A Lucky Blow.

Grant Elrod of Elmo, Mo, is willing
to admit that few things irritate the
average man more than to have his hat
blown off, but an experience he had
recently convinces him that never
again will he swear when an acct
dent happens to him. He was stand
ing on the street, across from Cal
houn's store in Elmo a few days ago,
when he saw a tornado coming. Cal
houns building was considered the
strongest in the town and Elrod made
a dash for it. Just then his hat sailed
into the air. Probably from habit he
turned back to get it. A moment later
the storm struck Calhouns building.
made it wreck and killed every hu-
man being In it. If Elrod had gone on
he would have been among those who
lost their lives.-CleYeIand Plain Deal.

viii Retire From Business.

Saturday evening when Burners
Department Store closes it will not be
open again, and r. L. and B. Bruner
will have retired from the mercantile
business. For twelve years they have
conducted one of the most prominent
and prosperous general stores in the
city. They started in a modest way
and rapidly built up one of the largest
retail stores in this section and enjoyed
an immense wholesale trade. They at
tribute their phenomenal success to the
fact that they also gave absolute value
for the money. They did cash bust
ness and gave their customers the bene-
fit of the power of dollar judiciously
spent. Their retirement will be gen.
orally regretted and familiar name,
"The Racket Store" will be o matter
of history. Mr.. BTunes has not de-
cided just what he will do in the future.
He will leave next week for New York
and will then decide upon his work.
They retire from the mercantile world
with a sufficient accumulation of this
worlds goods to make the journey
down the shady side of Easy street a
pleasure trip and will haye the good
wishes of many friends en- route.

New Telephone Competitor.

The Bristol and Washington County
Telephone Company has secured an
entrance into Greeneville. A contract
to this effect was signed up during the
past week. From Greeneville they
will reach Knoxville by way of New.
port and Sevierville. This combina.
ton of independent telephone lines
will come in direct competition with
the Cumberland Telephone Company
for business between the principal
towns in East Tennessee, and it il
stated that the charges will be greatly
reduced. The Central" will be OPP
ened and ready 70 business in Greene
vile within the next two weeks. -

The Greeneville 0rphanage.

The recent meeting of the committee
at the orphanage revealed yet more
clearly the supreme call for such an
institution-it is prime necessity. 1t
is also clearly made known that Mrs.
Wiley and her co-workers are in press
ing need Of funds; to confront outstand-
ing obligations money or its equiva-
lent are in urgent demand; and to
provide the larder and wardrobe the
supply corps will find task fully up
to its ability. The Greeneville Indus
trial Home is verify a child of Provi-
dence, and we believe that the Chris
tian women having charge of the little
ones will find prompt and ample sup
port by the Holston Conference. =

Hard ct Work.

The Bristol Telephone Co. has a
large force of hands at work in differ
ent parts of the city putting its lines
in proper shape and arranging to run
cables from central about ten blocks
each way. Lead covered cables carry
ing about 200 copper wires will be used
This will practically eliminate the mass
of wires in the center of the city. The
company is working in good faith and
as rapidly as possible in order to get
the outside work done before cold
weather sets in. The service has al
ready been greatly improved and when
the new switch board is Installed there
will be no more cause for complaint.

Married In New York.

The Maryville correspondent of the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune says;
John G. Crawford, clerk and mas
ter, and another one of Maryville's
best young men, left Thursday for
Sterling Valley, N. Y, where he will
be united in marriage Sept. 90 to Miss
Maud Farnham. His bride was at one
time a student in the college in Mary
vile and as we'll as Mr.. Crawford has
hosts of friends in this city who will
join in extending to these young peo-
pie best wishes for a happy and pros
porous life together.
Miss Farnham was teacher in our
city schools two years ago and will be
pleasantly remembered by many friends
here who will join in the good wishes
being showered upon them.
