SPECIAL SERVICE AT
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

A special service is being planned
for Sunday morning at II o'clock at
the First Presbyterian church. In
stead of the sermon at the regular
church service, it is planned to HAYS
reports from the five delegates who
attended the 0voca conference at
0voca, Tenn, in June. There will be
five six-minute talks by the repre-
sentatives who went from the First
Presbyterian church.
This conference has been attract
ing attention Of the entire state. 1t
was held last year at Bon Aqua
Springs, and the church sent two rep
resentatives. This year there was a
special train that was run from Mem
phis to carry the delegates from the
churches in Memphis and the sur
rounding territory, and a large mum
Der attended. 1t is to be an annual
affair.
The reports of the representatives
from Coyington VIII be Of especial
interest, since they are boys and girls
well known to the people Of the city,
and since one Of the boys who went
in the delegation volunteered for life
work in Christian service.

RAIN HALTs TRADE DAY

Trade Day, scheduled for last
Monday passed oWay very quietly
The heavy rain Monday morning and
threatening clouds throughout the
entire day prevented the people from
venturing away from their homes to
town; otherwise large crowd would
have been on hand, as the event was
largely advertised all over the
county.
There was every indication Of re-
newed interest in the Trade Day plan
of drawing the people together on
such an occasion, and those most
active in it's promotion were disap-
pointed Monday that the weather
was not favorable. Local merchants
had prepared bargain lists on their
various commodities; buyers were
ready to purchase farm products at
the highest market prices and there
would have been many opportunities
for trading, trafficking, etc
However, the rain was seasonable
for the crops, especially corn and it
was decidedly a greater necessity at
that particular time than Trade

COUNTY COURT FAILS ON QUORUM; ADJOURNS

The Upton county court adjourned
Monday to meet again Monday, July
II, on account of the absence of a
quorum. Only 20 members of the
court answered the roll call, "a magis-
trates constituting a quorum.
By reason Of the fact that the cir
cult court will be in session all this
week and the major part Of next
week, Judge Peete designated the
third Monday in the current month as
the day on which the court will meet
a~ain.
The matter of fixing the tax late
for the current year will be one of the
most important considerations to
come before the July court. The APP
preparation docket, another matter of
general interest to the taxpayers, will
also come up for consideration. There
will be a number of recommendations
for the appropriation of funds to con-
struct levees at various points on the
county highways. One leyee in par
ticular that will require a considerable
sum for improvement is between Cow
ington and Mason near the farm of
Mr.. d. D. Baxter. This place has
been impossible at different times
during the year and, according to
contractors, it can not be put in proper
condition without the expenditure Of
several hundred dollars.
The heavy rain Monday morning
prevented a majority Of the magIs-
trates from reaching the county seat.
However, more Of them were present

than was expected on account Of The
weather.
County Court Clerk Charles P.
Simonton entertained the members
of the court Monday at noon with a
Brunswick stew luncheon in the
chancery courtroom. The ladies of
the Presbyterian church served the
luncheon in two courses.
Mr.. Silnonton, at the conclusion of
his present term of office, Septem-
Der l, 1922, will have served for is
years as county court clerk, being
nominated and elected at the begin
ming Of each term without opposition
in either the primary or general
election. Upon the death Of the late
George w. Pennel Mr.. Simonton was
elected to fill the unexpired term,
in office until the present
time. He declined to become a can
didate for reelection for a fourth
term, and Mr. John H. Upton, the
present deputy county court clerk,
was nominated in the Democratic
primary last August to succeed him.
Mr.. Simonton's popularity in this
county is attested by the fact that
he was never opposed for election.
He is probably the only official that
ever held office in this county for
four consecutive terms who was
and elected each time
without an opponent in the race. In
September he will retire from office
with a splendid record of service that
will long be remembered for its eff
fieiency and courtesy.

APPEAL FOR HELP

The days work was almost done
when a poorly clad but neat young
man came into the Upton County
Farmers Union Bank yesterday and
timidly asked for loan Of $50. He
had come from beyond Munford to
get it. It was known that through
financial reverses he could not meet
the note and it could not be granted.
But one of the officials, realizing his
difficulty, kindly suggested that he
see the Red Cross.
Then the broken, hating story was
told of four-year-old miss and her
pet Collie pup. 1t had bitten her
terribly and later gone mad. The
little girl would be in a critical con-
dition shortly If Pasteur treatment
were not gotten. Three places were
called in Memphis, but nowhere could
treatment be secured without cost. At
last one of the good physicians of the
community was asked and readily
consented to give his services if the
medicine were bought.
But the Red Cross has no funds for
such emergencies. They agreed to
buy the medicine, anyway, for life
was at stake. VIII you help them
stand behind the debt? Thirty-five
dollars will cover the cost. Won't
you see Miss Hakwins, the Red Cross
secretary, and contribute something
toward saving the life Of four.
year-old miss, who trusted her little
Collie puppy?

RAILROAD sHoPMEN STRIKE

-Four hundred thousand railroad
shop employees were called out on a
strike at 10 a, m. Saturday by Bert
vi. Jewell, president Of tfsa railway
department Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor
The causes Of the strike were;
Slash from two to nine cents an hour
in pay the Railroad Labor Board,
elimination of time and half for
overtime; and invasion by carriers of
jurisdiction of railroad board by
farming out shop work to outside
contractors.
According to figures gathered by
the United Press, 100000 men are
out in the larger railroad centers, 1t
is estimated that an additional 50,-
600 struck in smaller shops.
The government, through Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the Railroad
Labor Board, promises protection to
oil workers who stay on the job or to
new men who take the places of
strikers.
The start of the strike was not
marked with trouble of any kind
Railroad executives say that trains
will run as usual and that the strike
will make no difference to the general
public.
Jewell issued a statement saying
that the strikers would not 60 back
to work until the carriers accepted
his terms.
Railroad property, especially
bridges and trestles on the Illinois
Central lines are being guarded
against possible violence as a result
of the shopmens' strike and other
threatening strikers. The bridge and
connecting trestles at Rialto across
Hatchie river is being guarded night
and day by the following: Messrs. A,
G, Barron, Don Peeler, s. ]. Roberts,
Wilson Roberts, Will Evans and VIM.

duty Immediately after the walkout

FAMILY REUNION

A very enjoyable occasion was the
annual family reunion, which was held
last Thursday, June 20, at the home
Of Mr. H. o.. Banks, of Brighton.
There were SO present and all seemed
to enjoy themselves, especially at the
noon hour, when a table, placed on the
lawn, was laden with fried chicken,
boiled ham, pickles, salads and the
usual sweets that go to make up a
picnic dinner.
The day was made more pleasant by
the presence of d cousin Of the hosts,
Mrs. ]. B. Mack, of Fort Mills, S. c.,
who is making her first visit to rela-
tives in the Salem and Brh@hton COM
also and aunt and COUSIN
Of the hostess from Buena Vista, Miss,
and Delight, Ark, respectively. These
ladies' have each passed the three
score years and ten mark, but all en-
Joy reasonably good health.

CHILBS WELFARE
SPECIAL COMING
TO REMAIN IN COUNTY ABOUT
ONE MONTH
Every Child Under Seven Years Of
Age viii Be Examined By Gov
eminent Physician and Receive
Care of Nurse Free of Charge
Red Cross Officials Instrumental
in Securing This Aid.

Announcement has been made from
the local Red Cross office of the com
ing Of the Child Welfare Special, a
health car, which will arrive Mon.
day, July IN, to be in our county one
month.
This is an especially equipped truck,
carrying a physician who is spec
ialist for children, a trained nurse, a
stenographer and a chauffeur. The
truck will travel throughout the coun-
tn, stopping in the different communi-
ties day. All children whom the
parents will bring, under seven, will
be examined without cost by the gov
eminent.
Upton county is peculiarly FORUM
ate in securing this truck as it is the
only one of its kind sent out by the
government. Six counties in Tonnes
see were selected in which to work
by the State Board of Health, which
Is sponsoring the work for the gov
eminent, and Upton county was
among those chosen. This was done
because the Medical Association of
the county endorsed the movement
and asked that the car be sent and be-
cause of the activity of the Red
Cross, which has been asked to att
tend TO all arrangements. The COM
ing of the truck has also been en-
dorsed by the Upton County Bank
ers Association, the Business Mems
Club, the American Legion and other
civic organizations.
The parents Of the county who fail
to have their children under seven ex-
anined by the specialist whom the
government is sending to our very
doors will miss real opportunity
for expert advice and will be guilty
Of negligence to their young. It is
not often that mother has chance
for expert service, together with
place where she can quietly talk with
specialist concerning the little
problems that bother her regarding
her young.
The child is taken into the truck,
which il especially equipped with
scales, measuring rod and all neces-
sary apparatus for the examination.
There, with his mother, the physician
and the nurse, he is carefully gone
over, and advice regarding his well
being given. No treatment or medi-
cine is given, as that comes within the
province Of the family physician.
The dates the truck will appear in
the different communities have not
vet been planned, but they will appear
In the next issue of the paper. If
you are interested in the welfare Of
your children it will be greatly to-
your advantage to watch for the date
1t viii be nearest you and take all
your children under seven for the free
examination.
