UNUSUAL RECORD
DELINQUENT TAXES
Only Two Pieces of Property Sold In
Henry County Account 1919
Delinquent Tax Unpaid.

Only two parcels of Henry County
land sold by order of the county trus-
tee this year to collect delinquent
taxes! ALI previous records smashed
to atoms!
'For nineteen years | have been
assisting in the collection of delin.
quent taxes in this county," says ESQ.
Cross, "a,.d the fact that only two
land sales were compelled to be made
this year to collect the taxes, smash
es all precedents, as it is usual that
from 80 to so sales are necessarily
made"
Last year between 40 and so land
sales were ordered by the trustee.
The only two ordered this year were
in the 18th and 10th districts respec-
tiveiy, and we've both bought by Al
fred McGehee. One of these, it is
understood, occurred because of a
family dispute, q husband and wife
being separated and each refusing to
ray che tax.
The lessaning Of relinquishing land
FOR tax paTT1ents would indicate 6
'ecognized increased value Of lard in
the county f1cm farming productive
basis, which same has given the land
more definite valuation. It also
shows the existence of more than the
usual rcedy money. In general, ID
evidence OF prosperity.

WORLD'SLARCEST
ship COMMISSIONED
Superdreadnaught Tennessee is Placed
in Service; Crew is From
Tennessee.

At the New York navy yard on
June 8, the Tennessee, the largest
superdreadnaught in the world was
commissioned with the usual cere-
monies, which occupied only 6 min
utes. The 800 officers and men,
manning this greatest warship, most
of them native Tennesseans, several
of them Henry Countians, stood in
column formation upon her spacious
deck, while Capt. R. E. Leigh received
command of the ship from the COM
mandant of the ship yard. A salute
and the Star Spangled Banner ended
the commission ceremonies.
The huge vessel will probably not
leave the New York ship yard before
August 1st, as much work remains
yet to be completed to prepare her
for her maiden voyage. She will
first be given tryout trip to Guam
tanamo, and finally will cross the
Panama canal to take her station as
a part of the Pacific fleet.

G W. SWOR DEAD
AT RIPE OLD AGE
Interment at Bethel Church Burying
Ground; Services by Pullen
and Spaulding.

At the age of rs, G. Wash Swor, a
brave and valiant x-Confederate
soldier, an honest, honorable, and
upright man, esteemed by his friends,
beloved by his five sons and one
daughter and other relatives, who
survive him, passed away at his home
near Buchanan, where he was born
and reared, Friday night to join the
bivouc of his departed comrades.
The end came quietly and peace
fully. Since the death six weeks
ago of the wife Who had long been
loving helpmate, Mr.. Swor has been
respondent, and infrmities incident
to old age weighed heavier and heav-
ier upon him. He died quietly and
peacefully sitting in his chair.
Funeral services were said by the
Rev. D. T. Spaulding at Bethel
church near Buchanan. Rev. P. P.
Pullen led the old soldiers service.
The large concourse of people pres
ent attested the high regard in which
the community held the deceased,
G. w. Swor was known to many in
the county as proprietor of the old
Swor Distillery, He was ever up
right and honest in all dealings, con-
ducting his business in an honorable
way,
For the four years of the Civil War
he served in Company A, 9Th Ten
nessee, of the Confederate Army, and
lost his right hand in the battle of
Perryyille, His uncle, Col. Swor,
was colonel of the regiment to which
g. w. Swor belonged.
In later years Mr., Swor engaged in
farming, and accumulated a substan-
tial, surplus, SO that he was able to
leave each of his children comforta-
bic home. A friend speaking of his
high integrity said, ga debt on Wash
Swor was as good as one on bank. !"
From a distance attending the fu-
neral were, D C Swor of Harrogate,
Tenn, and Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Bucy
of Bowling Green, KY.

Great Good Inspired By Christian
Church Revival Meeting The
Past Two Weeks.

DR.. Herbert Yeuell's presence has
been tonic to the town. AS the
Christian revival nears its close, the
recognition that it has been an all
too short revival is evident. The
EVANGELIST himself seys that the ten
or of his preaching has not been dis.
tinctly evangelistic. but that after
careful analysis Of existing church
and community conditions, he has
rather dealt with questions underly
ing the permanence end solidarity of
Christianity,
Interrogated upon the success Of
the meeting he affirmed: st has gone
beyond anything | expected. Its
spirit has been one of remuneration
instead of conversion, | have at
tempted to meet existing conditions
and my goal has been to advance
the community service of he church
/ expect great things to occur before
TIE close of the meeting,''
The obvious satisfaction and joy
which DIR. Yeuell derives from his
work as a.. evengelist OF the Disciples
of Christ ale probably accountable
for the splendid accomplishments
which he meets in his revivals every

toa1@ged. | am sure of the material

He sees Paris as "belcw the aver

it capable of ''keen religious suscep-

LAMB DAY NEXT
SATURDAY WEEK
County Agent Patrick Gives Full De-
tails of Lamb Market And
Shipping Directions.
(By ]. A. Ratrickl

Becaue of numerous questions that
have been asked it might be well to
answer them for the benefit of all
parties concerned. Many are want
ing to know what the lamb market
win do. Nobody knows. Taking
the past as a guide, we might expect
a decline, for the market usually gets
lower as the season advances. Most
of our leading livestock men are ex-
pecting a serious decline in the lamb
market, like we have seen with hogs
and cattle,
1t Is earnestly hoped that none of
our lambs will go to market as No.
Us, because there is difference Of
cents. So It would be much bet
ter to wait until the lambs have put
on enough flesh to weigh in at ~
pounds here at Paris. With this
difference Of four cents per pound
we can well afford to keep them until
they make No. lambs.
Old sheep will be accepted for
shipment. Hogs will also be accept
ed for shipment.
It was thought at first that no cat
tie would be received for shipment,
but on account of numarou requests
for shipping cattle. cattle will be re-
ceived for shipment.
Remember the date, Saturday,
June 10Th. Be sure to come early.
TRY to avoid getting in about the
middle of the day as you might have
to stay in line too long.
Be sure to call ]. A. Patrick, phone
1893 or see him at Paris Monday June
14th, and list your stock for ship
ment.
