Distinct Compliment
to Nashville Banker

Mr.. F. o. Watts, president Of
the First National Bank, leaves to-
night for New York where he goes
to attend the meeting Of the Advi-
sorry Committee of the American
Bankers Association, which meets
there Monday. This committee is
composed of only FIVE members,
who are the President of the Amer
ican Bankers Association, Chair
man of the Executive Council, F.
II. Curtis, Cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Boston; Clay H. Hol-
lister, Cashier of the Old National
Bank, Grand Rapids, Mich; and F.
O. Watts, President of the First
National Bank of Nashville. This
committee has complete charge OF
the affairs of the ASSOCIATION be-
tween meetings OF the executive
council, which are held only twice
a year. 1t was distinct compli-
nent to Mr.. Watts and the bankers
of the South that he was selected
on such an important committee to
be one of only three from the whole
association. The meeting of the
committee has been called at this
time in order that it might act on
some important matters that have
come before the association and
also that it might be present at the
annual dinner of the New York
Bankers Association at the Wal
dorff-Astoria Monday evening. Mr..
Watts will return as soon as the
committee finishes it's work. Nash

NEW SPRING FASHIONS.

The Butterfly Jacket, Shirt Waists

There are many attractive nov
elites among the spring fashions

little coats are extremely smart.

NEW FASHIONS IN SHIRT WAISTS.
One Of the most interesting
features of the shirt waists that

summer is the introduction of
striped materials. Some very
pretty woven and printed cottons,

striped goods of all sorts.

is hanged, not because hanging is good

HICKORY TREE HIS MONUMENT.
1t Marks the Grave of an Ardent Adj
mrer of Andrew Jackson.

In the Baptist graveyard at Canton
lies the body of an old revolutionary
soldier named James Sayres, A rude,
unlettered sandstone marks his grave,
but more conspicuous monument is
a large hickory tree the trunk of
which, three feet from the ground,
measures 511a inches in circumfer-
ence.
James Sayres was an ardent admir-
er of Andrew Jackson, so often called
"Old Hickory" from the character of
being so unbending in any cause
which he believed to be right
Mr. Sayres always wore a sprig of
hickory on his breast ON training
days and before he died directed
that hickory tree be planted on his
grave. This was done, and after the
tree attained proportions deemed UNI
suitable TO adorn a grave it was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was
also dug up.
When a third tree appeared, with a
persistency in a good cause worthy of
emulation, relatives of the deceased
directed that it be not disturbed.
Hence the tree of large proportions
that annually showers its nuts over
the grave of the admirer OF "Old Hick-

WHO BURNED CITY OF MOSCOW?
Confession of the lncendiary as Sequel

Russia have for more than a century
been trying to discover whose hand it
was which applied the torch to Mos
COW or gave the order for the contla-

Post. At the time Count Theodore
Rostopchine was said to have been the
incendiary. In 1923, however, he pub
corning the Great Fire of Moscow" in
which the blame was laid at the door
of French soldiers made mad with vod-
ka. Now, however, the granddaughter
OF the goVernor-general, Countess
Lydie Rostopchine, in a biography of
her grandfather, substantiates the
original charge against hi mand says
his denial was due to influence exert
ed over him by his beautiful wife.
Just before the city was taken he
had sent her to distant province for
safety and on the evacuation by the
French he had implored her to come
back Ito husband who worships you
and who respects you beyond all 9th
ers." AT the time the count was AZ
and the countess So In his le.ters to
her he had frankly admitted that he
had given orders to fire the city.
When he was accused of the deed by
the French officers she implored him
to deny the accusation. The secret
might have been buried with him but
for a subsequent discovery that his
wife had repudiated the orthodox re-
ligion and had become Roman Cath
Ollie. He became embittered and mo-
rose under the shock, cut her off in
his will and left sealed package con-
tanning the truth about the Moscow
fire only to be opened and made public
a century after the date of his mar
riage. This duty has fallen to Count
ess Lydie Rostopchine to carry out.
