Again the death summons has come and Ellie Hargett, of Camp Coventry, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Hargett, of Obion, has answered the call. He was a young man, 22 years old. He answered his country's call and was stationed at Camp Wads worth, S. C. He was doing his best service in tho medical corps. Ellie was a man of fine physical stature, mental ability and was imbued with a commendable ambition. He was a boy 'who loved home--mother and father. Just to know him in the home circle and the love he cherish ed for those he came in contact with was a pleasure. He delighted in any effort to do something that mother and father would appreciate. His life was an example of a true man hood. He wa3 worthy of the regard of all who knew him. His life was appreciated and his death brings sor row to his friends and associates. We feel glad to know one so dear and so near us, striving to do what his country required, also did what his God required. In the army of God he's enlisted, and there he will re main, for 'twas here he joined as a brave and humble private in the home of God, waiting and wearing victor's shiny crown. Ellie died of pneumonia and was brought to his parents' home near Obion and his remains interred at Union Grove Cemetery, Rev. Fuzzell and Rev. McLemore c onducting funeral services. Those who survive him are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Hargett, a brother, Vester Lee Hargett, who is now in Camp Sher idan, Ala., Mrs. Nola Carr, Kenton, little Albert and Vera Hargett, a number of relatives and friends. A COUSIN. THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS MEETING IN NASHVILLE Esq. S. R. Bratton, who represents Obion County on the Board of Com missioners of. 'Public Highways in Tennessee, was called to Nashville this week to attend a joint meeting of the Federal and Stato Highway Commissions." Returning home, Mr. Bratton informs us that preparations are being made to survey and con struct twelve Federal public high ways in Tennessee, and that some action must be taken by the coun ties to co-operate with the work. Tennessee has been alloted $4,000, 000, and that gives to each county, where these highways are located each $65,000. There is now a State tax of 10 per cent for these high ways. That amounts to about $22,000 for each county. Now those counties which participate in these good roads must appropriate the dif ference between this tax and the amount of the county allotment from the State and nation. That'll each County Court must appropriate some thing like $40,000, elso tho Federal and State money will be distributed among those counties who make their appropriations to the fund and the routes will be changed accordingly Now, the Federal and State money will be used first and road construe tion may not begin for a year. So all that is needed for the counties to do is to pledge their part of the money, to be allowed when called for. There are to be twelve Federal roads in Tennessee, and the road for this part of the State, routed from Jordan, Ky., to Memphis, is classed as the Twelfth Federal State High way. Now, we would suggest that the matter be taken up by the County Court for consideration at its Jan uary term. There is a probability of bonds being issued to liquidate the county's indebtedness, and why not embrace in this bond issue also road bonds to meet the demand for this Federal Highway, which is routed immediately thru the central part of the county. Obion County Is amply able to do this, and the bonds could be floated very cheaply. Money is now the cheapest thing there is Now of all times is the time to issue bonds, and there will be plenty of takers at a small rate of interest.

Union City has another problem on it3 hands. Last week the deep well at the Water and Light Plant, where we get nearly all the water we use, issued a bank of sand, which was pumped up in the place of water and immediately the well went dry." There are two more wells but they furnish only a small per cent of our supply. These wells are now in U3e and from them we are -now "getting a limited supply. Mayor Pittman proceeded at once to get something done. Mr. Lan nom was called from Memphis to ex amine our well, and he was employ ed at once to locate the trouble, and will be here with equipment In, a few days. There will be no time lost and if a new well is needed work will begin forthwith on the Job.

There U only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumblintr sound or imperfect hearintr, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion , hearintr will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing: but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. r We will trive One Hundred Dollars forany case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

We ask everyone to be careful in the use of water, as we have to shut the pumps down at 9:30 p. m. until 4:30 a. m. to keep enough to run thru the day. If the water is muddy in the morn ing, draw a bucket full and let it settle. Do not let it run until it gets clear, for by so doing you are liable to have to do without any. We are doing everything in our power to remedy the trouble. We further ask everyone to try their cut off and if it is not in good condition have it fixed at once. If you do not and we have freezing weather, your pipes are liable to freeze and burst, , , , F. E. QUINN, Supt Union City Water . and Light Works. ' Death of Marcus Williams.

The Human Factors In Good Service There are three parties to every tele phone conversation the party , calling, the trained operator, and the party who answers. All three share alike the respon- . sibility for quick-and accurate telephone service. The calling party should give the cor rect number in a distinct voice, speak ing directly into the transmitter, and wait at the telephone until the party an- 6wers or the operator reports. The called party should "answer promptly. . Patience on the part of the telephone user and the telephone operator is also es sential to good service. - , ' ' When you Telephone Smile , CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Incorporated What is Needed to Spray 300 Trees. Plan to spray, and get your spray materials early. A fifty-gallon barrel pump will be the most economical sized pump for orchards of 300 to 400 trees. The equipment that will be necqssary to make the spray outfit complete will include the pump, barrel, hose bands, and couplings, 15 to 20 feet of spray hose, an 8-foot iron extension rod with brass stop cock, , and a spray nozzle. If desired, a brass Y and two nozzles can be attached to the ex tension rod in place of one nozzle. Many times in spraying the or chard it is advisable to spray two rows at a time when going between, the rows. This requires the services, of two men in spraying, besides a. man to pump and drive the team. In 'this case two leads of hose will be necessary, two extension rods, and two nozzles, and the hose leads should each be 25 feet long. Where only one lead, is used, it is. more satisfactory to use the brass Y and two nozzles. The ordinary bar rel pump can maintain sufficient pres sure for two nozzles. Two nozzles makes it possible to throw more spray and work more rapidly than when only one nozzle is used. Several, types of nozzles are in common use. ' The price for the outfit complete will be in the neighborhood of $30.
