an old blanket, which is usually used

Dear Edat0r-From my earliet
fecollections as boy going to the
public school until this day it has
been the boast and pride of the
citizens and children OF Qualla that
we have the most beautiful and
most ideal public school grounds to
be found anywhere in the State.
This has been the unanimous YER
dict of all visitors and strangers
who have come to Our community.
] making this statement | have re-
ference to the natural fitness of the
place for the purpose to which our
fOrefathers dedicated it long years
ago.
Among .other things that have
contributed to its beauty and value
as public school ground, are Two
tall, spreading, majestic oaks placed
there by the Creator Himself more
than half century ago. Many of
the citizeps and children appreciate
their beauty and worth and value
them far beyond any money value
that might be placed upon them.
One of these grand old oaks, the
most perfect shade tree to be found
in the entire country, stands on the
front of the school ground near the
northeast corner Of the house. The
other one grew on the back p 1T Of
the ground not far from the south
west corner of the house.
On last Sunday morning when I
approached the school grounds and
saw this fine tree which grew on
the back side of the house cut down
and lying on the ground | was
shocked and Mortified. A still far
ther feeling of horror passed over
me when l learned that the teachers
OF the school cut the tree down
themselves and gave for an excuse
the frivolous, childest plea that they
had no wood and they must cut
that tree or freeze. Another sur
pliZe awaited me when | was told
by the principal of the school that
the school committeeman told him
to cut the tree for wood and he
slapped her down. AS he said this
an innocent smile pas ed over his
face as if this ruthless, criminal act
were Of no more consequence than
the failing of a tree i'll the dense
forest Of the Smoky mountains a
hundred miles from human habi-
tation.

Farmers are Complaining.

Some of the farmers living west of
town are complaining about the
condition of the roads leading out of
the city in their direction. The
Maxwell lane is in bad shape, as
we'll as the road leading to the north
from the west end of this lane. The
city authorities recently promised
that all roads leading into the city
would be kept in good condition this
year and the farmers to the west are
hoping that the roads in their di-
rection will receive attention soon.
These farmers claim they are keep
ing the thoroughfares by their
places in good condition and that
this neglect on the part of the city
is discouraging to those who want
decent roads.

OFF TO CHICAGO TO
SEE SPECIALIST
J. L. Kamrar Will Consult Specialist
in Regard to Swollen Foot
and Limb.

J. l.. Kamrar left Friday night
for Chicago to consult a specialist
in regard to his foot and limb which
has been swollen and troublesome
ever since his recent illness in Col
fax, at which time his physician, DR..
Boyd, together with DR.. Grimes,
consulting specialist from Des
Moines, pronounced it to be neuritis
of the sciatic nerve. NotWithstand-
ing the fact that since Mr.. Kamrar's
return the limb has had complete
rest and treatment under the care of
local physicians for several weeks
past, yet it has not yielded thus far
to treatment but remains in the
same swollen condition when in &C
tive use. 1t is hoped that the I'M
DERIVING cause of the trouble may be
removed and that Mr.. Kamrar will
soon be restored to his usual good
health

KAUFMAN WILL
SET ASIDE BY JURY
Only one Ballot Required-Womar
was not Wife of Kaufman,
so Jury Say.

1t required one ballot for the jury
, in the Kaufman will case to reach
verdict. The jury retired just be-
fore supper Friday evening and the
first ballot taken revealed the fact
that the jury was unanimous in the
belief that the will should be set
aside and that Mrs. Kaufman was
not in fact the wife of Harry w.
Kaufman.
The case created much interest.
Mr.. Kaufman was the proprietor
of nursery and poultry farm
north of Stratford and died about a
year ago. The farm consisted of
eighty acres and Mr.. kauffmann
left will bequeathing everything
to his wife. There are seven chill
dren of the deceased by former mar
riages, Mr.. Kaufman having had
two wives previous to his living
with this woman. She claimed to
be his common law wife, but it is
evident the claim was not sustained
to the satisfaction of the jury. The
of plaintiffs was that I'M
due influence was brought to bear
upon Kaufman and that he was
not OF sound mind when he made
the will. There will likely be mo-
ton for a new trial and the case
will probably go to the supreme
court before finally settled. The
involved is worth from $S,-
900 to $4,000.
