HOW COME THE NAME DIXIE
AS APPLIED TO THE SOUTHLAND
Neutrality-suspicious. a d;s

~ 0AD
cussion is on among a group of South
ern editors in answer to the question.
"How does it happen that the South il
called Dixie Land?"
One theory attributes the name to
a Mr.. Dizzy, a very clever fellow who
dealt in slaves in New York. Mr.. Dixy
knew how to get a slave ready for sale.
He fed him heavily and forbid any
work. Very soon Mr.. Dixy's wares
were ready to put on the market, sleek
and corpulent. This happy interlude
impressed the slaves profoundly, and
they talked Of it g~lowingly on the
plantations of the South. so that Mr.
Dixy's name o became a synonym
for good living and on hard work
which accorded with the sort Of para
disc the South was romanticaly be-
lieved to be.
Another story runs that probably
Dixie sprang from the name "Dixon.n
since Mr.. Dixon elaborated with Mr.
Mason in marking off the favored
land. Other explanations doubtless
have been developed, none of them
undisputed. The Journal would be glad
to help clear up this confusion or at
least give currency to other engaging
theories on the subject, If any are
available"

her cell accompanied by Lieut.. Law

fare for the state. Trial Judge R. H.
Parker of Wilson county, and Don Gil
liam, prosecutor both recommended
that the death sentence be changed to
n of life imprisonment. Their plea
was made on the grounds that only

to die in the electric chair in the state.
A change of sentence saved that wom-
an from sitting in the death chair. in.

This town has tolerated a lot of
funny doings" from a certain "grass
widower." He is rarely seen in the
company of men of his own race and
rarely goes any place-out north. If
you were to pay much attention to
this different" shiek you would see
that he has so many big fine car
parked around his beautiful apart
ment that it looks like a funeral home,
and if you could see the occupants
unloading themselves you would think
you we're lost on the campus of Yale

She knows something is wrong and
she is going to keep her eyes open

A certain family group heretofore
so proud and perfect and all that has
certainly had a blow to the family
pride through its darling son." If
you hadn't spoiled said son maybe he
wouldn't think a likeable little guy
which are the first reuisites for a
good husband. He also seemingly has
some other mate good qualities but
he is evidently so spoiled that he
picked a still more spoiled wife and
now their marital ship is on the
rocks. Let this be a lesson to you
proud mamas and papas. 1t maybe
true that this young mans spouse is
reported to be a regular shrew but it
was not his job to give her a sock on
the jaw because you know there is a
law against hitting other peoples
children. So young mar go back and
get your wife and patch up your old
uarrel, if not for your sake or for her
sake do so for the sake of the child.
And if you do try it again forget to
be a spoiled boy and girl and be a
grown up young sensible married
couple.
Nothing makes Miss Eyes sicker
than to see clandestine love affairs
Miss Eyes has in mind a certain
young attorney around here who is
breaking a gang of the ten command
