The Dance Season.

They used to call it springtime, not
so very long ago,
When the breeze was warm and pleasant
and the grass began to grow;
When the sky was softly smiling and
the wind that swept along
Seems to dream of summer roses as it
sang its little song.
Now We find the sunbeams dancing round
each cloud that lightly glides.
The graceful leaves are swaying and the
river dips and slides.
No more well tell of springtime, when
the year Is in Its prime.
Let us name the season over. Let us
call it "tangotime."

oosAS as follows, which tells
of particularly Objectionable form OF
business:
"A court-martial held in this city, of
which Col. George w. Gile, 9th Regiment

using illegal furloughs signed with the

at Camp Parole, near Annapolis, Md.
Upon the evidence produced before the
court the parties were found guilty and
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged

pay and allowances. and confined at hard

In The Star of April -, 1864. is a news
article indicating that the policeman $
lot was not a happy one
POllcemen'S fifty years ago. For some
Dn time past the members
4oof ray of the metropolitan force
had been trying to get an increase of
their pay, which was $50 month, of
which the government paid $40 and the
corporation $40. The Star said that the
Senate committee in reporting the civil
appropriation bill'' cut down the police
allowance from $4,000 to $4,000. certain
salaries being increased 20 per cent and
Washington, Georgetown and the county
required to pay half the expenses. The
Star said:
1.-The increase of the pay of the super
intendent Is $500; the sergeants stay as
they were, and the patrolmen are in
creased over the left. Instead of getting
$50 as at present they will get but $4S
ner month. The patrolmen have called
a meeting for next Tuesday night to
consider what course to pursue under
the circumstances. The sum given by the
CORPORATION was a gratuity and increased
the patrolmen's pay to $50. The patrol
men hold that If this city is subject to
the payment of twelve-fifteenths of the
exnense it cannot in justice to itself con-
Time the gratuity, as the sum required
would oyerrun the revenue. Were mem-
hers of Congress required to support
family on $4S a month they would be
inclined to think themselves very badly

Fire At Gem Theatre

On Monday night fire broke out
in the building occupied by the new
picture show, H A. Ragle & Co.,
Proprietors. This building has just
been fitted up with new seats and
fixtures-in fact it is yet unfinished
but when done will be one of the
Incest picture show buildi, gs to be
found any where. tt fire broke
out at the steps used to go up on
the platform near where the sheet
is erected. 1t burnt the steps some
of the columns and damaged the
paper. Extent of damage about
5000. Opinion is divided as to
cause of fire-some think it was OF
incendiary origin while others think
it was caused by the electric wires.
This fire if it had gotten started
would have caused the whole North
side of Main Street from Mckinney s
Store to the Times Office corner, and
possibly more. No telling where it
would have stopped. The incen-
diary idea is conceived from the
fact that the wires had not been
used during the day, and the rooms
swept clean and no fire anywhere.
1t is said the fire was discovered
and extinguished by men from the
Aluminium Co., who quit work in
the night-the fore part of the night
shift. 1t took some time to extin-
guish the flames. Maryville should
by ali means have a night watchman
The town is too large to remain with
out one any longer. The class of
people are continually changing and
the criminal element will come here
seeking work.
Give us a watchman before our
homes and places of business are de-
stroyed by fire and broken into.
The officers are investigating and
we hope if any one is guilty of SC
foul an act they will be caught and
severely punished,

delivering their goods to their GUS

A fine Street

On Tuesday evening athe editor
of the TIMES in company with w.
L. Webster made a trip to the plant
of the Aluminium Company of
America in Mr.. Webster's automo-
bile. We went out past the laundry
and the store of Walker johnson,
out the new road which they are
now macadamizing. This is one of
the best pieces of road in Blount
County, and the Aluminium Co., is
doing all the work at their own ex.
pense. As we few along the pike
we could not help but think what a
great change had taken place in the
last few years. If we had been blind
folded and taken out there in the
dark, we would have hardly known
where we were.
Our people do not realize yet what
an immense industry the Aluminium
Company is, and they haye hardly
commenced to build yet. From a
sleepy little home town of few
hundred inhabitants Maryville is
now hustling city of several thous-
and inhabitants and growing at a
great rate. In five years we will
have at least from 10000 to $4,000
inhabitants.

The Issuing of these Ad-

Monday was a very important
day in the history os Blount County
1t WAS the day for the Quarterly
Term of County Court. We must
say that we have a progressive
County Court, composed of men
who stand for progress and pros
perity. They voted to issue $40, 900
worth of bonds to aid in building
High Schools in our county. The
State also aids every county which
is willing to help itself. No one
doubts the fact that High Schools
are needed in Blount County, es-
pecially through the county districts
Maryville has good schools, why
not other points in our county get
the benefit of good schools the same
as the children of Maryville. We
need four High Schools in the county
one for each section of the county,
but this fund will hardly be adequate
to meet this demand, But this is a
step in the right direction.

shall be done, and the advocates of
