PUT TENNESSEE BACK IN FOLD
BY ELECTING PEAY

This is a Democratic year and
Tennessee, as a Democratic state,
should return to the fold Of that
party.
The taxpayers have obtained no
relief as a result of the election of
Gov. Taylor, and in view Of the fact
that the next legislature win be
overwhelmingly Democratic there is
no reason to expect such relief in
case Of his reelection. If that event
should occur it means two more years
Of reckless extravaganza in the de-
partments of the state government.
In Mr.. Peay, the Democratic nomi-
nee, the people of the state have
man Of ability and integrity, and one
who is in every way better qualified
to make Tennessee a good business
governor than its present chief ex-
ecutive. He won his nomination in
a primary largely participated in by
the Democratic men and women of
the state, and he should, and we be-
lieve that he will, be elected gov
ernor by the usual Democratic ma
jority, and that his election will mark
the beginning Of a much-needed
period of fiscal reform in this state.
He speaks here Wednesday, and we
trust that every taxpayer and citizen
Of the county will hear him.

STORY OF TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE

Twenty FIVE years ago, this
week, a colored man living near
Keeling in Haywood county, came
in our store and bought cooking
stove. Two years ago he was
back in our store and bought
another cooking stove for a son,
who had just married, saying at
the time he was was still using
the one he had bought for him
self.
Tuesday of this week a daugh-
ter was in and bought a cook
stove. remarking they were just
now discarding the stove her
father bought of US twenty-five
years ago.
A year or so back, Mr.. Ben
Malone, living a few miles west
of Covington, brought US in a
butcher knife and gave US that
we sold him nineteen years be-
fore which had been in constant
use all these years.

trading with us today who began

Mr.. Henry Bradley, a progressive
farmer of District No. IL, bought
a young gilt on May l, 1921, paying
$14 for it. From this animal he has
sold $40 worth of shoats, has seven
head on hand that will average 1875
pounds each and litter of eight
pigs. He gave two pigs to friends
and still has the SOW. This is only
one case, but there are many such
in the county. Maybe it would pay
to feed few more hogs and not
quite so many weevils. Corn, peas,
soy beans and pastures, both winter
and summer, will do the work.
