A GOOD SEND OFF
FOR TENNESSEE
Knoxville Sentinell]

More automobiles were sold j,
Tennessee laot oar than IN an!
other State in the South excep
Texas. Those who are accus
toned to indulge in knocks or
their home State ought to think
over this fact. The purchase Of
automobiles indicates the rela.
tive prosperity of communities
it indicates how up-to-date are
the people.
The fact that there is nothing
the matter with Tennessee, ex-
cept we have an uncommoniy
large crop of pessimists, along
with the weeds. 1t has gotten
to be the custom to depreciate
our own State and it seems hard
to break US of it. There are
many points in which Tennessee
leads in the South. Tennessee
has a larger number of neigh
bors than any other State of the
Union. 1t lies right in t h e
south central section. So COM
parsons may be made with all
fairness. No one Of its eight Sis
ter commonwealth has as beau
tiful topography, as diversified
and as fertile soil, as great min
ere. and timber resources, as
salubrious and healthy climate
and as homogeneous people of
Anglo-Saxon stock as Tennessee.
Our own state can compare
notes with any of our sisters and
show greater accomplishments
for its size and greater possibili-
ties. 1t leads in the south in ed
ucation, having more higher IN
situations of learning and better
normal schools, summer schools
and agricultural institutions and
larger per capita of the scholas-
tic population In the public
schools. Tennessee being the
first state in the south to adopt
effective laws for compulsory ed
ucation. Tennessee has shown a
more progressive disposition in
its politics, The voters are less
hidabound and more indepen-
dent in their thinking and have
their state government
to 6. greater extent than any of
our neighbors. The diversified
ton of crops in Tennessee is an
immense factor of advantage.

A Human Freak.

A baby boy having two dis
tinct heads, two separate and
well-formed bodies, with but one
pair of lungs and one pair of
arms, was born to a family in
Southwest Memphis recently,
according to DR.. ]. Hugh Carter,
of that city. 1t lived twenty
four hours.
1T had two hearts and practi-
cally all of its principal organs
were in pairs. | estimated that
one body weighed about 8 pounds
the other about 6. The two
were absolutely separate, being
joined only at the hips. One
was slightly better formed than
the other" said DR.. Carter.

Drouths and crop failure are
rare and there are so many kinds
of crops that a failure in one
does not effect the state as a
whole. Tennessee is not only a
cotton state but it also leads this
part of the south in corn and
wheat, stock, poultry and in 9TH
er respects. More important
still, however, in the mountains
of East Tennessee are the coal
and iron, the zinc, the copper,
the marble and building stone
which will make this some day
the greatest industrial center of
the United States and of the
world. There is a greater rain
fall in the mountains of East
Tennessee than in any other Sec
ton of the United States, except
on the northwest Pacific slope.
These waters rushing down our
mountain sides form the streams
which give Tennessee a capacity
in ro-elect,ic power unequal
ed by any other southern state.
They fill our rivers, giving US
more navigable waterways than
other surrounding states.
The Tennessean is not driven
from his state by the heat of
summer or cold of winter. He
can find within it's borders the
climate of the Mississippi delta
or Canada. 1t has been truly |
said that So rich is Tennessee in
agricultural and mineral resour-
ces that wall might be built
about the state a thousand feet
high and every product for the
of life and the giving
Of pleasure and comfort might
easily be produced for the bene-
it of it's citizens without any i'm
whatever. 1t is land
With milk and honey blessed"
Great is Tennessee! And would
hat its own people were more
frequently its prophets. The
tate which has given the nation
hree presidents may justly have
ride in itself. The above might
'e continued indefinitely. This
will do as a starter. Let other
ewspapers follow suit.

vile.

On the morning of August 9Th,
1914 the Death Angel visited the
home of Lee Turberville and
took from them their beloved
mother after a long illness. She
leaves six children to mourn her
death, four sons and two daigh-
ters, Mrs. Hill, Miss Anna, Ben.
Lee, Call and Murray.
1t is sad to give her up, but
God knew best. Children, be
prepared to meet her in the
sweet beyond where parting and
grief will come no more.
She was a consistent member
of the Methodist church, a loyal
friend and neighbor and loved
by all who knew her.
