which the beds could lay. These
bedsteads did not require a acord.
Tables were made of square posts
with plank nailed or pegged to
the sides and on top. Almost
any kind Of carpenter could make
the kind of furniture used in
those days, excepting chairs. 1t
took a regular chair-maker to
put up a good chair. Hickory
bark, white oak splits or raw
cowhide were used to bottom
chairs, and while they were rough
and did not look at all nice, they
lasted twice as long as chairs we
use today. We had the armchair,
with and without rockers, the
sitting-room chair, dining-room
chair, the baby chair, stools and
benches.
Our lights at night were dipped
tallow candles, or large iron
spoons or ladels. The women
would double and twist some
twelve or sixteen strands Of home
spun cotton thread, and make
what they called a candle wick.
They would have vessel OF
warm tallow ready and this wick
would be dipped into the tallow,
which would adhere to the wick,
By holding it in the air until the
tallow on the wick had cooled
and repeating the dipping and
cooling process, they would soon
have candle large enough to
stand erect and be ready for use.
In the absence of candlestick

inches square and one.,and a half
or two inches thick, with a hole
in the center for the candle to
rest in, was used as a substitute
Later on, we got the tin moulds
to mould candles in, and what an
Improvement on the candle maxi
ing business it was, as we
thought. One pair of moulds
would supply four or five families,
for people loaned their neigh :
bors everything they had those
days. When there was no tallow
about the place, a large iron
spoon or ladle was stuck in
crack in the wall of the house
and filled with warm grease. A
small piece of cloth, twisted into
a cord some three or four inches
long, was put into this grease,
with one end laying OH the edge
of the spoon, and the cord lighted.
This made a dim light in the
room. Sometimes we would use
rich pineknots in the fireplace,
and pine torch to carry about
the house for light.
~
In the summer time the fire
frequently went out, and if there
happened to be no male person
about the house to strike fire with
his flint and steel, or put some
powder and cotton on the pan of
h gun flintlock and get fire in
that way, the women would take
a copperas colored thread, a
couple of yards long, and tie one
end of the thread to the wheel
spindle, and turn the wheel
rapidly. The friction at the end
of the spindle, caused dy turning
the wheel so fast, would set this
thread on fire, and from it a fire
would be started. This we called
spinning fire.
Some time in the year 1S47, OF
1S48, John Vaughn and wife and
their son, William Vaughn, his
family, and DR.. Lowe and family

Quarantine Laws.

The code prescribes that an il.
legal quarantine can not be enforc-
ed and should not obeyed. Shot
gun quarantine and the quaran-
tines of every town in Tennessee
are without authority and illegal,
except cities of 5000 or more.
All municipal boards receive their
authority to quarantine from coun-
ty boards, and all county boards re-
ceive their authority from the State
Board. The state boards has put
on quarantine for West Tennes-
see and Hamilton County. They
have established train inspection
as near thorough as is practical to
make it. They have the assistance
of the M. H. S.. and have been as
sured that their help will be increas-
ed. Their rules have been published
and are we'll known. All local
Boards OF Health are requested to
cooperate with them in their en-
forcement. All failures and re-
fusals to comply with these are
classed as misdemeanors. (Shan-
mons Code, page 697, See 3ll6.)
Only two county boards have re-
quested the State to prescribe any
additional rules than those adopted
and now being enforced, Madison
and Obion. All other local quaran-
tines that have been put on, both
county and municipal, except Mem
phis and Jackson, are illegal, inva-

being done in the city than has
been done here since 1891.
|, for one, am ready to believe
that this is attributable largely to
reduced taxation in the city. If
the tax rate is high we have seen
that personal property hides its
head or moves its domicile outside
the corporate limits and people will
not locate here as freely to educate
their children. Then can we OBJ
tain this great necessity without
raising the taxes materially or
doing worse, putting a second mort
gage on the real estate of the city
issuing more bonds.
At the present tax rate with or
binary expenditures, as they have
been for four years past there
should be not less than $1,000 sur
plus each year for the next four
years-starting November /, 1905.
If then, starting with the new
year, plans should be laid for a
main sewer running from north to
south along the big ditch or slough.
laid out by a good engineer, big
enough for all purposes, the town
should be able to build it within /
short time from its surplus, that
otherwise would be FILTERED out
and largely wasted.
When this main sewer has been
laid the people along the line on
both sides will begin to lead into it.
Neighborhoods and localities will
club together and if all work to-
gether and use the same economy
that man of limited means uses
in his business we will all be sur
prised that it was done so easily
and that the cost scarcely felt.

Mayor Walker to the Board.

GENTLEMEN: When it is consid-
cred how much money has been
spent by the city within the last
four years for purposes IN no wise
connected with the ordinary ex-
penses of the city government, it
appears that by practicing the same
rigid economy in the future that
has been adhered to in the time
mentioned the people of the city
could begin to look to system OF
sewerage that is SO badly needed
here, without, at the same time,
looking for an increased tax rate,
or an addition to the already bur
densome bonded debt now on the
city.
would not have it appear that
am ready to go into this matter
hastily. have thought about it
much and earnestly and am pre-
pared to state to you and the tax
payers that it is clear to me how
the city within few years can
have the ground work of a good |
sewerage system laid and scarcely |
feel the cost.
1t appears from the nature of the
ground and from the observations
of engineers who have looked the
field over that there is no suitable
place to empty the sewers this side
of Obion river. In my opinion,
while it is big thing for the city
to engage in building sewers along
right lines, the biggest problem
connected with the undertaking is
the landing of the sewers within
reasonable distance from the city
limits. s
We all know there is more build |
ing and rebuilding OF houses nov !
