BRIGHT
FOR BIG ACREAGE
Five or Six Hundred Acres Of Sweet
POtat0es viii he Planted.

The agitation for a large ACREAGE Of
sweet potatoes this year on the farms
south of town between the Dyersburg
aud Troy roads is having results. and
the prospects seem very bright for an
acreage which will mean huge shin
ments of these succulent vegetables
during the season.
According 10 those having charge of
the promotion. an acreage of at least
five or six hundred acres is already
assured and il is possible that a still
larger acreage will be- forthcoming
The farmers in the section where the
planting Of sweet potatoes has been
urged most have. the large ma joritv of
them. taken 10 the suggestion very
readily. which could hardly be wonder
Ell at when the enormous profits which
accrue from their planting and the
comparison Of these profits which the
loss which most Of them have sustained
during the past two years on corn and
like crops are taken into consideration.
The building of the large potato house
for the storing and curing Of the crops
of those who do not build their own is
assured. and there seems To be nothing
/ further i'm the way Of large produc-
tion of sweet poatoeS in the territory
around Hickman.
We are glad To see il for this step i
certain 10 mean more money in this
section Of the country for the farmers
| and with the start which has been made
this year there j. no limit which can bt
placed on the amount Of potatoes which
will he raised by the farmers around
/ Hickman i'm future years.
Although quite late start held hacl
the securing Of large acreage for straw
berries a goodly acreage Of these ha
lhecn secured. and with this industr.
i'm more Of au experimental stage nov
La much large acreage can be secures
lueNt year.

TO Vote in Bond. Election.

Saturday, March % is a special reg
istration day in Hickman. ON that day
every voter in the city must register
if he would east his vote in the school
bond election on the following Satur-
day.
Some confusion seems to be in the
minds of the voters as TO who must
register on that day, but this confusion
may be allayed when il il known that
every voter must register regardless OF
when he has ever registered before.
The law requiring registrn ton makes
il necessary for voter 90 register
every year before voting. and as no
registration has been held this year il
is necessary for this registration to be
held for this special bond election.
The registration polls will be at the
court house for those residing in the
West Hickman precinct. and at some
buiIding on Clinton street east of Cum
lherland street where the water does
not interfere for the voters of East
Hickman precinct. 1t is probable that
tbe Montgomery building next 10 the
Farmers x Merchants Bank will be
used.
| The registration will begin at Z
Io'cIOck i'm the cmorning and Will con
Time until - O'Clock at night.
Remember that every voter must
register to east ballot in the school
lbond election and bee on hand early.

SENATOR DNIS BACK.

Senator Il. T. Davis. of Fulton Coun-
ty and the First Senatorial district,
returned home Saturday from the ses-
sion of the general assembly which he
has been attending since the first of
the year. Senator Davis made
splendid record in the senate, one Of
which his constituency in this sena-
torial district and democrats as
whole throughout the state may well
he proud. Taking "A firm stand ON all
party questions. he more firmly en-
trenched himself in the position of one
of Kentucky'S staunchest and most
reliable Democrats. We would that
the alleged Democratic senator from
Marshall County, Senator Dycus. might
look on Senator Davis record and
thereby gain a most beneficial example.
