Mr.. G.. Fl. Rhodes, Of White
vile, is a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for State SEN
ator from the 26th Senatorial Dis
trict, composed of the counties of
Hardeman, Hardin, McNairy, De-
catur and Benton. Mr. Rhodes
is q native of this county and
needs no introduction to our peo-
pie, but for the benefit and in
formation of our friends in other
counties of the district, The Bull
letin will state that he is one of
the most prominent citizens in his
community and is one Of the most
loyal Democrats in the county;
and in addition is thoroughly quail
flied, as well as being in sympathy
and accord with the determine
ton among true Democrats every
where in Tennessee to reduce ex-
penses and abolish useless offices.
Mr.. Rhodes served as private sec
rotary to the late Gen. Geo. w.
Gordon also to Hon. K. d. Nc
Kellar while that gentleman was
a member of the lower house of
Congress-, and under the Wilson
administration he was appointed
postmaster at Whiteville. It has
been a number Of years since
Hardeman furnished the Senator
from this district, and if our
friends will concede us the honor
this time they will find that if
Mr.. Rhodes is elected, he will re-
feet credit upon the entire dis
trict. Bolivar Bulletin. ADV

FROM KENTUCKY
Barbourville, Kentucky,

June D. .lJZl
Editor Independent:
1t has been quite awhile since
| last writing from the Dark and
Bloody Ground" My subscrip-
ton to the dear old home paper is
almost up, and you will find en-
closed my subscription for an
other year, for I don't want to
miss a single copy. The indie
pendent is a welcome guest to
Darbourville every week. Before
| go further, it is proper for me
to say am writing this letter to-
day on the account of tbeing my
birthday of arrival in Kentucky.
1t was this morning one year ago
near sunrise ! heard the conduc-
tor call Guthrie, which is just
across the line in Kentucky, and
that was my first time to look up
on the blue Grass" State, and
about 4::30 in the afternoon I
reached Barbourville. ! never
dreamed that it would be one
complete revolution of twelve
months before | would see Nc
Marry again.
That was an interesting letter
| of last week from Mr.. Perkins
about the radio instruments. Bar
-bourville has installed a receiv-
ing station, but / have not had
the opportunity to listen over it
yet. I always read the Kramer, :
SHADY Grove" and Personals"
columns first when thepapercomes
In the last few issues the good
ROADS spirit mas not Deen SO nlgh,
but suppose that the talk has
stopped and the work begun. The
County Agent, Mr. Nickel, gave
us some snappy, interesting items
of what is being done in McNairy
through his efforts. Come on
McNairians! you can put your
selves to the front if you only
will follow your captain.

LEVEE WORK

We merely suggest the build
ing of an approach to the levee
at the north crossing, rather than
the construction of the levee. It
seems that the wooden approach
will he much more satisfactory
and can be done with no more
expense. Just suggestion, how
ever.

GRAVELHlLL


We have read OF cloudbulsts
and waterspouts, but could not
realize just what they meant. but
on the night Of June 6 we Wit
messed to our sorrow one Of the
most destructive downpours ever
seen in this section. For more
than two hours the rain fell in
torrents northeast Of Graye,hill
on the two prongs Of the head of
Muddy creek, and we are not able
to describe nor estimate the dam
age done to fences, bridges, the
crops and land by washing; some
farms being almost swept away
land was overhowed that was
never touched before. Ii is esti
mated by those who are in a po-l
sition to know, that the water
was one and one-half feet higher
than ever known before, and to
realize the truth of this state
ment, you will only have to visit
the farm Of j. B. Higgins and
be convinced beyond q doubt that
what we say is true. We have
never been inclined to look on the |
dark side of things any more than
possible, but we franklwa admit |
that we never saw things look |
more discouraging to the farm
ers for fair crop this year, yet |
we have not given up hope, It'll
is true that MANY haven't any |
corn planted yet. but should the !
rains cease soon, a fair crop of |
corn can be made on the rich !
land of our valleys at a small !
cost. The cotton crop, though |
some fields are getting grassy, |
looks promising, and with little
dry weather, will be put in good |
shape.
Gardens were never finer, with |
vegetables in abundance. The
orchards are laden down with as |
sweet and juicy fruit as grew in
the Garden of Eden. Then why |
not feel thankful and believe that |
behind the clouds the sun is still
shining?
Rev. Hardwick filled his regu-
lar appointment here Saturday
and Sunday.
Singing at the church Saturday |
night, conducted by John R.
Swain, was we'll attended and
enjoyed by all.
Paul Turner of Chewalla, can
didate for Trustee, was here last
Sunday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins is on
the sick list, but is improving.
The little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. L. Higgins was buried
here Monday afternoon, Rev. |
Hayes of Kramer conducting the
funeral services in an impressive
manner. We extend to the be-
reaved parents our sincere SYM
pathy in these sad hours.
Terry Alternately was here last
Monday on business and to visit
Uncle Ben Darby, who delights
in having his friends call on him. |
A. B. Hamm of Ramer attend
ed the funeral here Monday, and
met many old friends and kins-
men.
We are patiently awaiting the |
road machinery to go over the
road from the State line to Sell
