Kind Editors; Allow me to sa
that our graveyard working proved
success. The only thing lacking {
make il grand success was the short
age of flowers. There was not a sufi
cheney of flowers to decorate and beau
tify the mounds as we would love &C
have done. On account of the reeen
dry weather the flowers were cut shor
hence the lack of a sufficiency. AS Il
edibles there was no scarcity There
was very large crowd and there wa
plenty to thoroughly satisfy every bun
gering soul and plenty left to feed al
many more. The good ladies OF this
settlement did themselves honor il
preparing and bringing out their de-
| licious ''viands" to the satisfaction OF
every one present. The only trouble
with us hungry men" is that these
opportunities and privileges don't oc.
cur often enough. There we're repre-
sentatives from Dunlap, Whitwell, Sc
quatchie and even from Chattanooga
and Texas Why should we not have
enjoyed the occasion
Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Lewis aud
their son Crit and his wife and two
little sons Jimmy and Tommie from
Fit. Worth, Texas, were visiting
friends and kinsfolk in the valley last
week ana enjoyed the day with friends
u alak ha rA
ing.
J. W. Bennett, formerly of Squat
chic Valley, but now a resident of
Hill City, was at the graveyard work
ing and enioyei his dinner John, as
we all know, is a jolly good fellow.
Miss Lille McNabb and brother,
Looney, of Dunlap, visited old home
friends and relatives in these diggins
last week and took in the graveyard
working.
W. G.. Moore and daughter, Miss
Nettie, visited friends at Dunlap from
Friday until Tuesday couple of
weeks ago, and reported nice time.
While there they met Uncle Silas Nc
Nabb and wife, Aunt Linda; also j.
A. Boyd, James NJ Rogers, W. E.
Thomas, John Degnau, John McNabb
and family, Dave McNabb and family,
all from Marion county, and all seem
ed to be enjoying good health and. hay
ing a good time, though they seemed
to be little fearful that the Dunlap
mines would suspend work for while.
The coke ovens had already closed
down and everything appeared little
shaky. Mr.. John Degnan, the bank
boss, seemed to think that everything
would properly assert itself after a
while and all would move on nicely.
Well, the recent rains came just in
time to spoil the little nubbins and
make large ears of corn, which was
welcomed by all our farmers, though |
t was too late to save the beans,
which we regret very much, as bacon
md beans is a favorlte dish with most |
# farmers.
Watermelons are almost a complete |
allure this season in this part of the
ountry. John Spangler, the renown-
d melon grower, has made failure
his year, and when John fails there
$ not much doing on water melons.
Well, we are expecting our public
chool to open here at the Knox school
ouse the 1st Monday in August We
viii have for our teacher this year
'rof. Henry Grayson. Mr.. Grayson
said to be a mighty good teacher
nd we are glad to have him teach
ur school Hope we will have the
est school this fall we have ever had.
Our board member, Mr.. Moore, has
REQUIRED for us and has them in place,
sufficient supply of patent school
esks, which were badly needed, and
g are informed that the county school
bard at their last meeting Inaugural
ID plans to supply a sufficiency of
lpital to build us new school house
ere somewhere, which is, and has
een badly needed for several years.
r. Moore thinks he can arrange to
ave the building in operation right
way. He thinks he can have it COM
etc and ready for use blythe time the
Gather gets cold and disagreeable.
g also says he is going to have
ected a new school building at Sui
lur Springs which is badly needed, ]
it is reported that the old building t
about ready to fall down. We are
oud to think that our honorable t
hool board are taking eaough inter
t in the rural districts to help to lift q
EN- up on an equal with the little t
WINS and villages of our county. We
y, let the good work go on. |
Well, for fear we may worry We edi-
RS and the readers of the good Old :
sliable, we had better close. G
