The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1895-10-03

T. u, held at Knoxville last week,
by Mesdapes Stanley, McTeer and
Miss Marston. Friendsville also had
two delegates present, Mrs. T. R.
Lee and another lady. The Friends
vile Loyal Temperance Legion was
alss present in body and entertained
the delegates and visitors with reel
tations, songs etc. Blount county can
be depended upon to always be well
represented in any good work.
We received a letter this week stat
ing that the writer had received coun--
terit silver dollar from citizen of
the county in a business transaction
and asking whether or not the dollar
should be taken back. or the fact be re-
ported to U. S. officer. Our advice
would be this, if the one you received
the dollar from is in your opinion a
bad man and passed the coin wilfully,
report it. If you think he is man
who would not purposely do a thing
of the kind, return the coin to him
and he will undoubtedly make it
right.
Messrs. N. H. Greer and A. S.
Henderson, the former Clerk and
Master and the latter County Court
Clerk of Loudon County, were arrest
ed by officers in citizens clothing at
! Chattanooga last week The officers
were under the impression they were
capturing two desperate thieves as
they showed their pistols around very
recklessly and hand-cufed the gentle
men. They were soon identified and
released, but it was not very pleas
ant occurance and Chattanooga is
liable to have good sized damage
suit on her hands. Both gentlemen
are well known here.
Again we urge the County Court
to consider the proposition of buying
and properly housing at least one
good blood hound. Their presence
has a wholesome effect on criminals.
1t wasn't a week after the death of
Sheriff Walkers best dog, until the
Jas. Strange barn was burned. If
the dogs could have been taken out
there, they would soon have had the
fellow who set it. This barn burning
has been stopped in this county for
some time, but this is probably the
beginning of another series of burnings
such as we had a year ago.
The fifth annual meeting and the
third annual display of the East Ten
nessee Horticultural Society at Knox
, vile proved to be a phenomenal sue
cess. 1t was wisely held during the
attle-held encampment, and was
visited by ten Thousand and over.
The Sons OF Veterans visited it in q
body. On every hand it was regar'
ded as remarkable, and by many wa:
pronounced superior to every display
| of California fruits, except citrus fruits
f Universally it was regarded as bet
ter display than that made at thu
Worlds Fair at Chicago. The South
a ern Railway Co. packed the entire
e display and shipped it to form par
a of their exhibit at Atlanta.
