BLouNT COUNTY NORMAL.

bLSSN SSSN
While the people of old Blount
have not escaped the financial de-
preston, yet if one must judge from
the interest manifested in the
Blount County Teachers Institute,
which closed Friday July 2, he is
led to believe that the educational
interests of our county are in
progressive state.
The Institute opened June 2S,
with Supt. NJ. II. Gamble at the
helm, assisted by Prof. F. M. Gill.
Though this is Supt. CANDLES first
year as County Supt. he managed
the Institute like a veteran.
The people of our county are to
be congratulated on securing the
services of so able and efficient man
as Mr.. Gamble.
Though one of the youngest Sup
erintendents in the state he is one
of the best. Nose ia one of our own
boys being raised and educated in
this county. Prof. Gamble is an
enthusiast along the educational
line and the friends to education
may rest assured that the schools OF
this county are in safe hands.
The Instructor Prof. F. M. Gill
needs no introduction to the peo-
pie of this county. He has instruct.
ed in the Institute of this county
for three years. He has had an OK.
perience of twenty-five years in
teaching, in three states of the
Union, Ohio, his native state, Indi'
ana and Tenn. and has become
familiar with the school system o.
each state.
Prof. Gill at present holds post
ION in Maryville College which he
fills with honor to himself and tt
the Institution.
The attendance was larger thar
ever before, 102 being enrolled tn,
flrst day. Total number enrolled
1856. The average being more thar

ers and we bespeak for the. school

According to the story related by the

reason he failed to find a purchaser and
went his way westward. There was too
much suspicion as to whom the original
owner might be. A buffalo coat now
adays is worth a snug little sum and in
fact it is almost impossible to buy one at
all. Several old settlers in this city and
county wear buffalo coats. which. al
originally. could not be bought now for
any amount Of money. A business man

in every way, was offered 500 cash by
Il commercial man, but the offer was re-
fused. Some twenty years ago the coat
was purchased in the form of two rough
hides from a band of Indians for a mere
song. The hides were afterwards neatly
dressed and made into fashionable coat.
The fur is easily taken care of and will
remain sleek for years. No fur is as
warm as the buffalo and for cold. wintry
weather a coat from a buffalo skin is a
luxury indeed. 1t is in the memory of
the oldest settlers here when the Indians
used to make their annual visits from the
Western agencies to these parts for their
regular supply of "kinnikinic." which
grows IN large quantities i'll this vicinity.
The old chief of the tribe would always
accompany the band and for years made
his regular visits. He used to pitch his
