HICKMAN

Bro. Claude Ramsey filed his
appointment here Saturday and Sun
day. A large audience was out to hear
his able discourse. Our church and
Sunday School have failed so far to
send in directory of it's meetings
but hope the committee on arrange
ments gets the directory out as it is
great thing to let the world know
you are striving to serve the Divine
Master.
Mr.. Rush Huddleston, who has been
IN the east selling mules for the firm
OF Huddleston & Son, returned home
FRIDAY. He had great season COM
pared to some of the shippers. Most
of the shippers quit buying after two
on three loads of good mules failed to
cash enough to make the buyer whole.
Mr.. Huddleston states the financial
outlook in the east is not promising
and that most all business out there
has the Harding blues.
Lloyd Nixon, Assistant cashier of
the Bank of Hickman, is the first per-
son to erect new modern dwelling in
the new addition. He has most of
the framing up and things begin to
look housey over there. The Hick-
man Mill and Supply Co. is erecting
the house but they have been delayed
on account of d. d. Martin, one of the
firm members, having to go to Nash
vile for an operation.
}. +. Agee is loading a large mill
boiler for shipment to the Monterey
Hardwood Flooring Co., who recently
had terrific explosion in their plant.
Their old boiler bursted during work
hours and blew one end through the
mills across space into the dry kiln
tearing its way, wrecking post lumber
and other things in its path, passed
out, and into a large lumber stack.
The ether end passed through the ma
chine shop, cutting belts and framing
IN its path and finally landed in a
small ravine, unable to rise for more
mischief. Nine men were hurt, but
no deaths. 1t seems the boiler rose
ike torpedo and passed overhead
the workmen. The damages were es-
timated at from $500 to $4,000 with
no explosion insurance.
Raiding officers from CookevilIe
came down Friday night and picked no
nice sixty gallon still near here and
made couple of arrests and returned
to Cookeville Saturday morning with
the still and men. The gentlemen
made bond and returned home Satur-
day afternoon. They claim thew were
only passing at the time and did not
know what was doing until called to
halt. We hope the right prevails.
The Presbytery at Union Hill last
Thursday and Friday was attended by
large number of people from abroad
as well as locally Basket dinner was
s served both days. Everybody seemed
+ 10 get all the grub they wanted and
there was more carried away than was
eaten. 1t was reminder of Christ
feeding the multitude on fishes and
loayes. Impressions for much good
I was manifested at the conclusion and
we hope all who attended will live and
in the teachings of this noble Chris
tian body. What is better for anv
community than good churches filed
with christian men and women. good
schools and good public roads. all
linked with food, raiment and the other
necessities of life.
We note Japan has called all her
male citizens, thirty years old and
under, who have not had three years
military training, or more, from all
countries and islands, except the
United States, to the native land for
such training. It is time intelligent
