FALL LINES NOW READY. t>

One of the factors which enable the McClintock-
Field Company to establish it's extraordinary record of
$50O0O0 sales in six months was the fact that the corn
pany started in business with stocks entirely fresh It
is well known that during the war the quality of many
lines especially dry goods deteriorated while the prices
continued skyward.
The McCintock-Field Company began business with
all stocks purchased at time when prewar quality had
been resumed, and near postwar price levels The COM
pany content from the start to do business at mar
row margin of profit consistent with the times and this
led to the phenomenal sales record just remarked In
the fall lines now ready for the merchants there is
not carried over" item; all goods are new and are
owned at todays market Therefore the advantage of
selecting from such stock Of goods is readily apparent
The new fall line includes broad range Of dry goods
furnishings, piece goods, notions and, in addition care
Christmas merchandise, including dolls and toys.
Mr. S. B. Reese is travelling for this company in this
territory.

THE LEGISLATURE.

"Unwept. unhonored and unsung''
the legislature has closed it's caree!
aud adjourned without day. The PEG
pie of Tennessee will breathe a sigh
of relief and again pursue the even
tonor of their way without the men
ace that has existed for the past three
months at Nashville.
Unfortunately despite all of our
expenditures for education the years
see no Improvement in the personnel
of our legislature. On the other hand
there has probably been decline in
the character and ability of the men
who mako up the law-making bodies
of the state during the past quarter
of century.
The legislature that has just closed
its rather ignominious career will be
known for the riot of extravaganza;
the saturnalia of waste; the contempt
uous disregard OF the constitution
which characterized its sessions. 1t
increased very considerably the bur.
dens of taxation; made the largest
appropriations ever made in the his
tory of the state and added immeas.
urably to the cost of living.
In the house there was no real
leadership and none developed Tha.
body was no more a deliberate as
sembly than the old fashioned mass
conventions that were held to NOM
mate candidate fer minor offices; it
was not as sedate and decorous as the
old time town meeting Of our ancest-
ors. The senate was not without

members OF ability and courage and
probity. Speaker Bond and Senators
Craig and Durham and McGuinness
and Fuller and Graham among others
really sought to render the state dis
interested and effective service but
the majority would seldom follow
them.
However much disappointed the
people may be over the legisla
tive session just closed and
however bitter their denunciation
may be because Of its sins
of omission and commission they
must remember that after all In this
country they are the source of all
power ana authority and they get in
heir legislature and their executives
Just about what they deserve. In
other words the legislature is pretty
fairly representative of the citizen
ship that elected the members. The
electorate, In condehming the course
of the legislature, indicts itself.
Whenever the people or a majority
Of them, sincerely desire Legislature
of able, intelligent, patriotic and un-
selfish men at Nashville the way is
open. The state is not lacking in
material, but it is seldom that the
voters seek the best men for seats
in the senate and house, The folks
are pretty indignant over the record
made by their legislature but by the
time the next election rolls around
all will be forgotten and mother bunch,
probably less trustworthy, will be
commissioned to make laws for this
great and sovereign state.
