LONDON, July "a truce has
been declared between England and
Ireland. 1t will take effect at noon
on Monday next. Preparations are
already under way to end the HOSTILE
ties between the crown forces and
those actively engaged in the Irish
cause. Eamon de Valera has con-
sented to meet Lloyd George in a
conference.
Developments leading to the truce
were divided between London and
Dublin. In Dublin de Valera and
his nationalist associates renewed
their conference with the southern
Unionists. Earl Middleton, Union
ist, who recently conferred with the
British prime minister, read letter
from Mr.. Lloyd George to the effect
that hostilities must cease if negotia-
tions looking to peace were to sue
ceed.

BEN BARRETT SAYS
IT'S GOSPEL TRUTH
The Following Fish Story is
Vouchsafed For By Ben Bar.
ret Whose Veracity Has
Never B e en- Successfully
Challenged.

The biggest fish, l understand that
was ever caught in Tennessee was
captured by wel,-known fisherman.
captured by a well-known fisherman,
MIR. Robt. Scott of near Medina.
The fish was located and found in
a part of the old channel of the mid
die Forkedeer river in the 10th dis
trict of Madison County. This fish /
understand, was cut off by the new
channel and left in the bend of the
old river by the dredge boat while
dredging in District No. a.
The sight of this monster big fish
being seen by large number of peo-
pie fishing and passing through this
part of the bottom attracted the at
tention of people for many miles
around and seemed that there was a
big craze of everybody to capture
this supposed to be young whale.
There was great lot of tree tops
that had been cut and felled in this
water and that made it very hard to
catch this big fish. l suppose there
had been two or three hundred differ
ent people there trying to catch this
fish. Some with seines but they only
got them torn up by the fish. / un-
derstand he had been shot several
times while plowing through the
brush and tree tops in this pool of
water but it seemed that all efforts
had failed.
They were thinking of forming q
company, think, to build and equip
submarine or fishboat with harpoons
to capture this fish when Mr.. Scott
took advantage of the stock company
that was to build the boat and waded
in his own equipment and succeeded
in the capture and with help got him
out on the bank. / understand when
they dressed the fish they found a
fish inside weighing about 81 pounds
and one crane skeleton supposed to
be some ones pet having metal
