The most interesting talk
made was delivered by DR., d. I'll.
Bryan, who said in part:
"Gentlemen of the Monteagle
Board of Trade, Gall things work
together for good to them that
love and fear God" is a true and
trite scriptural pronouncement,
and this scribe feels that it will
do no violence to paraphrase it to
read, CAL things will work TO-
together for good to them who
will Jointly work for greater and
better Monteagle." Gentlemen,
the task is ours. We cannot af-
ford to allow our petty animos-
tiles, our little ijealousies, our
envies and our hatred to serve as
stumbling blocks to progressive
ness. We mnst not only be pro-
gressive but aggressive, if we
ever come into possession of our
civic rights and prosperity. This
is a community interest that we
have undertaken and it calls for
our best and highest efforts, re-
CARELESS of any private opinion
we may have of any man, woman
or child who resides among us.
Let every citsZen get on the fir
ing line and become an enthusi-
astic booster for greater and bet
ter Monteagle. and all of us will
live to see the day and be made
to rejoice when Monteagle be-
comes a thrifty town, running
over with tourists and visitors
from all parts of the United
States and from abroad. They
will flee unto our mountain top
from the extreme southland to
escape the diseases incident to
the lowland districts and to en-
Joy the coolAcllmate and the plat
form features of the Monteagle
Assembly. In addition to the
varied and entertaining features
now offered by the Monteagle
Assembly, recent developments
indicate that in the near future
there will be added golf links, 3
base ball park, tennis courts and
theatre for the "movies."
predict that in fifteen years we
will hardly know Monteagle be-
cause of its marvellous growth.
Twenty years ago our most ex'
penslve cottage was valued al
one thousand dollars, while to-
day we have many, both il
Monteagle and in the MonteagIe
| Assembly that cost many times
that amount. Twenty years age
there was not a lawn or curb
stone in the Assembly Groundo
today the Assembly Grounds is {
veritable park, threaded will
splendid macadamized roads, anC
spanned here, there and every
where with foot-bridges, anC
curbed sidewalks are in evidence
throughout the grounds.
