We unloaded a car load Of Ford
touring cars on last Monday, and
sold the last one Thursday morning,
but a telegram Just received from
the company says another car load
left Detroit on the LIST, which should
arrive by about the 10th, but If you
want prompt delivery, better place
your order in advance Of arrival of
cars, as delivering of Ford cars, as
some one remarked, is about like
getting mail at general delivery
window at local postoffice, If you
want prompt service, better get in
line, and hold your place. Why buy
a big heavy car which is expensive
to operate, when you can buy a
Ford, which will do all that any
other car can do, and much that
some of them will not, and a house
and lot, or a small farm for the diff
ference in price, and soon save
enough in cost of upkeep and op-
Grating expenses to buy some more
real estate, or start bank account,
and be independent. Think of these
things before buying car, ask
those who own cars of the different
types, what it costs to keep up, and
run their cars, and if you value
money, you will without further
parley, buy a Ford.

Saturday afternoon the police
of Knoxville arrested McCreary at
a boarding house 112 South Cent
raj street. About $3.50 worth of
the stolen property was found on
him and it was identified later by
Mr.. Glenn who went to Knoxville
with a deputy sheriff and Satur-
day night McCreary was brought
to Newport and lodged in jail to
await trial.
McCreary is a noted crook and
his name was coupled with the
gang was operated between Mar
shall and Morristown two years
ago and for which connection
numerous boys got into serious
trouble. McCreary was the ring
leader and the boys of the differ
ent towns would be used to do
the work while McCreary would
get away the swag.
A few weeks ago McCreary rob-
bed house in Asheville, N. c.,
and was later arrestedin Knoxville.
He was taken back to Asheville
by the authorities but after getting
off the train at Asheville he
escaped, and although wearing
hand cuffs at the time made good
his escape. He was evidently
beating it back to Knoxville when
he stopped off here for his raid on
the John Glenn store. He admit
ted the robbery when Is bracelets
several brooches, stick pins, neck
laces, safety razors ETC., were
found on his person and he stated
that he preferred to face trial in
Tennessee to North Carolina.

been decided how many nights will

borrowed from our library up to

are not soon returned, that we
will have to look over the librar-
ian's record for the past few years

church organization has been
moved away from Pisgah's Hill,
and | also know that all such
enterprises as a grave yard, unless
under the care and upkeep of a
corporation, will get to be old and
neglected, aud | don't suppose the
city Of Newport would want to
obligate itself to keep up both the
old and the new cemetery.
However, have decided that
the court plan is the better thing
to do. Now let us reason little
further. When a friend or a loved
one -dies-when the spirit goes
out of the body-it is left a lifelesS
lump of clay, unconscious as to
material things. We have done
all that we can for them, except
to care for this lump of clay.
What difference will it make with
the eternal intreSt' of our loved
ones if we give them no burial at
all, since so many of our fellow
men receive no burial whatever.
If we fall on the mountain top or
valley low, or ocean deep, God is
able to pick up our dust when the
proper time comes. Well, then
why spend SO much money, labor
and time building sepulchers,
tombs, monuments. 1t is because
of the Lord being that is within us.
There is a principle born within
that is love and affection, and we,
like the nation that have gone on
before, we are anxioas to bestow
this affection upon our friends
and loved ones.

Clark was the first man to offer
his services, volunteering to raise
a company in Tennessee. On
April 18th he sent a telegram to
President Wilson, offering his SER
vices and the services of at least
one hundred men.
The action of Mr.. Clark indicates
that the reputation of Tennessee
as the Volunteer State will again
be sustained, if put to the test.
Since the defeat of the British at
Kings Mountain, the Mountain
eerS OF East Tennessee have main
tanned a prestige not excelled by
any section of the Union. AS SOL
dlerS they are willing to sacrifice
everything for the Stars and
Stripes and the cause they espouse.

Clark's company are the direct
decendents of the men who
fought at Kings Mountain, and
are again ready to uphold the
prestige of the Stars and Stripes.

WOMAN KILLED
BY ROLLING LOG
Mrs. Dan Colwell Meets Sud-
den Death at Del
Rio.
WAS SAVING WOOO WITH SON
Log Slipped From Supports and
Rolled Upon Her and Pushed
Her Back Against a Tree Where
it is Presumed That Her Neck
Was Broken, Thus Causing In
slant Death.

Crushed beneath a rolling log
Mrs. Dan Colwell who lived on
the farm of j. H. Burnett above
Del Rio, suffered a shocking death
last Tuesday.
Mrs. Colwell and a Young thir-
teen year old son were saving a
log for the purpose of gettiug
some wood for her fire, the horse
on which the log was placed being
on an incline. Mrs. Colwell was
on the lower side and when the
log slipped from its fastenings, she
was so intent upon her work that
she did not have time to spring
out of the way and as a result the
log rolled upon her and knocked
her against tree.
Death came instantly and as it
did not seem possible that the log
could have killed her, it is pre-
sumed that her neck was broken
when she was pushed back
against the tree. The funeral
serviced were held Thursday
morning.

to take help on examinations? We
think it is more wrong to take
help than to give it, because it is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.
AS the closing of school nears,
we have feeling come-over-us-
a feeling that cannot be described
"a feeling mingled with JOY for
the coming of vacation; with re-
gret for the anxieties caused our
teachers; with admiration for the
splendid Faculty; with pride for
the students who studied and
those who didn't but after all we
thank our teachers for all the
trials they have endured for our
sakes, { and the patience we have
exercised too.)
Miss Lois Dubois, formerly of
the Newport High School, but
now of the johnson City Normal.
visited us last week.
Haven't you ever heard people
say, well, | think that teacher
has an easy timer" Well, we have
many times. But if you are one
of those people, you are bad
ly mistaken, because a teacher
has a pretty hard time. That's
why they need a vacation.) Do
you know what makes the
wrinkles on a teachers face, what
causes their hair to turn gray and
why they are always worried ? It's
somebody son or somebody's
daughter that persists in worrying
their teacher. A teacher has a
good many things to do. 1t re-
quires many virtues to be a teach
er-patience, justice and diplom-
acy combined with unpartiality,
and countless other things. Just
think how much REINFORCED
patience teacher must have to
do half as well as he or she does!

Dear Editor.
see in the Times of last weeks
issue, that the Honorable County
Court of Cooke County, Tennes-
see, has placed themselves on
record by appropriating $500 of the
county's money for the purpose of
the better caring for the remains
of Uncle, T. S. German and wife,
who now lie in the old Pisgah's
cemetary, and by appointing a
committee with the power to pur-
chase a lot in the Union Cemetery,
and to arrange a burial place for
their remains there. Also to pre-
pare and beautify their graves on
said lot by erecting a suitable
monument to their honor and
memory.
On first thought, | didn't think
| would like the idea of moving
them away from the family group
where they now lie. But from my
own knowledge, and from what |
haye,been informed, the graves of
uncle and aunt, and all the family
plot is in a crude, rough and un-
kept condition. | am aware of
the fact that all the ground in the
old cemetery has been taken up
and more can be added that is
practical for burying purposes, |
am also aware of the fact that the
