"reminiscences.
By W. v Barry, In Nashville Tennessean, March q

Old man Pat Braden ran store in
the town of Purdy, McNairy county,
before the civil war of the sixties in
the last century and one first Monday
Fir. Braden and a fellow with whom
he was having a settlement in the
back of the store had a row which re-
suited in old man Braden chasing the
fellow the full length of the house,
out the front door and across the pub
lie square, distance of about 100
yards. AS they went out the Braden
store front door, Mr.. Braden grabbed
moving blade or wheat scythe and
cradle which was hanging there to in
dictate that he had such things to sell.
My daddy, DR.. Daniel Barry, who
witnessed the race, said that Braden
could naturally beat the other fellow
running, and bampered as he was
with the wheat cradle, he would gain
on the man he wa spersuing until he
would make a swipe at him with the
thing he was carrying, when the pur-
sued man would bend forward the
middle of his body, and old man Bra
den would miss him with the blade,
and the fugitive would gain ground,
finally making his escape-and that
was the end of the settlement.
1t was told that during the said
Civil war somebody stole two ponies
belonging to old man Braden, who
armed himself, pursued the thief, and
came back leading the two ponies.
AT last accounts the thief had not
again been heard of.

Old Wash Gage, one Of the good
fellows who never failed to go to
the county site town on first Monday
and get drunk, lived beyond Bethel,
on the M. & 0. Railroad and some
times when he came to Purdy and got
on a spree, he prolonged his absence
from home and continued his drunk
at Bethel. Wash's wife was a semi
invalid and sometimes when he came
to get medicine for her from my
daddy, DR.. Daniel Barry, the result
was the same and Wash did not get
home for several days. One time
when he continued his drunk in the
town of Bethel and lay out in the
open, seemingly lost to the world, the
boys made ring of shavings arounc
him and set them afire. Directly
when the shavings burning made &
ring of fire, Uncle Wash raised up or
one elbow, looked around, remarked
"Oh, yes, dead and in hell, just as
expected" and laid back to rest,

LONDON. Jan. ia religious re-

urged by British business men.
Continuation Of industrial strife in
the western nations is declared to be
a certainty unless religious means Of

found Little hope is held out OF
finding a common ground OF mutual
between capital and
labor as long as dollar hurting Is
the sole ideal of everybody.
A struggle to sec who can get the
most dollars will certainly leave both
sides exhausted and permanently em-
blttcred. say British economists, X
matcrialism continues to dominate all
mems motives. The only way to
bring the world back to its senses,
this element declares, is to start the
world thinking about something be-

The reaction against materislistic
attempts to overcome the human ele-

signs of sincerity. Financiers are de-
claring they feel the need of religious
incentive for themselves in settling
labor troubles just as much as for the
workingmen.
