Ever since the opening the grove around

ance of a camp meeting GROUND The
rush became so great that on the third
day Bill COnger declared he must have
some help; that he had worked both night
and day and the end of the procession OF
thirsty ones was not yet in sight. So
Bill employed Jack Cunningham as bar
tender.
The mountain knob upon which the
oasis is situated is a barren hill,
adorned with a scrubby underground and
few scraggy trees. Not a soul lived
within a ten-mile area until Bill Conger
built his log cabin saloon. The nearest
railroad is at this city, Is miles distant.
This railroad is a branch of the Nash

runs from Tullahoma to Ravenscroft.

other directions are contemplated and
will soon be in operation.
With a hearty smile overspreading his
good-natured face Conger remarked to

M'MINNVILLE. Tenn. July Mot
withstanding the statewide prohibition
law went into effect on Thursday, this
good old commonwealth is not altogether
dry, by any means. There are left a
number of legal distilleries and one legal
saloon. Morning 'toddie" are, therefore,
still possible.
Tennessee's prohibition law is a pecu1-
iarly constructed statute. 1t provided
that on July l. 1909, every saloon located
within four miles of a school house must
close its doors and that therefore, no
whisky should be sold within the four
mile limit. This law permits the distil-
leries to operate until January /, 1910.
The solitary saloon, which can and does
operate under the law, is located on a
small knoo OF the Cumberland range OF
mountains. about is miles southeast Of
this city and is famed as the Tennessee
Oasis
BILL CONGER's LoOPHoLE.
Bill Conger, of McMinnville, is the
proprietor. Bill has been in the whisky
business for an even twenty years. When
1t became apparent that the legislature
was certain to pass prohibition measure,
Bill was worried. but when the law was
adopted and he had read it carefully, he
saw d lOOpnOle.
Without confiding his plans to a single
human being, not even his wife. Bill
quietly began leasing up all of the land
within five miles of the summit Of the
knob. With the last lease properly exc
cuted he erected a log cabin on the pin
nacle Of the little mountain and stocked
1t with many barrels of whisky.
1t was then that Bill announced his
purpose, He issued a proclamation, so
to- speak, and had it printed on dodgers
and distributed the country over for
miles around. In this proclamation Bill
announced that on June 18th he would
throw open the doors of the Tennessee
Oasis and would supply booze in any
quantity desired. He explained that hiS
business would be perfectly legal; that
there was not a school house within four
miles of HIS cabin; that he had leased the
land for five miles in every direction.
and would allow no school houses there
on; that in order to put him out of bust
ness the legislature would have TO amend

Fate Open a New Account With Quaint
ance-At the Night and Day Bank.
On a crisp winters afternoon the
gardens Of Madison Square were all
bedecked in white, as If for a bridal.
Frost and snow and sunshine together
had turned the drab park into fairy
land, or so thought Quaintance, at any
rate, as he stepped out into the pillared
porch of the Fifth avenue hotel, his
wife on his arm. They paused for a
moment to look thankfully out at the
scene there, and then, crossing Broad
way carefully turned up Fifth avenue,
in haste because of the cold.
Only an hour ago they had stepped
ashore from the steamer which had
brought them over from France and,
even on the voyage across, they had not,
somehow. succeeded in shaking off the
remembrance of all they had undergone
there. But now, at last they could real
ize that their troubles were at an end,
could turn their backs on that nightmare
past.
The murder of the Due des Reeves had
made a nine days sensation in Paris.
The trial on that capital charge, of Sea-
ger and Arendsen, provided the papers
with scare-headlines for a full month,
but, when all the formalities of the law
had been fulfilled and the two sent to the
galleys to expiate there the crime they
had not contemplated, the public drew a
deep breath of relief.
And the Due des Reeves, Vicomte Aigle-

also held to have met with his due de-
