BANK is IN ITS NEW
ATTRACTIVE Bull DING

The latter part of last week was
moving day for the Bank Of Mary
vile. All of the books, safes, safety
boxes and equipment of the institu-
ton were transferred to The new
building without event.
Maryville can be proud OF its new
bank. Not sry city in Tennessee the
size of Maryville, or three times the
size can show a mQre convenient, ar
tistic ard generally attractive home
than this one In addition to all
these feature7 there is an air of vel
come in the lines of the bank that
makes one feel at nome as sem as he
enters The do)I.
The interior finish is splendid in
every detail. The fixtures are of
marble, brass and frosted glass Sim
plicity that adds dignity is apparent
in every line. Tie beamed ceiling,
fittingly completed with mission light
fixtures gives the room a most pleas
ing appearance.
Safety first" the slogan of the
railroads just a present has been
considered seriously in equipping the
bank. The steel safety deposit boxes,
secure in themselves, are ensco1sed in
a vault with q heavy steel cccr--pro-
lection from BURGLAR and fire. The
books are carefully guarded in anoth-
err constructed vault with q heavy
steel door, and the money j. doubly
guarded in i heavy steel safe with a
vault to which entrance must be made
by way Of a tine-locked steel door.
When the doJr Is shut at night no one
can enter tin the next morning when
the time clocks have run their course.
The cashiers office, directors room,
ladies' room, check desks and other
particulars have Deen worked out to
insure convenience, seclusion and
utility.
Any who have not taken occasion
tc visit the bank will be welcomed by
the officers and employees Of he in
stitution. 1t is worth visiting.

BLOUNT COUNTIAN SELLS
LAND FOR GOOD PRICE.

The following clipping from a re-
cent Sunday issue of the Los Angeles
Times tells Of the success of W. u.
Garner, son Of DR.. j. D. Garner,
who has been in California for the
last ten years.
When Mr.. Garner went to Cali
fornia he had ST. 900. With the money
he bought ranch and improved it.
By careful farming and intelligent
planning he established a place that
attracted such wide attention that he
was able to secure a flattering offer
for the place and this he accepted.
The land was bought at $50 an acre.
Following is what the Los Angeles
Times says ABOUT the deal.
"Chino, Jan. Cd One of the most
important reality deals recently re
corded in the Chino Valley was the
sale last week of the W. 0. Garner
ranch. The purchaser was A. q.
Hockensberry of Glendora, who trad
ed in an eighteen-acre orange grove
as part payment.
''The ranch, embracing IT'S acres,
all in alfalfa, is nine miles east of
Chino, bordering on Archibald az
enue. The price given, $4,000, fig
ures out little over $668 per acre,
the record price for alfalfa land in
this vicinity"
Garner bought the ranch nine
years ago, when the land was entirely
unimproved. With hard, consistent
work he brought the place UP to its
present valuable condition, selling it
for enough money to live comfortably
on the rest of his life. There is on
the property, one of the best irriga-
ting plants to be found in the valley"

DR.. George B. Stewart, President
of Auburn Theological Seminary
spoke to an appreciatiye audience in
the Polytechnic Chapel last Sal bath

kept q level head and pitched excellent
ball. Admission to these games Fri
day and Saturday will be 15c each.
Robert Sullinger a member of the
Senior Glass is out of school this week
with the big head. This is not caused
by being a Senior, nor on account of
his excellent grades for four years,

represent the class commencement
evening, but it is just pain old case
of double humps.
Mr. Edwards and VIM. Roberts
who have been out Of school for
few days will soon be back to their
accustomed places to the delight of
all
After two weeks absence from

MORE HOUSES NEEDED
Thirty Houses are Required to
Take Care Of the Employees
of the Aluminium Com
pany who want to
Move Families Here

When so many houses were started
last fall and SO many more WEI
built this spring there seemed to he
fear on the Part of people with
money that too many would be con
structed, but this is a mistake Mayo
Everett has been informed by Super
intendent V. C. Doerschuk that at
least twenty-five and perhaps thirty
houses are needed for employees Of
the Aluminium Company alone. Every
house that is il couse of construction
now is spoken for and yet thirty fla
miles need to be supplied.
All who have funds that can be
put into buildings can secure facts
from Mayor Everett or Superintend-
emit Doerschuk. We ought TO take
care of the Aluminium Company en-
ployees, and nothing will make Mary
vile more attractive to them than to
give them pleasant homes

spection It IL dihicult for the present
generation to conceive OF the sup
pressing impositions on the negro fifty
short years ago. Suddenly loosed
from bondage. the race was practically
helpless. with no spirit for initiative.
and with native intelligence stunted
and blunted by long years Of servitude.
Left cropping about in the densest ig-
norance. they soon set themselves TO
the work OF regeneration, helped. OF
course. by a sympathetic government.
II is remarkable what they have ac-
complished in the few years they have
applied themselves to perfecting their
citizenship.
To-day the descendant Of the chat
tel is buttressed with knowledge and
is the property owner. Once a servant.
he has become master. Improving
his opportunities. the bishops of his
church have attained to the culture of
the white prelate. The mind once
clouded with ignorance has been H.
lumined by education. and the chill
dren of the race are guided to wisdom
by instructors OF their own color. In
the Industrial life they have become
independent toilers. and in many of
the Southern States the slave has he
come the planter.
In the short time the shackIes OF
serfdom have been stricken from
them TO have raised up a Fred
erick Douglass. a Booker Wash
ington. a Paul Lawrence Dun
bar and others IS an eloquent
prophesy Of the future. Amid encour.
aging surroundings everywhere the
race has gone forward The family re-
lation and the sacredness OF the home
now firmly established. the present
generation can look back on that dark
night in their racial history with
thankfulness 20 the same God that
brought Israel safely out OF the vii.
derness. and with supreme gratitude
to the martyr President. who. like the
Moses OF the Israelites. led them out
OF Egyptian bondage.
