People of This Town Should
Show Some Interest.
T.&N.C. OFFICIALS TO COME
Will Hold a Meeting Here Soon
to Consider Report Which Has
Been Made by Supt. A. J. Nc
Mahan in Reference to Posi-
bilities at Seviervillie.

Superintendent A. j: McMahan of
the Tennessee and North Carolina
railroad is back from trip through
the route of the proposed extension of
the Tennessee and North Carolina
railroad from Wilton to Sepierville, and
is prepared to make report to the
officials of his company on the pros
poets.
He was accompanied on his trip by
Judge Green, Hugh M. Taylor and
Dave Burke. They found the country
an easy one to enter and the line of the
proposed road would be easy to con-
struct.
An incident of the trip was the dis
covery of coon In tree at $3.50 a. M,
which was captured and taken to
Sevierville where it was presented to
Bill Montgomery of the Sevierville
Vindicator.
1t is stated that a meeting of the
stockholders and officials Of the Tenn
essee and North Carolina railroad will
be held here some time toward the lat
ter part of the month for the purpose
O. considering the reports of the super
inter dent and also to discuss the possi-
bilities Of through line from Knox
vile to the East, connecting with the
Louisville and Nashville railroad at
Knoxville and the Seaboard in North
Carolina.
Mr.. McMahan has not issued any
statement In reference to the wealth of
the resources of the country he has in
vestigsted. He was royalty entertain
ed at Canton and was shown statistics,
it is said, which will give some idea of
the future business to be expected.
A leading citizen of Newport sug-
gests that the people of this town get
together, form some sort of resolutions
and assurances OF support, If the road
should come this way, and it is shown
that Newport will be hurt instead of
benefited by the new road, unless the
course of it's survey can be altered
so as to come into Newport and not
miss the town miles, and result in a
switchback into the Newport junction
station.
Newport should be the main town
on the line between Knoxville and the
Seaboard, and it will depend almost
wholly on the citizens whether this
town is recognized, as no railroad COM
pany would change it's line of survey
unless it was encouraged by the people
of town.
If Newport wants the railroad, this
citizen suggests that 1t is high time
that something is said and done in
reference to it, and the facts should be
in such shape when the stockholders
have their meeting, that they could
properly be presented TO the railroad
officials.

THE HOG SERENE.

n Consider for moment the hog,
/ The hog Is natures sedative. He Is
he antithesis of excitement and the

nerves cry out In protest, and the
| tired brain aches with a surfeit of
| care or pleasure, go then to the
humble pig sty and learn lesson
Of repose. What does the farmer do
wien the hired man gives notice, or
grasshoppers threaten to take the
upper eighty? He heads for the hog
lot; and, with his elbows on the top
rail and one foot in an intermediate
crack, he watches the swine at their
evening meal till his soul finds peace.

EASY TO MAKE CANDIED PEEL
Delicious CONNECTION Prepared at
Home Far Better Than Can
Be Bought.

Orange skins generally considered
useless1 can be used in two WAYS that
VIII give much pleasure. Any girl
who wants to have something little
out OF the common for a luncheon
party, or who wants TO make very
small gift, but one that shows some
real work Of her own. can accomplish
either object by making candled
orange peel. Not by buying 1t at the
confectioner's, where plenty of II is
sold, but by doing 1t herself. The
candied orange peel made at home
and used while fresh is so far su-
perior to that one can buy that 1t
seems like quite another thing.
Ii can be made of the skin OF an
orange that has been peeled and used
In any way, but rather smooth skin
should be chosen sand 1t must be used
before 1t becomes at all hard and dry
The first thing to do is to scrape off
with knife as much as possible of
the white inner skin. Keep on scrap
Ing until the skin la quite thin and
the back shows the yellow. Then cut
the pieces Of skin into strips one quar-
ter OF an inch wide and from one and
a half to two inches long.
Now comes the cooking, which Is
done in the following manner: In a
small saucepan full of water dissolve.
three tablespoonfuls OF sugar and put
In your strips Of peel. Boil them un.
I'LL the water boils away. leaving
thick syrup. During the latter part OF
this process II must be carefully
watched and stirred to prevent burn
ing, Next take the peel from the
saucepan and roll 1t In powdered
sugar; then put the pieces on plates to
dry, not piled UP, but In single layers.
The orange peel Is best on the first or
second day after 1t iE made. and II
must be used within week or 1t will

New Waltz Popular In Resorts,

est thing in the fashionable seashore
resorts. It was originated recently by
the National Academy of Dancing In
Paris and imported quickly for the en-
tertainment Of the young persons who
crowd the seashore hotels. 1t Is dane
ed to waltz time. bat the music is slow
"a sort OF lullaby. 1t was tried in
Atlantic City and became popular i'm
mediately. In Long Branch. Seabright
and on Long Beach it has been taken
up, and the young folk are having
much fun trying to learn the odd
steps. The orchestras find 1t difficult
to get the time accurate, but once the
dancers get the spirit of the music they
are able to dance the new step without
difficulty.

A Surprise For Horace Greeley.
In the early days of the suffragist
movement Miss Susan b. Anthony
had no more bitter opponent than
Horace Greeley. 1t was for long

bates with the conclusive remark,

When the New York constitution
was being altered In 1867 Miss An
thony laid train for him. She wrote
to Mrs Greeley and persuaded the
editors wife not only to sign petit
ton for woman's suffrage herself, but
to circulate the paper and get 300
signatures among her acquaintance.
In the committee Mr.. Greeley. who
was chairman. had listened to the de-
bate and prepared to introduce to the
convention an adverse report. He was
Just about to utter his usual settler
when George William Curtis rose.
'Mr. Chairman" said he. Il hold in
my hand petition for suffrage signed
by 300 women of Westchester, headed
by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
The chairman's embarrassment could
hardly be controlled. He had found
at least one of 'the best women I
know wanted to vote. but he re-
venged himself later upon the leaders
by scathing editorials.
