FOUND DEAD
Was George Cross, a Well
Known Farmer

Lying dead within a short dis
tance of the Maryville pike, six anc
one half miles south of Knoxville
George Cross, well known farmer
and citizen of Mount Olive, was
found Sunday morning bv a search
ing party that had been sent out to
lock for the aged man.
1t is believed that Mr.. Cross be-
came suddenly ill while en- route
from Knoxville to his home at
Mount Olive about three O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, and went to a
shady spot near the pike, where he
expired. His death was probably
due to the heat and effects of illness
He spent Saturday morning in
Knoxville, and left in the after
noon for his home in a buggy. He
was last seen alive by H. B. Houser
who met him in the road one half
mile from where his horse and bug
gy were found.
The deceased was sixty. five yea RS
of age, and not been in good health
for some time it is said. When he
failed to arrived home Saturday
evening, members of the family
caused a search to be started, and
a party compose of Charles Cross,
a son of the dead man. w. H.
Nichols, Joel H Thurman, W. H.
Ford and Oscar Ford started out to
search for the missing man.
The body was found lying near a
rail fence, where it is thought the
aged man dropped 1t is believed
that he went to that place
to get in the shade, and was
not able to return to his horse and
buggy, that had been left near the
road side. It's said that everything
indicated that Mr.. Cross died from
a natural cause journal and Tri-
bune.

ALUMINIUM CO.TOSTAY
Indications Point to the Fact that We
Have Landed the Great Industry
Our Citizens Have Secured All the Land Needed
and Required by the Company

Notwithstanding the fact that rumors have
been flying thick and fast that the Aluminium
Company of America was going to locate at
Knoxville. This idea has been aided and
greatly adjutated and promulgatedin GREAT
BIG SCARRY head lines by the Knoxville
papers, especially the Journal & Tribune,
every indication points to the fact that Mary
vile has undoubtedly landed this great in
dustry.
The only stumbling block in the way seem
ed to be the fact that they could not secure
the land held by the Rorex Heirs, Colored,
Mayor Everett who has been in Indianapolis,
Indiana, where he went to see one of the
heirs, flashed over the wires that he had
secured what he went after. Other promin-
ent citizens J. M. Clark and A. X. Harper
succeeded in getting Houston ROrex to sign,
and there is only one more signature to be
secured---and this one will be no trouble so
we are told.
If the Company does not come nOw--it will
not be on account of not securing the land
and sight they wanted.
Too much praise cannot be given those
who have worked long and faithful to get
what the Company asked.

Water is getting to be a serious
condition in this section, ponds,
wells, cisterns and springs going dry,
hardly enough in places for domestic
use.
Ifyou really want to see road work
that is road work take a trip up the
old Upton road. This used to be
the old stage road we understand but
got 20 bad that people have been
hunting other routes that wished to
60 north. However that is all
changed now. Something like 81 400
was raised and this with the work done
is making that a fine road. Men are
moving their fences back where nec-
essary, the creek north Of the Nor
eau, at the foot of the big hill, has
been changed by heavy concrete
abutment and the road there much
benefited. We hear that the people
about Fortuna are talking Of doing .
lot of work on the hill south OF their
town, on this road, as they are most
ly benefited, even if it is in Morgan
county.

A good lot OF work is being done
on the Glensted road north from Yer.
sailles. This road will soon be in
fine shape as far as the Freedom
church hill. That is one OF the
worst places left and it DOES seem
that Hon. Conway Jones and Capt
Joe Milburn would see that that hill
is shaped up SO that people can &C
to church, or at least get up fal
enough to take look at the thriving
town of Glensted. Surely those peo'
pie up that way are not going to bs
the last in good road work,

From what we can near, the peo
ole about Excelsior are certainl,
awake when it comes to road build

there that fail to come to the scratch

TO the comfort OF their people ant
will advance the price Of every scr'
Of land out that way.
