The candidates had great time at
SCOTS Hill last Saturday. There was
splendid barbecued dinner and the
conditions for the speaking were
ideal. SCOTS Hill is the Democratic
end of the 18th district, hence the boys
had many of that political faith to
hear them.

Esq. T. M. Hanna left for Sardis
last Saturday to spend week or
two on the work of building a barn for
Mr.. Scott Little. As a matter of mere

necessary for Esq. Hanna to walk the
10 miles to Sardis-a feat he can yet
perform without difficulty.
The Progress man made trip last
Friday to the Parsons vicinity to visit
his brother, Sterling Barry, who has
, been confined to his bed for some
time and has not gotten along salts
factorily since the serious operation
he had to undergo some four months
ago.
1t has long been our intention to
announce our friend Tom Hays as a
perpetual candidate-for the pri-
vate walks in life, farming preferred.
Tom has the right idea in his belief
that most can be gotten out of life on
the farm-with a trip to Lexington
now and then to get his tobacco and
etceteras.

chant, accompanied by Mrs. Powers

trip to Texas, New Mexico and a lit
tie run over to Jurez, old Mexico-the
first time either of the trio ever set
foot on ground other than that of the
United States.

her much suffering and her husband
much uneasiness.
