w. E. PARHAM

One OF Blount County's builders who is
now resident of another county, is w. E.
Parham, who is operating the Hartman
Riverside Wo,Ien Mills at Hartman, Tenn
Mr. Parham was born in Knox county in
1860, and removed to Maryville with his
parents in December, 1865. He is the son
Of w. T. Parham, who now resides in
Knoxville.
Mr.. Parham attended private schools and
Maryville College. He did not receive his
degree, being forced to quit college on &C.
count Of i'll health. Upon leaving college
he engaged in the mercantile business with
his father, and in 1877 entered the wooden
mills business with him in Maryville, con.
tinuing this business until 1901. In the
latter year they estabH he'd the Riverside
Wooden Mills in Knoxville, and Mr.. Parham
assisted in the management of that business,
retaining his residence in Mary vile. In
1912 he established the Hartman Riverside
Wooden Mills, and moved his family to
that town, where they now reside.
Mr. Parham has done much for the up
building OF Blolnt county, and though his
residence is in another part of the state, he
is still interested in the development of thi
county, He served in the state senate in |
1909 and 1910, and was the author of the |
FIRST compulsory sc'ool law passed b, the
tate legislature, it being applicable to tn

1t was also through Mr.. Parham's efforts
that an enabling act was passed. so that the
county issued $500, 900 in pike road bonds,
with the privilege of issuing another $780,.
900. AS a result of this issue, ninety miles
Of roads in the county were piked anu
graded. He was chairman of the county
court in 1911. at which time the bond issue
was authorized under the enabling act
which he had secured, and he was influential
in getting it through the court.
Another thing Mr.. Parham did while in
the legislature and Of which he is proud,
was his success in securing the passage Ct 4
measure making it possible for a coun
trustee to loan the county's funds.
Mr.. Parham served as justice Of
peace twelve years, and was always &C
in the interest of constituents. He
a member of the school directorate wi
the town purchased the old Friendsl sch
property for city school. He was
one of the prime movers in bringing the
L & N railway to Maryville, and influenced
his father to give the company right OF
way through his property to Maryville.
This was the beginning of the rapid up.
building of Maryville which still continues.
Mr.. Parham has thousands of friends in

! ms Is the simple lie OlreCt
and immediate contact with things,
life with the false wrappings torn
away. To see the fire that warns

;hat feeds the fire that warns you;
to see the sNring where the water
bubbles up that sIakes your thirst
aud to dip your pail into it; to see

Since To'stoy's day perhaps
nowhere is there a literary man 30
abso. utely simp e and transformations
in taste and practice as is John
Burroughs, We would counsel
Young folks to read this biography
of Mr. Burroughs 1t will untold
to them bigger life meaning, for
he has shown us the divine in the
common and the near at hand; that
heaven lies about us here in this
world; that the glorious an !
miraculous are not to be sought
afar off, but are here and now; and
that love of the earth. mother is in
the truest sense, love of the divine:
THE babe in the womb is not
nearer its mother than are we to
the invisible, sustaining, mothering
powers of the universe, and to it's
spiritual entities every moment of
our lives"
And we agree with the biographer
that one who speaks thus of the
things of such import to every
human soul is bound to win re-
sponsee: He deals with things
that come home to US all. We
want to know him"
Now, near the end of his journey,
we should expect him to express
the thought and sentiment found
in "Waiting", written when
young man, but which he says he
has lived to prove true. How
beautiful it is:
WAITING

HUSTONvILLE LIGHT PLANT
Bought By Walter Owsley Who Will
Improve and Push Business

Walter Owsley has bought the Hus-
tonville Electric Light plant from the
Lipps heirs and will soon take charge
and continue it's operation on a sys-
tenn planned to give the people of the
hustling West End metropolis the
very best service possible. 1t is under
stood that the plant complete cost
Mr.. Owsley $4,000. He has arranged
to move the electric light and power
plant from the Hustonville Roller
Mills where the juice has been hither-
to manufactured, and will install a
large, 25-horse power gasoline en-
CINE, in an especially constructed
building for his lighting and power
plant. He has bought an International
engine, and an expert electrician will
come to Hustonville to superintend
the moving of the electric plant and
storage batteries, and installation of
the new engine and accessories. The
capital Of the West End is unusually
favored in its light and power facili-
ties, having been furnished a 24-hom
current ever since the plant was in
stalled. Electric fans, washing ma
chimes, and other household devices
requiring a small amount of power
are very popular over the town it is
said in view of the convenience and
cheapness CT the power obtained. Mr..
Owsley plans to devote all of his
time to the business, and will push it
theoretically, educating the people
to what great variety of Uses they
can put the juice for both power and
lighting purpose.

Marshal Charles Winfrey, of Somer-
set, Wednesday, when they arrested
Charley Reid, of Milledgeville, this

ed to have been selling liquor unlaw-
fully. Many people of the West End

FROM REMOTEST
PARTS OF WORLD
Famous Medicine, Tanlac Draws
Ingredients From Dis
tant Points

Louisville, March 10, 1916 L. T..
Cooper, the man who electrified the
larger cities with his philanthropy,
health theories and medicine, is now
meeting hundreds daily in Louisville
and explaining the nature of his cele-
brated preparation, Tanlac.
To a group of friends at The Seel-
bach, where he is stopping, Mr.. Coop
er stated that the medicinal elements
or properties, which go to make up
his medicine, Tanlac, came from
many remote sections of the globe.
The Alps, Apenines, Pyrenees, Rus
sian, Asia, Jamaica, Brazil, West In
dies, Mountain States near the Rocky
Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia, India,
Russia, England, France, Germany,
Mexico, Columbia and Peru were
among the points he mentioned as
furnishing the ingredients for the
premier preparation.
In his principal laboratory, the
roots, banks and flowers or the medi-
cine in its rough, is assembled under
the personal direction of a German
chemist of note and skillfully made
to obtain the high state of efficiency
that is shown by the uniform prep
aration, Tanlac.
In sterilized bottles, made express
ly for the purpose, Tanlac is placed
labeled, inspected and then shipped
out over the world where the demand
requires.
Mr.. Cooper, having made an extern
sive study of catarrhal affections,
was asked to express himself upon
that subject. He said:
"Most of the so-called stomach
liver and kidney troubles are due al
most entirely to a catarrhal inflam-
nation of those organs. The constant
Icoughing.up of mucus, dull, throb.
bling headaches, pains in the pit OF
stomach, and the persistent suscepti
bility to coughs and colds, are com.
mon symptoms from which so many
suffer.
"Tanlac, the preparation / am in.
PRODUCING to combat this condition
preserves your health, gives you re
newed energy, brightens your spirits
llengthens your life and is an unmis
taxable, unfailing comfort to thu
| thousands who suffer from catarrl
and its distressing consequences"

breaches POWERFUL SERMONS
Large Congregations Hear DIR. VIM
burn Each Day at Baptist Church.

Powerful pleas to the unsaved
to take heed concerning their
souls salvation are being made each
afternoon and night at the Baptist
church by DR.. II. l.. Winburn, who
is leading the revival services. The
congregations grow larger each eve
ming. DIR. Winburn is a powerful
pleader for his masters cause. Quiet
yet "a pleader Of powerful -saersua-
with power. Services are held each
afternoon at three o'clock and at
half past seven.
DIR. Winburn preached Thursday
night from the text, 'As many as
touched Him were healed" and was
listened to with closest attention by
a large congregation.
On Tuesday night, DIR. Winburn
delivered powerful discourse on the
Wise Scribe, who took an unquali-
fled stand on his Masters side. We'd
nesday afternoon the speaker made
an especially strong plea for personal
work by the Christian people of the
congregation and the city to bring
sinners to the Lord. He urged that
the evangelist could not do it, but
that the greatest results in any reviv-
al were obtained by personal work
among the unsaved. He said that the
wonderful results in Billy Sundays
revivals are obtained, not so much
through the power of his sermons but
by the personal work of his splendid
organization of assistants, who take
charge wherever the great evangelist
/ is holding a meeting.
The largest congregation of the
meeting so far was present WedneS-
day night and heard another splen-
did sermon, the theme of the evange-
! list being that Whatsoever a Man
Soweth That Shall He Also Reap"

WANT STREETS OF TOWN OILED
Woman's Club Sets Movement On
Foot to Secure Benefit for City

At the regular meeting of the
Woma.-' Club Wednesday afternoon
one G. the chief topics of discussion
was the proposal to inaugurate a
campaign to have the business and
residence streets of Stanford oiled
this spring so as to be ready for the
dust of summer. Practically all of the
ladies present were heartily in favor
of the plan, and it was agreed that
committee should be named to inter-
view the merchants and citizens re-
garding the matter and see what
amount can be raised by private sub
scription, to be supplemented by an
appropriation by the City Council for
the work. So far as expressions have
been heard, a big majority of the
Main street merchants, business men
and professional men are strongly in
favor of having the streets oiled and
thus allaying the dust nuisance which
is fearful on windy day in midsum-
mer. The ladies of the Woman's Club
plan to make a house to house cam
vass to ascertain just what sum they
can count on from private contribu-
tors and will then go before the City
Fathers with the matter and ask for
active cooperation.
