Jan. |, and an increase in salary will
date from the same day.
In order to be advanced to the third
class the receipts for each of four
consecutive quarters had to reach an
amount which if maintained for u year
would aggregate ut least $1,000. The
salary where the receipts are between
81 900 and -, 100 is $1,000.
The increase in receipts IS due ia
large measure to the establishment of
rural free delivery routes, of which
there are three. These We're started

THINK EXTENSION WILL
Be ASSURED IN 10 DAYS

Confidence in the prospects that
the Carolina, Greeneville and North
ern Railways proposed extension
from Kingsport to Bristol will be a
paying proposition is reported to be
Strengthening daily, and many prom
inent Bristolians, who have promised
to lend their influence as well as fl
nancial aid TO the road, confidently
expect that the line will be an as
sured thing in ten days. Already it
is reporte nearly third of the $751;
600 worth of stock allotted to Bristol
and the people along the route have
been subscribed for. The stock be-
ing sold is seven per cent upeferred,
convertible, when the bonds of the
company are issued, in either cash
or bonds, and are secured by a first
lien on the right sof way. In event
the extension is not financed COM
pletely, H. e. ones and Ex-Governor
John /. Cox are made trustees and
will hold the rights of way in trust
for the benefit of the stockholders.
Shouldit become an assured fact
to the men behind the road that the
subscriptions here, which will be suf-
ficient only to pay for the rights of
way and the cost of making surveys,
are assured, work it is thought will
begin on the line within thiry days.
Conractcrs are at work between Ra-
der and Kingsport, and several miles
of that division have already been
macahamized. Work will be done
from kader toward Sevierville and
Kingsport since heavy river bridges
will have to be built at either end of
the road and the completion of the
intermediate portion of the line will
facilitate the transportation of ma
terial for the bridge work. The Sc

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENTS

Just as | was trying my best to

lemon party. Sounds refreshing.
doesn't it? She cut the invitations
out of slightly rough yellow stiff pa
per and tied with a little bow of
lemony satin ribbon. When all the
guests arrived they went to the porch
and were given lemon shaped cards.
On the table was pile of lemons.
Each guest drew one, cut it open with
a silver fruit knife and counted the
seeds, writing down the number on
her lemon card and also her name.
The lemons were then taken to the
pantry and soon reappeared in the
shape of lemonade. The seeds were
collected and placed in glass fruit
jar, where every one could see them,
anu SueSSS were Ldh6u DIS W IHe To-
tai number, the number guessed be-
ing recorded on the card. Then re-
freshments were served. consisting of
lemon aspic salad sardine sandwich
es, lemon sherbet and cakes iced
with lemon frosting. Candy boxes
in shape of lemons were passed for
favors, each one containing perfect
little lemon quarters in the shape of
candy. Then the prize for the near
est CUES on the lemon seeds was
awarded. 1t was a straw garden hat
trimmed with lemon eolore dtarleton
and bunch of artificial lemons. The
consolation prize was half dozen
lemons and a china squeezer.
Everyone said it was most en-
joyable party. and Polly" added an
other laurel to her wreath in horror
of her clever ability as a hostess.
