Department Has Laid Over
81 Miles of Water Mains

The water department during Mayor
Carson's administration has granted IS
petitions for water service. The mains
have been laid and the water is now be-
ing used in homes, stores and factories.
There are 81 petitions on file all asking
for service and many of them cannot be
granted until the general service is ex-
tended. Twelve petitions have been
granted and the pipe has been distrib-
uted. The mains will be buried this sum-

The extention of the water system
has not only benefited individual
users and industrial plants but has
enabled home builders to develop
new additions. The following are
some of the specific incidents under
the Carson administration cooper
ating with home builders and manu-
facturers: water mains laid on Wal
nut street to serve Oliver factory;
w. Indiana avenue, Webster, Arnold

The City water department has
been called upon to lay pipe in ap-
proximately 90 street intersections
where new pavement was layed.
Mains have been extended to serve
homes which heretofore depended
upon driven and dug wells whose
supply would give out in dry
weather. This has been done at a
large expense which will be over
come as new houses are built and
consumers added.

YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILDCAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against Use
OF Treacherous. Dangerous
CaIomel.

Calomel sa1ivatesi It's mercury.
Ca1omel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calome1 comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
It, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle Of Dodr
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
Is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous ,calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
strafghten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full Of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give to children
they like it.-Advertisement

MINISTER DISCUSSES
HIS WIFE'S TROUBLES

Rev. A. H. Sykes, former pastor of
the Watkins Park Presbyterian church,
Nashville, Tenn, says:
after seeing what Tanlao has &C.
complished in my wife's case, I am
convinced that it is a medicine of
great power and extraordinary merit.
I do not think I have ever seen any
thing give such prompt results. Mrs.
Sykes had been in delicate health for
ten months, suffering from stomach
trouble and nervous breakdown.
II frequently sought medical ad-
vice but Tanlac is the only thing that
gave her any relief. After taking the
medicine only a short time, she was
able to sit up and help with the house
hold duties. / think it only a short
time until her health will be fully re-
stored"

"There is a wide opinion that pub
lie sentiment must jerk up every large
employer of labor and by abuse and
villitication bring him into contempt
when he exercises his undoubted priv
ilege to refuse to enter into contract
which he does not want to enter into
with his employees. It is his own busl-
ness, and no man has any right, even
those who want to make the contract
which the employer in the exercise OF
his undoubted liberty, will not make,
to become angry with him, and abuse
him and hate him."

FIRST BALE FOR 1921

The first bale Of cotton for the
1921 season was sold on the public
square Tuesday, August 30, by Mr.
y, W. Hill, which was two weeks
earlier than last year, when Mr.. Hill
marketed the first bale. The cotton
was raised on Mr.. r. V. Downing's
place in the 18th district, and was
mt Of a field Of 100 acres, which is
ready to be picked Mr.. L. r. Graves
purchased the bale, which weighed
500 pounds, and it brought 20 cents
pound. The bale which Mr.. Hill
sold last year weighed 425 pounds
and sold for 80 1-16 cents. 1t is
unusual for the same man to have
the distinction Of marketing the first
bale two years in succession
If the good weather continues we
there is a probability Of
a number Of bales BEING put on the
market In the next few days.
The dav this bale was sold the
market price was is cents, but as this
rs the first bale there was a prem
rum of five cents pound. making
on the bale a premium Of S25.
Last year the first bale was sold
on Sentember 10, which means that
the cotton season is somewhat adj
vaneed over last year.

MAJOR M. A. WALKER
HIGHLY HONORED
ELECTED PRESIDENT COTTON
STATES MERCHANTS
Progressive CovingtOn Business Man
Handed Honor Upon Silver Plat
ter, SO To Speak--Was Not
Candidate For Place and Plead For
Arkansas Mantle Major APP
preciates Honor and Will Keep
Up Fight For Progress.

The Cotton States Merchants AS
ISOLATION, which closed one of its
most successful meetings in Memphis
last week, conferred a distinct honor
upon our county and town BY elect
ing Maj. IA. a.. Walker president Of
the organization.
Maj, Walker was in no sense
candidate for the place, as it has
been the custom to alternate the
presidency among the states Of Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Arkansas and
TINS was Arkansas time to have it.
When the time came for the elect
ION, however, Maj. Walker was the
unanimous choice of the nominating
committee, including the members
of that committee from Arkansas.
and the nomination was seconded on
the floor Of the convention bv the
chairman of the Arkansas delegation.
The unanimous election of Mai.
Walker followed and Of course there
was nothing for him to do but to ac-
cept it.
Maj. Walker is one of our most
popular and progressive citizens and
business men. In years gone by he
has worked and given freely Of his |
means, time and talents for the bet
ter things in Covington and Tipton
county, and this was done MANY
times when there were few to helm.
He and faithful few, however. con-
tinued to preach the doctrine Of pro-
gress until 1t soaked in and the
leayen permeated the whole lump,
and we have town and county that
are truly progressive.
At is safe to say that no progress
i've movement has been launched in
Upton county in the past 25 wears
that did not have the active support
Of Maj, Walker.
One Of his dreams came true when
the steel bridge across Hatchie river
joined the county of his birth and
the county Of his adoption. Another
came true when the Jeff Davis
highway began to stretch itself
across the United States and through
Upton county.
others are coming true in the sys-
tenn OF good roads provided for by /
The county court and to be built as
soon as possible, and in the MANY
improvements that are being made
n farming, churches, schools and :
homes. !
We thank the Cotton States Mer- ,
chants Association and congratu-
ate it on electing to its presidencyi
me Of our best merchants, a leading
'itiZen and a man who Is intaIIioantIv
progressive on every public question.
