An Open Sewer

Editor News The town councils
attention has been called frequently
through the columns of your paper
and otherwise, to unsanitary condi-
tions existing on Tazewell Avenue,
the most thickly populated residence
section of the town, but little has
been done, so far, to remedy existing
evils. ] call attention again, to the
foul condition of the branch running
the entire length of this Avenue. a
number of sewer pipes empty into
this small stream, but most of the
time the volume of water is INSULT
cient to carry off the refuse, and all
along this stream the stencil is notice
able. AT the corner of Will Ed Peery s.
residence, where sewerage empties,
there is a very disagreeable odor.
Anyone passing notices it. Strangers
hold their noses as they pass, and ask,
What's dead around herc?" The
physicians all say that this ditch is a
serious menace to the health of the
town. This branch is the drinking
place of large number of milk COWS,
and as milk is about 90 per cent
water, the result is easily imagined.
This condition should be remedied.
This ditch should be piped and cover
ed at any cost. A few cases of ty-
phoid fever, doctors bills, trained
nurse and drug bills, would go far
towards paying the expense. Assess
taxes, raise the money and put the
town in a decent, wholesome condi-
tion. Every resident on the Avenue,
as well as every resident in town, is
interested. This is much more impor-
tant than sidewalks or street paving.
Better mud than sickness or epidem-
les We are in fair way to remain 9
residence town only forever, and
should be such in reality. AS it is,
Tazewell lacks leagues of miles OF
being an ideal residence town. We
haven't even decent drinking water.
| Respectfully,
TAX PAYER.

Sore on Bryan

Mr.. r. H. Williams, a prominent
business man and leading Democrat of
Louisiana, Missouri, was in town this
week on business, and called at this
office. Mr.. Williams is and has been
for years, close, personal friend of
Speaker Clark, and did all he could
to promote his candidacy for the nomi-
nation at Baltimore. He says that
Clark is the idol of the Missouri peo
pie, and is prepared to SHOW" you
if you demand proof, at any time, day
or night. He further states, however,
that Missouri people are very sore
toward Mr.. Bryan. They charge him
with Clark's defeat at Baltimore. and
for the present. at least, the Missou-
rians do not want any of Bryan in
theirs. They concede to Mr.. Bryan
sincerity, etc., but think he should
have stuck to Clark. MIR. Williams
said that the State is solid for Wilson,
nevertheless, and will not take "their
spite out" on the Democratic candi-
date for the presidency.

SCHOOL OPENS;;
LARGE ATTENDANCE
The Professional Kicker" Of
fered Little Opportunity for
His Trade This Year.

The Tazewell High School opened
on Monday with the largest attend
ance in its history. In the grades and
High School together there are al
ready enrolled about 275 pupils.
Everything is moving on nicely. The
faculty of eleven teachers, is stror !,
one. The names of the teachers are
al follows:
Prof. w. w. Carson, Principal.
Miss Todd, FIRST Grade
Miss Johnson, Second Grade
Miss Davidson, Fourth Grade
Miss Harman, Fifth Grade
Miss Conn, Sixth Grade,
Miss Mcpherson, Seventh Grade.
High School-Prof. Carson, Miss
Coulling. Miss Turk.
Miss Jackson. Music
Miss Crockett, Art.
Of these, four are new teachers,
viz: Misses Johnson. Todd, Conn and
Mcpherson.
Material or cause for kicking"
is not easily found in connection with
the school this year. Of course the
school book question is fruitful
source. but MIR. Carson states that no
changes are made this year, and hence
there is no kick comm here except
that few new books have to be pur-
chased, and this is disagreeable job.
And then, it is charged, or has been
charged, that the teachers were al
ways given preference who belonged
to certain church, and this was a
fruitful source of criticism. but IA
little Investigation shows that there
is nothin' doin' along that line. The
teachers, denominatonally, are dis
tributed about as follows: Methodist,
2; Presbyterian, 2; Baptist. 2; Chris
tian. 2; Lutheran, l. Episcopalian,
1. So, there is only one thing left to
hang ON to, viz: The school authori-
ties have passed law prohibiting the
children going to the post office.
Why? The children are not such niu-
sances as to pollute the post office
They should be allowed to call for
their parents mail. Now, forbid them
going OH the street. Confine them to
the ample school grounds. That ought
to he sufficient. So, thera is always
something to ''kick" about, if one
wants to kick.
