nations before the Tennessee State
Board of Pharmacy. Out of a class of
thirt.v-five. sixteen passed and Harry
Smiths average was at the top. In
the next examinations preceding the
one taken last week, only six out of a
class OF AZ, were able to pass the exam
ination and nearly all uf those who
passed in last weeks examination. ex-
ccpting the Smith boys, had been up
before and failed TO pass, all Of which
speaks very highly for the efforts of the
local young men.
The reports which have just been re-
ceived show that Harry passed with
an average OF 81 while George passed
with an average of 20. This entitled

nineteen years must wait two years be-

Newport can now boast of the pref
tlest deco rated Masonic lodge room in
the state In fact, 0ne OF the prettiest in
the South. Ofcourse the lodge room
hereis not temple, but II stands FIST
among the lodge rooms. Newport
Lodge No. 234, also has another dis
tinction as it's percentage of gain dur
ing the year of 1912 was greater than
that of any other lodge in the state of
Tennessee. When the year was begun
the lodge had membership of II, and
during the year fifteen new members
were added. Other lodges had greater
total increase but none compared with
Newport in percentage.
The Masonic hall is beautifully To-
Gated and the members of Lodge 234
long have had a dream OF making it
one of the show places of the section,
but these plans have not been form
ulated. Instead a building committee
for the past two months have consider
er the decorating and furnishing of the
lodge room proper, with the result that
an expenditure of several hundred
dollars has given the lodge something
of which they can be proud. The com
mittee is composed of Carl r. Babb,
f. S. Early, }. M. Jones, and j. +.
Hedrick.
A platform was erected around the
entire room, giving space for chairs on
which the members are 10 sit during
the session of the lodge. The floor has
been carpeted with heavy dark limo
lium of a drab color. The room has
been'linished in mahony and the paper
is brown, with columns Of white stand
ing out prominent. The ceiling cen
| tains decorations are Masonic, with The
square and compass and emblems
showing in each section. The room re-
presents King Soloman's temple, and
behind the chair of the Worshipful
Master is scene, showing the temple
the effect being that of a window lead

PEACEMAKER ALSO SHOT
Report Says That Rolen and
Lloyd Miller Had a Dispute
About Store Account and That
Miller Followed Rolen With a
Gun, and in the Struggle Over
the Gun, the Shooting Took
Place.

Jake Rolen who lives on the edge of
the Cooke county line in the first dis
trict, near the store of RUDE Davis,
was probably fatally wounded and
Nat Pressnel was shot through the
thigh, in a struggle with Lloyd Miller,
clerk at the Davis store, Saturday
afternoon. Rolen was shot in the front
of the neck, the bullet ranging down
ward and lodging in his body.
Reports of the affair differ, butt is
SAID that Rolen and Miller had some
sort of a dispute about an account at
the Davis store and that Rolen was
trying to get home when he was fol-
lowed by Miller, who had an automatic
revolver in his hand. Rolen clinched
with Miller and Pressnel ran up to
prevent the shooting, SO it is said, but
two shots were fired, one by Miller as
he was holding the gun above Rolen's
head, with Rolen trying to force his
arm and the gun away. The OCCASION
ed the downward range of the shot.
The shooting created considerable
excitement in that sectiou, as it was
seen from the first that Rolen's injury
was a serious one, and in fact DR.. Girls
by who attended held forth but slight
hope for the wounded man. Pressnel's
injury was slight, although painful.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Cureton went to
the scene Monday, and spent Monday
night on the scene. He made no arrest
as Miller was not to be found. He
said that. in his opinion Rolen had a
chance to get we'll.

the first supplies. gotten into Dayton
after the breaking of the levee came
from Richmond. The railroad and
traction line between the two cities
were paralized by bridge and track
washouts and the relief committee
realized that the only possible way to
get food and clothing to the starving,
suffering people Of Dayton was by en-
ploying test cars to carry the sup
plies. Even expert automobile men
shook their heads at this suggestion
but Superintendent Erman Smith Of
the Westcott factory organized his now
famous flying squadron and within
day after the breaking of the levee
had his cars in the outskirts of the
inundated city. From that time on
some Of the cars were kept busy trans
porting supplies from Richmond to
Dayton, while others were used by the
Dayton relief committee in that city.

work of the light cars Of the Westcott
Motor Car company's flying squadron

when bridges were out, roads just

me that small but powerful and COM

CLEAN OF THE EMERALD.

ito Brilliant Green Light Has No Rival
on Land or Sea.
Interesting" said gem expert, sis
the word that most persons apply to
an emerald. There is only one other
jewel which shares this quality, and
that is the opal, which at it's best has
also green lights, although, Of course,
they are entirely different from those
of an emerald. The reason that makes
an emerald interesting apart from its
beauty and value is the same that
makes the woman with green eyes the
most interesting of her sex. It's a
light that never was on land or sea; it's
a brilliant CLEAN that gives the accent
to any sort of costume and any sort OF
complexion. 1t isn't like a sad green
or so called artistic green The
emerald is the soul Of life, light and
beauty"
The emerald has the advantage of
being one of the most becoming of
gems. Light haired beauties claim il
for their own, for they declare that
nothing else, not even the sapphire. &C.
centuates their delicate fairness so eff.
fectively. Brunettes are adorable in
emeralds, especially the brunette with
brilliant coloring. Strangely enough,
blue eyes, instead Of being dimmed
by the jewel, gather fire and depth
from its close neighborhood. They
take on delectable green blue CLEAN
and seem much larger than when the
emeralds are not near. AS for the au.
burn haired beauty, it is her stone par
excellence.

which the flywheel acts as the arma-
case of the U. S. l.. starter. This lat
ter method of electric starting has
been adopted by the larger models of
the Studebaker line to be found at the
local show. Among those starting sys-
TENS using the two former methods
of starting are the "Delco" and the
Gray and Davis" two of the leading
electric starters in use On 1913 cars.
"The Westinghouse" system is one
which was only brought out" a few
weeks ago. but which is expected to
have a large place in the 1914 mod
els. 1t follows the same general lines
of the Gray and Davis" system.
The gas" starter is not without it's
devotees. Several of the cars at this
years local show will be equipped
with this starting system, it is said.
Advances Rapid.
Last year the electric starters and
lighting systems were to be found on
only one or two cars at the Marion
show. There were no electric systems
but one and it was developed to a
comparatively low standard of eff
cheney. But this year the Marion Au-
tomobile show will see electric start
ers that seldom if ever fail to start on
first trial, and "gas" starters that are
equally efficient, it is said There has
been great progress in the develop
ment of the starting and lighting sys-
TENS during the 1913 season and there
is expected to be even greater pro-
gress during the coming season, as
manufacturers learn the faults of their
systems and correct them.
