Cookeville camp No. 12248, M. w. A.
held very interesting meeting Tues
day night, Dec. 10th, although the num-
bers of neighbors in attendance was
not very large. Consul G. D. Judd pre-
sided over the deliberations.
The Camps faithful old "Billy Goat"
had to be led out as there was strang-
er on hand who sought position into
the camps. The intruder was taken in
and as he proved worthy was adopted.
1t looks as though camp with the
membership that Cookeville has ought
to have larger attendance than has
been the rule of late. The majority Of
the membership live inside the corpor-
alton limits Of Cookeville and should
be more regular in attendance so as to
keep up with the proceedings of the
camp and the society in general. Let
this jog your memory that every Tues
day night the latch string is out and
that it is your duty to attend the meet
ings.
Let the camp be honored with your
presence at'the next meeting, Tuesday
night Jan. End, 1912.

We have heard some favorable and
some adverse criticism on the article
In last weeks paper under the cap
ton Much Confusion" The article
was written with admonition to act
conservatively during the present
fluctuations in real estate prices. We
had in mind the lack of uniform pric-
es where all conditions were equal
This in itself would indicate a des-
crepancy somewhere, naturally result
ing in a confusion of real values. 1t
is compliment to the town and sur
rounding country to experience a rise
in the tide of land values, and these
values will stand at a much higher
mark than ever before, but we still
maintain that limit can and will be
reached, as is invariably the case any
where else on earth. We have in
mind a certain piece of Hickman
property which is altogether over
priced. No man of business sense
would buy IL, because other property
can be bought for less which is just
as good. and he knows this would not
pay per cent on the purchase price,
TO say nothing of depreciation. II
would be well for the town IL it
could be reasonably bought and i'm
proved. But no. The owner will not
Others cannot. And our point is
that this piece of property would be
poor measure for the value of prop
erty around it because none of il
would ever have a buyer Result
The town is held back in improve
ments because of inflated prices and
confusion of values. And is any.
one any better off in dollars and
cents?

A Mean Advantage.

In breach of promise case the bar
rister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be we'll under the observation
of the jury. He began a most pathetic
appeal by directing their attention to
her beauty and calling for justice upon
the head OF him who could wound the
heart and betray the confidence of one
so fair. concluding with a peroration
of such pathos as to melt the court
to tears. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT then rose. and after paying
the lady the compliment of admitting
that it was impossible not to assent
to the encomiums lavished upon her
face he added that nevertheless he
felt bound to ask the jury not to for
get that she wore a wooden leg. Then
he sat down. The important fact of
which the fair plaintiffs counsel was
unaware was presently established,
and the jury. feeling rather sheepish
at their tears, assessed damages at
the smallest amount

The American Babv.

The American baby has a fine,
strong ancestry. The young men of
England who were impatient of reli-
gious restraint and of physical oppres-
sion: the young men of Germany
touched with the dream of democracy;
the pick of northern Europe. the
strong. the fair. the self reliant. the
conscientious English at bottom. but
with dash of the best blood of other
races-this is the American baby, and
no king and no lord ever had better
heritage Take it as it goes. in Mas
sachusetts. in Ohio. in Michigan. in
Washington. in California, the average
American baby has in its veins more
of the blood of the Plantagenets than
any king now living has. 1t was his
fortune to have come from the daugh-
ter lines and the lines of the younger
sons, not from the elder son. whom
British custom has marked for the
aristocrat.-David Starr Jordan.
