Fairview Notes

An advertisement sppearning in the
last issue of The Falcon makes US feel
sad. The adv. referred to announced
that on certain date two rural school
houses will be sold to the highest
bidder. II 10 not meant to attach any
blame to the gentlemen who are con-
verting these houses into cash for In all
probability it is the best thing to do
under the circumstances. But the sad
part of the matter Is. that 1t indicates
that our rural school system Is being
undermined. The bad condition of
our roads for much of the time makes
It impractical to run wagonettes and so
considerable numbers Of our children
are left without school advantages. If
the citizens of nur rural communities
had proper appreciation Of thevalue
of the home school they should not suf-
fer them to be depleted and finally alb
aned. II has been thought by some
hat any kind Of teacher and any kind
of equipment or none at allIus was good
enough for the country school let wake up
Let us see the educational advantages
furnished our children are not inferior
to those in town, Then let us support
that school. II teachers Of doubtful
ability or training must be employed.
let them teach In the town schools
where their work is under the direction
and supervision of sn able principal
and let Us put the strongest and best
teachers in the rural schools where one
teacher must teach and control so many
grades. Then let US back up that
teacher. Our rural schools are the
hope of our country.
Our teacher has had the ninth grade
parsing in grammar for several weeks.
We have begun to grasp the meaning
Of parsing. At fret we thoughtit was
not doing Us any good, but now we

Lincoln and Davis
From the Toledo Blsde)

On q memorial park laid out within
the county of Todd, In Kentucky. the
gray fragments Of the Confederate
army will rally on June 8, 1921, to see
unveiled the l75-foot obelisk which is
the last offering of the south to JEFF
ferson Davis, On this site, la years
ago, was born the Confederacy. foi
here was born the man who for rs
years before the Civil War and rs
years after 1t maintained implacsbly
the doctrine of state rights. the prin-
ciple of secession, the contention that
the constitution is voluntary compsct
Of sovereign states. 1t is mystery Of
fate which brought two Kentucky lads
of similar age born lao miles apart, to
the forefront 10 the most romantic Of
all wars. 1t was a double mystery that
one course of life should lead Lincoln
forward as an apostle Of Inationalism
and another course of life made Davis
the champion Of state rights. Yet from
early manhood Lincoln always saw the
Union above all, and from early man
hood Davis cherished the state. He
cherished 1t to the point Of sacrifice.
When bis wounds and galiantry in the
Mexican war brought him an sppoint-
ment from President Polk as brlgadier
general Of volunteers, he refused, de-
clsring that only state :could make {
an officer of state volunteers. Wounds
and gsllantry in the Mexican War!
Who remembered that Davis shed his
blood for the nation? who remembers
that be served in the Black Hawk
War, that as secretary OF war under
Pierce he created new artillery and a
new inf, ntrs? These were nationll
acts, and Davis desired no fame as
He chose bis own field OF
service for danger or renown he was
Of the Confederscy tefore It was born
and after II was dead and he would
DOW rather be dear to q remnant of
gray veterans than command the

To Strawberry Growers

A meeting of the proposed straw
berry growers Of this section will meet
at the courthouse at 2 p. m. next
Tuesday, October IL, and every citizen
interested 10 the project willbe expect
ed to be present
It will be remembered that last spring
when our neighboring counties were
growing rich from marketing the berry
crop while we in this county wondered
where we would get the means to fl
nance the making of crop, we came
together with much enthusiasm, orgab-
lied ian association, pledged to plant
more than a hundred acres of berries at
once, and had the very best of inten-
tions, Then it was found from the ad-
vice Of experts in berry line that we
were too late to take the risk then, and
that we should defer planting until
next March. A committee was appoint
ed to solicit funds to finance the project
and another meeting was to be held
when the monev was raised to 60 ahead
with. Right there we stopped last
spring. But we had the advice to be-
gin preparing for berry planting this
fall, and it is for this purpose that the
meeting will be next Tuesday.
There is money in berry growing and
every section OF Tennessee that has
gone into the business and stayed in it
is prosperous and felt but little hard
times OF last year and this. And Il
this county will get into the business in
good hard earnest and stay IN 1t year
in and year out like they stay In the
cotton raising game it will be one the
richest counties in the state and its
farmers and business men will laugh at
panics, just as did the other berry
growing sections of West Tennessee.
Just when we were worrying over
financing the 1921 farm crop, Hum.
boldt received for her berry crop half
million dollars, she got little later
almost as much more for her green
peas, beans and tomatoes. and the hard
times that prevailed In the cotton sec-
tion never touched her. Other berry
and vegetable sections Jared just as
we'll as did Humboldt. And it is our
way to prosperity and an easier condition
gnancially. Let Us oil meet Tuesday,
farmers, business and professional men,
We are all interested.

Registers Run-Off Election

10 the Registers Run-0ff Primary
last Saturday Richard P. 0zier defeat
ed G. M. Reames by vote of 1912 TO
h58, according to returns from the
districts as posted Saturday. The Of
fetal returns from the several districts
will be found below.
Few more hotly contested elections
have been held in this county before.
In the fret primary there weresix can.
didates, and Ozier and Reames received
the two highest votes,and went into the
run-off last Saturday. Neither had
been candidate before the Democrats
of the county before, but both had
good backing among the Old-tiniers in
politics of the county. 0zier is a son
in-law Of M. l.. Farris, former Sheriff
and who came within one vote of de-
feating the late Junius Hobson fer
Register eight years ago this fall.
Reames is a brother of former Trustee
s. B. Resmes, who served two terms
in that Office. These facts gave pres
tige to the respective candidates and
every inch of ground in the, race was
hotly contested right up to the hour OF
voting
The new nominee for Register is yet
under 80, is farmer of this dristict,
made crop this year and told The
Falcon Monday that be would don his
work clothes and gather his own crop
between now and cold weather. He is
a World-war veteran. and is counted
one of the county's best young lmen.
The big majority given him in this
primary is a compliment he can very
we'll feel proud of.
Following is the official vote by pre-
cincts as canvsssed by the County
Committee which met in the court
house on Wednesday of this week.

Franklin Pierce Wiggins

Born In 1856. May 26, lived to man.
hood, married IL 1910. died September
IL. 1921, without ever removing from
the place Of bis birth. Such is q brief
history of Franklin Pierce Virgins who
passed to his reward at his home near
Hewletps store in the Eleventh district
OF Fayette county recently.
Frank (as he was known to his family
and friends) Wiggins counted his friends
by scores. for be was of that genial
and cordial manner and dispOtion that
won him for friend every man with
whom he came in contact. A cripple
from early life. he bore affliction
patiently, met every crisis with q smile
and carried goodwill where ever he
went. Few men have I grown to
manhood in Fa5ette county who held
more whole-souled friendship for those
ne esteemed his friends than did Frank
Wiggins.
And in his home be was what husband
and father should be, and the small
son whom he leaves has 10 the life and
good name Of his father a fine heritage,
an example worthy Of emulation in
thousand ways. Tho bis life brought
him riches, there were other things he
lived for and enjoyed, and these are to
be cherished 10 the memory of bis son.
MIR. Wiggins married Miss Lille
HerreDdcD, of Imbodep, Arkansas, in
1910, and she, with one small son, sur
wives him. There are surviving the
following brothers and sisters: Wyle
Virgins of Macon, Will Virgins, of
Leland, Miss, Mrs. June Carter of
Little Rock, Arkar sss, and Mrs. j. H
Humphreys Of. Yum Yum.
Deceased was member Of the IMs,h.
