students. These students stand high
and are respected by all. There are a
number of our best students that have
to work part of every day in order
that they may maintain themselvs in
school. Does it result because they
have to do this they are scorned? BY
no means. Intelligence is always
respected. In any avocation OF life
it is not the man that possesses the
most wealth and can make the big
gest show that is respected most; but
it is the man Of intelligence, poo
though he be, that commands the
respect of every one. May Maryyille
College remain the true friend to the
poor boy: and may the same spirit OF
reverence for earnest effort to obtain
an education ever prevail.
The entertainment given by Prof.
Byron w. King and wife at Colum-
bian Hall last Friday evening was the
best elocutionarY entertainments ever
given in Maryville. The house was
filled, for Prof. King holds warm
place in the hearts of the people.
This entertainment shows the power
Of the human voice. 1t is time that
the youth should wake up to learn
what gift the voice is. We are
glad to see the students taking more
care to cultivate the art of speaking.
The voice is not only power in the
art Of speaking but in music. What
has more mower over the hunan
mind than music! OF course instru.
mental music is pleasing, but no
music has such power as that of a
we'll trained voice. Yet there are
many students who will not try to
speak and to sing. This is because
they do not realize what power the
human voice is and their voice is of
very little more use to the world than
the voice Of goose. A thing used
simply to announce that there is such
thing as goose in existence to the
annoyance of other part of the living
world. One should have a cultivated
voice not only for speaking in public,
but every where. ltmatters not how
much one know, if he is not able to
impart this knowledge to others in a
manner that is understood, his knowl-
edge is of little avail. Let the young
people of Maryvllle college wake up
to the latent power which in hidden
in their voices.

Picnic and Students Reunion at
MaryvIlle, Normal and Pfepar-
atory School.
On Friday, May IS, beginning at 8
a. M. there will be picnic on the
Maryyille Normal and Preparatory
School grounds for the special benefit
of all the students that have enrolled
this year. We want every student to
be present. Dinner will be served in
nice style on the grounds. There
will be literary program which may
be of interest. Also we are very anx-
ious to get picture of the whole
school. There has been $50 enrolled
and out of that number we surely can
gather as many as 100. So whatever
you may be doing, please make ar
engagements to be here and tell each
student you may chance to meet.
The pictures can be bought for ssc
to CSC. each.
OLD STUDENTS.

we would like to see on the grounds,
every student that has ever attended
this school. Throughout Blount
County there are hundreds and hum
dreds that have IN days and years
past been students in this school.
Now let us all, perhaps for the
first time, meet together and have a
good time. Twenty years have made
a marked change on some of us. The
purpose Of this reunion is to organize
a Students Reunion, to elect Pres.
Vice Pres. Secretary and Treasurer,
and prepare program for next year.
We believe this would prove bene-
fetal as we'll as pleasant. Now don't
let each one stand back and wait "to
see what the thing is going to be"
but be present and help organize.
Dinner will be furnished those of the
old students coming from distance.
Some little entertainment in the way
Of literary program will be given.

would make a handsome thing out Of
the sale. When the Hobbs factory
was transferred, the United States
Company issued about $4,000 worth
of stock certificates, all Of which would
be Asurned, and $4,000 cash in add
ton 1t is the policy OF the Company
TO buy up its stock in the ratio OF one
share of preferred to five Of common,
hence the figures in his proposition.
Since the Hobbs factory changed
hands, it has deprecated in value. One
furnace, which was erected at 4 cost
Of $4,000, was RACED, and m0lds valued
at $4,000 were removed at one time.
When the plant was purchased from
Hobbs, BrOckunier & Co., the price was
S42, 600. and it is not worth more than
that sum at present. These facts were
laid before President Ripley, but the
two sides failed to come to an agree
ment as TO terms.
4 gentleman who is interested in
the proposed deal, stated last night that
no such exorbitant price will be paid
for the plant. South Side citizens are
anxious TO have a glass factory and
movement has been started TO organize
a company to erect a plant. 1t has al
ready assumed tangible shape, as sub
scription papers have been prepared,
and an option has been secured on Il
suitable site in the Eighth ward. The
subscription papers will be circulated
udring the coming week. and it is ex-
pected that a glass factory will be in
operation before many months have
elansed.

RIPLEY WANTS THE, EARTH.
He Asks an ExOrbitant Price for the
Hobbs Factory
Which Is Declined by Persons who
Contemplated Making the Deal
AnotherFactory to be Established
on the South Side.

On Friday last, Messrs. Henry
Schmulbach and c. w. Brockunier
went up to Pittsburg and held a con-
ference with President Ripley, OF the
United States Glass Company, relative
to the purchase of factory H the cd
plant of Hobbs, Brockunier & Co., at
the head Of Thirty-sixth street. The
Wheeling gentlemen were prepared to
make what they considered fair pro-
position, but first heard the PROPOSE
ton of President Ripley The terms
named by that Official were so far out
of the question that the matter was
dropped, and Messrs. Schmulbach and
Brockunier returned to this city.
President Ripley's proposition for the
transfer of the plant as it stands at
present, was as follows: $4,000 of
common stock in the United States
Glass Company, $4,000 of preferred
stock, and $4,000 cash. Common stock
would be accepted at il and preferred
at about 20. Assuming these figures
to be correct, President Ripley's valua-
ton of factory H" would be about
$4,000 1t is understood that the
Wheeling gentlemen offered $4,000,
and President Ripley made a price OF
100000 in cash.
If President Ripley's terms were ac-
cepted, the United States Company

The charming story of Southern life
which is told in Alabama" was re-
lated to the two large audiences at the
Opera House Yesterday. The great
charm of the production lies in its
naturalness. No character or scene is
overdrawn. and there is no employ
ment of artificial means to produce a
climax. In this respect It is like Shore
Acres" and it is similar 10 Jim. the
Penman" in that there are no stellar
parts. The company is strong through
out: there is not weak point. The
third act shows one of the most charm
ing pictures ever placed on the Opera
House stage. Il is an Alabama bayou
with real palms and other plants. and
the stage is scented with magnolia
perfume. The management pays care
full attention to every detail
