This new Alpine railroad has been
constructed Id the face Of formidable
DIM ulties, and will be numbered
among the most noteworthy feats Of
railroad engineering IN modern times.
All the forces Of elemental nature
were mustered to oppose the task Of
laying q railroad line through one OF
the Widest mountainous districts In
Europe. a nine-mile-l long tunnel had
to be pierced through the heart Of the
Bernese Alps range. but this was ..
mere bagat slle compared with the DIFF
1culties encountered in constructing
. track through the precipitous and
avalanche-sWept country on either
side Of this.
The line, which forms short cut to
the simplcn and obviates the wide de-
tour hitherto necessary, Is only 4S
miles IN length, but has occupied more,
than six years In building, owing to
the obstacles which had to be sur.
mounted. Mighty entertainments had
TO be constructed along the edge
Of dizzy precipices. granite via
ducts and steel bridges thrown across
wild ravines, and huge wall-like ban
rters erected high up the mountain
slopes to dtssipate the force Of the de-
Btructive avalanche. ...t.T

Sh, uld Be Careful.

Serenaders assembled at the home
of Mrs. Linda Thompson on the
Sevierville Pike on Saturday night
to serenade Mr.. Otha Gibson and
his bride who were married few
days ago. They had guns, pans,
horns, bells and various instruments
In shooting their guns they destroy
ed some personal property of Mrs.
Thompson's also injured her shade
trees in the yard. We happen to
live next door, and shot fell thick
and fast on the roof of our house
Boys and men should be very care
full or they will get into serious
trouble. Have all the innocent fun
possible but do not destroy or injure
property.

Blount In The Lead

In totalling the yields of the acre
corn plots planted by the boys OF
East Tennessee. it is found that
Blount county takes the first prize
for quantity The most productive
acre shows 1881 bushels, This isn't
bad for a county that some allege is
worn out and no good.
The other counties show a yield
as follows;
Sullivan, 135; Bradley 1887;
Hamilton, 1343; Anderson, 115;
Greene 904; Hambien, l18!; JET
ferson, 1013; Washington 104f;
Monroe, 90; Hawkins %; Carter
924
In most Of the counties there was
an increase of at least fifty percent
in the yield.

Prof. H B. Mccall.

On Monday of last week Prof. Fl.
B. Mccall was again elected by our
County Court to the position of
Superintendent of Public Schools
of our county. Mr.. Mccall has
held the position for a number of
years, and by his work he has clear
ly demonstrated the fact that he is
the right man, in the right place.
Our schools, have grown and pros
pered under his management, and
never in the county's history has
the schools been as good as they are
to-day. He is graduate of Mary
vile College, and puts his very soul
into the work and we are looking
for greater results in our public
schools. We would be glad to pub
lish in our paper an educational
column, notes prepared by the diff
ferent teachers, items that would be
OF great interest to the pupils, pat.
rons and others as we'll.

R. P. McReyuolds.

r. P. McReynolds, who was again
elected Chairman of our County
Court last week, is one OF our pros
porous and energetic farmers. We
think we can truthfully say that the
court made 70 mistake in selecting
him for this important position.
He was elected last fall to ell out
the unexpired term of Esq. W. e.
Parham. who resigned, in order to
look after business interests else
where. He is certainly qualified
and equipped to fill this position.
AS a rule a man who conducts his
own business in a successful manner
can be trusted to a position of trust
and responsibility by the people.
We look for the County's interests
to be well guarded while Mr.. Nc
Reynolds is Chairman.

Agriculture as a vocation will
take its proper place. No man will
be ashamed to admit that he is a
farmer. The educational institutions
are waking up to the importance of
agricultural education. Public
demands it. The brainy
young men are proving the possibili-
ties of agriculture and will attra ct
to it that intelligence to bring sue
cess over apparently insurmountable
obstacles.

Road To Be Repaired.

We are assured by T. F. Cooper,
Chairman of the Blount County
Pike Commission, that the Sewer,
vile Pike will receive its share. of
the Pike funds, and will be put in
splendid shape before long. We
are certainly glad to hear this and
feel sure that our citizens can rest
easy about the matter. This road
is in terrible shape, and we hope
and trust will be repaired as soon as
possible.

The Merchants of Maryville now
have the opportunity of their lives
to increase their business if they
will only take advantage of this
chance. Parcels Post is now in
operation, and gooas can be de-
livered all over the county very
cheaply. Our paper covers Blount
County like a blanket. Every
hamlet, cross road and Post Office
is reached, and we figure that near
ly seven thousand people read the
TIMES every W elk. Place your ads
with us and you will soon see and
feel the result. We are ready at all
times to help you prepare copy, and
will display your ads to the best ad-
vantage. This is an advertising age,
and the man or firm who does not
use printers ink are the ones that
get left. The large stores of the
cities, the mail order houses, are
flooding the country Ewith ad-
vertisements and hundreds OF dollars
are being sent away every year.
Use every legitimate means to keep
the trade at home, and this is one
of the very best instruments if not
the best you can use. Let US have

too many of us thought any fool
could be a farmer, If we have a

must train him for a profession
