MRS. SARA RANDALL
ATTENDS INAUGURATION

Mrs. Sara Puckette Randall, former
, Hawesville girl attends the Inaugural
ton of President Harding in Wash
ington. March 4th. Mrs. Randall. be-
ing guest of Mr.. John Fasque, Private
: Secretary of Senator McDuffy. of
Alabama. Below is portion of let
ter of description to her mother, Mrs.
Margaret Puckette of this city:
We'll, the great even happened
yesterday and I'm glad it's all over.
Mr.. Harding sure did have wonder
full day for his Inauguration. 1t was
clear and sunshiny, though pretty cold
In spite of the omission of the parade
ball, etc, the town was simply packed
tho all flags were at half mast because
of Champ Clark's death The reserved
seats were very limited and you had
to have tickets for them-and the
tickets of course were not for sale. but
were given to each member. Senator,
etc No member had over four tickets.
Mr.. McDuffy was perfectly lovely to
John and gave him two tickets-so
we were mighty close to the Presi-
dent. Couldn't have been more than
twelve feet away, which was certainly
privilege. Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.,
was within a foot of me Wouldn't
you think from his pictures. that he
was a great big husky man? Well he
isn't, he is mighty diminutive.
The Inauguration was rather solemn
and beautiful. 1t was expected to take
place about IL O'Clock, but it didn't
start until about 2 or after. You see
the Goth, Congress had to be absolute
ly wound up and dead be-
fore the new administration could
start.
Harding took his oath on the Cap
itol steps, and by the aid of an ampli-
fer his speech could be heard for "a
of mile. 1t is little electrical mach
inc that rested on the stand in front
of him and carried his voice to the
thousands standing around.
After the oath was taken the Marine
band played the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" and all the men stood with hats
off, and not a sound was heard. Then
came his address. 1t was a wonderful
speech and if he means it we will have
a glorious administration. He is GER
tainly against the League and says
abnormal prices can be reduced and
they must That sounds good doesn't
it?
Poor Mr.. Wilson rode to the Cap
itol with the inaugural party, but he
had to be lifted into the machine. He
has no control over one side of his
body. It's very sad to think how he
has broken himself down in the SER
vice of his people. Everyone says he
will not live long
The White House grounds and
Mansion are wide open to the people
as in the days of Roosevelt, This p.
m. as | came from work there were
several hundred people on the lawn
and the big iron gates were wide open
with not even guard at the gates.
That is going to make big hit with
the people. "-Hancock Clarion.

COUNTY FARM Blu.
REAU MEETING
Sealed Bids Received on Fertil-
izer; Contract Let to- Armour
& Co. at S28 Per Ton.

The Breckenridge County Farm Blu
reau through its buying committee
met at their headquarters last Satur-
day for the purpose of purchasing
fertilizer. Representatives of quite a
number of the largest fertilizer COM
panies in the country were present.
The purchasing committee of the Blu
reau, announced that they would re-
ceive sealed bids from each company
and would buy their fertilizer from
the lowest and best bidder. Bids were
handed in by the following companies
Read Phosphate Co., Nashville. Tenn. ;
Price Chemical Co, Louisville, KY;
Armour x Co., Louisville, ny: Tir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Co, Cincin-
natl, Ohio; International Agricultural

of fertilizer is in very unsettled
condition. Farmers would not stand
for the price given out at the start
which was about $31 per ton after
words reduced to SIS.
The Farm Bureau has lowered all
these prices and it will be well for
farmers at once to see the agents of
the Bureau who are taking orders for
carload lots. 1t is to be regretted very
much that some interests seem oppos-
ed to the Farm Bureau or any other
organizations of farmers who buy
fertilizer and other goods needed in
the operation of farms in large guam
titles and at wholesale prices. We I'M
derstand that some of these interests
are inclined to cut under any price
the Farm Bureau may establish in
order to cripple the organization and
reflect discredit upon it,
1t is well known now. that the Farm
Bureau has brought down the price
of fertilizer, field seeds. and other
commodities to an astonishing degree
And if their system of buying can be
eliminated, prices will at once go
back to the original figures. The Farm
Bureau therefore earnestly requests
that its members will stand to their
organization and purchase their fer
tilizer through the Bureau.

out "it represents, on the whole, a
