Turley Stewart, freed from the
clutches of the law at Mayfield on
last Thursday, has returned to his
home here, and the many friends of
the family are highly gratified over
the Kentucky governor showing this
deserved clemency in the boys case,
in view of the extenuating circum-
stances
Young Stewart had been sentenced
to the Kentucky state penitentiary
for a period of one year for his
concern in the removal of an auto
mobile from a garage in Mayfield,
and the case was recently affirmed
by the supreme court. Previous to
this confirmation, however. Cover
nor Morrow had issued pardopsfor
him, it being dated May 2pd, but

after the decision of /fhe higher
court, before it was pfade effective.
Several hundred Graves county citi-
zens signed the petition for Glenn
ency, and the case was fully re-
viewed by Cow Morrow, who felt
that the circumstances were such
that young Stewart should not be
required to Serve a period in the

OLD SOLDIERS

Plans for the Confederate Reunion
to be held at Hazel July 10, were
furthered at the meeting of the
Fitzgerald Kendall Camp y. c. ",
at the court house, Monday after
noon. This meeting has an unus-
ually splendid attendance, there be-
ing twenty of the thirty-seven camp
members present in addition to other
visitors.
Instead of strictly a county re-
union, 1t was decided to have the
reunion in conjunction with the
u. C. v. Camp at Hazel, as the two
camps are closely associated. Each
camp is to bear part of the expenses.
An interesting talk was made the
veterans by Mrs. Alexander b. White,
whom the old soldiers always delight
to hear, because of her ever active
interest in their comfort and pleas

Short talks were also made by

TOBACCO CROP
BEING DELAYED
Adverse Weather Conditions Delay
Planting; Also Causes Fur
Their Deterioration.
(BY w. B. Kennedy. }

Weather conditions have con

for the movement of loose tobacco,
very light The market has shown
more strength on all grades, but
the offerings and sales were made
up entirely of low, common ana
medium leaf and Jugs, and prices
about the same as last week.
The continued dry weather condi-
lions has caused farmers to be less
anxious about selling their old crop
and buyers have not been as active
in the country as they We're last
week and very little business was
done at the barn door during the
past week.
The dry weather is causing a fur
Their delay in planting, also further
deterioration of plants. No doubt
that many of the earlier plants are
over grown and too large to trans
plant On the other hand many OF
the later plants are burning on the
beds for lack of moisture and at
present the outlook is anything but
encouraging for this years crop, bat
a good general rain can still cure
all of the ills, and the intended
planting gotten out. We have seen
this condition SO often and even
worse than at present all remedied
by good general rains, and we think
if we can have a good general
season within the next week or two,
that the intended planting will be
gotten out, but not in as good con
dition as it would be il planted
right away, and the longer good
season is put off, the less favorable
conditions are for a planting, and
for making good tobacco, but there
is still plenty of time for the plant
ing and cultivation and it is only
a question of whether there will b.
sufficient good plants when the
season comes

as with the exception of North Pop
lar street, every street in the city
is beyond repairs, and it would not
right now with asphalt permanent
construction and let the others suf-
fer until the city could afford its
third of the expense, which 1t was
figured would extend the street con-
struction program over period of
five or more years. Gravel streets
with sand and oil surface have
proven TO give satisfaction in Paris
where they have been maintained,
and now with the added permanenoy
of curb and gutter, scarifying the
WORKOUT streets and resurfacing
them with added gravel and material,
Paris should have as good streets of
almost a permanent construction
status as any city. by maintaining
them in regular annual oiling and
sanding without calling on the prop
erty owners to provide the oil.
Speaking of the conditions at
Union City, the mayor said they
were just launching a series of ordi-
nances there under the front-foot
law of 1913 for hard
surface streets in the main section
of the city, both business and resi-
dence, but that there was quite lot
of opposition to the plan on account
of the expense to the abutting prop
erty owners as well as to the city.
However, the property owners have
no recourse under the law, and the
matter lies wholly within the juris.
diction of the city council to proceed
with the program. As to Union
City's general civic conditions, how
ever, the mayor said that Paris was
easily 10 years ahead of them.

drilling ceremonies We're spectacular.
A keynote of excitement pervaded
the air, as If something unexpected
would happen. The mammoth ma
ohinery was viewed in wonderment
by those who were unfamiliar with
oil drilling apparatus. 1t was sort
of huge holiday for the community,
and the many who came from a
considerable distance to witness the
initial drilling.
Col. A. M. Weslow of the Hoge
Oil and Gas Company, who have
charge of this oil prospect, spoke to
the hundreds of people gathered of
the geology of West Tennessee as
denoting an oil strata, also of the
different geological surveys of West
Tennessee soil since 1870, that would
indicate presence OF oil in this
county, He further stated that ac-
cording to recent announcement there
would be no more of the Hoge Oil
and Gas stock for sale after last
Tuesday, June q.
The drillers on the Wayne Bowden
farm are oil men of experience and
ability, some having been as much
as rs years in the work, and if there
be either oil or gas in this particu-
lar terra firma will certainly locate
it. Their machinery is the latest
and most efficient for the purpose.
Many people are optimistic over
the oil question in this county and

eagerly watched, and motorists from
