know, and need the pro-
dedes of the Office to which
aspire very badly. However,
this is not my only reason for
entering the race, but | do SC
for the reason that many of my
friends have solicited me to
make the race, having received
these solicitations from most
of the districts in the county,
and further because feel that
am competent and qualified to
fill the office if elected.
The people of this county were
good enough to elect me to the
Office of Register at a time when
l was so badly crippled that it
looked as though it would be
next to impossible for me to pro
perly provide for my family.
While tho precedes of the Reg
listers Office were small, at that
time, the wants of my family
were meager. and the PROCEEDS
were sufficient to meet their nec-
esities. For this election l will
never cease to be grateful to the
people Of this county.
Many of you had business, or
were in the Registers office dur
ing my term of Office. and OBJ
served the manner in which |
conducted the affairs of the Of
flee, and know whether it was
the right or the wrong way.
| solicit the vote and influence
of all, and while | will endeavor
to see each of you before the
August election. should anything
transpire to prevent me from do
ing so, | wish to assure you. that
should you do me the favor to
elect me to the office of Trustee.
| will do everything to the ex-
tent of my skill and ability, to
run the Office in an efficient busi-
ness like manner, and to the in
terest of the taxpayers of the
county.
Thanking you in advance for
your support and influence,
should you bestow them upon
me. | am very respectfully.

Streets and Sidewalks Must
Be Cleared Of Debris.
To the citizens of Gainesboro:

10 the citizens OF GalnesbOro:
| have had complaints from
several parties, as to the streets
and sidewalks being blocaded
with building material and by
merchants displaying their wares
| have been criticized by many
for allowing this state of affairs
to exist within the corporate
limits. and have been requested
to furnish a remedy.
Under the laws of our State a
party erecting a building may
use one third the width of the
streets adjacent thereto, if nee.
essary, on which to place and
cut the material necessary to
the construction of the building
during the course of construction
but no longer; the debris, or re-
fuse from an old building that
has been torn away must be
moved as fast as possible. Any
person, or persons violating this
law is liable to indictment in the
Criminal Court and would be
punished accordingly.
The sidewalks have, by the
Courts, been declared a part of
the streets, and he who blocks
the sidewalks by using them for
the purpose of displaying his
goods, or for placing thereon his
empty barrels or boxes, is guilty
and would be indictable in the
Criminal Court for obstructing
the public highway.
do not wish to cause any one
any trouble, but you all can
readily see that the people have
a just cause for complaint, and
| now ask all those who have
been building, or are now build
ing, and those who are using the
streets OF sidewalks for any pur-
pose. save that for which they
were intented, that of a pass
way. and those who are keeping
or maintaining anything in the
town limits. which is likely to
become a nuisance, either, pub
lie or private, to please comply
with the laws of the State and
the ordinances of the town with
out the necessity of an official
notification.
You are respectfully requeet-
ed to remedy the situation at
your place at once.

said Mr.. Taylor in his announce

a public duty, that | am behold

The decision of Mr.. Taylor to
make the race for the Repabli-

very handsome vote in East Ten

Crop Conditions In State Low
est In Many Years.

Tennessee is fast losing out as
. wheat state. as indicated in
the report just issued by the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates thru
G. L. Morris, its Field Agent.
The acreage to be harvested this
year is the smallest since the
early seventies. with the lowest
condition on record for many
years. These conditions were
brought about by a very unfav-
orable fall for sowing. The late
ness Of much of the crop, with
the winters freezes. and abb
sence Of snow covering, caused
a great deal of heaving. and
heavy abandonment in many
parts Of the state. until the acre
age to be harvested this year is
only AZ per cent of last year.
From present indications, the
wheat crop of the state will only
allow about one and one half
bushels for each of its inhabit-
ants.
The same conditions that af-
fectes the wheat crop has also
decreased the acreage of rye for
grain. This crop. being more
hardy. is in better condition than
wheat.
It seems there will be slight
decline in the acreage of hay.
There is some increase in clover;
and grasses remain about the
same. The decline will result
from a falling off in cowpeas
and soy-bean production. The
cold, wet late spring has put the
farmers behind in their work so
that there will be a curtailment
of many crops. The acute labor
shortage on farms is felt in all
parts of the state.
There is the smallest amount
Of spring work done on farms of
the state in many years. Only
58 per cent of plowing and 4S per
cent of planting being done by
May /. There has been a con-
siderable amount of corn planted
in the eastern part of the state,
but little in middle and western.
A fair crop of oats was sown.
but in most cases late. Only a
small part of the cotton crop is
planted. Gardens are late, and
many not yet planted. Pastures
though late, are in fair condi-
ton, SO per cent of normal.
The morality among live stock
fe. the past year has been rath-
er heavy. There has been more
than the usual amount of disease
among all kinds of live stock.
Much of this is attributable to
damaged and inferior feed. Con-
siderable cholera among swine
in many places; dogs, disease and
cold wet weather among sheer
and lambs, foot and mouth trou'
BILE and diarrhea among cattle.
Quite a number of horses anc
cattle have been lost in the West
Tennessee bottoms from ravage:
of the Buffalo Gnat. The condi
ton of all live stock is low, fol
want of proper feed, and man!
report lice.
