The Editor took an overland trip to
Knoxville one day last week and we
never saw prospects more promising
for the farmers. The corn crop is
especially heavy and if it shouldn't
rain another drop, we belive there
would still be an immense crop as
much of the corn seems to be fully
developed. We congratulate the
farmers of East Tennessee. Here's
wishing you continued prosperity and
success for on you depends the sue
cess of the rest of mankind.
An interesting program has been
prepared by the Monroe Hortlcultur-
al Society to be given at its annual
meeting at Madisonvile, August 10.
All are invited to attend. 1t is ex-
pected that families bring dinner for
themselves and friends. This So
ciety has done and is doing great
deal of good for those who have taken
an interest in it and the citizens Of
Blount county should take more
interest in the matter. We hope
there will be good attendance from
this county.
Little Jamie, the 20 months old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. R. Newly, came
very near being seriously hurt Sun
day. The little fellow wandered
down to the yard gate, which was
open, and met the COW, which was
tossing her head about, according to
COW custom, when one of her horns
struck the little boy in the mouth,
knocking out one tooth and driving
two others rather solidly up into the
gum. The gum was also lacerated
some, but no other damage was done.
1t was close call.
The report that Ed. Mccall, from
near Maryville was robbed in "South
America" yesterday proves to be
false. Mccall was on a spree. He
fell in with some companions on Cen
trail avenue and hired buggy to take
them south of the river. He was to
pay a certain amount for the time he
was out. When he got some distance
out on the Maryville pike his time
ran out and he was put out. A few
minutes later huckster came driving
along from town and Mccall got per
mission to ride with him., Mccall got
the impression that the huckster's rig
was the one he had hired from a
livery stable and he ordered the buck
ster to turn about and drive to town.
OF course the huckster wouldn't dc
that and Mccall commenced to abuse
him and jumped out and Selling the
team nearly upsetting the whole busl
ness in deep ditch near by. The
huckster's dander ''riz" by this time
and leap,ng out of his wagon he
didn't do thing but give Mccall one
of the prettiest thumpings he evel
received. Mccall came back to towr
with a mouth full of loose teeth ant
SOLDERING blood over his shirt front
He was sight to behold and thu
story he put up that he was robbed
: was readily believed by those wit
