He argued In support OF his belief
that while the democrats were gath
ering the country was being covered
with a blanket Of snow. Give us more
snow and more democracy. he said,
.'and we shall have good times In

Tennessee Landmark VIII Be Dis

The high prices paid for cedar tim

logs TO a pencil factory.
Heretofore fences, OuthOuses and
barns have been sacrificed to- the needs
Of the pencil makers, but this Is the first
noteworthy building that has been sent
10 the saWmill.
The Round Hill church was erected
somewhere between 1920 and 1925, being
a branch Of Bethbirei or Rock Greek
church, as Il was then called. Father
Hall was the founder and pastor Of both
churches in the early days Of their his
tory, continuing as pastor until there
came a split between the old school and
The new school members Of the congre-
cations.
