WELL-EARNED
RECOGNITION.
AlGOOD PROUD OF WILL SWAL.
LOWS APPOINTMENT

The appointment of Will L. Swal
lows of Algood as pure food and drug
inspector for the State of Tennessee
gave the town of Algood a great deal
of pleasure. for there is no more
popular nor beloved young man in
the town and its vicinity.
Especially pleasing is this ap.
pointment since Will Swallows is a
self-made man. The older citizens
of Algood remember very we'll when
Mr.. Swallows came to the little town
a barefoot boy with red7gold hair
and merry, smiling face, starting
out in the quest of knowledge.
He made his home with Mr. and
Mrs. Allen Gaskill and swept and
cleaned Mr.. Gaskill's drug store to
pay for his board. His tuition was
given him by Mrs. Matte Bennett
Northern, one of the States best
educators, who was then teaching in
Algood.
With this encouragement, this
sunny-natured little fellow began a
career that has BEEN remarkable in
its success Through all trials he
has been undiscouraged and through
all obstacles unafraid. Through the
varied steps in climbing the ladder
of success, from sweeping the drug
store to selling drugs at the soda
fount, he continued until he became
safe and efficient prescriptions
Yer Mr.. Gaskill left Algood
Mr.. Swallows had charge of the drug
store for Drs. Moore and Howard.
OF recent years he has held a
splendid position with one of the
best known drug concerns of the
state, proving himself a successful
and poular salesman. This new po-
sition he will fill creditably and con-
scientiously, as he has filed all po-
sitions since childhood Nashville
Tennessean. Especial from Algood.)

COUNTY COURT
Transacted Comfortable Business
At Quarterly Session.

The Quarerly court of Putnam
county met in regular session, Mon
day, January 3rd, and transacted
business in its usual prompt manner
Dolph Sullens of the twelfth dist
rict was elected to succeed himself
as pike commissioner for the west
ern division for the ensuing three
years.
j. P. Romine of Monterey, w. G.
Anderson of Baxter, and Dan Bart
lett of the tenth district were elect
ed as members of the County Board
of Education.
Constables John M. Lee. ]. N. Hy
der and c. P. Hunter we're elected as
court officers for the next terms OF
Criminal and Circuit courts.
The court failed to make the usual
appropriation to pay half the salary
of the County Agricultural Agent
and Farm Demonstrhtor, thereby
taking backward step which, ii
not rescinded in a short time will
mean the Inevitable loss of thous.
ands of dollars a year to Putnam
county farmers The Herald has
not been able to learn just why this
action was taken by the court, 4and
for that reason will not go into the
matter thoroughly until this infor-
nation can be had first-ha1d, but it
certainly is most regretable action,
and one that was not expected by
the progressive farmers of the
county, the majority of whom know
by actual experience that a county
farm agent is invaluable to the coun-
ty and his worth canno be counted
by dollars and cents.

city.
The new Mayor was elected on an
ultra-progressive platform, and we
trust and believe he will do his ut
most to. convert all campaign prom

advocated by candidate Barnes werei
