Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1908-07-30

Well, Bro, Joe HackwOfth your ar
tiole was up'to-date. all wool and a |
yard wide All the readers OF the
News will endorse your letter They |
all understand the kind Of preachers |
you and were striking ut. We had |
reference 10 the peace'brcaker, the |
trouble agitater, the money lover, the |
money. hunters and a few lady. fanciers |
that pass through our country now and |
then. and later on IL turns up that no
has fooled SOME young lady OF good |
family and has living wife and child. |
rem Just over the mountain. Such IL
the past history up here. We can cite
the debater 20 the proof and facts IL
called on. These are the kind of So
called preachers that we were after.
The jury Of investigation Of the dead
infant found in the river IL now on
and has been in session several days.
The proof of any Importance in this
case is kept intirely secret from the
reading public and Is taken behind
closed doors. We are informed that
parties accused of this dirty crime are
parties that represent themselves to
appear in high circles among both
church and lodges. II trle as reported
on certain parties, ii will no doubt,
be an eye-opener TO the upper end Of
Marion county. | think the Coroner
and p. H. Thatch and j. w Morrison
are doing their duty and close on the
right trail.
We are very sorry, indeed, to hear of
the death of John Holloway at Whit
well. John was good man, liked by
all that knew him. He was laid to
rest at the Pickett graveyard by his
first wife, who died some few years
ago A large crowd attended his bur-
! ial. He had no enemies at all, but
friends. We tender our sympathy to
the bereaved family and can truthful
ly say the country lost one good boy
that we can't soon forget.
} The picnic at Burnett's Chapel was
moved one mile above the chapel to
catch the upper end of the county, but
owing to an article that appeared over
the signature of some one of the com
munity who signed his name, "Citi-
zen" that the picnic would be compOs-
[ ed of the better element Of the people
. at the grove and under no considera-
. tion would put any man on the pro-
gram who tolerated dancing, either in
. public or at their own home, "A number
of the customers and speakers took it
/ for granted that it was picked party

money. This picnic was to raise funds
S to pay balance due ON organ. The
s church or Sunday school will reap but
little benefit from this worldly institu-
ton. There was message sent to
Whitwell and New Hope and everybody
that ever had had musical enter
d tainment at their homes played hands
: off.
a Now comes the hardest fight ever
fought in the history of our county
over the two school factions that are
u now installed and inaugurated between
3 Hickory Grove and Hicks Chapel as
0 to where the public school shall be
&c taught this fall The petition shows
:, four to one for the school to open at
> Hicks Chapel, while the Board is de-
u termined on said school at Hickory
= Grove. The patrons of this school dis
" trict have inaugurated general strike
), and won patroniZe the Hickory Grove
school day, and there has been a
representative, who has been to Nash
10 vile, to consult the state superintend-
W ent on harmoniZing these two contest
l. ing factions and to try to get the
is school centralized somewhere near the
centre of district This cut some ice
in the picnic here Saturday The
= board of education now has up to them
n one of the hardest problems ever pre-
sented to them in the history of the
,t country today. They are hauling lum-
- Der to repair Hicks Chapel and declare
- they will have the school here the
u majority wants it, or they will not
re send at all | say let the majority
n rule in all matters pertaining to the
N welfare of the general public and tbs
money that belongs to the tax payers
of any one given district be turned
70 over to them. This public school ques
to ton before it comes to an end will test
who has the greatest influence among
ID tire people up here.
