STATE RECORD OF
COUNTY COUNCIL
Henry County Organization
is Known Favorably for
Its Activities.
(By j. A. Patrick }

Judge j. l.. Clendenin returned
last Saturday from Nashville where
he attended state meeting OF
the county councils and the farm
bureaus. The judge had many
flattering reports to make.
The most inspiring information
that the Henry County farmer could
get from such a meeting was the
mere fact that the Henry County
Council of Agriculture Is known
throughout the entire state. Henry
County was second so far as mem
bership is concerned. The organize
ing and building of our Livestock
Shipping Association has also at
tracted state wide attention. The
methods used by the Livestock Ship
ping Association have been adopted
by many other counties in the state,
1t was the Red Glover Seed Com
mittee that really put the Henry
County Council in the limelight. The
sale of clover seed had failed in
two or three counties. The under
taking was watched with much anx-
iety on the part of the officials of
the division of extension, and ex-
perienced seed dealers said that it
could not be done. The prophecies
for failure were more numerous than
those for success. The practical
handling and moving of our clover
seed crop has made our organization
an unparalleled regulations in all
parts of the state.
Because of these outstanding
achievements and by virtue of the
fact that Judge Clendenin has at
all tines stood four-square for the
council and its work the judge
played a rather important part in
the conference of the county coun-
ellis at Nashville He served on the
on constitution and by
laws. He was elected vice president
of the state organization for West
Tennessee. which position obligates
him to serve on the executive COM
mittee OF the state organization. So
in this instance the judge brought
home to us our full share. We are
indeed very grateful to the judge
for rendering the county council such
a distinguished service.

Work On Southern
Section OF Highway
NosD Progressing

Crawling of the state highway
south, began at the Mckenzie line
last week. Contractors have moved
machinery, placed camps, and started
the work from Paris street, McKen-
zie, which will connect when com
pleted with Dunlap street Paris. MAX
ing a level graveled pike all the
way. and when the highway north
through Cottage Grove to Mayfield
is finished, will extend to the Ken
lucky line.
AS previously stated in this paper.
it is the intention of the highway
department to complete the high
way south this year, and bids for the
work north having been advertised
it will not be long until work on
that part of the road is begun.
Paris will be "some" town, with its
newly constructed streets, and gravel
ed pixies extending north and south,
the next move being a highway to
the river, or running east and west,
which will have the tendency to re-
duce local freight rates, thereby
working double advantage.

Locals Drop Three Games
In a Row to Kentucky
Redlegs Here.
Jinx Wrestled the Mascot
Out of a Victory at
Every Session.
Local Club Has Figured in
Victories From Fast
Opponents.

Hard luck was in constant attend
ance at all three baseball games
played with Mayfield this week.
The jinx popped up during the
first inning of Mondays game and
has hung doggedly to the locals
ever since, nosing them out of vic
tory at the last moment of Tues
days and Wednesdays game.
Mondays session was an easy vic
tory for the visitors, the day being
an off one for the Indians: from
the time the game was called it was
an easy victory for Mayfield, the
old time pep being absent from the
Eubanks clan, occasioning errors,
poor fielding and inability to hit the
opposing pitcher. The runs tailed
up II to l.
Tuesdays game went to the Reds
by the score of to a, a late rally
by the locals the eighth failing
to net sufficient runs for the vic
tory Good playing featured the
game throughout, but the locals
were unable to hit the apple when
hits were needed. In the eighth
Baker, for the visitors, blew up and
was knocked about the field at
will, but was taken from the mound
and replaced by Summers, the south
paw who pitched Mondays game,
just in time to save the game for
the visiting clan
Wednesdays game was well play
ed from every angle, and some
brilliant fielding on the part of the
locals was handed out to the spec
tators. In the eighth, Paris threat
ened to swamp the Red pitcher
again, who lost his "ambish" when
Thomas slammed one to deep left
labeled four bases. Mayfield again
rushed up her reserve twirlers who
held the score three to one.

DALE DECLINES
TO ENTER AGAIN
Present Incumbent Will Not
Make Race For Third
Term AS Clerk.

w. |. Dale, county court clerk,
who has most efficiently served two
terms in this office, will not be a
candidate for third term, although
many of his friends have insisted
that he enter the contest for res
election. In declining to make the
race, Mr.. Dale issues the following
card to the voters:
1T occurs to me that l should
make a statement at this time rela-
tive to my intentions as to entering
the race for the nomination for
county court clerk for third term
MANY of my friends have insisted
that | again enter the race for this
nomination, and no one could APP
preciate more than / the confidence
and respect thus shown in me. How
ever, since former pupil of mine
and a brave soldier of the world
war, who suffered permanent in
juries fighting for the freedom of
the world, has seen fit to aspire for
this position, | do not care at this
time to ask the good people of this
county to again bestow upon me this
office and thus honor me for third
term.
Il thank all my friends for their
past support and many assurances
of their continued help and good
will, and I feel that the affairs OF
the office will be left in such condi-
ton as to more completely show my
appreciation than anything which
might be written by me.
Respectfully,

big drawing card for the fair.
Secretary John Richardson is al
ready in receipt of many entries in
the speed ring. One man is bring
ing stable of twenty horses, an
other fifteen or eighteen, and there
are numerous single entries, or en-
tries of several. Realizing that no
event at a Tennessee or a Kentucky
fair, can supersede the speed ring,
the association is concentrating on
this as a chief attraction this year,

After Thoughts on the
Losing Streak.

If the fans would journey out to
the field every day and make a
noise akin to the fuss they kick
up along in the eighth and ninth
innings it would help the scrappers
in the rootin', anyway, SO why not
play it square and field the apple
q few times with your mouth?
Paris has a good aggregation Of
ball players-the best bunch that's
ever been gotten together here. IL
they weren't ball players they
couldn't have held Milan to two tie
games like they did last week.
They have been up against the best
the circuit has to offer, and they
have some mighty good victories to
their credit
Kuhn's work on short in Wednes-
days game is deserving of especial
mention; he was there with the old
time pepper and was on his toes
all through the game. Parks went
after the liners and got 'em at
times when it looked as though he
needed a step-ladder TO make the
reach. Wagner is all to the mustard
in the center garden and knows the
game word for word; his batting
eye has been trifle slant for the
past few days, but they can't strike
him out at that. Just between our
selves, Thomas home run in Wed
nesday's game was more of a sur
prise to him than to anyone else;
ha al lilo h. oh
ping wood but when he connected
with the ball the manager had to
insert a Lost ad for its recovery
Little Brownie is still his same old
self wherever he works, and the
apple never gets past his waiting
glove; his home steal Tuesday was
the best display of baseball ever
seen here. M. Brown is still swing
ing q mighty war club in addition
to covering left field in grand style.
After the change in lineup from
Mondays game, Jenkins is again
holding down the third sack in
manner that cannot evoke criticism.
Eubanks and Robinson are still talk
ing turns at the receiving, and no
excuses are needed for them; they
play the game every minute and are
there with the headwork in the
pinches. The pitching staff is back
in form, and the twirlers claiming
this as their home port are as good
as the best of 'em-Wilson, Stumb,
Brown and Beach.
Paris is returning the Mayfield
visit the last three days of this.
week, and with Old Sol smiling not
quite so indulgently as Tor the past
week or so there will likely be some
better reports coming over the wire.
The first of next week will bring
the scrappers back to the home lot
for a three-day session with an OPP
ponent yet to be determined Man
ager Eubanks has given assurance
that the jinx will be beaned with a
bat before the clubs return, so
Wen all go out and hollery a little
more than is customary and win a
few more games.

valuable silver cup into some acids
that quickly dissolved it. Repeated

correct the disaster. Finally Farady
himself came in and learning of the
accident poured some powder into
the acid when the silver was precipi-
tated to the bottom of the vessel.
The acid was poured off and the
silver recovered and sent to a silver
smith who soon sent back the cup
as it had once been. Many of
you have slipped into the world
and become so mixed up in it that
there seems to be no apparent help.
