and was buried with military honors
Saturday at G o'clock. Maj w. W.

Adiutant L. NJ. Pattison also died at
the Leavenworth home Friday, having
been taken sick only the Wednesday

most important in the home. He keeps
track Of all the members and every de-
tail comes from his Office. 1t is a hard
place to fill.

miles from the city of Leavenworth
and consists Of whole section of GAO
acres of land, which cost $50, 900 and
was donated by the citizens of that

A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY
For Our People to Help the Town and
Benefit Themselves.

A meeting of the Board of Trade was
held Wednesday night to consider and
devise ways and means to secure the
holding in this city, in June 1905, of
the annual meeting of the German Bap-
fist Church of the United States.
Mr.. d. f. Bowman was present to
represent the East Tennessee confer
ence of the Church, and stated what
requirements would be necessary to
secure the meeting for this city. 1t
will require a guaranty fund of about
$15OO.O0 to put up necessary buildings
and equipments-a very inconsiderate
amount, when the vast benefit that is
certain to accrue to the town is taken
into consideration.
These meetings differ from those of
all other denominations, always being
held in rough, temporary structures.
The principal buildings required will
be a tabernacle, 2OOx250 feet; dining
hall, 50x1OO feet kitchen, 4Ox50 feet,
and seven smaller buildings, all built
of rough boards and cheaply put up.
The guaranty fund is used to put up
these buildings.
The benefits which the town and
county will derive from this meeting
are almost incalculable 1t will con-
tinue six days and will bring into the
town from 5000 to 1000 people. There
are 700 to 1000 delegates and several
thousand members from all the states
of the Union, besides hundreds from
nearby states on daily excursions. A
vast majority of the delegates and
members from distance will be here
the entire six days. These people will
have to be lodged by our citizens and
will pay 25 cents per night each. This
will not include meals, as nearly all the
visitors will be fed on the grounds by
O committee of the denomination itself.
Most of the supplies will be bought in
johnson City, and in this way alone
thousands of dollars will be spent here,
to say nothing of the amount spent for
incidentals.
These Garman Baptists are almost
exclusively farm and the very best
farmers in all the country-an among
the very best class of citizens. IT is
highly probable that many of them can
be induced to locate here; at any rate
this will be a splendid opportunity tc
advertise our section among a class OF
people whom we need very badly, and
no effort should be spared that will
help to secure the meeting.
A committee, consisting Of J. E.
Brading, S. Fl. Pouder and George T
Wofford, has been appointed by the
board of trade to cooperate with 9
committee appointed by the mayor con
sisting of p. Fl. Wotford, j. H. Pearct
and j. T. Linville, to solicit the bust
ness men and citizens generally fol
subscriptions to the guaranty fund
This is a chance for our city tina
comes but rarely. Other towns arr
after this meeting and will try hard t.
get it, Our people should get together
and join in united and determined
effort to secure the meeting.
