OF
THREE LAND FIRMS
into new COMPANY
Three OF Henry County's Leading
Real Estate Firms Combine To
Develop Business.
ANTICIPATES BIG VOLUME
OF BUSINESS IN 1920
Consolidated Offices Will Be. Located
In Gray Building On East
Side Square.

Anticipating big volume of bus
mess this year, three leading real es-
tate firms, the Adams & Moffitt Land
Company, the Gray & Hartsfeld Land
Company, and the Henry County
Realty Company have this week con-
solidated into what promises to be
one of the most active and the most
substantial land companies in West
Tennessee and West Kentucky.
The Henry County Land Company
will be the style of this new real
estate organization. To their offices
in the Joe Gray Building, and the
east side square they invite all pros
pective purchasers, sellers, and any
interested in any sort of land deal.
The three firms thus combining their
Individual interests have had splen-
did and successful business the past
year, and have handled large por-
tion of the immense amount of real
estate which hos changed hands in
this section in the past months The
five gentlemen who compose the new
consolidated land company, are ex-
perienced in business, are we'll known
and popular citizens of the commu-
nifty, and are possessed of business
honor and integrity far above the
average.
W. G. Adams, who has personally
operated the enterprising firm of
Adams & Moffitt, has a host of
friends in Henry and the surround
ing counties, that he has made dur
ing the eight years of his extensive
real estate experience. He has sue
cessfully handled many thousand
dollars worth of real estate and will
be one of the strongest mainstays of
the new firm.
Continuing the category of the
firm members, there is Gus Mofiitt,
also of the Adams & Moffitt Land
Company, who is well known in both
West Tennessee and West Kentucky,
as he lived in Graves County, KY,
until several years ago, since which
time he has been a resident of CAL
loway County. His Kentucky asso-
Citations will doubtless be of service
to Kentucky land buyers and SELL
ers,
Mr.. Joe Gray who is a real estate
man of some eight or ten years ex-
perience will also be strong member
of the firm. In all business dealings,
he has shown the happy faculty of
gaining and retaining friends.
Mr.. Luther Hartsfeld, the second
member of the old Gray & Hartsfield
Land Co., served several years as a
justice of the peace Of the Whitlock
section and was county road super
visor the past year. In his official
capacities, he has come into personal
contact with practically every prop
erty owner in the county, which with
his general amiability, and high
standing as a gentleman, make him
another asset to the new concern.
o. E. Dale, former manager of the
Henry County Realty Company brings
into the Henry County Land Com
pany an experienced land dealing a.
bihty and scores Of friends, who will
continue to give him their business
AS resume, it seems obvious thas
in this instance truly there will be
strength in union, and that there are
big business successes ahead for this
new consolidated company of real
estate men.

PRECAUTION IS
URGED AGAINST
SMALLPOX HERE
County Health Officer Oliver Gives
Complete Outline of The Cen
eral Situation.
SAYS ONLY A DOZEN
CASES IN CITY ZONE
Condition Is Mild But Precaution Is
Uurged To Prevent Further
Complications.

DR.. A. A. Oliver, county health
officer, viewing the local small poA
situation which has been a matter on
much concern to the residents of
Paris and Henry County, although
there are less than dozen cases in
the city and only three families quar-
antined in the county, has issued a
letter to the public through the news
papers, in order that the situation may
be fully understood. His letter fol-
lows:
"As we hear SO many Irdmols and
all magnifed about LOO percent, |
am going to state the facts in our
county to you. We have about one
dozen families in our little city with
small pox. Three families in the
northern part of the county. A few
have been very sick indeed. The
majority of the cases are mild, but !
want all people to know that you may
develop fatal case from mild one.
DR.. Olin West, State Health officer,
has been here, and after looking over
the field states frankly to the Board
of Health he endorses the diagnosis
made by the City and County Board,
or in other words, he said we had
smallpox, and also states we had also
done our duty.
"We do not want to be unfair to
any physician, man, woman or child,
and we do not want to quarantine
any places except the places abso-
lutely necessary. AS am Southern
man, | think l know the Southern
people. | know we do not want to
be made do anything, and I also
know we as a whole are willing to do
our duty in all the calls of life.
"The people are very kind and re-
spectful to us and many have stated
we are with you, but about one out
of one hundred will knock, or say
only chicken pox. But we have one
of these fellows in about Ia days
call us in and say, doctor, please give
me something to ease my back and
head. | do not know what it is, but
| do not want anyone else to have
this and also say, I wish l had been
vaccinated when you asked me- A
few days later little red hard places
appear on face, hands and body Qike
shot under the skin,) later little blis-
ters, and later pus, still later scale.
In other words, we papule vesicle,
pustule and. scale.
eleven years l have been looking
after the small pox epidemics, and
frankly state it looks like we are
going to have more cases than ever
in the history of my administration.
But if you are and will get busy and
have your physician vaccinate you,
also have your physician give you a
certificate stating, day, month and
year, SO if called on any time you
may at once file with clerk.
eve want all business to continue,
but we must and will stamp out the
present epidemic if every house in
the county is quarantined. All the
railroad officials are being vaccinat-
ed. We kindly insist on al to do
likewise. AN physicians and their
families are being vaccinated. We
do not ask you to do anything we do
not do ourselves.

Quit Meat When
Kidneys Bother
Take glass of Salts if your Back
Hurts or Bladder troubles

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine. so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; make a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney mplications.-Adv

Everybody's doing it.
When yous cold or cough is re-

To a woman, Elaine Sterne, goes
the honor of having written the most
notable photoplay of the year.
In THE Inner Voice." which has as
it's star, E. X. Lincoln, Miss Sterne
has presented to the picture loving
public of America, dramatic study
of a man who was crushed to de-
struction by his enemies, only to rise
up again and vindicate himself be-
fore the eyes of the world.
Miss Sterne, in writing Of "The
Inner Voice." which by the way will
be presented for the first time at the
Murray Theatre, evidently received
her inspiration for the writing of this
remarkable photoplay from careful
observation of life. The technique
which she employed in building up the
dramatic situations of her story is
almost flawless.
Before taking up the work of photo
play writing, she prepared herself for
her life's work by making careful
and thorough study of the technical
methods of the greatest dramatists
since the days of Euripides, the an
cient Greek playwright, whose works
even though written over 5000 years
ago. are still performed. because in
