Club Entertained.

Que Of the most charming
events of the season was given
by Mrs. Horace Bowers last Sat-
urday afternoon when she de.
liehtfully entertained the Gard
Club in honor of Mrs. Vernon
Lowe of Nashville. The yule-
tide decorations we're very eff
fectlve and the bright glow of
red and green over the spacious
rooms made festive scene. Bid
whist was played at four tables.
Beautiful and-painted tally
cards in the shape of four. leaf
clover were designed by the
hostess. At the conclusion of
the game quite a pleasant sur.
prise was given by the hostess in
the nature of a Club pin, a dainty
clover leaf with pearl in the
center. The highest score, 81,
WIS made by Mrs, Kelley, while
Mrs. White made 81, but as both
were guests there was q tie be-
tween three members, Miss Irma
Hampton, Mrs. Norvell and Mrs.
Hines, their score being 80.
After drawing, Mrs. Norvell won
the pin. Each one present was
allowed to draw for an interest
ing looking package, which re-
suited in a tie between Mrs. Kel.
ley and Mrs. Alternately, the lat
ter being the lucky one to win q
beautiful boudoir cap and apron.
Subsequent to the game salad
course was temptingly served at
the card tables. Miss Frances
and Master Buster Bowers grace
fully assisted their mother in re-
ceiving. Those who enjoyed this
affair were Misses Jeanette
White, Barbara Marugg, Helen
Byers, Viola Kelley, Irma
Hampton, Sara Hines, Elsie Ma
rugg; Mesdames A. j. Kelley,
Frank White, Ernest Werner,
James Alternately, George It'd
man, Vernon Lowe, Lewis Hines

he was q man of strong likes and
dislikes, but without deception.

first stone. We bury his faults
out of sight with his body, and

afternoon. When 25 years Of
age, while cutting stove wood, a
stick flew up and struck him in
the face, destroying the sight of
one eye and almost destroying
the other optic. AT the age of
2S he was caught by falling slate
in q mine at Newcomb, and so
badly hurt that one arm and one
leg had to be amputated. Al
though minus a leg aud an arm
ard totally blind in one eve and
almost so in the other, Lester
kept on mining, supporting a
large family.

Chancel Guild Entertains.

The Guild entertained the Wo.
man. Auxiliary in a most de-
lightful way Friday afternoon at
the residence of Mrs. Geo. lid
man. Despite the inclement
weather all members were pres.
ent and a very pleasant and
social affair it proved to be. The
house was beautiful with the
Christmas decorations of red and
green, while numerous ferns and
blooming narcissus made q per
feet scene. After the business
meeting a splendid address of
welcome was given by the presi-
dent, Mrs. Jas. Alternately, In
which she expressed desire that
this would be the beginning of
many gatherings of this kind, as
in church work all should be
united in friendly way and
work with energy for a good
cause. A contest conducted by
the secretary, Miss Robbins,
caused much merriment, Mrs.
Ernest Norvell winning the prize.
Music and songs were intersper-
sed and plans were discussed for
a bazaar the latter part of March.
At the conclusion delicious re
frsshments were served. Those
present we're. Misses Elizabeth

SMALL POX SITUATION
AT Monteagle Worse-United
Efforts of Citizens Necessary
to Stamp Out Disease.

Some weeks ago several cases
of smallpox were reported from
Monteagle. Quarantine rsgula-
tions were promptly established
by the health officers. Unfortu.
nately it is always the case when
smallpox makes its appearance
some foolishwise people un.
dertake to throw cold water on
the matter and to miminise the
necessity for the precautionary
measures established by the doc.
tors, and so 1t was in this case.
Nevertheless the disease did not
spread immediately and it was
already thought stamped out,
when number of new cases
made their appearance. At this
writing there are seven well-de.
veloped cases in that town.
Every citizen Of Monteagle
should make it his duty to assist
DR.. Bryan in maintaining the
strictest quarantine measures
and to use every effort to get the
disease stamped out with as little
delay as possible.
The time for the opening of
Fairmouut school is close at
hand aud in very few months the
summer residents should begin
to arrive, and unless the disease
is stamped out forthwith most
disastrous financial results will
be- in store for the mountain
people.
The strictest enforcement of
the quarantine regulations should
be observed by all, and any per-
son not willing to submit should
be arrested forthwith and prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the
law. s

COURTS AT TRACYCITY
Bill Before Legislature-More
Convenient Than Moving
County Site.
NO EXPENSE TO THE COUNTY

DNSie bSVh IuuCu iuCuuNieuSSu
by the location of the county
seat in an out.of-the-way place,
Daring the winter months it is
often next to impossible for the
people from the most densely
populated section of the county
to get to the county seat. The
weather is nearly always bad and
the livery stables at Tracy City
are frequently overtaxed and un
allie to furnish conveyance to oil
who need 60 to Altamont on
court days. The train to Coal
mont runs only in the afternoon,
thus many people are forced to
walk to Altamont or subject
themselves to fines for failure to
appear. Those who are fortu,
nate enough to get conveyance
have a long hard trip over en- I'M
usually rough road with a heavy
livery bill added to their hotel
expenses, without adequate COM
pensation and frequently without
any compensation whatever.
The unfsirnsss OF this condition
is more apparent when we con-
slider that four-tifths Of all the
business at these courts originates
in the southern end of the coun-
ty and the question is often ask,
cd why not move the county seat
to the people instead of forcing
the people to run after the coun-
ty seat under such conditions.
With the heavy increase in
the population of Monteagle,
Tracy City and Coalmont during
.he last few years the clamor for
the removal Of the courthouse to
o more accessible point has
grown to a popular, stern de.
mand, and as more than three
fourths of the people Of the coun-
ty favor such removal the inau-
guratlon of an election 10 oil that
is needed now to effect the re-
moval.
A means of relief less radical
than the removal of the county
seat, a method that will bring no
inconvenience whatever to the
people in any part of the county
and that can be brought about
with much less expenditure of
the peoples money, is in the es-
tablishment of a branch Circuit
and Chancery Court at Tracy
City. 1t is the attendance upon
these two courts, and not the
County Court, that brings the
chief hardship to our people.
Instead of proving a loss to the
county, the establishment of
these courts would ultimately
prove a great saving, as it has
been ascertained that the county
would save annually between
5000 and 1000 in mileage and
attendance fees that are now
being paid out, besides the thous.
ands of dollars that would be
saved to the people in livery and
hotel bills and loss of time from
their daily avocations.
Temporary quarters for these
courts would be furnished by The
citizens of Tracy City without
expense to the county, aud the
salaries of the Judge, Chancellor
aud Attorney General would not
be increased by the establishment
of these courts, thus the change
could be effected without any
expense to the county, and if the
building of courthouse was later
decided on the county could look
to It's savings in court expense to
re emburse it for any outlay.
A bill looking to the esta blish-
ment of these courts has this
week been introduced in both
bl anches OF the Legislature snd
will receive the hearty support

COMET HEADED

Nothing has been seen thus far Of
