BIBLE PRINTED IN 1850 ON -
EXHIBIT IN WASHINGTON

The earliest and most precious
piece of printing from movable
types in the world has just been
placed on exhibition in the division
of graphic arts of the National
Museum in Washington. 1t will be
found in the Smithsonian building,
where it is to remain several weeks
It was loaned by Gabriel Wells, of
New York City.
This piece Of work, the Gutenberg
Bible, was among the very first
works done by johannes Gutenberg,
to whom, by general contest, is
given the credit for the invention of
: the art Of printing from movable
types. tits estimated that this Bible
was printed between 1850 and 1855,
in the town Of Mainz, or Mayence,
Germany.
The National Museum has "The
Book of joshua" extracted from one
of these famous Bibles, containing
26 pages, beautifully illuminated.
The text of each page is set in two
columns, Of 4& lines. each, hence the
name sometimes given it Of "Forty-
two Line Bible" 1t has also been
known as the Mazarine Bible, for
the reason that, while it was believed
to exist, no copy was known until it
was discovered in the library of the
great French cardinal.

PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENTS

The response of the opportunity
given by the government for ex-
animation Of children under seven
and the fight now being waged
against mosquitoes in Covington are
evidences of the awakened interest
Of Upton county people to matters
of health.
A few years ago neither movement
could have been started without pro-
test from old-timers against. "edu-
cational tomyrot,' as i would have
been phased. Today these are the
ones most eager to rid the county Of
malaria and to bring to our nation
citizens stronger physically, mental
~ and morally than ever before.
We have capse to be grateful to
the government and the state for the
splendid work it is doing along health
lines. Through them we are now
reaping the benefits of the malaria
campaign and the free examinations
for children. Locally we have our
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen and
Red Cross workers to thank for the
two splendid enterprises. Person
ally we will have only ourselves to
kick if through lack Of cooperation
we do not see that every child is
examined and every mosquito ex-
terminated in Upton county.

RACE FOR GOVERNOR DESERVES
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION


The Democrats this year have a
big job before them to elect gov
ernor over the Republican. candidate,
and it behooves us to be careful in
the selection of our choice at the pri-
mary. We have carefully considered
the platforms put out by various
candidates ana the impressions made
by the candidates generally and our
conclusion is that Mr.. L. E. Gwinn is
the best bet to win over Gov. Taylor.
It took West Tennessee candidate
to win over Mr.. Hooper, and NV.
Gwinn is the only candidate in this
race from West Tennessee. He is
young man, 38 years old, self-made
man, a brilliant speaker and profound
student Of government, and yet with
good sound judgment in separating
the practical from the mere theoret-
ical. He is the only candidate who
has put forward any real construct
i've measures for the relief of the
people, and especially as to taxation
If the tax measures originated and
suggested by him in his platform
and speeches can be put through, and
we believe he will put them through,
there will come the greatest relief to
the tax-burdened people Of this state
that has come in many years.
Mr.. Gwinn has made a wonderful.
impression in his campaign through
out the state and is rapidly gaining
strength every day.

PUTTING 1T UP TO TlNsMITH
Mr.. Fijjit Wants TO Know Why Stove
pipe Is Always Abducted to
Such Small Dimensions.

One of the uneolved mysteries of
everyday life Is why stoveplpe man
will always make stoveplpe too
small. Give him the old pipe as a
pattern and he will send a new piece
that can't be put on even with a shoe
horn remarks n New York Sun writer.
Fijjlt had a bandage around his
finger when he got TO the Office the
other morning and explained that Ne
had yainly tried TO adjust a piece Of
stovepipe that was too small.
'If 1t had been an inch too large
IL would have been all right" he said,
"for it rested on the stove and could
not come off, But that tinsmith be-
lleved in snug fit, and he made the
pipe so small that | had to send It
back after working with It for half
nm hour and cutting my finger"
Two other men In the office said
they had similar experiences the last
week and no one could offer an eX-
PLANTATION of the thusness Jof the
stovepipe.
