The old-timer who used to get a
shave every Saturday night at the
barber shop is now having a hard
time getting to the chair ahead of
the girl who wants her hair trim-
med for Sunday.
Since nearly everybody now owns
automobiles, you seldom hear of any-
one walking in his sleep.
We hope it is not so dry in Clarks-
ville as it is here, because if the edi-
tor of the Clarksville Times should
dry up a little more he would blow
away.
Many business concerns are trying
to eliminate the stereotyped form of
business letter, and we hope that
they will all vote to cut out that well
known phrase, “Please remit.”
Anyway, whether the cotton crops
shows up good or not, there can be
no complaint of the shortage of the
chigger crop this year.
We are awfully strong for the con-
ventions, but the only kind of coat
we intend to wear during this month
is a coat of tan.
Jack Patton, cartoonist of the
Dallas News, says it is so dry in
some sections of the State that child-
ren cry all day without shedding a
tear.
A golf club has been organized in
Athens, and for the next few weeks
Editor Craig of the Review will not
be able to count any higher than
‘'To rc.”

The death of Lord Leverhulme, the
man who made n fortune and won ft
title by making a prodigious success
cf the soap business, has set afloat
in print a number of entertaining
stories about this very able and re-
sourceful merchant. One of the
most amusing we find in the Charles-
ton News and Courier.
Lord Leverhulme, it says, was the
first man to become a large dealer in
coconuts, the oil of which he needed
for his soaps. It was always hard
to get the jungle men of Africa to
collect all the coconuts the trade re-
quired. Since they lived in a jungle
of coconuts and other free fruit, and
could dress well (in a palm-leaf gird-
le) and keep fat without labor, what
possible inducement could there be
for them to go to work? Lever-
hulme found the answer. He import-
ed American motion pictures into the
Congo and gave a free show in every
African village. That was his
scheme to get the crowds for subse-
quent shows. There after he gave
movie shows every night, the price of
admission being five coconuts. He
soon became the coconut king. Doubt-
less he next became the soap king
because of his virtual monopoly of co-
conut oil. an ingredient of fashionable
toilet emulsions.—Youth’s Compan-
ion.

THE HANGOVER
Johnny had been the guest of hon-
or at a party the day before, and his
friend Paul was regarding him en-
viously.
“How was it? Have a good time?”
he asked.
“Did I?” was the emphatic an-
swer. “I ain’t hungry yet!”—Amer-
ican Legion Weekly,

happiness of the motor tourist are

TO THE FARMERS OF TITIIS
COUNTY AT LARGE
As it will be impossible for me to see each of you in person I am taking this
method of appealing to you for your patronage and cooperation this season, as I feel
sure that if we cooperate together we can make our interest mutual and profitable.
I haven’t the words to express my app preciation of the nice and liberal business giv-
en us the past season, and I have dohfe my best to show you by deeds, and acts, my ap-
preciation of your liberal patronage. It will be our aim and desire to do all we can to
make your business a pleasure to us and pleasant and profitable to you, and when you
come to our gin or mill, we want you to feel that you are at home, and give us a few
minutes of your time in a social way, and let’s all be neighbors, and friends, and let
us feel toward each other as a neighbor and friend indeed.
I want every man who has a bale of cotton seed to sell to ask himself the ques-
tion: “Shall I sell them a home enterprise who helps me pay the expense of City and
County and State Government, and helps me educate my children by way of taxation, or
shall I sell them to some one who does not pay one cent of tax to my county for the
maintenance of our school, and does not furnish work for my neighbor friend who has
to feed his children, and try and educate them by the sweat of his brow?” I earnest-
ly ask that you think over these matters before you act.
We want to call your attention to the fact that we wiii exchange with you this
season just as we did last season, pound of meal for pound of seed, and in my honest
opinion this is a much better thing for any of us who have seed to dispose of to ex-
change them for feed, and use your meal that you will not want to feed on your land as
a fertilizer, as there is nothing in the market better. In my opinion the best fertilizer
is barn yard fertilizer, and the next best is Cotton Seed Meal. There is nothing that
you can’t feed Cotton Seed Meal to from the chickens up, and in my opinion the cheap-
est feed that can be had, besides it is your own product, and you have it and do not have
to buy it, and a number of our farmer friend s who exchanged their seed and had more
feed than they could use, we are only glad to pay them the cash for all that they had
coming to them, and proven to be quite a little help in the way of a saving fund. I
want to ask that you give these matters you r careful consideration, remembering always
that we will appreciate any and all business intrusted in our hands. Again thanking
you and each of you for your past business, and a conthiuance of same, we beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
