STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
AT JOHNSON CITY

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. April ). -
The enrolment in the Normal and
Academic Courses in the State Normal
School is now in excess of three hun
dred and the enrolment in all depart
ments, including the High School and
Observation School, is seven hundred.
Of the Normal students about one
hundred and twenty find lodging in
the women's dormitory, while about
one hundred and fifty or more non-res-
idents are lodging III private homes.
If the Normal School had dOrmi
tory for men that would accommodate
one hundred, and additional dormitory
accommodations for women for two
hundred every place would be taken
before the close of this term.
The large increase in enrolment has
necessitated the employment of an ad-
ditional teacher, Miss Ina Yoakley, a
graduate of Columbia University, New
York, who has been doing special
work in that University this year.
Miss Yoakley comes very highly rec
commended and already has made a
most favorable impression upon the
classes in Physics and Geography.
New students are registering every
day and the total enrolment in the
Normal Courses this year will be at
least one hundred greater than last
year.
The young women of the School have
recently organized second literary
society, which is beginning work with
a large. interested, and active mem
bership.
The classes in Agriculture have been
very large this year and with the
warm days of the past few weeks the
classes in Horticulture. and the child
rem in the Observation School, are be-
ginning to make very creditable
showing in the school gardens.
The Summer Term will begin Mon
day, June end, and continue six weeks.
In addition to the regular faculty Miss
Sarah Withers, of the State Normal
School Of South Carolina, the Win
tbrop Normal School, will give in
struction for two weeks in primary
work and methods. The prospects are
that the Summer Term will be attend
ed by at least five hundred or six hun
dred East Tennessee teachers.

BIG SEQUAHEE RIVER
ON A TEAR

The Big Sequachee River which
traverses Sequachee Valley, and has
its headwaters in Cumberland Noun
tain north of Pikeville, has been on a
big tear the past week. Rains were
very heavy in the section where it's
tributaries flow, and the damage to
farms has been considerable from
washed away fences and damaged
land. Big Sequachee was three feet
higher than it has ever been known
before, and miles of fences have been
washed away. T. s. Parham, of
Burke, will suffer loss estimated at
$500. Parties trying to cross these
tributary streams during their flood
stage, have had narrow escapes from
drowning. Jack Davenport and Les
ter Hassler drove with load of lum-
ber into stream that empties into Sc
quachee River The team and load
were washed away, and the men came
near being drowned. They cut one of
their mules loose, and thought the
Other lost, but it was found next
morning standing in some drift next
to stone fence, The load of lumber
was scattered for three miles along Sc
quachee River, and the wagon Tn
coupled and found in different places.

The Next Worse Life,

The preacher has hard time. If his
hair is gray, he is old. If be is a
young man, he hasn't had experience.
If he has ten children, he has too
many. If he mas one, he should have,
and isn't setting good example. If
his wife sings in the choil, she is pre-
suming. If she don't she isn't inter
ested in her husbands work. If
preacher reads from notes, he ia a bore.
If he speaks extemporaneously, he is
mt deep enough, If he stays at home
in his study, he doesn't mix with the
people. If he is seen around the
streets, be ought to be at nome getting
up good sermon. If he calls on some
very poor family, he is playing to the
grandstand. If be calls at the home
of the rich, he is an aristocrat. What
ever he does someone could have told
him how to do better He has a fine
time living off donations which never
come in, and promises that never ma
ture. Next to being an editor, it is
an awful life. Mrs Glundy, Tracy

LAST TOWER is
PUT IN PLACE

The Tennessee Power Co. has finish
ed placing the 1. 800 poles necessary for
its power transmission line from Ocoee
River to Nashville, which crosses this
valley at College These supports,
which are of iron, average 55 feet
high, although some are 203 feet high.
The wires which they support will
carry q, 300 volts of electricity. The
line starting at the Ocoee River plant
first goes to Cleveland, where four
lines radiate, one to Chattanooga, an
other to Rome, Ga, another to Knox
vile. and one to Nashville. The Nash
vile line goes to Sale Greek where it
crosses the Tennessee on four steel
towers, 9O3 feet high, hence across
Walden's ridge fifteen miles to Col
lege in this valley, thence over Cum
berland Mountain to Great Falls on
Caney Fork River, where a second
power plant is proposed, hence along
Stones River to Woodbury., Murfrees-
borO, Smyrna and Laverne to Nash
vile. In Nashville reinforced con-
crete poles are used instead of ordin-
ary poles. They are very expensive
but are the very latest in power trans
equipment. 1t is expected the
details of equipment will be finished
by April 10, and electric power be in
Nashville from OCoee river. Substa-
tions will be placed at principal plac-
es along route for furnishing electric
light and power to places desiring it.

APRIL TERM
CIRCUIT COURT
Light Docket Causes Slack
Business for the Judicial
Ermine.

The April term of criminal court
which convened at Jasper Monday did
a small business that day, Judge Nc
Reynolds in his charge to the grand
jury, dwelt especially on the enforce.
ment of the fonr-nlile law, which
means that he desires strict watch on
the operations of bootleggers and blind
tigers, and it will go hard with them.
Not case was tried Monday, and the
misdemeanor docket was soon run
through. This docket was very light
on account of the rigid enforcement of
the laws against the nearbeer bar
room, which were brought to a stern
reality at last court as many found to
their cost. In the afternoon court ad-
journed, and the legal lights hied
themselves to the ball park at South
Pittsburg TO witness the game between
the Lookouts and South Pittsburg.
The criminal docket was taken up
Tuesday.
The civil division of the court will
take up business Monday under Judge
Bachman.
