Christian Church
Annual Meeting

The members of the Christian
church held their annual business
meeting last Thursday evening. A
large number were present to enjoy
the splendid supper prepared by the
ladies. Thereafter the members as
sembled in the main auditorium and
attended to the various reports and
election of officers for the ensuing
year.
The reports show that, there has
been a growth in the work. The la
dies class, of which G. G. McAllister
is teacher, has done large amount
of charity work and made several
hundred calls in the interest of the
sick and poor of the city. The Sun
day school shows a healthy growth
The membership report shows that
seventeen have been added to the
church during the short pastorate oi
Mr.. Vallandigham.
On motion of Prof. Milan the
members will hold a get-togethel
meeting once every quarter instead
of once a year The membership is
unit In the desire to make the com.
ing year the best in the history oi
the church. The official board il
made up of strong representative citi
zens. With such a board and the
united and harmonious efforts of the
members a splendid work is prophe
sled for the coming year.

Churches Pass
Resolutions

Among the local Protestant church.
es, Sunday, protests were circulated
against turning over the management
of the county poor farm and hospital
to the Sisters OF Charity, a matter
which is being brought to the atten-
tion of the county court. The pro-
tests took the form of actual sigma
lures or rising vote. There was
practically unanimous sentiment
against the plan as voiced by the
church people. This opposition is not
directed so much against the Catholic
church as 1t is against the assump-
ton of control by any religious or
ganization over secular matters.
These protests will be lodged with
the county court at an early date and
will constitute formidable objection
to the contemplated plan.

Medford Militia
Visit Ashland

The first of a prospective series of
exchange courtesies between the
First and Seventh Companies, Coast
Artillery Reserves, occurred Monday
evening when the Ashland boys en-
tertained the entire company from
Medford. Regular drill and some
artillery practice were put on for the
inspection of the visitors and the re-
jmainder of the evening spent socially
in getting better acquainted. Sub
stantial refreshments were served
and much enjoyed by both companies.
The Medford men are planning a re-
turn in the near future, when the
Ashland boys will be their guests.
The two local Coast Artillery Com
panies-First o. Ashland and Seventh
of Medford-are to use a Joint target
range in the future, and the one over
near Grizzly will be discontinued.
The new range will be installed by
the government with concrete pits for
the target managers and all modern
appliances, located in the vicinity of
Phoenix The old range has been
condemned as unsafe and one range
for both companies can be kept up
to standard better than two as here
tofore. Also, the fact that the COM
panies can compare records will tend
toward increasing the interest of the
members in a friendly rivalry for
good workmanship.

After the regular business session
Tuesday, the Auxiliary members went
in body to view the Improvements

transformation has taken place there,
the house having been repainted out
side and repapered within. The liv-
ing room has been done over in tan
and brown, while the tea room is to
be kept entirely to the blue and
white. Furniture, woodwork and
dishes are all to conform to this color
scheme. Next week more detailed
description of the home will be given,
with list of the generous gifts which
the Auxiliary has already received to
the value OF about 800.

Big Crowd Pleased
BY "EveryWoman''

"Everywoman" at the Vining last
night was by odds the best attraction
that has yet appeared here. Also the
largest audience was present. 1t is
one of the series of morality plays"
that has proven so popular. The cast
was high class and the presentation
good.
Those who enjoyed the play last
night should keep in mind that last
winter there was no house in Ash
land where such play could be ac-
commodated. The Vining brothers
without bonus, made it possible for
the theatre-going public to enjoy such
high-class entertainment, and the
best shows on the road are now being
attracted to Ashland,

 While Tennessee is building good roads under the tremendous general impetus that has been created by the Dixie highway movement she will hon or the memory of President Andrew Jackson by the construction of road to be known as the Old Hickory high way. running from Knoxville to Bris- toi
 This highway will follow the route which Andrew Jackson, or Old Hick- ory, used in his trips from Knoxville to Washington. The road originally was pioneers trail and has been used ever since. It was the stagecoach pike in the days of Jackson and since then has been known as the Old Hickory stage road.
 Money and labor for the rehabilita- ton of this highway has been proyid- cd for. This is very remarkable route from the fact that there are nei- ther ferries nor mountains to cross, and the grade runs considerable under per cent the greater part of the way.
