The officers and trustees of the Hol-
land Aid society wish To make a plain
statement regarding their action dur
ing the illness aud death of one OF
their members, the son Of Mrs. Corn
ella Llndhout, who Was an employe OF
the Blsseii Carpet Sweeper Co.
The society was most tender and as
sidu0us IN rs care of the young man.
For three months the members paid
from the sick fund s. weekly, and dur
ing the second three months OF the dy-
ing mans long illness they paid $3.50
weekly and this WAS supplemented by
. SIS donation made at oae time. Al
ter the death of their friend, sl25 was
paid from the burial fund. A large
sum Was also realized from the pro-
eeeds of benefit dance given by the
society. Mrs. NJ. K. Blsseil also gave
literally, nearly $50 IN all. The society

idea that their order is incapable OF. or

A Spirit Of Enterprise.

The spirit of enterprise seems to
have struck the New Era all al once
and in every spot. Listen:
"Verily it made the heart bound
with riotous delight; it made the
senses leap with strange gladness !;
it drove skepticism from faint souls
and fastened conviction where erst-
while there was doubt II; it planted
faith in bosoms that were wanting
in that essential quality; it made the
day seem brighter, the landscape
more lovely and life more worth liv.
ing, and it lent sweeter strain to
the songs of the birds, even to the
twittering of the English sparrow.
What are we talking about? Why,
about that long train of camp uten.
sis, labCrers, teams, tools and nipple
ments for railroad building which
moved out from the city this morn
ing to begin work near Gracey."

clarksville the Healthiest City.

The death rate per thousand popu-
lation per annum in the leading
cities OF Tennessee, in January, as re-
ported by the State board of health,
has raised sharp controversy be-
tween the papers of those two rival
cities, Knoxville and Chattanooga.
Knoxville makes better showing
for healthiness than Chattanooga,
and this brings the jealous Chatta-
nooga Times to its feet with some
cross.grained, bad tempered epithets,
denouncing the report as the same
old fraud, giving Knoxville 43,706
population by hitching on West,
North and South Knoxville. The
Tribune makes strong, but court
eous reply, showing that the report
is correct and just, the deaths of the
suburbs being included, and claims
that Knoxville is the heaIthiest city
in the South.
However these excellent journals,
in discussing the question, refer only
to Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nash
vile and Memphis. Whereas, if
they were to publish the whole re-
port they would Sow GAINESVILLE as
the healthiest city in the South.
Following are all the cities named in
the report showing the death rate
per 1000 population: Clarksville
1852, Knoxville 1924, Columbia
1907, Murfreesboro 1920, Chattanoo-
ga $500, Nashville 2O.54, Memphis
1854.
Chattanooga may bask in the
shadow of the biggest mountain !;
Knoxville take on the apple,jack
flush from her beautiful valleys !;
Nashville flourish on hoecake baked
on lime stoue, and Memphis roll on
cotton mattress, but GAINESVILLE.
the Queen City of the Cumberland,
set upon seven hills and, nesting
amid bubbling springs and ripping
streams, shifting the sweet odors
brought by signing zephyrs-Clarks-
vile, the coming iron city of Amer
lea, with her thousand hills of rich
est yielding metal, stands top; ahead
of all in the health comparison. Give
in, Tatom.

AN ENTERTAINING LECTURE.
The Customs of the Persians and Sy-
rians," BY DR.. Jas. Rogers.

There was a good audience present
last night at the Y. M. G. A. rooms
to hear DR.. Jas. Rogers deliver a lee
ture on the "Customs Of the Persians
and Syrians."
The lecture was delivered in good
style and proved very interesting.
DIR. Rogers has Travelled considerably
ia these countries and bases his re-
marks on actual experience. The
Persians, as is known to all readers
of history, live in inferior houses,
and have their chickens, stock and
dogs all in their abode with them.
From what DIR. Rogers says
the flea crop is very fine. While
he was there he found 1t
necessary to make him sack to
sleep in. He Gays he would make
his valet hold the sack open and he
would climb up on box and jump
in it, making the servant pull the
draw string. He always provided
himself with a knife to cut a hole in
the sack when he wanted fresh air.
Sometimes when he would cut the
hole and put his mouth to it he
would feel an army of fleas rush to
the aperture. He would just swal-
low them; they gave him less
trouble on the inside than on the
out.
DR.. Rogers will possibly return
here in the future with costumes
necessary to rig up complete Per-
sian family.

Confederate Soldiers home at the

Nashville has volunteered to furnish
the kitchen complete. Another, a

has been assigned to Montgomery

$50 will suffice after fashion, but
not that more could not be used to

Home is completed and now ready
for the furnishing of the rooms.
Forbes Bivouac agreed to furnish
one room to be called in memory of
its first president, "Polk G. johnson
ROOM" To do this in a neat manner
it will take fifty dollars. AS the funds
of the bivouac are hardly sufficient
for incidental expenses and necessary
care of our needy comrades, and that
all may have an opportunity of con-
tributing something for this worthy
purpose, we call for voluntary Offer
ing from the people of Montgomery
county to aid us in our efforts to
make some old soldier comfortable in
his declining years.
Every member of the bivouac is
expected to contribute, and also in
terest others in this work of love,
and any sum over the amount neces-
sary to furnish the room will be used
for the comfort of the inmates of the
