the pay roll of the company at
Canton amounted to about $1,000

The people of Haywood have
quite a lot of the mountains

this brings money into the noun

facility that Haywood has, only we
have not turned our attention in
the direction of making easy money
and easy livings. Good roads is the
key note to the whole situation. In
Haywood county you will find miles
and miles of good roads. These
good roads please the tourist. The
more good roads we have in these
mountains, the more tourists will

prepare to make this exchange with
them, when all concerned would be
greatly benefited? Haywood coun-

circulation as Jackson county, with
the prospect of greater progress still.

 The first day the Army of the Po- tomac, in a dense column which filled the wide avenue from curb to curt. marched by from early morn until late at night No better demonstra- ton of the marvellous efficiency which

This would be impossible in the best drilled legions of Europe today. And with that army. what recent and vivid memories marched?

Of that awful Septem- Der day. on the banks of the Antietam. which closed with 12.000 boys in blue lying dead or wounded.

Of the momentous three days at Gettysburg. which finally turned hack the tide of Lees great army at the price of 5000 Union dead, and 12. 900 wounded. Of those thirty days of mortal wrestling between the Union and Confederate armies from the Rapidan of the James, which cost the Union army 45,O00 men, and filled every household in the South with mourning.

 Then had come a change as marvel ous as that which four years before had transformed the uncouth coun- try boys into veterans surpassing those of Carsar's lcgions.
 The magic wand of peace laid a dissolving touch upon the bands or steel forged in the fires of battle. The hrm-knlt companies and rcgi- ments melted away into the broad level sea of American citizenship.
 The boys who had bearded into men while graduating from Wars stern University of Destruction at once be- came potent factors of peace and up lbuilding.
 Four Presidents of the United States came rom among them. They sat in the august Supreme Court and filled the Senate and House of Representa- tives, governors.

"Bentonville." and a thou sand minor battles. each of which had thrilled the peoples hearts to the core.
 They were restless. aggressive men; tiger-like in attack. and wild boars on the defense. who had hunted down and fought their enemies in every State in the Confectionery. No noun tain-top was too rugged, no swampy fastncss too impenetrable to shelter any man who drew a sword or raised a flag in hostility to the Government.

 At the head of this Mississippi of warlike force rode its Commander. George Gordon Meade-tall. grim. spectacled, his broad shoulders bent as if by the weight of the burden he had carried from Gettysburg to Ap- pomattox.
 Sheridan, the whirlwind of battle. was missing from the glorious Cavalry Corps, which he had wakened to It's strength, and fashioned in the forge of war into the mightiest mounted force that ever drew saber. He had been rushed off to the Rio Grande. to throttle an exotic Empire planted in Mexico by Napoleon III, who counted us of too little worth. Sheridan was weIl-spared. however. for awhile later the imported Emperor was taken out and shot.
 Cavalry Led By Custer.
 The Cavalry was led by such incom- parable Heutenants as the theatric, dashinE George A. Custer. and the quiet. gray-eyed George A. Crook.
 The Second Corps, each man in it's perfectly aligned ranks prouder of his clover leaf badge than of peerage in the United Kingdom. was led by An- drew A. Humphreys. an ideal Ameri- can soldier and corps commander.
 The Fifth Corps. whose Maltese Cross had badged the dead in the fore front of every line of battle of the Army of the Potomac. was led by tall. slender, .knightly, Charley" Griffin. who had four years before entered the Corps as an enthusiastic young battery captain. and was now wearing the double stars of a major-generai well earned in more than a score of hardfought battles.

of $1,000 to boys and girls who
desire to become members of'their
Pig and Poultry Club, as publish
ed in The Times in September,
has attracted much attention
among bankers and agricultural
men of the state. The Times is
in receipt of a letter from the
office of the State Department of
Agriculture at Nashville, want
ing a detailed plan Of the banks
club organization, as that depart
ment desires to furnish this
commendable plan to banks all
over Tennessee"
Boys and girls. of the county
are manifesting much interest in
the plan. 1t is an easy way for
a youngster to get capital to go
into the swine or poultry business
for himself or herself, and all it
costs is interest on the money for
one year. The State Department
of Agriculture has been furnished
with the plan of the First Ma
tional Bank, and it is expected it
will be adopted by many banks
throughout the state.
Maryville can set the pace for
many good things other towns
and institutions would do well to
adopt.

FARMERS ALLIANCE IS
FORMED AT TOWNSEND
Twenty Members In Organization Which Proposes
To Study And Cooperate In Better Methods
Of Farming

The first Farmers Alliance
organized in BIoant county has
been formed by farmers of Town
send. There are twenty of the
leading farmers of that section
in the Alliance.
Officers are: President, L. J.
Jenkins.
Vice-President, Rev. John Nc
Campbell.
Secretary Treasurer, Georg e
w. Emert.
Auditor, Jake Farmer.
Librarian, w. R. Dunn.
The object of the Alliance is to
bring the members together in
order that they may study the
best methods of farming, as out
lined by agricultural experts and
leading farmers. They will have
a good library of agricultural
works, and from time to time ex-
pect to have addresses from
farmers and experts.
1t is probable that later the
Alliance will engage in expert
mental work.
The organization of this Alli-
ance is a commendable move,
and it is hoped that farmers in
other centers will go and do like
wise and organize similor or
ganizations.
