Among the States that have contrib'

the counties in the State perhaps none
has done more than that Of Franklin.

Davy Crockett, one Of the immortal

Vanzant, who was Minister from the
Republic of Texas to the United States,
and who was one Of the most intlncn-
tial citizens in the State ut the time OF
his death. also lived in the same com
nunity. Tom. Green, who poured gu,
his life on the bloody field of Mas,
spent his hoNhoud in your town.
