Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1906-11-29
Introductory.

menu OF MRS. Grundy, we WISH
to say that to the best of our
ability, we will give each week
a correct report of the "happen-
ings" of our town. Pass our i'm
projections by and don't view
our ruminatings with a critics
eye for we are but human and
liable to err. Should your moth
er-in-law come to make you a
months visit or "Ceny, the good
old COW, shuttle off this mortal
coil, just telephone 1862 or drop
a notice in Box 5, Coalmont, and
we will do the rest.
Never before have prospects
been SO bright at Coalmont as
now. Work along all lines is
progressing nicely and all who
come here to work can secure a
job. The new ovens are not all
burning because of a scarcity of
slack occasioned by a lack of
miners to dig the coal. We
don't want to appear egotistical,
but we have at Coalmont, the
best class Of miners to be found
at any coal camp in the state,
nice, peaceful, practical miners,
living yet in the bonds of union
and enjoying the fruits of honest
toll. Fifty or one-hundred more
practical miners to dig coal
would be welcomed.
The death of John Godby cast
a gloom over our entire camp.
Having just arrived at manhood,
fine, portly young man with a
young wife, it was extremely
sad that his young life should be
crushed out in an instant. John
was an inexperienced miner,
having been a mule driver dur
ing most CT his five years service
for this company. We learn
that his death was caused by his
failing to set sufficient props n
his room, possibly not recogniz.
ing the bad condition of the top.
Goods will be done, not oursi'
