families i'll Obion County, being a
granddaughter of the late John f.

ton, and possessing those traits of
character which win the respect
and admiration of all who know
her, Miss Nellie has many friends
and admirers. She received the
most of her education in the Rives
Graded School, receiving a State
diploma i'll 81. Besides Complet-
ing the 9Th grade, she took two
years in Latin, and French litera-

the Rives school have elected her as
sistant teacher for the present
school year; position which,
while a responsible one, her
friends feel sure she will fill with
credit, both to herself ard the

Mayor Hayes and City Solicitor Carter
strongly urged the passage of the resolu-
ton. as the ordinance authorizing the pay
ment of the bonds and the acceptance of
new mortgage from the railroad company
at a lower rate of interest provided for an
extinguishment OF the city's lien on the
railroad for the maturing bonds. The lien
for defaulted interest could, 1t Is said.
still have been maintained, but 1t was felt
that the city could not afford to lose the
lien arising under the mortgage, as II
might endanger its position OF control of
the situation so far as action by the city
was concerned in the event a sale OF the
property under foreclosure proceedings
was desired. At the request Of the mayor.
Mr. Carter gave the subject careful con-
sideration and sent a lengthy opinion rec
ommending the abandonment of the con-
templated sale OF stock and the securing OF
new legislation remedying defects in the
original ordinance. providing for the ac-
ceptance of the new mortgage at IL per
cent interest. The effect OF this plan will,
therefore. be practical extension of the
existing mortgage to some indefinite date.
