State OF Tennessee, Obion County. =
An inquisition holden ia Union City, in

oath day Of July, 1914, before S. r.
Bratton, Justice OF the Peace, acting
coroner of said county, upon the body
Of George Wehman, there being dead,
by the jurors whose names are hereto
subscribed, who upon their oaths do
say, to the best OF their knowledge and
belief, that the party found in the we'll
two miles west of Union City on the
oath day OF July was the body OF George
Wehman. We further state that we
are positive that he came to his death
by gunshot or pistol wound on the
back OF his head We further state
from the best OF our knowledge and be-
lief, in accordance with all the evidence

Young man. He, like most Germans,
vas frugal, Industrious, and exception
lily strong as business man. He en-
ragged in the hardware business and

ion OF country. It was practically the
irst business enterprise OF the kind, and |
" his methods and the many ways ia
which he beiriended his customers, Her.
nan Dietzel was esteemed as one OF our ,
eading citizens. The Dietzel hardware
tore in Union City inspired in later I

Oxford, the Eternal.

THE impression oxford. Eng. gave an Americas
girl, Miss Martha Fowlkes, Of San Antonio, Tex.
Oxford with its domes and towers
gardens and sparkling streams, may vel
cause one to exclaim-the city beautiful
the Eternal
The traveller, tired and worn out from
sightseeing, with a tugging at the heart
love and longing for his very own, hi
loved ones across the sea, and sight o
his home town, on catching a glimpse
Of this ancient city-forgets-and ceases
to struggle, for in this peaceful scene
comes holy silence that at once
soothes and Gains the soul.
No city breathes purer atmosphere,
especially for her young, the promising
youths otethe land! Here the veneer
able walls at whispered ideals, and
sang nope, fSAe and honor to scores OF
noble sons from many countries-yes
since the Middle Ages, continue to con-
vey messages OF learning, ways to find
the best in all things in this old world
of ours.
From an architectural standpoint,
High" is considered the finest street in
all Europe. One is struck with the
stateliness OF it all--the great sweep OF
colleges, beautified by spire here,
dome there and rich foliage always as
background. The visitor should never
fail to study, THE stream like winnings
OF that glorious street, immortalized by
Wordsworth. He should walk up High
Street and pause, moment at least, at
Queens College. At this point Il
High" the view is the finest From
Queens the eye wanders to the charm
ing porch Of All Souls, beyond which
loom the spiral columns OF st. Mary's,
then that of ALL Saints Church and
Brasenose College.
John Richard Green has said: THE
one place to study Oxford is in Oxford
herself; walk down the High tells
more Of its actual life than all the
books and treatises in the world 4. Ok
ford is in truth neither historic, nor
theological, nor academical. 1t is sim
ply young. The first impression one
receives is the true one; half the faces
one meets are the faces of boys; every
where there is the freedom, the genial
ity, the noise Of big school," This is
indeed tsue. There is so much youth,
Joy and happiness in Oxford In fact
one forgets her age till the mind begins
% dwell on her wonderful old buildings,
ler many colleges. Here we must go
pack to the Middle Ages. The cupola
II Christ Church is the work OF Wren,
he towers Of All Souls bear traces Of
till later hand-then there are the Nor
nan Castle and even Saxon remnants.
Any visitors to Oxford can under
tand and appreciate William Hazlitt
when he said: Rome has been called
the Sacred City; might not our Oxford
'e called so tooY There is an air about
resonant Of Joy and hope; il speaks
With thousand tongues to the heart;
greets the eager gaze from afar with
spires and pinnacles adorned,
bat shine with an eternal light as with
he lustre OF setting suns. J"
Its streets are paved with the names
learning that can never wear out; its
reen quadrangles breathe the silence
I thought conscious of the weight OF
innumerable after the past,
| l0ftiest aspirations for the ftsture. o

The Military Academy will have
four men on the road actively this
summer canvassing for new students.
They win cover not only this State,
but all Of the Southern states and
many of those in the north"
So said Col. Joseph H. Spearing
this morning in speaking of the
campaign that will be waged this
summer for new students for the
academy. He was very much disap-
pointed If there were not at least
125 students present when school
opened in September
I'm addition to keeping these men
on the road, there will be sent out
from the Office about 1000 folders
of 80 pages each, which will be mail
ed to prospective patrons. They are
handsomely Autographed and contain
pictures and views of the campus,
the buildings, and the students.
Whenever letter of inquiry in re-
gard to the school is received from
any to whom these folders have
been sent, a catalogue and letter
will be mailed.
Inquiries in regard to the school
and reservations for rooms have al
ready begun to arrive. Nearly all
of the cadets who did not graduate
in June will be back, and we are
expecting very large increase in
addition to these. With the CAM
paign for new students, which will
be carried on both by correspond
ence from the Office and by the four
men in the field, shall be very,
very much disappointed if we do not
have full school this fall
Col. Anderson, the new head
master, has arrived and will be &C
lively identified with the school
henceforth. He has been engaged in
school work for many years, and l
think he will be a most valuable
acquisition to the faculty, which is
now complete"
Col. Spearing has been receiving
many compliments upon the new
catalogue, which all who have seen
declare to be the handsomest that
has ever been published by the
school. It is an invaluable adver-
Using asset, as well as most hand
some and elaborate literary produc-
ton.

WASHINGTON, June 21.--The ad-
ministration proposal to sell the bat
tleships Idaho and Mississippi to
Greece, already approved by the sen
ate. was passed today BY tho house
NV vote of III to 81. One dread.
naught will be built With the pro
oeedA
The action of the house allows the
bouse managers in conference to
agree to the senats amendment, with
alterations, providing specific appro-
nriatlons for the new dreadnaught
which will cost $7,s00,J00. exclusive
of armor and armament. The PROMO
sal provides immediate funds of
s2635,oOO to begin work on the YES
sci as soon as the sale IS Consun-
mated.
The proposal was agreed to in
spite of the charge by republicans on
the floor that the sale meant "entang-
ling European alliances" and would
involve the United States in the Bal
kan troubles.
Representative Padgett declared
that the admnistratio believed the
sale of the two vessels would have
tendency Ito preserve the Ieace" be-
tween the nations involved, and as,
serted that he knew OF no protest
against the sale being made by either
country.
This is spleadid thing for the
navy and I am naturally much graft
fed that the house concurred with
the senate IN ac;a lting the depart
ments recoTmelda.ii and thus
taking advantage OF this unusual or
portunity. In the stead of these two
vessels the navy will obtain super
dreadnaught Of the :dost ad, anced
type, such as the Pennsylvania, and
not unequal to four vessels OF the
type of the Mississippi or Idaho. This
ship will carry main battery OF
twelve 14-inch guns as against the
eight Finch ms r.ied by the Mis-
sissippi and the Ilaho combined.
She will nave speed of 20.5 knots
as compared with the maximum OF
Ills knots attained by tha Mjssis-
sippi and Idalo. Through the concen-
tration of her big guns In four ter
rets and use of oil for. fuel, the will
require 800 men, whereas EACH Of the
old ships requice Gro wof 200 men.
"Battleship 10. 80 has not yet been
named and this years naval appro-
priation bill authorizes the conftruc-
ton Of two new battleships which,
with this new ship, will total four
unchristened young leviathans.
Therefore on this coming Fourth OF
July Uncle SAN will have the pleas
ing paternal duty Of choosing names
for his first set of bankruptcies.
