Motorcycling.

On a motorcycle trip from Den.
yer Colorado to Florida, via
Chicago, Mr.. and Mrs. j. J.
Wood of Denver, spent Thursday
night in Tracv City.
The writer had q pleasant chat
with the couple and being him
self well acquainted in Denver,
the conversation was delightfully."-
reminiscent of old times.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wood stated that
thus far they had enjoyed their
outing immensely, having made
stop overs at Topeka, Kansas
City, Chicago, st. Louis, Louiville
Nashville and Tracy City.
They expect to winter either at
Jacksonville or Palm Beach and
then motor home again by a
different route.
If perfect health and spirit is
any recommendation then motor
cycling must be delightful pas
time.

DESERVING TRIBUTE
To Capt. ". {. Byers Our Retiring
Postmaster.

Now that the political war in
our state is over, and with the
trust we have in the ability of
| the men that our people have
seen fit to select to steer our
state on to prosperity for the
next few years, lest we forget to
to do proper homage to our most
worthy postmaster, let us while
reminicent, not forget that
Tracy City has been excep.
tionally blessed in this re-
spect for many, many years.
Well may we say. "Well done
thou good and faithful servant"
for to Capt. w. K. Byers the peo-
pie of our town owe a debt of
gratitude that is indeed greater
than many would presume.
Have YOU ever thought of the un-
just knocks handed him by the
"Knocker Club" of which doubt.
less you have been a mem Der?
Were we all properly informed
as to the requirements of his
official dnty, then to degree we
would understand that the life of
those filling this office are not
likened unto q bed Of roses by
any means. Have you noticed
for these many years the prompt
ness with which this grand old
man meets the mail on its arrival,
that he may assert 1t, that you
could secure yours as soon as
possible? Have you noticed his
smooth even disposition, never
harassed though hundrede of
questions are asked him each day?
This beautiful characteristic is
originally his own, for there are
but few OF US that could fill this
office and retain this even COM
posure.
The salary of this office is in
deed meager one, when the
amount of labor is considered.
Yet, who of us have heard com
plaint2 How few of us that
have extra work thrust upon us
that will accept it without extra
compensation.
Yes Tracy City has been ex-
ceptional fortunate for a number
of years in having the Captain
as postmaster, and to him we
owe thanks for his faithful SER
vice in every way.

Shook Ties SeWanee.

In marked contrast to the
treatment offered the members
of the Shook School football team
at McMinnville was their recep-
tion at Sewanee where a royal
reception was given them and
everything possible was done for
their welfare.
the game started by the S. M.
AS kicking off to Shook who
advanced the ball 80 yards and
lost 1T on downs, but later re-
gained same and advanced it go
yards on 3 downs for touch
down, Barnes scoring the touch
down. Shook, however, failed to
kick a goal. The LIST quarter
ended with ball in Shocks pos
session on s. M. AS 20 yard
line.
In the 2nd quarter Shook lost
the ball on downs on the 80 yard
line and the s. M. A. s advanced
the ball 40 yards for a touch
down but failed TO kick goal.
s, M. A. IS kicked the ball off
in the End half and it rolled out
of bounds and was brought back
to the 20 yard line. Shook ad-
vanced the ball 10 yards and
punted, losing the ball to S. M.
A. who advanced the ball Is
yards and punted and Shook re-
gained possession of it later los
ing it again on downs.
The 4th quarter started with
the ball in possession of s. M. A.
on their 40 yard line but they
lost it to Shook on a fnmble.
Shook then fumbled, also, and
5. M. A. regained the ball but
lost it on downs and Shook held
the ball on the 30 yard line when
the game was called, the score
being 6 to 6.
S. M. A. umpire and referee
officlated at the game and gave
the fairest decisions ever made
at game in which Shook School
has thus far participated.
The punting of 5. M. A. was
exceptionally good and the play
ing on the part of both teams was
most spirited from start to finish.
The Shook Team extends their
hearty thanks to their rivals for
the splendid reception which was
given them and for the fair de-
cisions rendered.

Spirited Auction Sale.


The merchandise stock w, S.
Sprouse was disposed of during
the past few days at public auc,
ton. The stock for the most
part brought good prices, in some
cases being bid in at more than
its retail value.
The sale was marked by spirit
ed bidding and much good natur-
ed raillery. There were many
numerous Incidents took place
during IT'S progress, as far in
stance when large quantities of
extracts and like concoctions
were eagerly bid in, it was good
naturally suggested that it was
an easy way of securing alcohol.
When on another occasion a
large quantity of peppermint
candy was bid in, the auctioneer
announced that it's purchaser
ought to be the most popular
young man in town, there being
enough of it TO temporarily
sweeten the disposition of everv
girl in Tracy City. 1t was also
suggested when quantities of
chewing tobacco was auctioned
off chat it would force some of
the purchasers to leave off
Chewing the rag" for a time to
manipulate their jaws to better
purpose.
The writer would offer the
respectful suggestion that the
gentleman who bid in immense
quantities of soap could use some
of it to advantage in scrubbing
some of the hogs which wander
at will around the city aud
thereby rid them of the fleas
which refuse to content them
selves with feasting on pork but
Jump off whenever an inviting
stranger passes by and vindic-
lively set about to drive him to
distraction. The writer has
actually counted over sixty scars
on his anatomy where the pesti-
ferrous insects get in their tiendish
work and can truthfully state
that no matter how much right
eousness he had been possessed
of he could not have slept the
sleep of the just until he had
succeeded in Kidding himself of
their obnoxious presence.

ELOQUENT Sermon
On Education and Responsibility De.
Iivered at Episcopal Church.

Delivering his sermon in a
conversational tone, but with an
intense and earnest manner
which carried conviction and
visibly impressed his congrega-
tion, the Reverend DR.. W. W.
Dawson gave powerful dis
course touching on the meaning
and purpose of education as
applied to mortal Life, at the
Episcopal Church on Sunday
morning.
With remarkable clarity he
traced mans progress from the
beginning of things as described
in the allegerical story of the
Garden of Eden down to the pre-.
sent day. DIR. Dawson stated
that one of the grandest concep-
tions of life from human stand
point was the theory of evolution,
which in its last analysis, meant
progress. He tersely defined
Education as Mental Develop
ment, by which development
mankind is able to discriminate
between right and wrong, and be-
cause of which power of discrim-
ination mankind Is compelled to
assume a personal responsibility
for his actions in the sight of his
Creator. The DIR. stated that no
man should classify sin when
Judging his fellow man except as
it applied to the needs of society
in a governmental sense, because
every man being personal respon-
sible to God, was compelled to
decide for himself what is right
or wrong; that Life was given us
for the purpose of Education or
mental culture; that personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In the way Of
commercial supremacy or SOCIAL
supremacy could never compen-
safe us for the loss of our i'm.
mortal soul that we would have
to leave everything else behind
US, but our soul, when we cross
the "River of Death" which
flows between the Land of Nor
tally and Immortality; that our
souls would be the only part of
us which will be held accountable
on the Day of Judgement, and
that it behooved US to be less
concerned about material prog
ress, than Spiritual Progress
While the writer differed with
DR.. Dawson on many points,
he was able to accept the really
essential truths which he Sc
clearly set forth, and is thankful
that he was given the opportunity
to listen to one of the most mast
erful expositions of the subject
discussed he had ever heard.
