Physician's Body Is Found In
Well.
1 Clarksville, Nov. 3.—Falling
i into a. well, to which he is sup
posed to have gone for a drink,
i I)r. F. M. Cullom, a well-known
iphysician of Hartman, nine miles
I northwest of Clarksville, was
j drowned early this morning. His
'body was discovered in the well
about 6 o’clock after a search
'had been made about the house
{and yard.
Dr. Cullom, 50 years old, had
been in failing health for some
months. A general impression
that he had taken his life was
contradicted in the verdict of
a coroner’s jury held today at
Hartman, when the jury decided
death was accidental.
I He was in his night clothes
when found. Twice during the
last month, Dr. Cullom has fall
en in a faint on the streets of
| Hartman, and it is believed that
ihe experienced a sinking spell
; shortly before daylight this
morning. He is survived by his
wife and two children. Funeral
; arrangements have not been an
nounced.

PRESIDENT HUERTA
MUST RESIGN
I nde Sam Takes a Hand In
Mexican Trouble Demand
ing That Huerta Re
sign
Mexico City. Nov. —Presi
dent Huerta has been told he
must resign the presidency of
Mexico without loss of time and
he must leave as his successor
General Aureliano Bianquei, his
minister of war, or way other
member of his official family or
of the unofficial coterie whom he
might be exp cl- d t - control.
This ultimatum from Wash
ington was conwyeu to Presi
dent Huerta through his private
secretary, Senor RA-ago by Nel
son O’Shaughnessy. the Ameri
can charge d’affaires, acting un
der instructions fr w the State
Department.
Senor Rabago presented the
memorandum to his chief late
Sunday, but up to this evening
President Huerta had returned
no answer and as far as could
be learned, had guarded its con
tents from almost all of his of
ficial and intimate counsellors.
Those who learned of the
vvaMiingsoil nme jt'yam i ii'iitrai
Huerta’s position as one in
which he will be forced to give
one of two answers—refusal
point blank to comply with the
demand, possibly going so far
as to hand the diplomatic repre
sentative his passports, or the
elimination of himself officially
Those most intimate with the
president insist that the latter
course will not be taken for
many reasons, chief among
which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to
the rebels.
Official Mexico is no longer in
doubt that the Washington ad
ministration favors the rebel
|cause and is convinced that this
jis the means adopted by Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bry
an to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to
the national palace tonight the
diplomatic corps, but for what
purpose was not revealed.
Three of the ministers, those
of Germany, Norway and Rus
sia, were absent. They have
been in Vera Cruz where they
were in conference with Presi
dent Wilson’s representative,
John Lind, who is understood to
be fully conversant with the
latest- representations from
Washington.
Depository Row Ended.
Batesville, Nov- 3.—The Un
ion Bank and Trust Company
was today named by Judge Jef
fery as the Independence county
depository. The decision of
Judge Jeffery came after the
case had been appealed to the
supreme court and remanded
for new trial.
The County Court first named
the Citizens Bank and Trust
Company as county depository
on a bid of one-fourth of a cent
more than any other bank, with
out naming any specific amount.
The case was appealed on the
ground that this was not a legal
bid.

Deep Fall
Plowing Needed
To Raise Rest Crops And Weath
er Has Prevented Gathering
of Present Crop.
Fall plowing and deep tillage
are important factors in the
growing of good crops. Ihe bad
weather that has prevailed this
fall has delayed the gathering
of the cotton and the corn crops,
'and of course the farmers can
not break the ground for the
next crop until the present one
is gathered, hence many far
mers will be prevented 1 rom
breaking their land, or a part oi
it, until after the first of Janu
ary. However, those who can
should■ break all the land they
lean without delay. By tall
! breaking a greater amount ol
green stuff and vegetation will
'be turned under, and humus
|added to the soil. By adding hu
mus you get more organic mat
iter into the soil, and it becomes
enriched and otherwise impio\
! ed thereby. The vegetable mat
ter turned under will decay and
have a beneficial effect on the
soil No soil will last and con
tinue to make good crops with
out organic matter. Turning
under the weeds, grass and
| stalks will not meet every pur
>ose but it will go a long ways
towards maintaining the produc
tiveness of the soil,
i Deep tillage serves another
purpose. It gives a better seed
bed and more loose soil to hold
the moisture next year while
i the crop is growing, and also
goes a long war in preventing
■ washing. If soil is plowed shal
1 low the soft pulverized dirt or
■ top soil will easily wash away.
, If plowed deep the rainfall will
be absorbed to the full depth,
1 and the washing will be lessen

This example will apply t<> I
any other crop as well as corn, i
However, it is not best to break i
your land too deep. Do not j
break your ground more than 11
inches deeper than you did the
last time, unless you use a disk
plow and thoroughly mix the
soil. If you desire to go deeper
it will be alright to subsoil, and
in fact subsoiling will be a good
plan anyway.

Baby Burned to Death
The two year old baby boy of
John Hall, a negro living near'
the intersection of Vine and
Remmel Avenue was burned to
death at noon Tuesday in a (ire
that was probably started by J
the child playing with matches, j
The mother had gone over on !
Main street and there was no1
fire in the house. The two year 1
old child was sitting upon the |
bed playing with matches, which ;
had become ignited. A younger |
baby of only one year was play- j
ing beside the bed and rescued
unharmed by some of the neigh
bors when the blaze was discov
ered.
The older baby died in a half
hour from the burns received,
though only the bedding was
burned before the flames were
extinguished.

with McCrory High School here
Friday afternoon.
This is the first skirmish of

this popular game will no doubt
be on hand to give the local boys
th'e kind of encouragement it
takes to win games and also to
pay expenses.
