CLIFFORD WAS
PROBABLY SURPRISED

Some of the comedies of Christmas
appear along with the tragedies. A
Young matron of this town has always
heretofore received package from rel
atives at Knoxville at this season, so
she has been eagerly expectant. Mon
day night of last week, package
reached the express Office, this city,
with no wrapper around it, but at the
same time the wrapper from a parcel
addressed to her was received, but no
parcel accompanied it Naturally both
she and the express agent decided that
the package was hers, and she bore it
home in trump. To her surprise 1t
contained a quantity Of home made
candy of inferior quality, and card
bearing the inscription, From Ar
minta to to Clifford" " As her friends
at Knoxville fully appreciate the fact
that she is the fond mother of lusty
16 months old infant, it is natural to
suppose that "Clifford," whoever be
is, who it is supposed has received
the other parcel, is wondering what
he is going to do with the interest
ing articles supposed to be contained
therein. It is to be hoped it will not
cause any serious breach between him
and "Arminta.

body from the waist down was com
pletely torn to pieces, one arm and
neither foot being found. His clothing
was torn and crushed up with the flesh

Cured is not known, and perhaps Will
never be. as no one saw the accident
and the body was not found until this
morning about z O'Clock. The man 8
watch stopped at O'Clock and 1t IS
supposed that it was about that time
when he was killed. Cartwright was
a young man about 25 years of age and
is survived by mother and father,
two brothers and one sister who are
residents Of this city. The body was
carried to the undertaking establish
ment of G. Baumgartner and prepared
for burial, which will take place this
afternoon in the City cemetery. Cart
wright had been evading the officers
here for some time for some offense
committed and for which an indict-
ment had been returned by the grand
Jury at one time. Some few weeks ago
be made sensational escape from
Deputy Sheriff Steve Rogers. Friends
of Cartwright claim that he was COM
ing home in order to surrender to the
officers and was in some manner
thrown from the train and killed.

OLD YEAR DANCED OUT
NEW YEAR DANCED IN
Old Folks Of South Pittsburg
Compliment Younger eIe-
ment New Years Eve.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, Jan.
1.-The dance given at the Cookemore
hotel last evening by the old people of
this city, complimentiug the young
folks of the entire Sequatchee valley,
and especially those of this place who
have been attending school away from
home, was climax to the many So
cial functions held during the holi-
days. Invitations were extended to all
the young people of the valley, and in
response more than 150 responded, and
the parlors of the Cookemore was the
scene of much gaiety and pleasure, en-
joyed equally as much by the old and
those who did not indulge in the dan
cling.
The spacious diningroom of the
Cookemore was Cleared Of the tables
and the floor put in the very finest of
condition for the event, and Mr. and
Mrs. s. w. Taliaferro spared no means
in providing for the comfort and en-
tertainment for all. Messrs. A. A.
Cook and w. E. Carter, two of our
most prominent business men and citi-
zens, assisted by Mr.. Taliaferro, man
ager of the CQokemore, originated the
idea of this entertaining, compliment
ing the young people. and the success
of the affair was eminent as profuse
praises were made by the guests.
The diningroom was artistically and
beautifully decorated with holly and
evergreen, as was also the lobby, and
the entire hotel was brilliantly illum-
mated. One of the finest string bands
in the city of Chattanooag was engag-
ed to discourse music, and the dancing
commenced at 8 O. clock and continued
to a late hour, when refreshments con
sisting of coffee and sandwiches were
served.
Mr.. and Mrs Taliaferro were form
er citizens of McMinnville, and only
recently came to this city and leased
the Cookemore hotel, and their coming
adds an interesting and intelligent
family to South Pittsburg's society.

Watch Night Party.

The following composed a Watch
Night party Tuesday night to see the
Old Year out and the New Year in:
Misses Virgie Lasater, Matte Lasa-
ter, May Lasater, Juliette Hopkins,
Nina Raadle, Messrs. Sam Lasater,
Walter Randle, Frank Deakins, Will
ford Scofeld, They met at the home
of Miss Randle, where the evening
was spent in music and conversation,
refreshments being served just before
repairing to Owen Church where the
bell rope was energetically pulled in
an endeavor to tell the country
around that 1918 was ushered upon the
scene.
Watch Night parties were also OBJ
served at other places in the valley,
Judging from the noise of whistles at
South Pittsburg and the Lock and
Dam, which maintained sonorous
hum for several minutes like distant
bee hive. After they had all ceased
the tones of McKendree Church, JAS
per, came clearly through the fresty
air, which is something rarely heard
here, on account of the mountain in
tervening
