Competitive Drill and Supper.

The Vance Guards had their an
nual Thanksgiving supper Tuesday
night. Like all previous events OF
the kind, it was a very enjoyable at.
fair. There we're a number of invited
guests and never were orders more
cheerfully obeved than when Capt.
Sturgcs babe them "fall in" and do
valiant service behind the breast
works OF the bountifully laden table.
Preceding the supper there was Il
competitive drill for gold medal.
Second Lieutenant Payne put the
company through the manual OF
arms. Gradually the men fell out OF
ranks on some error made until only
two were left. These were Private
Joh1 T. Stone and First Sergeant
Leslie J. Prize. The contest was close
and exciting. Both are we'll drilled
men and they handled their guns in
a manner to challenge admiration.
Finally Private Stone was ruled out
on a slight error-a mere technicality
and the medal went to Sergeant
Prize. Rev. J :. Fl. Henderlite, company
chaplain, made the presentation
speech. His remarks were pointed
and appropriate and elected ap-
plause. Sergeant Pirie responded in
we'll chosen words, promising that he
would endeavor to wear the honor
becomingly and guard it we'll.
The supper was a sumptuous affair,
we'll prepared and admirably served.
One did not need to be told that
FATTY" Jones. the famous and pop
ular caterer of the company, had
been up to his old tricks again. The
menu consisted of turkey, country
ham, oysters. crackers, bread, butter,
pickles, olives, celery, coffee, oranges,
bananas, Malaga grapes. The fes-
tivities were held in the armory, the
table extending entirely across the
room, with a seating capacity of
about so persons.

The Country Paper.
M.,ryyill- (Tenn J Times.

The weekly country newspaper has
a character of its own. tsplace can
not be filed by any metropolitan
publication. 1t is the intimate friend
OF its constituents. Its angle of
visions is that OF its own community
and this it truly reflects. Broad
questions-State, national, interna-
tional--it presents and considers as
n part OF its work of information,
but these are subordinate to its own
peculiar mission. The uprising in
the Balkans, the breach in the British
Ministry, the scandals of the postal
service at Washington, are dwarfed
in actual, present Importance by the
washout on the State road or the
project for a new trolley connection.
And these, indeed, are the real living
concerns OF social life. 1t is the home
matters that make up existence, and
with these the country newspaper
deals.
We do not sufficiently recognize,
perhaps, how great an influence for
the preservation of that spirit OF
local SeiI-SOVernlneIt, WHICH Is the
foundation of our institutions, the
country press has been and is today.
It is unquestionably power and re-
tains this influence because of the
sturdy honesty of the country editor.
The country press is the ideal of indie
pendence. 1t is, as rule, unpur-
chasable and incorruptible.
The country newspaper has its
place, from which nothing can dis
lodge tho quick delivery OF metro
politan dailies, no fascinating pic
torials. And we are glad to see indi-
cations of the growth ald prosperity
of this product and aid of localenter-
prise and local pride.
