.BANDY BROOKSHIRE
GETS ARMY MEDAL
Medal of Honor For Bravery Display
ed In France Recognized By
United States C ,vernment.

"For an extraordinary series of
heroic acts" said Major Landers of
Nashville is presenting the U. S.
Medal Of Honor to- Bandy Brook
shire, brave young>Paris soldier at
the Dixie Theatre Monday evening,
when a number of Khaki clad COM
rades stood as a guard of honor to
the receiver of the medal.
Bandy Brookshire was with the
18th Machine Gun Battalion, 30th
Division. Between October 1919,
1918, when the valiant Both had
taken part in the breaking of the
Hindenburg line the first time, and
for the third time had withdrawn this
time to the LaSalle River, young
Brookshire bravely volunteered five
successive times to carry messages
through fire swept areas, and for
these several acts of heroism was
awarded the Medal Of Honor which
was presented him on Monday even
ing.
Major Landers in presenting the
medal, called attention to the fact
that those who had offered their lives
en- their country's altar were in a
group set aside from ordinary men
and were deserving always of the
honor and reverence of the commu-
nifty in which he lived Speaking
probably from a soldiers viewpoint
he said those who had had the "good
fortune" to serve their country also
had an ideal to live up to, and he
cautioned the ex soldiers to live
honorably, and to pattern their lives
nobly.

MUCH TOBACCO IS
NOW BEING TOPPED
AND QUALITY GOOD
Growing Crop in fine Shape and Con-
ditions Were Never Better 1t
Is Said.
CROP HOWEVER is LATE
BUT YIELD is EXCELLENT
Movement of Loose Tobacco Lighter
During Past Week Owing To
Dry Weather.
(By w B Kennedy

The movement of loose tobacco
has been very much lighter during
the past week than it has been for
several weeks. The main reason for
this is that we had storm on the
Gath and the weather turned very
cool and has been ever since. To-
bacco hanging in the barns has been
bone dry and bulks could not be
removed without casing them. An
other reason is that the bulk of the
crop has moved and we may not
expect another glut this. season. In
one way it is rather fortunate be-
cause dealers who were active in the
market were crowded and it would
have been hard to have taken care of
the stock if deliveries had continued
as heavy as last week. The Planters
Protective Association houses are
crowded the same as other dealers
and all are having a chance to work
their stocks down.
There has been some tobacco NOV
ing and sales have continued thruout
the week. Prices on low and common
leaf have been irregular and shade
easier, especially on the very low
grades. Long tobacco has continued
firm and so has leaf of merit of most
any class, hence we would say the
market was unchanged except on the
low and common grades.
Ordinarily factories or the prize
houses have completed their years
work by the middle of July, but many
of them will run into the fall months
before getting through. The reason
for this is the bulk of the crop did
not begin to move until in the spring,
then the extra large crop that was
grown last year. We have estimated
the probable yield of the 1919 crop
at 105 to 10 million pounds. 1t is
apparent now that the crop will run
considerably above the outside figure
and may go to 115 or 120 million
pounds.
The growing crop is looking fine
and great deal of it has been top
ped. Taking the crop through the
district | will say that | never saw
a healthier growth or better prospect
for a good crop than we now have.
But the greater part of it is late and
it depends on the weather conditions
from now on as to the quality and
the yield.

LIGHT VOTE is CAST IN
ELECTION OF YESTERDAY

An unusually light vote was polled
in the first district yesterday, in both
the Democratic primary and general
elections, and also in the Republican
primary, the Democratic vote falling
really short of pre- election estimates
in both instances.
The Democratic primary voted a
strength of 591, and the general ell
ection count fell short of this figure
eight ballots, or a total of 583. The
Republican primary figures totaled
40 votes.
The voting strength of the first
district is normally something around
thousand, SO there was hardly a
two thirds vote polled yesterday. The
crop season being at hand is given
as one cause of the light vote, and
the failure to register on the part
of a good number of voters is also
responsible in degree.

August Sth. An invitation is ex-
tended the public to attend these

Rev Corum is one of the leading

highly educated, being a Vanderbilt
graduate, 4 Princeton graduate, also
having studied extensively abroad
He is a most pleasing speaker, beau
tifully sincere and devoted to the
cause of Christianity for which he
stands. 1t is likely that several of
the churches will not hold regular
services on Sunday evening, but will
take the opportunity of hearing this
able preacher.

COOPER and J. TRAVIS CHOSEN SENATOR AND PRNTATTVE RESPECTIVELY
CLARKS WILLIE HAS
BIG SALES EVENT
New Paris Nashville Accommodation
Trains Heaps Crowds Into City
For Sales Day.

The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle
gives the following account of the
monthly sales day there this week,
which it headlines as Biggest Sales
In History" "New Paris-Nashville
Train Brings Hundreds" etc.:
The merchants of Clarksville are
immensely pleased with today's de-
velopments. They have every reason
to be. 1t is generally conceded that
it has been the most important of all
previous monthly Sales Days. The
streets and stores have presented a
striking similarity to that which oc-
ours when a big circus comes to town
The crowds began to pour into the
city early by all means of locomo-
tion, but principally by railway and
motor car.
The new Paris-Nashville train
brought hundreds of people who were
never here before, all attracted by
this enterprising community. The
people who came here by this new
train today are strikingly represen-
tative and wearing an air of solidity
and prosperity. They all have a.full
supply of cash and spend it freely
in the pursuit of the many advertis-
ed bargains found in the August
Sales Sheet. Clarksville welcomes
right heartily these accessions to its
alrady swelling list of customers
from various other quarters. Our
merchants are not unmindful of the
Importance of encouraging and cul-
tivating the splendid trade it has
built within the past twelve months
through the medium Of its strong
and wide awake Advertising Club.
This institution has proven wonder
fully successful and is forging ahead
to greater possibilities. 1t has put
pep and new life into all lines, fur
nished renewed inspiration to all
those who had imagined that Clarks-
Vile had just about attained to the
peak Of it's possibilities as retail
market The developments of the
last twelve months have shown con-
clusively that we had only made a
good start; that we had greater
contiguous territory hitherto unap-
preached through lack of cohesive,
organized effort that is now supplied
by the Clarksyille Advertising Club.
The missionary work that has
been done by that organization within
brief year constitutes Clarksville's
greatest trade aset. 1t is an ar
gury Of future growth and expan-
sicn, the extent of which no man is
able to compute.

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm Up.

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With yom
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like a dream
within the time limit. Don t be bash,
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody IS
doing it. o -
When your cold or cough is re-
lieveds take the remainder of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
Tor infants and children.-Adv.l
