VOTE.

who, remembering the over
wheIming majority that was piled
up for it at the last election, will
perhaps think others will vote
for the bonds this time, and thus
their votes will not be needed.
This is a bad presumption for
any loyal citizen to take. 1t is
the duty of every qualified voter
to cast his ballot. Do not depend
on your neighbors to put the
measure across, for it will be
helpful to you. And had you
thought, your neighbor on whom
you are counting to vote for the
measure, might feel the same
way you do and depend upon you
to vote for the measure, and he
himself might not go to the polls,
Thus two votes are lost because
of erroneous presumptions.
There is no need for US to
elucidate upon the benefits that
will come to us from good roads.
Every thinking man knows these.
1t takes four things to make a
good government. Good homes,
good roads, good schools, and
good churches. Unless we have
good roads we cannot have good
schools and good churches. Busi-
ness will be on the bum, life will
not be so pleasant and enjoyable,
and things in general will not be
so merry.
Another thing for you to think
about: Last spring when we
voted on the good roads question,
we had passed through q bad
season, the dirt roads were al
most impossible, and every one
felt, personally, the need of good
roads. At the present time the
dirt roads are in pretty good con-
dition, travel to town has been
possible and pleasant over the
graded roads, and many have
forgotten the unpleasant
ness of travel last winter. Hold
in mind this thought, however,
that the same condition will pre-
vail this winter, and next winter,
and the next and the next and
the next if the roads are not i'm

Teachers Have Been Nam
ed and Courses of
Study are Outlined
TWO NEW FEATURES
Junior High School, Do
mestic Science and
Arts Departments

The public schools of Mary.
vile will open Monday morning,
Sept. 6. Prof. C. D. Curtis,
principal, has had published and
distributed, courses of study for
each of the grades. This is an
innovation in school work in Ma
ryville, and should be of much
benefit to the teachers and pu-
pills. The publication of courses,
book lists, book prices and ex-
change prices, is a feature of city
school work, and Prof. Curtis has
taken an advanced step in getting
out this list. 1t not only gives
names of books to be used, but
also states the number of pages
to be covered in one year. Thus
teachers in one school can con-
duct their work in conformity
with teachers at the other school.
The same amount Of work will be
done, and by proper division of
the book into the number of reci-
tations to be held, each lesson
can be of about equal length, and
at the end of the year there will
not be long deficiencies to make
up.
Another feature of the city
schools this year will be the jun
ior High school. This is a plan pro
posed by DR.. Claxton. u. s. COM
missioner of education, and is be-
ing adopted in the best school syrr
TENS of the nation. The Junior
High school work begins with the
seventh grade and continues
through the ninth. The High
School work, when introduced in
Maryville, will include the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth grades, as
is done in the cities.
One new department of special
interest to the pupils, will be the
domestic science and domestic
arts departments. The intro
duction of this work has been ac-
complished through the efforts of
the superintendent, who has had
the cooperation of the school
board and School Improvement
leagues. Complete courses have

Brothers.
Mr.. Ciafh has 9n his farm three
different strains of Duroc Jer-
seys, and can furnish to buyers
a boar and SOW of different blood,
so that a herd can be started from
these purchases. They expect
later to experiment in line breed
ing. However, little of this has
been done by them as yet.
The herd of Mr.. Clark is get
ting too large. He now has five
brood sows, and a SOW can have
two and three deliveries in a
year. Hence their farm becomes
we'll stocked, as a Duroc Jersey
averages from 8 to Is pigs at a
delivery. One SOW on Mr.. Clark's
farm brought twenty-eight pigs
in twelve months.
He plans to reduce the size of
his herd soon, and announcement
of a sale will be made in the col
umns of The Times. Watch for
it. 1t may be held in Septembee.
From this herd, MIR. Clark and
son will select some of their best
boars to keep for herd boars, al
so some of the sows.
1t would pay a farmer to visit
the farm of Mr.. Clark, and learn
something about the raising of
thoroughbred hogs. 1t costs less
to feed these hogs than the scrub
kind. An eight months old
Duroc pig, if fed we'll, will weigh
close to 300 pounds, and with
ordinary keeping, will weigh 200
pounds or more. They can be
fattened in much shorter time
than the ordinary hog.
One of the most interesting
things about a Duroc Jersey is
it's tameness. Little boys can
walk into the herd, straddle a
boar or SOW and ride around the
lot. Dogs jump upon them and
are carried around. Duroc Jer-
seys are like lambs as to gentle
ness, and do not harm their
keepers. They engage in very
little fighting among themselves.
The herd of Mr.. Clark is one
of the finest in the south. He
and his son have done much to-
wards introducing a better breed
of hogs into the county, and their
services in this respect are ap-
preciated, as is shown by the
number of pigs sold throughout

miles from yvillek and Q ed
by S. P. Clar.y& Son, Are register
ed Duroc Jersey hogs which have
a pedigree that puts them in a
class with the best hogs in the
nation. Mr.. Clark and his son
are the oldest registered hog
breeders in the county, and their
work in introducing into the
county thoroughbred and regis
tered stock, has been invaluable
to the farmers. They have been
breeding Duroc Jerseys four
years.
Mr.. Clark and Son are members
of the National Duroc Jersey
association, and several of their
hogs are described in the annual
publication of that organization.
At present there are in the
herd about fifty hogs and pigs.
The herd boar, Top Cherry,
which weighs about $50, and
whose picture is shown herewith,
was purchased from S. H. Stans-
berry & Sons, of Newport, who
are known throughout the nation
as breeders of best live stock.
Top Cherry's registration number
is 46, 127. About 70 brood sows
from all parts of the county have
been taken to the Clark Grove
farm and bred to this boar, thus
introducing into all parts of the
country, pure Duroc Jersey blood,
and inspiring farmers to improve
their swine stock.
One of the sows on Mr.. Clark's
farm is Lady Blount., registered
in the National association. She
was sired by Model Dick, owned
by J. M. Harris. In naming this
SOW, which is quite famous, the
county has been given advertise
ment, inasmuch as she bears its
name.
Another one of the best sows
in his herd is Defenders Anna
Model, which was secured from
Mckee brothers, in Kentucky.
Forest Oaklawn, II, sired by
Forest chief, owned by Mckee
Bros, recently dropped eight
pigs, six Of which are now living.
Two were killed by the SOW, ac-
cidentally. Forest Oaklawn II
is shown in the lower picture of

CAPT. HANNUM
PASSES AWAY
One of the County's Old
est Citizens Claimed by
Death on Saturday
BURIED IN KNOXVILLE

Death claimed Capt. w. Y. C.
Hannum, one of Blount county's
best and most substantial citizens
Saturday morning at 2 O'Clock at
his home in Maryyille. The
funeral services were conducted
at the home Sunday morning and
interment was in Knoxville in
Old Gray cemetery Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
The deceased was Confederate
soldier and a captain in the army
of the south. He leaves to mourn
their loss, his widow, three
daughters, Mrs. James M. Gates,
of Maryville; Mrs. J. E. Dean
and Mrs. Simpson Penny, of
Rome, Ca, and two sons, Fisher
w. Hannum, of Maryville, and
DR.. Montgomery M. Hannum, of
Justis, Fla.
Capt. Hannum was born in
1841, and when the war between
the states came he enlisted under
the stars I'D bars and fought
through the TOUR years, losing a
leg on the battlefield. He re-
turned to his home in Blount
county, and successfully conduct
ed a large farm and also other
business in Maryville. He served
as postmaster under President
Grover Cleveland. He was honor
ed, loved and respected by all
those who knew him. In later
years he retired from active bust
ness. He has been i'll for several
weeks. and death was not unex-
pected to his family and close
friends.
The demise of Capt. Hannum,
removes from the active walks
of life one of Blount county's
most estimable citizens. The
family loses a devoted father and
husband, and the state a good
man.

PIKE ELECTION
NEXT SATURDAY
Resolution tObe Voted on
is Same as Was Form
erIy Before Voters
ROADS ARE SPECIFIED
1t is the Duty of Every
Loyal Blount Countian
to Cast His Vote
ARE SPECIFIED

Saturday is the date set for the
pike bond election in Blount
county. This election has been
authorized by the Blount county
court, and call has been made in
the proper way and officers an
nounced by the county board OF
election commissioners.
There seems to have been some
misunderstanding among persons
in some parts of the county as to
the roads to be piked under the
resolution on which the voters
will cast their ballots next Sat
urday. However, there need be
no confusion as the resolution
authorizing this election calls
for the construction of the same
roads as the resolution adopted
at a former term and on which
the electors of the county voted
in February. In fact it is the
same resolution. There has been
no change in the roads to be
piked, or their courses or direction
The specifications are the same,
without one change.
The former election, in which
the measure was passed by vote
of ten to one, was held to be
invalid, Lecause the election had
not been advertised a sufficient
length of time. The great danger
that comes now concerning the
success of the measure Saturday,
is the confidence of it's friends,

keeps an accurate record of

CATS HOME IN CHURCH ORGAN
Animal Stayed There for Week and
Made Some Problem for the
Authorities.

Giggling, smiles and evidences OF
unusual good humor in the congrega-
tion in Second Reformed church we're
explained after the service. A full
grown cat was in the pipe organ. The
organist and janitor couldn't get 1t
out. Everybody in church knew 1t.
The music was softer than usual and
quite subdued. There was a reason
The cat had walked all over the ap-
paratus governing one of the three
manuals and put 1t out of commission
Fer a full week the cat was in the
mechanism. After being found in a
bed 1t made in the altar cloths, it fed
to the organ. 1t could not be smoked
out. shot at. or otherwise forced out,
because of suspicion that a litter OF
kittens might be inside the organ and
might die and decay in the instru-
ment.
Finally Janitor John Otto and Or
ganist William s. Hollenbach con-
trived a trap with meat, string and
stick. When the animal seized the
meat the fall of the stick aroused the
janitor. He caught the animal only
after stunning it with hymn book.

get the damaged keyboard into serv-
ice again.-Reading (Pa) Dispatch to

Once upon a time there was a dog
whose delight it was to bark at the

concerning the moon, but felt that

the varmint under discussion is an
abomination. Still, he is one OF the
pests to whom all the rest OF creation
appear to feel compelled to give ear
and deference--men call them reform
ers or agitators, or statesmen, as the
case may be. As I understand 1t,
there is no way of stopping his bark

to quit. And that, alas would not give

he had spent our money he would find
