In nearly all of our exchanges we
read of Memorial day being prop
erly observed, but in Maryville it
went by just like any other day
except that the post-office and
Banks were closed. Why is this?
Isn't Maryville patriotic or isn't
here enough energy here to honor
the old soldiers?
We understand from an exchanges
that Rev.. A. Ruble has been APP
pointed as a member OF the Board
of directors of the Grant Memorial
University of'Athens. DR.. Carter,
whose place he takes was fired on
account of the unpleasant relation
existing between him and DIR. r. j
Cooke. 1t is our opinion that DIR.
Cooke should also be fired if he
does not resign.
Miss Sarah Griffin of Maryvile
who has lived with the family of
G. A. McCarn for nearly two years
past, started for her home in Ten
nessee last Wednesday. Miss Girl
ffinl has made .many friends here
on account of her intellectual and
social qualities, and is highly re
spected for her unaffected devotion
to religion. AT the Epworth League
social Tuesday night c. A.
McCarn, in well chosen words, in
behalf of the M. f. unday school
and members of the Epworth Leag-
ue, presented her with o very fine
Oxford Bible. Although taken en-
tirely by surprise the response and
thaeks were Characteristic Of the
young lady. All hope pleasant
memories may go with her TO her
southern home.-Le Claire (IoWa)
Journal.
The colored boy, John Walker,
who killed old Aunt Jane George
and wounded three Others and shot
at one more some time back,
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree with mitigating cir
cumstances. The mitigating cir
cumstance being the fact that
Walker swore that he did not mean
to kill the old lady, but accidently
shot her while shooting at Cal Bar
ger. So Judge Gibson who presid-
ed sentenced Walker to the pen for
life. There came very near being a
hanging in Maryville This county
has been too loose in the punish
ment of criminals in the past but it
looks as though the jurymen had
determined that it should mean
something to break the laws from
the verdicts given at this term of
the court.
James Prater, an old citizen of
this county, who has lived in the
9TH district of Blouut county since
1888, was in town Monday and had
in his possession an old Indian pipe
which he found near where the cele
brated CherokeeIndian Chief, Choto,
was buried. The pipe is carved out
of one solid piece of stone of some
kind. The pipe bowl sits on base
having four rectangular sides
about two inches long and at the
other end is what is thought to be
II place for the finger in holding
the pipe. The. Highest part of this
is about half an inch and on top
it has thirteen hicks and on the
ends where the stem is inserted
and SIDES of the base are thirteen
small dots. On one side of the
base is scratched the immage of
gun and on the other what appears
to be a stake-and-rider fence. The
bowl is about an inch high. Mr..
Prater dug up the remains of Cho-
to in the year 1867, but found the
pipe the 2lst of last month. 1t is
curious relic. We have seen pict-
ures of such pipes, but never saw
one before.
