To the Editor Of the MOFristovn Gasstts.
Why Is It that nothing has ever yet
been said of Vanderbilt, the county
seat of UnicoiS and how is it that the
loYeliest little town In all East Tennessee
has failed to attract newspaper attention.
This place is situated thirteen miles
south Of Jonesboro, and would at first
sight make one think of some much
Fesd of "laRd of romance" instead of
a real Tennessee village. 1t Is surround
ed by scenery unsurpassed for beauty.
The high Unaka mountain, decksd In
varied hues of veFdancy, bound It. on
the south, while Buffalo and its adjacent
spurs make an imposing picture on the
north. Streams of cool, pellucid water
run In every direction. Speaking of the
village exclusively, it is yet in its in
fancy, but rapidly growing into town.
A number of new houses have been
erected. Three stores are In full opera
ton and restaurants, while churches al
up extra corners and back streets.
Circuit court has been in session here
this week. Everything passed OF quiet
ly. That spoke well for the citizena.e

Our farmers would do well TO study
the war probabilities just at this juno
ture. The prospect of two years
struggle, in which the powers of Europe
are to be engaged. and in consequence
of which everything edible is to be run
up to a fabulous price, Is by no means
so fiattering as il was. On the contrary,
the chances are now that the war will be
closed before the summer Is over. There
Is great danger that serious loses and dis
appointments will ensue from too long
holding back for - war prices" Better
be satisfied with enough in hand, than
wait for what will probably never come.
