HOW watches are Made

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, large proper
ton of the precious metal used, is need
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the neces,
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold Is actually needless so far as UTIL-
ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAS.
BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CA
SEES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third
to One-half of the usual cost of solid
cases This process is of the NEST sim
pie nature, as follows a plate of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID
GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centers, bezels, etc,
are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold In these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds
of chasing, engraving and cnameling :;
the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.

PUT YOURSELF LNHLs PLACE

Here is how a brother journalist
puts it: We presume that some
people think that newspaper men
are persistent duns let a farmer
place himself in a similar business
position and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose that he raised
one thousand bushels of wheat, and
and his neighbor should come and
buy bushel, and the price was on
ly a small sum of two dollars or less,
and the neighbor says, II will pay
you the amount in a few days. "
As the farmer did not want to be
small about the matter, he says all
right. Another comes in the same
way, until all the one thousand bush
els of wheat are trusted out to one
thousand different persons, and not
one of them concerns himself about
it because it is a small amount that
he owes the farmer and of course
that would not help him any. He
does not realize that the farmer has
FILTERED away his large crop of
wheat and that its value is due him
in a thousand little driblets, and
that he is seriously embarrassed in
his business because his debtors
treat it as a little matter But if all
would pay him promptly which
they could do as we'll as not, it would
be a very large amount to the farm
er and enable him to carry on bust
ness without d Ifficulty, The above
is too true of the Difficult
ties that the newspaper man has to
contend with.

Near Dickson, Tenn, on the 18th,
VIM. Houston, we'll known in that
section as a schoolmaster and Meth
odist preacher, man about so years
old, with grown children, who is sep
arated from his wife, with a party of
friends, including a Squire, went to
the house of a respectable, quiet old
farmer named Mcclure, who had
handsome daughter about Is years
old named Kate Driving into the
yard they called out Miss Kate and
Houston and her were married by
the Squire At this stage of events
the irate father appeared on the
scene and proceeded to give the ven
cradle reverend, his new son-in-law, |
a severe kicking. AS the party were |
making their escape he leveled his
shotgun at the bridegroom and pull
ed trigger without effect, but shot |
again with better success, putting a
load of bird shot into the head Of
young lawyer of the bridal party
named Green. Great excitement is
to prevail in the locality on
account of the prominence of the
parties, and the disparity in the ages
of Houston and his young wife.

THE KOFFTN KHAN.

The Coffin family of the United
States had a grand three days re
union at Nantucket, Mass, COM
mencing on the 10Th. The Collins
of Knox and other counties of East
Tennessee, were represented by
Charles p. Coffin, Esq, of Arkansas,
formerly of Knoxville Tristan
Coffin, from whom these Collins de-
scended, died October 3, 1851. He
left no will, and although he had
been possessed of large property,
he had decided the most of it away
previous to his death, the only con-
sideration in the deeds being his ere
gard and natural affection" AT his
death he left a posterity Of seven
children, sixty grandchildren, and
numerous great grandchildren. In
1928 his descendants numbered l.
582, of whom 1 ,128 were then living.
In 1926, the number of his descen-
dants in the United States was esti-
mated at $4,000. They are now es-
timated at 100000. They were not
all at Nantucket last week, but at
least six HUNDRED live Collins took
part in the reunion, and our Charlie
was one Of the speakers.

NOT TO Re MIXED

The Board of Trustees of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, at a meeting
last week, determined not to admit
coIored students to that institution,
the act of the Legislature under
which the University is endowed
providing for the education Of quail
flied pupils, irrespective Of race or
color, to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The Trusees could not have
determined otherwise without en-
tirely destroying the University, for
the two races can never be brought
to intermingle in such relations sue
cessfully. The admission of color
ed cadets would bar the attendance
of all but them, and would insure
the immediate dissolution Of the in
stitution. The uItimatum of the
Trustees is incorporated in q resolu-
ton adopted instructing the Finance
Committee to make arrangements
with the trustees and faculty of the
Fisk University, Of Nashville, for
the instruction of such colored stu
dents as may be appointed under
law by Senators and Representatives
as may be able to pass the requisite
examination prescribed by the fac
ulty of the University of Tennes-
see, and subject to the laws of the
University, and appropriating mo-
ney to pay the fees of such cOlored
students. This no doubt will be sat
isfactory to the colored class and will
forever we hope settle the status of
the University of Tennessee.

Wonderful Power.

When a medicine performs such
cures as Kidney-Wort is constantly
doing, it may truly be said to have
wonderful power. A carpenter in
Montgomery, Vt, had suffered tor
eight years from the worst of kid

for work. He says,

and l sincerely believe it will re-

OUR FEMALE HIGH SCHOOL,.

Do the people of Morristown re-
aIize all or half of the benefits which
have accrued to them during the
last thirteen years from this school?
Rev. Il. L. Summers, its present eff
ficient head, then came in our midst
and has labOred earnestly in his vO-
cation ever since The results of
that labor can be fully realized only
in the hereafter. Hundreds of young
ladies have been educated by him,
and their influence is now silently
leavening society here and else
where. We believe it is the sense
of this community that this noble
old institution of learning is in ca
pable hands-in fact that it could
not be under better management
than it has in the persons of Profs.
Summers and Miller. Both are ripe
in experience, in scholarship, in
sound Judgment and iE that person
al refinement and culture essential
to the delicate task of female educa-
ton. We would remind the public.
and our home readers especially,
that the next session of the school
will commence on Thursday, Sep
tember /, and that it is very impor-
tant that every student that can
possibly do so should enroll on that
day. If they postpone until Mon
day, organization will be hindered,
and thereby all will lose. The pros
poets, especially for boarding pupils,
we are pleased to learn, is better
than for years. Boarding can be
obtained for ten dollars per month,
including everything. 1t is the in
tention of the Principals to make
the school the equal of the best in
every respect. Is it too much for us
to promise a hearty cooperation on
the part of this town and the good
people surrounding it /? We think
not Let all help that should do so.
1t will be appreciated, and will IN
sure the best years success in the
history of the school.

cit is Curing Everybody, .

writes a druggist. "Kidney-Wort is
the most popular medicine we SELL" It
should be by right, for no other medi-
cine has such specific action on the liv-
er, bowels and kidneys. If you have
those symptoms which indicate bilious
ness or deranged kidneys do rot fail to
procure it and use faithfully. In liquid
or dry form it is sold by all druggists.

It is semi-officially stated that the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia railroad authorities are arrang-
ing for the reduction of the passen-
ger fare on their entire lines, from
Bristol to Meridian, Miss, to uni
form rate of three cents a mile. The
change may take effect on the first
of next month, but possibly not till
the first Of October. After such ar
rangement is made there will be no
more excursion and round trip tick
cts, but the uniform rate of three
cents a mile. This is certainly
within the bounds of reason, will
place railroad travel within the
reach of all, and win no doubt more
than recompense the management
Of the road. in the increase of travel
which will surely follow.

of the First NJ. Z. Church at Knox
vile, now general superintendent of
Sunday School work in the Southern
States, of Cleveland, filed the pulpit
Of the NJ. E. Church, South, III this
place last FIR day night. Mr.. Ford
ranks as one Of the ablest pulpit or
ators of the day, and his effort that
night detracted nothing from his
reputation His theme was mans
success and failure, as illustrated in
the parable of Lazarus and the rich
man, and rarely has this community
listened to an ADLER, more earnest
and impressive sermon. 1t was an
nOunced by the pastor in charge, at
the close of the meeting, that Mr.
Ford would assist him in the exer-
cises of the Quarterly Meeting to
commence in that church next Fri
day night, and that he would fill the
pulpit again next Sunday morning.

The Tribune Sunday morning of
last week created tremendous sen
sation IN Knoxville by announcing
in @ll displayed headlines that a
romantic wedding in high life, that
had secretly taken place some time
ago, would be publicly announced
from the pulpit of the Church street
church that morning. Of course it
was read or heard of by every old
and young man and woman, mar
ried and single, and of course it
drew to the Church street tabernacle
an immense congregation, and bro
ther Rankin had never before so ell
egant an opportunity of scattering
good seed in all sorts of ground.
The worthy pastor was no doubt as
tOnished at the effect of the skillfully
wOrded advertisement The HOlStOn
Methodist says that he made the
best of the situation by preaching
very pointed practical sermon, and
pronounced the benediction without
the slightest reference to the sensa-
tional announcement. The some-
thing else did not come, as neither
The pastor nor his people assumed
any responsibility for the announce
ment that brought the curious heart
ed together with the meek hearted
to the church. Yet the joke was
rough on the other pastors who
preached their morning sermons that
day to beggarly account of empty
pews.
