Plans are being perfected for the con-

At a meeting held recently in Brook
Iyn by representatives Of both branches
or the association this contemplated
stmalgamatiOn was the chief subject
under discussion. and the plans submit
ted met with so much favor from both
leagues that il Is probable the union
will take place within short time.
Should this be done, and II IS morally
certain that IL will. II would mean
much TO the dealer and stil more to the
consumer. one OF the chief motives c4
branches into closer touch is to bring
about lower prices for better grade
OF meat than is now being sold under
ordinary conditions.
Question Is Complicated.
To the layman the meat question is
very much complicated, because OF va
rious conceptions placed upon it by as
many self-appointed authorities. But
the fact stands that II once a standard
price could be placed upon meat and
the public could understand that II was

have been disI oSed Of.

w. c. McCoy is Gived Pardon.

Gov. Frazier has granted a
pardon to w, q. Mccoy, who has
been in the Knox County jail
since his sentence of three years
in the penitentiary was affirmed
by the Supreme Court. Mccoy
was county undertaken, and
swindled the County by fake
burials, 300 graves supposed to
contain bodies of children beng
found filed with brick bats and
the like.
The money received for the
burials was promptly paid back /,
and the county court passed q
resolution requesting that there
be no prosecution. This was
disreg garded by the Circuit Court,
and he was indicted and scntenc-
ed to three years Imprisonment.
The Supreme Court affirmed this
sentence ON an appeal.
1t was intimated that a pardon
would be granted when orders
came from the governor to not
take Mccoy to Brushy Mountain
with a number of other prisoners
who had been ordered to the
branch penitentiary. The strong
est pressure was brought to bear
on the governor to secure a par
don.

ing to the First National Bank at
Tullahoma. Parker and Lawson

claims that although he was in

was associated with Parker, he
was under the impression that
the money belonged to the for
mer cashier, and that there was
nothing criminal in his actions.
Lawson gave bond before the
United States Commissioner and
waived preliminary examination.
Lawson is one of the leading
merchants of the town.

in these United States the great

seen. Peace between the states
was established on April $, 1865.
The year 1915 will be the semi

event. 1t is customary to eele-
brate important periods in our
history by holding expositions
which demonstrate the progress
| that has been made, Great ex-
positions of this kind were held
| at Chicago in 1898 and at st.
Louis in 1904, eleven years apart.
Eleven years more will bring us
to 1915, the year Of our semi
centennial peace anniversary.
"Chattanooga is the geograph-

Holding had just emerged from
