of them were ready with the Wit.
Ii some faltered in their delivery
or had to read their response, it
was not because of lack of ability
but because of excess emotion,
we are sure.
One remarkable thing about
the occasion was that there was
enough forms Of amusement to
go around and make everyone
happy and content, dancing
being easily the ruling favor
ite and if some Of the supposedly
strictly orthodox Young people
who attended, forgot their church
vows and yielded to the sensuos
appeal Of the music and tripped
the light fantastic toe over the
floor, to its enchanting strains,
we are sure that the prayers of
the righteous, which, according
to "Holy Writ" ayaileth much,
when fervently offered as q pro-
pitiation for their sins, will Sc
cure them forgiveness.
Even the crickefs which, one
of our contemporaries placed in
the attic on former festive oc-
casion, on Friday night be-
came refractory, sneaked down
and waltzed around the floor
just like the humsns.
A hearty vote OF thanks was
unanimously extended to Mrs.
Tldman and Won Holzer for
their their very Important part
in bringing the affair to success
full issue.

quet contains the names of many
of our most popular people young

BANQUET OF VICTORY
Held at the Tidman House Friday
Night
BY THE SHOOK FOOTBALL TEAM.

1t matters not how young we
are, it matters not how old we
may be as measured by DAYS,
weeks, months and years: we all
of US have our moment of de-
lightful reminlsence, and such
moments. methinks, oftimes are
the happiest moments of our
lives.
There are various events which
transpire in our lives that bring
back such recollection when rev.
cry holds sway, and it is con-
cerning one joyful event which
transpired in Tracy Oity, that
the writer, although not permit
ted to be present in person, wishes
to express himself, for in spirit
he was there and imbibed the en-
thusiasm which such occasions
engender.
| On Friday night, at Tracy's
deservedly popular hotel, occur
ed celebration such as has sell
dom, if ever, transpired in this
city, when the members of the
Shook football team held a ban
quet to celebrate the victories
which they have achieved during
the present season. AS long as
memory shall exhist those who
were present on that festive occa-
sion, as they, in revery, live over
again those delightful hours,
shall thrift at the remembrance.
Every one of the three score or
more OF Tracy Oity's represen-
tative citizens who attended the
festivity forgot dull care and
gave themselves over to the jov-
Gus spirit which reigned trium-
plant.
Supper was served in the dining
room which was tastefully deco
rated with pennants, the purple
and gold which Shook has chosen
as it's emblematic colors, do
minating. Clever little menu
cards shaped like football were
at each plate and the menu was
as follows--Hot Shot Soup (the
name being very suggestive of
the "hot shot" poured in the
ranks of their rivals) McMinn-
vile Hash (suggestive of the
paltrv sort of hospitality which
| McMinnville hands to visiting
teams) Decherd Rolls (the writer
is not positive what smile would
be most striking here, SO leaves
it to those who have played or
visited there, to snggest) Marion

is not amiss because served as a

served at the end of generous

why Huntland gets the honor of

the menu) During the progress
of the banquet 7oluminous and

offered as chasers. Mr.. Anderson g

| Anderson we are informed,
stated that his sons had become
such football enthusiasts that
they even played the game over
in what should be the sileut
watches of the night, and in
their dreams bucked center,
tackled their imaginary oppo-
nents and made forward passes,
sometimes landing clean out in
the middle of the room in their
excitement and failed to appolo-
gize for disturbing the peace, for
which, being the prime cause for
their behaviour, Shook really

SHOOK OF COURSE
Won the Spirited Football Game Here
Thanksgiving.
SHOOK, l3. HUNTlAND, 0.

I! What's thatl you didn't see
that exciting contest between the
Huntland and Shook football
teams? Great Scott! what kept
you away? Did you receive an
imperative summons to court, or
was your absence due to the fact
that you erammed down so much
Thanksgiving dinner that you
hadn't ambition enough to mount
your mule or horse, climb into
your auto or carriage, or, lacking
any of the above mentioded forms
| of conveyance, travel down to the
| grounds on Shanks Mares.
There's one thing certain, and
that is, had YOU overcome all OBJ
stacles and gone to the game, you
| would have enjoyed one of the
most exciting hours of diversion
You ever experienced in your life.
Enthusiasm was rampant, aye,
so plumb contagious that as the
game progressed, even the hogs
which were browsing outside of
the grounds, somehow imbibed
the spirit of the human specta-
tors, and becoming inquisitlve,
walked over to the entrance,
poked their snouts thru the open
ing between the gatekeeper,s
legs, and whenever Shook made
a gain, touchdown or goal, grunt-
ed more vociferously than they
had hitherto done in all their
porky career, which was their
only way Of appiauding.
/ Fine dsy! fine crowd! fine
game! Ye Gods! what greater
cause for Thanksgiving could
person desire, especially if drop
Of clean and real sporting blood
raced thru his veins. If there

the game commenced; by the end
of the 1st quarter his expression
had changed to look of solemn
interest; by the End quarter he
wore the suggestion of a smile;
by the Bird quarter the smile had
broadened to a delighted grin;
by the last quarter he was ready
to roar out his approval and give
voice to that time worn express
| sion-"I told you so."
With fate propitious, the occa-
sion auspicious, and the specta-
tors enthusiastic optimism, de-
licious, the game started, Hunt

the very first kick off to the end
of the 1st quarter the ball SWIFTLY,
energetically, and impartially,
seesawed back and forth from
one team to 'tother, until, when
the quarter ended, it occupied a
position in almost the dead cen
ter of the field.
In the End quarter, Shook, af-
ter several minutes af prelimi-
nary maneuyers, rushed the ball
up field, being compelled to kick
1t on the 4th down. Huntland's
half back fumbled, whereupon
X. Werner recovered the ball,
Shook tried a couple of plays
thru the line; r. Bell played
forward pass across the goal line
to K. Werner, scoring touch
down, but Roberts failed to kick
a goal.
In the second half Shook kick
ed to Huntland lost the ball but
lost it on down. At the end
of the 3D. quarter it was in the
| possession of Huntland on the
As yard line.
In the 4th quarter, Huntland
lost the ball on downs and Rob-
erts advanced it 5 yards thru the
line. &. Werner made 10 yards

COUNCIL MEETING


The City Council met in regu-
lar session last Tuesday night and
considerable business was trans
acted, Judge H. ClayMcKee, c.
ID. Grubbs and ]. w. William
were appointed as members of
the Board of Health. These
gentlemen will begin at once to
relieve the city of some rather
unsanitary conditions that now
exist.
Judge H. Clay M'Kee was
granted a permit to erect five
story hotel building on the north
west corner of Bank and Locust
streets. The building will be
r2ox7o feet and will be con-
structed entirely of steel, stone
and brick concrete and work will
begin at an early date.
w. T. Fitzpatrick, Jr., was
granted a permit to erect two
story residence on North Syca-
Tore street.
The Council fixed the tax levy
at * cents on the SIoO and ST. 20
poll tax, the same as last year.
The report of the City Board
of Supervisors was filed and is
as follows:
1--WE, the Board of Supervi-
sors, beg to report that we have
carefully gone over the annual
list for 1914. We found quite
number of male residents of Mt.
Sterling, who are receiving all
the benefits as citizens, but who
for various reasons claim resi-
dence elsewhere, thereby escap-
ing their just share of taxes to
this city. All of these, so far as
we have been able to find, we
have listed for poll and personal
taxation.
mo doubt several of these
will resist this action and we
recommend that the Council en-
ploy such means as is necessary
for the city to maintain its Just
rights.
1--WE recommend that in the
future the Council shall appoint
someone whose duty is shall be
to examine the county records,
and take a list of all liens and
mortgages and shall present this
list to future Boards of Supervi-
sors."
The entire police force, con-
sisting of James Upton, Thos.
Scott and Dee Smith, was re-
elected. City Jailer Anderson
and Street Commissioner Tom
Holland were also reelected, all
for a term of six months.
The water main on North
Sycamore was ordered extended
to Vim street and fire hydrant
placed near G. E. Coons' resi-
dence. Five hundred feet of
fire hose was ordered purchased.
The Council adjourned to
Tuesday night when the ques-
ton of accepting or rejecting
the asphalt paving will be taken
up.
