SHOULD MAKE APPROPRIATION

The County Court meets next week.
1t is earnestly hoped that they will
vote for an appropriation towards the
erection of the East Tennessee Build
ing at The National Conservation Ex-
position. Other Counties are going to
do this We do not want our County
to be left out of it. Knox County, it
will be remembered, voted ten thous-
and dollars towards the erection Of the
building, provided other counties
would make up a like amount. This
would put up twenty thousand dol
lar building. 1t means too much to
every county in East Tennessee for
any not to be represented in the East
Tennessee Building. More than one
million visitors will go to the EXPOSE
tion in September and October. They
will see agricultural displays from ev-
cry state in the South It is hoped
that every county in East Tennessee
will be we'll represented in this re-
spect. We certainly cannot afford to
be left out. We want to build up our
county To do this we must attract
people to it. The best opportunity ev-
or afforded to show what our county
is and what it can produce is offered
at the Exposition to be held in Knox
Vile next Fall. The railroads will
run excursions to East Tennessee coun-
ties. Unless our county is properly
represented, we cannot expect that
prospective homeseekers and investors
are going to locate with Us, We must
first show them that we have those
things in our midst out of which they
can make comfortable living The
Government and State Experiment
Station, will have agricultural dis
plays and methods that will help our
own method of farming. But what we
want to DO is to show to the outside
world that VIC can raise just as good
crops as any Other county when we
try. Let's see il we cannot make the
best show .ng OF any other County in
the East TGrnessee Building. Request
the member of the County Court from
your section tn vote for this appropra-
ton. 1t will be money we'll spent. It
will bring as good returns. This great
National Exposition is being staged
right here in East Tennessee, so let g
do our Part Of the cost of erecting the
East Tenne, ee Building It is pro-
posed to make the exhibits in this
Building permanent, SO that the conn
ty will get twofold benefit from the

CORN CLUB.

The members of the County Court respectfully ask
ed to make an appropriation for prizes for corngrow
ing contest for the boys of Marion County during 1913
the prize winners of which contest suggest, they
themselves shall be the judges, through committee of
one meberof the from each district of the county
One or two prizes will be sufficient say $50 to 500
for first prize and SIS to SIS for second prize for
the best acre of grown upland and land that
has not been used for such contest before and
bya youth under 20 of who has not contested
in such contest BEFORE each contestant notify the
chairman of this Corn Contest Committee before March
l. 1913 of his determination to enter such contest and
where his land is located, and have properly measured
off, Such an offer would, doubt interest IN
scientific growing among the boys the farm and
perhaps others who would get land to what they
could do from "book" knowledge.
The Knoxville Journal and Tribune has made offer of
$1,000 be divided into six to be contested for
by the boys of East Tennessee and Marion county is in
cluded among the counties eligible to enter. youth
entering the Marion county contest provided for by the
court order the Journal and Tribune contest
would have to enroll his with Them ALSO but there
would be expense for enrolling in either contest or
both,
We hope the County Court will decide to offer these
prizes We have made reasonable request posi-
ble hoping that modest request will influence them
easily. they decide to be generous will
be still pleased If they felt that appropriations for
tick eradication and hookworm prevention neces-
sary surely they must feel that Corngrowing Contest
to arouse interest in farming among the boys just as
necessary. Let act literally towards the boys the
coming farmer. of our county. THE NEWS, if it had
the funds would not hesitate offer these prize. ITSELF
but this unfortunately is not able to do, appeal
to the County Court of Marion County, to help the boys
of the county.

HOT TIMES IN WHITWELL

WHITWELL, Tenn, Dec. 30.-Hot
during the holidays. On account of
the nearbeer saloons being put out of
business great thirst was developed,
which resulted in the importation of
an enormous quantity of booze, q phen-
ominally large amount being shipped
in In consequence there was trouble
galore, and fist fights we're numerous.
A serious tragedy was averted when
two men quarreled at a shooting
match, and the gun of one was struck
upwards by bystander when pointed
at another with whom the party had
difficulty. One booty individual got
mad at store keeper for refusing
him credit for 10c, and went to
hardware store and bought $40 shot
gun, with which to settle the Difficult.

An Old Friend Speaks Out.

The receipt in our mail this week of
the Sequachee Valley News of Sequa-
chez, Tenn, recalls wildly to our
mind the days long gone by when its
senior editor and proprietor was an
important factor in the democratic
party and especially in town politics
away back in the sixties and seventies.
Thomas 81. Hill was for many years
Selectman and Clerk of the Board in
which position he was for time quite
an autocrat in the town government,
and exercised a great influence in
town affairs. Like all the rest of us
he must be growing old and gray.

SMOKELESS COAL.

The New Etna Coal company, at
Whiteside, has recently struck bot
tom vein of "smokeless bituminous
coal, ;" which, after being thoroughly
tested in Atlanta, passed the severe
smoke inspectors of that city and may
be used without smoke consumers
The new coal is oft and comparative
ly inexpensive. It Sc ms to be fonn''
in great abundance and will be placed
in the market under the title of st.
Anthony. A slight smoke arlses
when the coal is first fired, but at no
time is there the dense smoke wblch
so obiectiouably pours forth from fac
tories and engines from use OF some
other coal. The new product may at
ford a solution of the smoke CToub-
les of Chattanooga, it is claimed. ---
Chattanooga News.
Here is a use at last fol the despiSed
bottom vein of coal, and Sequachee
may possibly come in on it. About all
coal development here has been nipped
off short, because the deposits were
bottom veins, and therefore considered
unreliable. About one mile in rear OF
town there is an opening, two OF Them
which showed up considerable guam
tity of fatty burning coal. but
when the prospectors reached squeeze
after. perhaps rs yards digging they
promptly DECIDED to go no further be-
cause it was on the unreliable bot
tom vein. The entire Sequachee prop
erty is unde,laid with this vein, and
Others, too, which have not been
touched on so often, as this same "bot-
tom vein has been Opened in va
rious other places, besides outcrop-
pings. Investigation for coal here has
always been made in an endeavor to
get the Whitwell or Sewanee seam,
which without the altitude is an I'M
possibility. The Sequachee lands just
touch on this seam on the Big Ridge. |
four miles out on the mountain from
here. Hence, 1t was concluded that
there was nothing doing in coal devel-
opment as far as Sequachee was con-
esrned, but here comes the New Etna
Goal Company and develops superior
brand of coal from this greatly despis-
cd "bottom' vein. How much longer
are we going to stand stillY

There are fewer shocks Of corn
standing In the field this winter in
this vicinity than there used to he.
The silos and the shrcdders are the
cause Of part Of this, and some prefer
stacking their fodder to digging the
shocks out OF the snow. There are
enough shocks standing in the fields
though to remind us Of the good old
days when we first began TO learn the
value of corn fodder.
