ROAD CONTRACT TO
Be LET AUGUST 20
Highway lCommission Adver-
tises for Bidders. Begin
ming of Great Highway

What is to be the beginning of
Weakley county's great east and
west highway, the first real step, is
an advertisement found in today's
paper advertising for bids on the
grading of the link from Mckenzie
to Dresden. The letting will be on
Aug. 20, bids to be filed with the
state highway commission in Nash
vile, and each bid to be accompanied
by certified check for $1,000.
At the July term of the quarter
ly court authority was given the
state highway commission to pro-
coed with grading the east link Of
the highway from Mckenzie to
Dresden. This link is ready for con-
tract, while the section from Dres-
den to the Obion county line has not
been approved by the federal high
way department.
Just when the surfacing will be-
gin on the east section is not known,
but in order to save our portion of
the federal fund it has been found
necessary to proceed in some man
ner with the road construction,
hence the grading will start at an
early date, though it may be some
time before surfacing is done.

Last Friday, Drs. Biggs and Mayo

only chance for the life of his 16-
year-old daughter, Alberta, as she
was dangerously ill of appendicitis.
She was carried to Murray, opera

quietly breathed her last early Sat-
urday morning. She was one of
the best young girls it has ever been
my pleasure to meet-always quiet
and obedient, devoted to brothers
and sisters, ever ready to lend a
helping hand. She will be missed
sorely at home, at school and in our
community. She leaves father,
mother, one sister, four brothers,
besides a host of friends and other
relatives to 0rieve. The femains
were laid to rest Sunday at Mathe-

STATE OF TENNESSEE
Office of the
Attorney General

Nashville, Tennessee, July 23, 1920
Hon. Joseph E. Jones,
Dresden, Tennessee.
Dear Judge jones'
In reply to your letter of July 18TH regarding
the right OF ex-soldiers to vote without payment of
poll tax, learn from General Thompson that he has
h etofore taken the position that poll tax is not as
sessed unless the of the taxpayer is on the tax
assessors roll with the amount of poll tax due from
him opposite his NAME and that the statute alone is
not sufficient to constitute the assessment that since
the law requires voter to give evidence that he has
paid only that poll tax which has been assessed against
him. condition to his right to vote if his is
not the assessors books he has not been assessed
and is, therefore, entitled to vote without paying
poll tax In the present case this would of course,
apply to the year 1919,
While the question is doubtful it occurs to that
the doubt should be resolved in favor of the voter
peciay he is ex-sodier you suggest and that
until some court has held the contrary the election
officers can we'll afford to permit the soldier to vote
without paying the poll tax if his name is the
tax rolls for 1919. l do not believe that can be
more definite than this and trust that you will have
l O trouble with the proposition in your county.
Your friend,
WILL H. SWIGGART, Jr.

DEATH Of AN AGED
MOTHER IN ISRAEL
Mrs. Virginia billiard Passes
Away at Ripe Old Age.
Greatly Beloved Woman

After weary weeks and weeks of
intense suffering, Mrs. Virginia Hill
lard passed away Tuesday morning
at an early hour at her home, near
Mt. Pelia. Living with the aged
lady was her son, Henry Hilliard,
who with his family, had given her
every attention.
Mrs. billiard was IS years Of age.
She was born and reared in the vi
cinity of Palmersville, being the
daughter of Coleman Buckley, de-
ceased. EARLY in life she was
united in marriage to William Hill
lard, the couple locating near Mt.
Pelia, where Mr.. billiard died sew
eral years ago. Surviving this I'M
ion are nine children, seven boys and
two girls, as follows: Jim, Claud,
Charlie, Henry, Albert, Neal and
Mark, Mrs. Bob Cravins and Mrs.
Carl Poynter. Mrs. Hilliard lived
to see all her children married and
rearing families and prospecting in
life. She was a loyal and devout
member Of Cane Creek Primitive
Baptist church for 60 years, end is
it said seldom missed the annual
meeting day at the historic old
house of worship. Last year, when
the annual meeting was held, she
was there with all her children and
their families and was the center
of attraction and interest. She was
widely known and extensively loved
for her sweet, christian character
for to know her was to love her.
In earlier days she was a mlnlsterlng
angel in the community where there
was sickness or distress. Mrs. Hill
lard was woman of unusual intel
ligence which she put into practl-
cal use in the management OF her
household duties. She endeared her
self to all by her sweet disposition
and piety. No woman who has gone
out from the community in recent
wears will be missed more than
Grandma billiard. But the silver
cord has been loosed, the withered
hand folded and the soul OF
mother waited away to that home
prepared for those who live as she
had lived, but to the sorrowing chill
dren and grand children the conso-
lation is theirs to know that she had
remained with them to bless, COM
fort and inspire them all these years
"a blessing all of us do not enjoy.
The remains were tenderly laid
to rest Wednesday at Cane Creek
burying ground by the side of her
husband. Profound sympathy is ex-
tended the bereaved.

GOV. REPORT FORE
CASTS BIG CROPS
300, 900, 600 Bushels Wheat, as
Against 100000 Five
Year Average.

Washington, July 28.-Cheer up
everybody, for the farmers are farm
ing. After allowing a wide margin
for an unprecedented farm labor
shortage in many sections of the
country and in the face of transpor-
tation complications which fol-
months have restricted crop move
ments, American farmers have come
through this veritabIe maze of diff
ficulties with flying colors. May
not this reinsurance achievement
auger good performance for 9TH
er factors relating to crop produc-
ton and distribution?
There is ample cause for good
cheer and general rejoicing in the
governments reports from the farms.
For example, there lis indicated a
wheat production of 800,OOO,OOO
bushels, as against the preceding
five-year average of 844,000,000
bushels. This reassuring showing
is bolstered by a surplus of last
years wheat crop amounting to
more than 47,0OO,OOO bushels. The
encouraging and very creditable
feature of the years wheat produc-
ton lies in the fact that the farmers
have Appropriated the five-year
average despite undiminished COM
plexities and decline in exports.
Government reports as to corn
production prospects are likewise
reassuring in the announced expec-
pectation of crop Of 2,779, 900, 600
bushels approximately 100000
bushels short of the average yield
of the last five years. Decreased
European exports of pork and beef
is suggested as the cause of the de-
cline in corn production. The esti-
mated corn crop is still 25,OOO,OO0
bushels in excess Of the average of
the five years prior to 1914, When
Americas big meat exports began.
With plenty of corn there should
be plenty of pork the coming win
ter.
In the matter of potatoes there is
an increase Of 3O,OOO,OO0 bushels
over Sss, 100000 bushels,
