'B|GDYv|LLE Scene
Of ANOTHER RALLY
FOR EDUCATION
SPEAKERS GOING LIKE OLD CAM
PAiGNERs, GETTING BETTER
AS THEY GO.
LOCAL men DESERVE CREDIT
Large Attendance, Much Enthusiasm,
Ecellent Speaking, Great Dinner,
Closing With Ball Game In the
Afternoon.

The educational meeting which was
held at Bigbyyille Thursday in the
Thomas grove was only another Of the
revivals which have been in progress
throughout the county during the
week, and which closes with today's
effort at Culleoka.
The speaking which was along the
same lines which have been pursued,
was enlivened by local references,
and the speakers are doing like old
campaigners, getting better as they
go. Again Profs. Keffer and Clark
acquitted themselves in mastery
way and aroused high degree of
enthusiasm.
The local speakers, Messrs. Merton,
Duke, Graham and others, have done
themselves proud in keeping the in
terest going while they had the adj
vantage of such speakers from a dis
lance and have at no time taken any
of the glory of the occasion to them,
selves.
The occasion at Bigbyville was an
other largely attended gathering, and
there was nothing to mar the occas-
ion with the exception Of one or two
of the boys getting their hands hurt
in the ball game between Bighyville
and Enterprise.
The Bigbyville and McCains COM
munity, like many others in the coun-
ty, is famous for the abundance Of it's
good eating, and the report from
there is to the effect that although
there was tremendous crowd and
all were satisfied, there was enough
prepared for as many more.
Every section Of the school district
was represented, the schools from
some places attending in a body.
The ball game in the afternoon was
won by Bigbyville by decisive score.

its armor before it got under way. In

Vesuvius Terror of the Navy.
So the skipper of the Katahdin
brought his boat back to Washington

became a curiosity of naval construc-

Quite recently the Katahdin met a
prosaic end by acting as target for
new style of naval artillery.
The Vesuvius came nearer fame. 1t
was launched in 1886. The Spanish
American war also heralded it's death.
The Vesuvius was a dynamite cruz
ser. Its weapons were three bronze
tubes projecting amidships and for
ward. From these tubes dynamite
shells containing ESQ pounds of gun
cotton were hurled by compressed ait.
1t was expected that few of these
monster charges would destroy a
whole continent
And they might have had the Vesu-
vius been able to fire accurately. The
tubes were immovable and the only
way to aim was to point the ship at
the target and then regulate the air
pressure. In the language of one ma
val expert, Sometimes we hit the isl

The Vesuvius saw real war service

They made a frightful noise when
they exploded and won the sobriquet
of "the earthquake maker" for the

viusewas turned out to be the terror OF
| the seas and became the terror of the

Officers were afraid the dynamite
magazines would explode In heavy

PETERS KNEW WHEN TO LEAVE

business acquaintance with Smith and
liked him. took Mrs. Peters to the
Smith homo to call. says the New
York Evening Sun. They found the
Smiths thoroughly delightful and spent
a pleasant evening. Time passed rap.
idly and when Peters reached home he
was Mortified to discover that 1t must
have been after midnight when he left
the Smith home.
Not long afterward the Smiths call.

hoped they, too, would stay until mid
night to vindicate him, but they went
home about 1880 o'clock. Then Mr..
and Mrs. Peters went again to the
Smiths, and, as before. had a lovely
time. In the midst Of pleasant con.
versation the ringing Of an alarm clock
made every one look up. Mrs. Smith
seemed embarrassed, but Peters was
calm. The alarm was one Of the inter
mittent kind, and after the first blast
every one settled down comfortably,
only to have the ringing renewed al.
most at once.
IT am afraid some Of the children
must be playing with the alarm clock
