TENNESSEE" FUND
Is STILL GROWING
Over Four Hundred Dollars in Sight;
City and County Quota, How
ever is $3.50.

The County's portion of the Testi-
monial Fund for the battleship Ten
nessee is accommodating slowly, ac-
cording to DR.. George l.. Powers,
county chairman Of the fund. From
present indications, it appears that
only about $3.50, or a little over half
the $3.50 required of Henry County
will be contributed, and the most of
this has come through the schools,
Grove having pledged $3.50, Lee and
Atkins-Porter raising nearly 500 and
the Puryear school some $50.
DIR. Powers outlined a splendid
working organization for this drive,
and the workers who have had it IN
charge have been diligent in their eff
forts, but people are somehow fed up
on drives, so to speak. Every week
seems to bring a new one of some
variety, and it is only the schools
mostly, who have held enough of their
war drive enthusiasm to meet every
new exigency.

The buying this week of the Ed.

new hands one of the landmarks of
the town, the second to the oldest
residence on Washington street. This
property, which consists of a ten
room frame structure, built on the

MULE MARKET ON \
IL INCREASE HERE

That Paris is fast breaking into the
lead in the way of mule market is
demonstrated by the sales this week
of four loads of mules, which Somer-
vile & Young have shipped to va
rious southern points. The mule
business has been so booming for the
firm that they can scarcely keep in
mules, and like the automobile sales
men book many orders to fill later
1t Is said that if there is a thing
about judging the quality of a mule
that H. V. Somerville doesn't know,
that Win Young does, which combin-
ed with the high business integrity of
the firm, accounts for their signal
success as stockmen. Somerville is
in the markets this week replenishing
their supply of mules and mares.
The four loads of mules shipped
this week went to Parham Bros,

TWO ARRESTS in
SCHOOL BURNING
Fire Marshal Issues Warrant Against
Hollie Carter and Jesse Mar
shall For Arson.

Following an investigation which
has been in the course of develop
ment for several months since the
school building at Routon was de-
stroyed by fire, w. r. Kinton, fire
mashal for West Tennessee, has caus-
ed the arrest this week of Hollie Car
ter, aged 18 years, and Jesse Mar
shall, aged 30 years, of the Routon
vicinity. Both men were brought to
Paris and made bond for appearance
before Magistrate D. NJ Mobiles on
"Wednesday.
When the case was called in Esq.
Mobiles court Wednesday it was
postponed until February rs, both
the defendants and the state agree
ing.
The warrant against Carter charges
him with arson, while two warrants
were sworn out for Marshall, one
charging him with arson and the 9th
er with conspiracy to commit arson,
1t seems the latter grew out Of an al
legged confession by Carter to effect
that he was employed by Marshall to
set fire to the school house-that for
this deed he was to receive $100, but
that Marshall had liquidated the debt
only to the extent of giving him an
old pistol. This confession is said
to have been made personally to Fire
Marshal Kinton.
Carter is out on bond of $4,000,
and Marshall's bond is $1,000, pend
ing the hearing before Esq. Mobiles
on February 25th. The arrest was
made by Deputy Earn Butler.

a possibility that there may be active
stills at points along the river, but
considers the offer of $40 fer the
report of still in operation, and the
$40 reward for each moonshiner con-
victed, sufficient to soon terminate
any still of long standing.

tenance work instead of new con-
struction. The association invites the
aid of all state and federal officials
whose duties lie in this line and all
stockmen. and particularly the aid of
state or national live stock associa-

ton of grazing upon the remaining
public domain, this appears to be one
of the biggest national questions con-

We believe it can be solved with the
right kind of a cooperative effort
