The mayor and city solicitor have
not yet decided on when to hold that
conference regarding the telephone
franchise the city wants the East
Tennessee Telephone company to
purchase. The fact is, the city Off
Gals seem to know very little about
the question, and do not understand
that the telephone company operates
under a legislative grant similar to
that of telegraph lines and such
things, and the city is merely vast
ing its time. The Gas company here
has similar grant, but pays a fran
chise tax simply because 1t is small
and keeps down agitation. The city
has been claiming the telephone COM
pany had no right to do business
here without a franchise, because
there was no councilmanic record of
anything giving the company <the
right, but the company has a grant
from the state which is perpetual,
and attorneys claim will enable it to
do business here as long as 1t wants
to without getting franchise. The
company, 1t will be recalled offered
to buy franchise few months ago,
and part of the $500 accepted by
the city as compromise was to be
in payment for it, but the legislative
boards made the terms of the fran
chise so no company would want to
operate under it, and the company
refused to bid on It. The conference
now to be held is to decide what to
do about 1t.

death, freed from the deadening in

susceptible to the tormentS Of con-
science. SO, the sensitive spirit, which
during mortal life. quickens in con-
verse with God in the beauties of ma
ture, enjoys in this life, in its love of
the beautiful, serenity of peace and
a beatitude of pleas ire, that lkens
unto Heavenly reward.
Good Taste is mental vision, clarified

Good Taste and common sense are,

it is to guide humanity onward and
upward to the All-beautiful, All-loving

GOT EVEN FOR WHIPPING,

Washington, D. c., June clarence
J. Norment, president Of the Central
National bank, Recently told how he
got even with a nan who was MS
teacher In the days of his youth. and
who .sed to WELD the birch with ire
ouency and vigor. Mr.. Norment says
that as q boy he hated this man fierce
ly. and vowed that if he ever reached
the years of manhood he would lick
him within an inch of his life.
Not long ago @ prominent lawyer en-
tered the bank and introduced to Mr..
Norment a man from the upper part
of Maryland, who wanted a favor. Mr..
Norment Immediately recognized his
old master.
Are you Mr.. Blank, who taught
school at such a place? You are? Well,
do you remember how o beat Tie for
no reason at all. just because o were
bigge-; how kept me in when !
wanted to play ball, how you wrote
notes to my father and got me more
lickings? I bet o remember every
bit. Well, I made a vow that If I ever
met you When I got to be a man I'd
whip you If ! had to go to jail for a
month. Now I am ready"
Mr.. Norment got up in a threatening
attitude, and the former teacher was
livid with fear, and the lawyer speech
less with establishment.
Then Mr.. Norment laughed and they
all understood, but the fright Mr.. Nor
n1ent gave the dominic made up for ali
his grievances.
