My Fellow-Citizens,- tarry but n moment
az this ancient and interesting city, whose story
goes back, j think, to tho establishment Of the
state Of Franklin, Of which perhaps not all OF
you-certsinly not these little ones-ever heard,
which John Sewer attempted 20 set up an In
dependent Commonwealth. But yet Il Is not Of
antiquity that desire 70 speak, for ancient his
tory IL not OF tho greatest interest TO you now.
Tho Scripture speaks-I think my Postmaster
General IL near and II / fall into error he will
correct me tlaughterl--of n time when
mo old things SHAH pass away and all
things shall become new. Tennessee is
realizing that beatitude--the old things, tho old
way OF doing things, the stiff clay and steep
mountain roads have passed AWAY and the
steaDl-car has come. The old times Of isolation
whom see, made their frontier homes have
| passed away and Influences from the outside
| have come; life has been made easier 10 men
and easier TO the toiling women, who used TO
carry water from the spring at the bottom Of the
| hill In piggin, but now by modern appliances
have 10 brought into the kitchen. You have
come 20 know that not the surface only Of the
soil has wealth In Il but that under the surface
there are vast sources Of wealth 10 gladden. the
homes OF your people and to bring with new In
dustries thrifty population.

nag and all are for the Constitutions when IL has
been forever put out Of the minds Of oil people
that this Union can be dissolved or this Consti-
| tuition overthrow lGreat cheering.l On all
