That was the end toward which Tom

On two or three occasions Cross had

At recent meeting of the Woman's
Outdoor Art League Department of
the American Civic Association, in
Chicago, J. Horace Mcfarland, Presi-
dent of the Association, delivered his
illustrated lecture on Common Trees
and Their Uncommon Flowers" He
suggested the advisability of using
fruit trees in ornamental grounds and
along country roadsides, because they
are really beautiful, and deplored the
real seldshness of emitting to plant
these trees simply because some one
else than the planter might incidentally
profit by the fruit Attention was
called to the h3me-like disposition of
the apple tree, to its beauty in spring
and Its extreme beauty while in fruit,
and to the fact that it grows under
conditions of neglect.

A controversy has started regarding
the place where John Paul Jones
body ought to rest after it is brought
to the United States. One proposal is
that it be inferred at Fredericksburg,
Va.
John Paul led the gay and easy life
of colonial country gentleman and
landed proprietor for several years at
Fredericksburg, which was his only
place of residence in this country. and
the National Cemetery there, the
scene of Burnside's disastrous defeat
by Lee, is one of the most beautiful in
the country.
The World claims him for New York
The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton wrote asking Admiral Dewey
for his opinion as to plan to bury
Jones in the grounds of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis and raise a
memorial tablet to him there. The
Admiral replied that he favored the
memorial tablet, but thought the
founder Of American naval greatness
should repose at the National Gene
terry at Arlington.
1t was assumed at first that John
Paul would be buried at Arlington,
and this still seems the proper thing to
do. Many people like to visit the
tombs of the great, and there is no
place more accessible both to Ameri-
cans and foreign visitors than Airing
ton which is near the National Capital.
Admiral Farragut, Admiral Porter,
and Admiral Sampson are buried at
Arlington, and Admiral Dewey has
bought lot there for himself.

Mr.. H. 3. Grieves is out this week
collecting the money from those who
subscribed to the fund for the benefit
of the Shirt factory which is to be
brought to Smyrna by Ralph E. Stats.
Some who subscribed have been dis
posed to withdraw their names and
others who are abundantly able to sub
scribe do not show a disposition to
give the industry support. 1t is to be
hoped that the $500 subscribed will be
raised without any trouble for all pub
lie spirited citizens should give hearty
encouragement to the new enterprise
which promises much for Smyrna.
There should be no necessity for beg
ging funds for such a purpose. The
collectors are not asking for aims.
They are asking for the hearty and
liberal support of our merchants and
business men for the establishing here
of home industry that will not only
employ home labor but will help the
business growth of the town. Smyrna
needs the encouragement and support
of its capitalists and business men and
If we are to grow and become a wide
awake and progressive town, we must
foster our home industries and offer
inducements for other industries to
locate here. Citizens who live for self
alone and grumble about the affairs of
the town or the prosperity of their
1eighbors, are to be deplored. Rather
let us compliment the man who i'm
proves his town property, who builds
up growing business or enterprise,
snssssssab9rs in the behalf of home in
dustries, who gives of his means for
the support of all good enterprises, for
of such should town be proud. Let
our citizens be more liberal hearted
and progressive; let US be wide awake
to the interests and welfare of our
town, and when that time comes,
Smyrna will rise from its state of
lethargy and progress as other towns
have done which hardly have half
the natural advantages and splendid
conveniences that we are blessed with.
The Board of Trade needs the encour-
agement and support of citizens and
we trust that this will be forthcoming.
