THE END OF HIS RUN

One very lev morning tall, thin
man was making his way gingerly
down a steep hill, when all Of sud-
den he slipped and fell, and being
unable to catch hold Of anything,
went sliding down the hill at full
length Just as he reached a street
crossing about half way down the hill
he collided with large fat lady who
was just returning from q shopping
tour, and had her arms full Of bum
dies. She fell, too, and came just
in time to light on the poor man, and
being helpless, she sat there while
he, acting as a sled for her, tookher
to the bottom of the hill. At last
they came to a stop, and as the fat
lady was trying to get her breath
and rise she heard faint voice I'M
derneath her saying: Excuse me,
madam, but I'll have to ask you to
get off here. This is as far as | go"

D. 5 TREATY FACES
LOSS 0F MILLION
. g-Atts1 ItHU Ill MHIHIU

Washington. July 1.-The best le-
Isal brains are now pitted against an
lEndermanned corps of government
lawyers in a court battle to decide
Whether Uncle Sans already cramp-
ed pocketbook will be "stung'' for an
other $1,000, 100000.
That sum is tied up in claims
against the government as a result
of the war. Some of them have
some, legal basis others are charac-
terized by officials as notorious at
tempts to further tap the public treas
ury Still others are tide up in de-
layed litigation, the result of snap
judgment opinions of "dollar year"
experts of the legal persuasior.
This is the situation confronted by
Attorney General Daugherty who re-
allies the immensely of the task.
AS the attorney general waded into
this job with the small staff of law
yers he saw the prospect Of many mil
lions more lost to the government
through the shrewdness of war
schemers most of them of the "parti-
eteer' type, unless congress realizes
that it will be real economy measure
to provide more funds for the treas
ury's defenses.
What he now seeks from congress
he said, is sufficient money for legal
and investigative talent that will put
the department of justice in a posi-
tion sufficiently strong to combat the
vast array of legal minds retained at
stupendous fees to make this drive on
the treasury.
IF we spend a couple of hundred
Thousand dollars to save the treasury
a billion that it would otherwise lose
call it good business economy" said
Daugherty,
Daugherty thinks that many of the
claimants for reimbursement for al.
legged losses under war contracts are
plain, unveneered leeches of a type
that fed themselves fat on the treas
ury in other days and now are trying
to get away with still more plumber
ling. If congress will help him, he
says, he will stop this form of grab
and treasury pilfering.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT

To show how public sentiment has
changed, this instance is given:
Shortly after the civil war, Maj.
John Sawyers OF Rutledge, and other
revenue officers made rai6,near
Mulberry Gap to capture some stills
where the revenue was not paid. The
officers were fred on and ran almost
to Tazewell. The government sent a
company of cavalry after them, The
first night they camped on the then
vacant lot now occupied by the Pro-
gress office, the Sanford building and
the New DIXIE Theatre. Of course
the citizens all turned out to see the
soldiers, and about all of them we're
against the revenue officers.
The captain in charge felt the
same way, and walked up to the as
sembled citizens, said: Gentlemen, ]
am just as ashamed of this business
as you are"

A reunion program has been tenta-

receptions and breakfasts to COM

union; annual balls for sponsors,
veterans and sons of veterans; pa

OBION AND LAKE IN
ONE BIG BARBECUE
Preparations for Great Gathering
From 0bion and Lake.

Arrangements are now in order fol
one of the most important meeting.
and one that affects more people il
Obion and Lake counties probably
than any that has ever been held in
either of the two counties.
Lake County is building a perma-
nent public highway from Upton
vile to Reelfoot Lake, and it is said
to be almost completed to the spill
way. Dyer County and Fulton Coun-
ty, KY, are making an effort to con-
meet with this highway for the pur-
pose, it is obvious, to draw the Lake
County people either north or south.
Obion County made provision some
time ago for a State highway to the
lake, a link of the Bristol-to-M Mem
phis highway, via Union City, Troy
and Hornbeak. Bonds were author
ized to the amount of $150,00O, the
State to allot $150,000 and the Fed
eral Government $150,O00. Obion
County is now next in order for high
way appointments, and this is the
route to be built.
The State of Tennessee has already
made extensive improvements on it's
property at Reelfoot Lake and the
building of this road is to serve two
purposes: First to connect with the
State reservation at Reelfoot Lake
and next to make connecting link
in the Bristol-to-Memphis highway.
The Reelfoot Lake property is
State property and the State must
make provision for highway connec-
tions to the main lines of railway.
The people of Obion and Lake coun-
ties are locally interested of course,
and preparations are being made to
entertain the Governor, the Highway
Commission the magistrates of the
two counties and everyone at Reel
foot Lake in October
A committee is now in charge of
the proposition-a big barbecue and
fish fry on the property of the State
at Reelfoot Lake. A meeting was
held Tuesday night to confer with |
people at the different points to or
ganize this big barbecue. Union City, |
Troy, Hornbeak and intermediate |
points are invited to take part in the
The committe is to be enlarged
with members from all these points
and all are to work together for this
grand gathering of the people of the
two counties. 1t is expected to be
general meeting. 1t is promoted for
no selfish purposes and by no special
interests.
Everybody in the two counties is
invited to take an interest in the
work.
Remember that the route has al
.eady been adopted, the Bristol-to-
Memphis highway from Weakley
Jounty to Union City, Troy, Horn
Deak, Samburg, and Lake County.

Chattanooga Tenn, Sept. 28.-
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Confederate veterans were invited to
come to Chattanooga this year for
their reunion at the eleventh hour,
when great many experienced men
said the time was so short that the
necessary preparations could not be
made to receive and entertain the
convention, the work of organization
has progressed so favorably that
there is no doubt whatever that the
committees will be ready for their
guests October "a. the first day of the
reunion. The original dates Of the
reunion were October 25, 26 and 27,
but in order to give the cons Of Con-
federates chancee to hold their re-
union a day in advance of the re-
union of the Confederate veterans
the dates have been made October "a,
25, 26 and 81.
Chairman w. NJ Hudiburg, of the
reunion executive committee, has
called around him the very best tall
ent the community affords for the
kind of work that is demanded of
reunion city. Men of national activ-
ity and acquaintance are seen around
the headquarters every day giving
advice, serving on important COM
mittee and lending their influence
generally. Among these may be men
toned G. H. Huston, assistant Sec
retary Of commerce in President
Harding's cabinet, former United
States Senator James B. Frazier, for
mer United States Senator Newell
Sanders, Hon. H. Clay Evans, Con-
gresham Joseph Brown, and others.
All county and city officials are also
giving of their time and influence to
the committee, many of them serving |
on committees as chairmen or mem
bers. Among these may be mention
ed Mayor A. w. Chambliss, County |
Judge S. A. Conner, Criminal Court |
Judge Sam ID. McReynolds, City Com
missioners Ed Bass, Emil Wassman,

ployees and are giving their time to

CONFEDERATES MEET
AT CHATTANOOGA
United Confederate Veterans.

Veteran comrades please take no
tice.
General Headquarters will be at
the Patten Hotel, during the Chatta-
nooga reunion.
The convention meetings will be
held in the Billy Sunday tabernacle,
the largest building in Chattanooga.
Your attention is called to the res
olution passed at Houston, Texas,
limiting official ladies at all general
reunions, for departments, divisions,
brigades and camps, as follows: One
sponsor, three maids of honor, one
cheperone and one matron of honor
This rule is to be strictly adhered
to. Appointments are restricted to
descendants of loyal Confederates.
Official ladies of divisions, bri-
gades and camps will pay their own
expenses, as heretofore.
Camp officers should understand
that official ladies of camps are ap-
pointed for State, district and local
reunions. and have no functions at
nationa | reunions, and therefore
must not expect any badges furnish
ed, and will only wear their CAMP
badges, which they bring with them
to the reunion.
Tho general committee at Chatta-
nooga asks that we fraternally ex-
plain to our comrades that the time
is so short that it is impossible to
raise sufficient funds to entertain
ALL vetreans who come to the re-
union, free; and therefore they re-
quest that all veterans who are ABLE
tc pay for room AMI board will do so,
so that those who are UNABLE TO
will probably have to be done in pri-
vate families, as the time is too
short to make other feeding arrange
ments, even if the funds were suffi-
cient. They trust that all veterans
will understand their situation
RATES FOR ROOM AND BOARD
WILL yEPT REASONABLE.
Departments, divisions and bri-
gadcs will please APPOINT THEIR
OFFICIAL LADIES AT ONCE, and
advise the reunion committee at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, of said appointments.
