A Marrow Escape.

Tuesday night w. c. Ruble started
from his home in East Maryville to
attend the K. of P. Lodge, Of which
he is Chancellor Commander, when
in attempting to cross the high foot
bridge across Pistol Creek he fell
through where there had been some
planks torn and sustained some Sci
we're injuries. He fell a distance Of
between ten and fifteen feet. None
Of his limbs were broken, but he was
injured internally-his lungs being
badly hurt. He splits up great dea1
Of blood. He lay where he fell unable
to move, for about twenty minutes,
with the rain pouring down upon him,
before he was found by little colored
boy, Chas. McAdoo, Who summons
ed aid. The doctors were quite uneasy
about his condition, but he is steadily
improving and the doctors say hi
will get along all right. We hope tt
see him able to be up soon.

Pubic sch OF Tax.

Petitions ", rdtd rs Ioiiows are
being circulated tn ugh he "nnty
and are being ex,,n-. ely signed:
"We the undersigned, rs'dents OF
Blounl County, bellv,Ing chat every
child Of the county should have the
inesIimabIe privilege of good and
thorough public school educati u, re
specially and earnestly petition the
County Court to so increase The rate
OF tax for school purposes that II may
be possible to give eight months OF
instruction IN each year in every pub
lie school bouse in the County OF
Blount."
This is a move in the right direction
and we hope every citizen to which
one Of these petitions is presented
will sign it and urge others to do so.
These are to be returned by Jan
I, 1898 to Hon. Moses H. Gamble,
the County Superintendent of Public
Schools, who will present them to
the County Court which meets Mon
day, Dec. grid.
As the railroad tax will be reduced
on account of the fact that the pres
ent years taxes will pay off the bond
ed lndebtness, we hope, with other
good citizens who have the welfare OF
the childran of the county at heart,
that this petition will be granted by
the court.

HALF A MILLION
Borrowed This Year by the State
and the End is not Yet.

The state treasury has borrowed so
far this year $500, ooo. If this money
had not been borrowed there would
have been deficit of $472, 600. 10.
And the end is not yet.
On Jan. I interest on the state debt,
amounting to $2ao, 900, will fall due.
There is now balance in the treasury
Of $77,oo3. 90, but there is enough
floating indebtness to consume this.
There are quite number of peniten-
tiary warrants outstanding, and con-
siderable amount will be due to vari-
Gus state charitable institutions on
the Ist OF next month.
Therefore it seems that the state
must borrow more money before thai
time.
1t looks very much as if money to
the amount of about $500, 900 will
have to be borrowed.

James Robin cite .

Lit Jane, Robnelte, died a.
his home in East .Maryvile Thurs
day at one u'ciock, OF membraneuuS
Group.
He was the little son of the below
ed pastor of the M. E. Church and
his aithful wife. He was born Oct.
7, 1892, at Knoxville. He was
child that lived beyond his years.
Everyone noted how bright and in
telligent he was for his age. During
his short stay at Maryville he had
won lis way into the heats of many
by his sweet disposition and many
were the riends who mingled SYM
pathetic tears with those OF the par
ents III their sad bereavement.
AS he was dying he put up his
little mouth and kissed his mother
and as both parents bent over him
weeping he put one little hand on
each mouth of father and mother
and whispered " Don't both of YOU"
Iheu the little life took its flight to
that beautiful home where it entered
unsullied by the sin and care of this
world, there to await and welcome
the coming of father, mother and
little sister
The funeral service will be con-
Quoted Christmas day at 1890 by

The Congressional Campaign.

AT the court house Monday the
citizens of Jefferson county were
treated to the first speeches of the
coming campaign from Jesse L.
Rogers, w. H. Buttram, J. R. Pen
land and J. A. Greer, four candi-
dates opposing the nomination of
Judge Gibson for congress.
Eugene Holtsinger, the chairman
OF the meeting, first introduced Hon
Jesse L. Rogers who in short talk,
presented his claims for the nomina-
tion, and he clearly proved to his
audience the inability of the present
member of congress to cope with
others in securing the federal patron
age that should come to this district,
showing, as a proof that about all
the occupants of the Knoxville Gus
tom house are from the first district.
Mr.. Buttram followed in a strong
plea for an "outside county" man,
presented his own claims, and also
held up the blue back spelling book,
as one great plank in his platform.
Ex-senator Penland next came
with speech that was we'll received.
His talk was in line with the republi-
can platform, except as regards the
civil service. He denounced Judge
Gibson in strong terms for not stick
ing to his friends.
James A. Greer, of Loudon, in &
plain common sense, practical tall
presented his claims as a successor
Of Judge Gibson. Mr.. Greer is no
a lawyer, bnt a competent business
man, and his talk was we'll received
The sentiment expressed by thu
people about the court house through
out the week gives Hon Jesse. L
as Jefferson county's favorite in tn
race. Having been a resident o
our county a number Of years hi
ability is we'll known to our peolpe
Judge Gibson has following in tn
county, but not equal to his opposl
ton combined. Messrs. Buttran
and Greer have practically no follow
ing here, while Penland has yer
little.
All the candidates VINO spoke ar
regarded as high toned gentlemen
and all seem to be at work with
common purpose in view-the defea
of Judge Gibson. -Dandridge New
