The Old Court House.

Many Of our older readers will rec
ognize the old building at glance
at the cut printed above, but to the
younger ones it will not be so familiar.
Blount County was organized in the
year 1879 and according to the Act
Of Legislature. the first court was to
be held at the residence of Abram
Wear, or Weaver. None of our cit
liens, so far as we can find know where
any man by either of these names. lived
near MarYvllle. Afterwards a log
court house was built, which we be-
leive stood IN the same place now oc-
cupled by the present fine brick
structure.
At the January term 1889, the court
having decided that the old log house
was not modern enough, special tax
was levied for the building of the
house presented above and the "Com-
missioners of the Court House" were
ordered to sell the old house on a
credit of twelve months by taking
bond with good security.
During that year court was held al
different places, sometimes at residen.
ces, Others at the Theological In
stitute." January IS4o the first court
was held in the abo 1e building.
We present the picture of this ole
building to our readers as matter OF
historical interest. There was only
one picture in existance and that is il
the possession of Maj. Will A. Nc
Teer. This cut was made from tha
picture. Those who are historical,
inclined should preserve this paper.
The following is some history givel
by Maj. Will A. McTeer, in regard t
this old building. You will find iii

A Close Call.

Last night about 7:30 o'clock a
kerosene lamp was overturned in
the tailor shop of w. H. Byrd &
Co. and exploded. The burning
oil was thrown over the garments
nearby, and a confagration seemed
inevitable. Prompt action, how
ever, in throwing the lamp into
the street and in smothering the
fire with wet blankets saved Ard
more from another destructive fire.
The usual crowd gathered to the
place of excitement, and Uncle
Tom Parker soon took advantage
of the occasion to invite the people
to remain for the auction.
The damage to clothing was
quite light.

ANYONE with the evil memory
of the Bourgogne disaster in his
mind may find consolation In read
ing the brave story OF the British
ship Vedamore in her rescue of the
crew of the sinking Londonian.
The Vedamore stood by two days
and two nights, launched boat af-
ter boat, in a terrible sea, and
finally being unable to get boat
aboard after hours of efforts, got
line to the LondOnian by means of
life buoys, and then rigging one of
the Vedamore's boats as life car,
succeeded in passing twenty-five
of the LOndonian's nearly frozen
and utterly exhausted men to the
deck of the Vedamore. Twenty
three more of the Londonian's S peo-
pie reached the EedamOre in one
of their own boats, which was lost
as soon as it was emptied. The
courage, humanity and sailOrly
skill of the crew of the Vedamore
should be remembered as long as
the cruelty, cowardice and inca
pacity of the Bourgogne's crew
survive in the public mind.
