VISIT w c T U FAIR BOOTHE

One of the most interesting booths
at the fair will be the boothe in the
Floral Hall arranged by the County
W c T U. Everyone attending the
Fair should visit this boothe and
procure some of the literature, etc.
offered. Especially every mother
should personally avail herself of this
opportunity.
The w C T U claim to be just at
the threshold of their great work,
that the prohibition amendment has
by no means rid the world of the
curse they are allied against. They
consider the carrying of saloons to
heathern lands almost worse than
having them at home.
Mrs j L Stewart who has person.
ally supervised the fair boothe this
year has spared neither trouble nor
expense to make it an interesting and
beneficial addition to the fair 1t
as educational in portent and deals
with a subject dear to the woman
heart-Child Welfare. There is a
certain something there to interest
you.

GROWING TOBACCO
CROP LOOKS WELL
Some Evidence OF Rust Or Black
Fire, But On Earlier Plants
That Are Ripening.
(By w. B. Kennedy

The growing crop is looking well,
except the earlier paintings that are
ripening are suffering from rust or
black fire. Can't say just what eN-
tent this damage goes, but the com
plants are universal and the indica-
tions are that the damage will be
great. This trouble seems to 'De
only with tobacco that is ripening and
we hope that the reports are exagger-
ated. We are having rather too
much cool weather on the growing
crop and no doubt the excessive mois-
ture and cold weather will have much
to do with this trouble.
Loose deliveries have continued
free during the past week but not as
heavy as for the past two weeks.
Practically everything selling lis of
the low and common grades and there
are still buyers taking the offerings
freely.
A few parcels of medium to good
leaf have sold on the loose floor at
prices ranging from 18 to % cents
Otherwise the common and low leaf
range from 2 1-2 to 6 cents. The
tobacco coming to market is very dry
and shows damage from hanging i'm
the barn and has greatly deteriora-
ted.
The Planters Protective Associa-
tion sold 81 hhds. of good to common
leaf this week at prices ranging from
IA to % cents. This lot consisted
largely of the better grades that have
been priced by the Association. They
have sold no lugs or low and common
leaf so far, and haven't arranged for
any definite sales, but are waiting
until more of their stock has been
put in hhds. and gotten ready for the
market.

SUPT. PHILLIPS
ASSIGNS TEACHERS
TO CITY SCHOOLS
Miss Harmed Is Principal of Lee;
Miss Roach Principal OF
Atkins Porter.
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED CITY
SCHOOLS BEGIN SEPT. 18th.
Details Of Enrolment Fully Set
Forth BY The Superintendent;
Buildings Made Ready.

With corps of twenty five excel
lent teachers, and principal who
gained renewed energy from his sum-
mer at Columbia University, the City
Schools are planning an auspicious
1920-21 term, opening Monday Sept.
18th.
Atkins Porter students will wei
come the lunch room that is being
installed this week in the basement
of the school, Their lunches will
now be served "red hot" and will be
sufficient and wholesome enough for
the biggest school boy appetite,
Window washers, and general
cleaners are at work at both Lee and
Atkins-Porter this week. The roof
at Atlsins-P Porter is being repaired
and some minor repairs are being
made ait Lee. The majority of the
$500 students in the first school dis
trict attend these two city schools,
and necessary arrangements are be-
ing made for their reception on the
18th.
The Board left to Prof Phillips the
definite placing of the teaching force
of the two schools, the teachers for
which being: Lee, Miss Mary Lee
Harmed, principal; Misses Minnie
Daniel, Clara Gilbert, Perry hAlexan-
der, Marjorie Veltman, Alice Lamp
ley, Rebecca Bayer, Charlie Niece
hae, Valentine Cooper, Stella Dunn,
Matte Parkhill, Rebecca Caldwell,
Willie Wilson, and Mrs WillSMorris;
Atkins-Porter: Miss Clara Carney
Roach, principal; Misses Edith White
Johnnie Neal, Sylvia White, Marion
Doran, Essie fWalters, Frances Wal
ters, Annie Nichols, Jane Johnson,
and Katherine Porter.
Prof Phillips advises the following
concerning the first days enroll
ment:
"All City Schools open on Monday
September 18th. All children are
to enroll in the school in which they
expect to attend the entire year.
There will be no transfers from
school to school except by promotion.
1t has been the custom of some chill
dren who attend the First District
schools outside the city limits to
change from these schools to the
city schools, and of course some
children who attend the city schools
transfer to the first district schools
outside the city limits.
It is the desire of the Board of
Education that the change from
school to school shall not occur this
year because of the crowded condit-
ion of the schools and because of
the inconvenience to different teach
ers, in classifying the children in this
change.
There is no ruling of the Board as
to what grades shall be taught in
the First District schools outside the
city limits, but if the children be
ginning the 9Th grade in schools out
side the city limits will attend the
city schools, the work that they get
in the city schools will be more sat
ifactory in every way, and will en-
able the First District teachers in the
First District schools to do better
work for the children in the lower
grades"

Caldwell, Jane johnson, Willie Will
son and Katherine Porter were cleo
ted to fill unsupphed vacancies in the

tion. Details for carrying out the
plan will be worked out with the
beginning of the schools.
Repairs on Atkins-Porter School
were ordered, and a few other minor
business transactions passed upon.

prospect of a good school term this
year.

PASSING OF WORTHY MAN

Two weeks following the death of
his sister Mrs Mollie Biles, DR. B
Frank Taylor, well known and high
ly respected citizen Of the county,
passed away at the home of his neph-
ew John Taylor, near Henry, Satur-
day night. He was buried with Odd
Fellow ceremonies Sunday afternoon
at Palestine, Rev j w Johns of Nc
Aenzie, pastor of the Gum Springs
church, of which Dr. Taylor was a
devoted member, conducted the SER
vices.
The deceased had been in declin-
ing health for sometime, and it is
thought that grief over his sisters
passing hastened the end. He was
II years of age and had never been
married. Surviving him are two
brothers and two sisters, H B Taylor,
S NJ Taylor, Mrs C T Lewis, and Mrs
Henry Collier.
DR. Frank Taylor was a worthy
character. He possessed a pleasing
personality and was much beloved by
his family and friends. He served
With the Fifth Tennessee in the Civil
War, and took UP the practice of
medicine upon his return from war.
For number of years he practiced
in Weakley county, and later in this
county until about fifteen years ago
when he retired from active practice.
For the past few years he has made
his home with his sister Mrs w F
Biles near Palestine.
He will be missed in the circles in
which he moved.
