W. A. or Berry" Holmes as he is
familiarly known, is a candidate for
the office Of Clerk of the County

Mr.. Holmes is a native Henderson

ed from Lexington Academy, in 1891,
under the late Professor s. A. Myn-
ders.
After graduation he remained in
the country and followed farming un-
til about ten years ago when he re-
moved to Lexington to give his chill
dren better school advantages. Here
he has farmed some, worked at house
building a part of the time, ran a
dairy and finally took up the Ninsur-
ance business, which is his present oc-
cupation.
He has long been our neighbor and
no man ever had better one. He is
well qualified and if nominated and
elected, he can and will fill the office
to which he aspires to the satisfac-
tion of the people. He is a thorough
bread Republican-and will cheerful

TAYLOR DECLINES TO
ANSWER LON SCOTT

Washington, D. c., May 23.-While
Representative j. Will Taylor, who,
has been an ardent supporter of Judge
j. W. Ross for federal Judge, deeply
resents the biting criticism aimed at
him by Representative Lon A. Scott,
embraced in formal statement is
sued Saturday night, he refuses to
make a reply. y
"You may say for me-" declared
Mr.. Taylor, 'that ! decline to engage
in any controversy whatever with Mr..
Scott about the action of the admin
istration in making an excellent
choice for Judge. Just state that
have nothing further to say at the
present in the matter"
Scott, embittered and resentful to-
ward those who have succeeded in
having Ross recommended for federal
Judge, strikes at his factional ene-
mics in caustic terms, charging that
Bob Church, the negro politician, in
conjunction with Taylor and other
East Tennessee Republicans, brought
about the recommendation by Attor-
ney General Daugherty. Scott's
statement is regarded here as WIDEN
ing the breach over patronage among
Tennessee Republicans, which will in
crease the difficulties in distributing
federal jobs.

WILDERSvILLE TO
ARISE FROM ITS ASHES.

A citizen of Wildersville vicinity,
who was here one day last week, m
formed us that the good town of Wild
ersville, Phoenix like, will arise from
its own ashes and be in future per-
haps a better town than ever before.
The friends of merchants j. ]. Viii
liams and Charlie Flake, and Drug
gist and physician DR.. W. /. How
ell, who carried no insurance at All,
deeply sympathize with them in their
heavy and serious loss-as they do
with the Wildersville Supply Com
pany, which recently failed to renew
about half the insurance carried.
The Corporation Board of Wilders-
vile held a meeting last week and it
is said announced that within the fire
limits of the town no building except
brick, with fire proof walls will be al
lowed constructed.
Johnson Brothers, j. P. Parker, M.
c. Rosser and w. R. Wilson and Dr..
C. E Bolen will rebuild and it may be
that Mr.. Williams will do so.
There has been no start on rebuild
ing the N. C. depot and this Wildes-
vile man said it may be months be-
fore the comptny erected a new de-
pot. As it is an old passenger coach
is being used for a passenger waiting
room and an old box car for freight
house.
Wildersville was one of the most
hustling of towns of its size and il is
to be hoped that accommodation for
its extensive business may soon be
provided.

TEACHERS ELECTED.

We failed to mention in our last Is

concerned and with the addition of
one more teacher in conjunction with
the University of Tennessee, there is
no reason why we should not have an
even better school next year.

SCOTS HILL VS.. SARDlS.

There was a very interesting ball
game played at Scott's Hill Saturday
May 21st. Sardis boys came over and
crossed bats with Scott's Hill, score
being 5 to 0 in favor of Scott's Hill.
The results have been the same With
every game Scott's Hill has played
this year. First game was Scdtt's
Hill VS.. Sardis, score 5 to in favor
of Scott's Hill, with Ray White pitch
er and Lon Montgomery, catcher.
The second game was Scott's Hill VS..
Perryville, score s to 5 in favor of
Scott's Hill, with the same battery.
Third game, Scott's Hill vs.. Saltillo,
score to 5 in favor Of SCOTS Hill.
Fourth and last game played up to
date, Scots Hill VS.. Sardis, score 5
to o, in favor of SCOTS Hill, with F.
NJ. Austin, pitcher, and Lon Mont
gomery, catcher.
There are many good things that
could be said about the boys playing,
but cannot make personal mention Of
each one, so we viii Just say that
they all played good ball. The pros
poets are that we viii have the best
bali team here this year that we have
ever had and one reason is that the
business men are backing the boys
up in the matter. Come on boys and
let's not loose q game this year. 'ss

Tragedies, times and accidents, fol
low thick and fast, one after another
| in Lexington, Henderson county.
At about one o'clock yesterday
Thursday morning Arthur A. Han
ma shot and killed his devoted wife,
the third shot from his revolver PEN
etrating the heart and causing in
slant death.
The story of the sorrowful tragedy
as it came from Mr.. Hanna's lips is
related to US by Mr.. ]. w. Wright,
a lifelong friend of the family.
Shortly before the time stated, Mrs.
Hanna had gotten up and put back to
bed her adopted baby who had fallen
from her own bed. Soon after this
Mr.. Hanna, thinking his wife had
come back to bed after putting the ba-
by between them, heard something on
the front porch and, after pulling the
window shade and seeing something
on the porch, said to his wife whom
he thought to be in the room, "There
is some one on the porch and / am
going to shoot through the screen and
scare them off"-and with that he
fired the first shot which missed the
final victim. Mrs. Hanna who was
sitting on the front steps of the porch,
where she was supposed to have gone
to get cool, then arose and came to
the screen hall loor and as she open
ed it., Mr.. Hanna fired the second
shot, which again missed. When Mrs.
Hanna entered the hall her husband
fired the third shot-and to kill, as
he stated. AS he fired the second shot
through the hall door, Mr.. Hanna
says he asked her to stop, but she
never spoke-he, all the time believ-
ing her to be in her bed and the per-
son entering the home a burgler.
After firing the third shot, Mr..
hanna picked up his wife and carried
her to the front porch. S. A. McNatt
heard Hanna screaming and in per-
haps two or three minutes reached
the scene to find Mrs. Hanna dead.
Arthur Hanna came here from Sar-
dis two years ago to work for the
now defunct Central Lumber Co. He
is son of DR.. Alez Hanna and the
family is one of the best in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Hanna was a daughter of the
ate L. C. Brandon and sister of
DR.. G. A. Brandon, of Lexington, al
50 excellent people and came here
from Sardis
They had no living children and
mad adopted a girl baby, now perhaps
four years old, from the orphanage at |
Nashville, conducted by Mrs. Claude
P. Sullivan.
The body was embolmed and kept
,ver for burial at Sardis to-day, Mrs. |
Brandon. mother of the deceased, be- |
ng on a visit to another daughter, at |
Dyersburg and could not reach Lex
ngton until yesterday.
The home life Of Mr.. and Mrs. Han
Ia is said to have been ideal, hence |
he terrible accident which cost the |
ife Of one of the best women and has
,aused the greatest possible sorrow
o her husband, must have been an
without possibility of any |
,ther construction of the sad hap
,ening.
The funeral will be conducted by |

JUST THE WAY WE PUT 1T.

Every newspaper wants to publish
the news. The better the paper the
more prosperous it will be. Local
items especially are hard TO run down.
How many times have you, dear read
er, been approached by the newspaper
man for an item of news and told him
that you know nothing of interest.
Probably at the time your family was
away on a visit or some one from out
of town was visiting you. OF course,
you didn't mean to deceive the scribe,
yet when you received your paper you
wondered why your family or friends
were not mentioned. A good way TO
avoid all of this is kindly infom Us of
the facts or drop a note in the post
office to this paper. The one item
may not amount to much, but several
columns of such news is the life Of q
local paper. See.

that you present your bodies living

which is your reasonable service. And

your mind"
Our longtime friend, who had been
most wisely selected as the speaker Of
the occasion, handled his subject. in
that plain straightforward, yet elo-
quent and mastery manner, for
which he is well known. He appealed
to the class before him, many IL not

High School into the affairs of life,
was purely practical, showing them
how essential it is to cultivate the
three parts Of which men and women
are composed-the physical, the in

them that they would meet with dis
appointment; that the battle Of life is
one that must be won by fighting
that the boy can only fly his kite only
against an adverse wind. Elder Har.
deman, while yet comparatively
young, has for a number Of years
been recognized as one Of the fore
most educators and ablest speakers
Of West Tennessee. We are such an
enthusiastic admirer Of Friend Bro
