A dear one from US has gone.
One whom we loved so well,

Gone 10 live with Jesus,
To share with him his love.
Free from pain and sorrow,
In her home above
As time flies on we miss her more
She sleeps we leave her in peace 10 rest
The parting was painful, but God knew best.
Ny grandmother is al rest

We, the undersigned Cooke County

fully show that, on Jan. 10th, 1912, we
received bids from the Newport Banks
to handle the funds arising from the
sale OF the issue OF 100000 Pike Road
Bonds dated Jan. LIST, 1912. and we &C.
cepted the bid of the Merchants &
Planters Bank, which is in the words
and figures following, to wit:
1t will be seen that the Bank, in adj
dition to the payment of interest on
the funds, binds ITSELF to pay the in
terest on said bonds, ana the principal
of said bonds as they mature, in the
City of New York, without charge to
the County. AS this instrument con-
stitutes the contract between the bank
and the county in regard to this mat.

FABRIC FASHIONS
FOR SPRING.
Materials That May Predominant
In Next Seasons Gowns.

In speaking of spring styles the Dry
Goods Economist says:
1t is the CONSENSUS Of opinion among
manufacturers that tailored effects will
lead in the orders for delivery during
the first three months Of the new year;
For this reason the cotton materials
which lend themselves most favorably
to these styles are featured, such rs
ratines in the plain. checked and plaid,
ed varieties. linens largely of ramie
weave. cotton. corduroy, voies. grapes
and fancy cotton SUITS.
There is more interest shown in pom
gee than has been evidenced for the
last few seasons, some of the newest
models showing the white and printed
effects combined
In silks there is strong fashion in
dUrSement for crepes lie chine. Grape
meteors also being fairly popular.
Moire. faille and bengaine are used
largely for trimming effects. They also
appear in the higher priced merchan-
disc for novelty garments.
In regard to the popular priced mer-
chandise there is 4 tendency to com.
bine fashionable coloring with white.
By way Of illustration mention is made
Of white linen dress having the waist
and skirt yoke section of blue. rose,
tan. gray or lavender. the skirt. collar
and cuffs being made of the white
linen.
Other advance models show short
getaway coat effect brought out in col
ored linen over the white skirt, the
trimmings on the waist also being
white. Still other white dresses show
only touch of color, this trimming eff
feet being noted in the embroidered
designs on the waist. In the collars.
cuffs, buttons and belts. Colored lin
ems bid fair to be quite popular in the
medium shades Of blue. tan. mustard,
rose. wistaria and other col0rings In
favor this season.
in ratlnes the color appears in the
small checked. plaided or striped de-
signs. blue. tan and black being most
~ used.
As to voiles, the soft standings are
usually seen in the wide embroidery
designs, these often taking the form
Of the forty-fve inch founces. Rose.
yellow. various shades of blue. laven-
der and purple are used on the white.
plain or Grape voile. and In some eases
q combination of colors is employed in
the embroidery. thus giving decided
~ oriental effect.
Cotton corduroys and piques show
mostly the solid color or white for the
whole dress. with the exception OF
small cord trimmings of white on colos
or colored cords On white.

Report Of Pike Commission, jan

Peters and Gibson completed their
contract for the construction of all the
roads contracted, Oct. 3lst, 1912, and
since that time the Low Gap Road
has been completed, and the Round
Mountain Road is two-tliirds compIet-

McCreary & Co. VS.. ke,County and
two other claims not in suit. We have
settled several other small right of

out all of these matters as soon as
possible.

IL cost S262.50. and in completing the
roads we had to cut off of mile of
macadam for want of funds. These
parties are willing to pay to the Trus-
tee $4,000 in cash in settlement, and
we believe this to be fair and reason
able offer and recommend its accept
ance.
Since the completion of the main
contract on Oct. 3lst, we nave not
charged salaries and have only
charged for the actual time devoted to
winding up the business.
The Coalmittee appointed by this
Court TO examine our books will report
in detail our receipts aud expenditures
and it will be unnecessary for US to 90
into that.
We have So miles of graded road,
and 52.3 macadam road, and we be-

levy of II cents in 1913, will pay this
entire debt and interest.
The present pike bond levy should
be maintained. 1t sufficient tOmeet

bonds as they mature without raising
the levy. However reduction of 8
cents could be made.
The County owes $40, 1861 in inter-
est bearing warrants, and we have, or
soon will have In The hands Of the
Trustee $S,55l.l II toapply on this debt,
leaving balance Of 81 ,554.99 unpaid,
with some accured interest. Therefore,
you will see that The 20 cents levy
heretofore made to liquidate this debt
is no longer necessary. and this levy
can be reduced to ) orr cents.
The County is in excellent financial
condition, and is in a position to reduce
the tax levy As cents within the next
two years.
The Sheriff complains that he is at
great expense in keeping the jail in a
sanitary condition, and we know this
TO be true. Where the Sheriff dis
charges the duties required to him, we
think it fair that he should be allowed
reasonable amount for eX-official
services in order to help him out with
these expenses for which he receives
no compensation, ana SO recommend.
We have investigated tneclaims filed

mendations thereon.

County History
Cooke County Pike Commission

A. J. McMahan submitted Il propo-
sition to the county court to write a
history of Cooke county, ami the same
was accepted. Mr.. McMahan is a writer
of well recognized ability and the tact
that he will write the history will be
assurance sufficient Of its merit. A
history Of Cooke county has long been
needed and ii should he Included as a
branch OF study in the public schools.
The proposition made by Mr., McMa-
han was as follows:
Newport, Tenn. Jan. 6, 1913
To the honorable County Court of
Cooke County: ..s
Whereas, it is a well known fact
that many citizens of Cooke county
who have given the question considera-
ton, would approve and endorse a
plan to prepare history Of Cooke
county. This history should be pre-
pared with an aim to making 1t a
textbook for use in the public schools
of Cooke county, as we'll as for the in
formation of the general public. Every
public-sp:rited citizen of Cooke county
should be interested in this move,
whereby a history could be prepared
and published bearing upon the pro-
gress Of the county from its formation
to the present date. Such text book
would be of great benefit to the school
children of the county, as it would en-
able them to obtain knowledge of
their county that they could not other
wise secure. To prepare such his
tory would require considerable labor
and research. If this is done, no de-
lay should be made, as the old men
who can throw light upon the earlier
history of our county are rapidly pass
ing away.
If the court fayorabiy considers this
matter, ! will make the following pro-
POSITION:
| will go to the expense and time Of
preparing this histoiy of the county
IL this court Will allow me a reasonable
amount for my services. 1t will re-
quire almost year to gather together
the information and prepare the his
tory. ] consider that an appropria-
ton of 500 for the services would be
reasonable. would want this appro-
pyiation to be made conditiOnally.
That is, after | had prepared the his
tory. | would want the County Court
to select a committee Including the
county superintendent to pass upon
the value of the history, and if they
considered my services had been worth
that much to the county and that the
history was commendable, then they
could allow me the appropriation. The
county could then have the book pub
lished and adopted for use in the pub
lie schools and the sale of same would
amount to considerably more than the
, amount of the appropriation and the
cost of publication.
Or | will make this propositions; If
when the history is prepared, and ac-
cepted be the Court, the county will
stand the cost of its publication, will
be willing TO accept royalty of 50%s
of the sale of the history, the remain
ing 500 10 go to the county.
Respectfully submitted to your con-
sideration.
