The ladies of the Coterie not being
able to make satisfactory arrangements
with the management of the Colonial
theatre the lecture by William Rainey
Bennett was held at the Methodist
church which was nicely filled by an ex-
pectant as we'll as an enthusiastic audi
ence. Mr.. Bennett was not stranger
This was his second appearance here,
and we think that all who heard him
Monday evening would gady listen to
him the third time. He gave his favorite
lecture, THE Master Thought" and it
indeed proved a masterpiece. 1t was
powerful and contained many beautiful
descriptions and the climax was reached
in bis dramatid description Of the fight
with an octopus.
He sang, by request, several vocal selec-
tions. He possesses fac tenor voice,
and this part of his program was also
greatly enjoy ed.

Now with $500, 600 spent on
pike roads making a network of
pixies all over our county which
my friend, Capt. w. H. Henry,
who has gone to his reward, ad-
voeated in our courts IS to 40
years ago has come to pass.
Now with pike roads leading
into our town, with our new
$40, 900 P. o. building on the G.
A. Toole lot, with a new $50, 900
bank building on the old court
house site; with a $4,000 build
ing on the lot by Toole's store,
with a $4,000 water plant in
Maryville, with the waters of
the Little Tennessee damned up
by the Aluminium Co. of Amerca
furnishing 100000 horse power,
with power lines running over
Blount county buzzing in the
clouds like hornets nests to North
Maryville.
There they are building one of
the largest plants in the world,
in addition to the one that is al
ready there. Say she diden't
grow! With all these things add
ed to her she's going to grow.
Now it is like some young boys
who were building a locomotive.
Their father watched them and
wondered what they were going
to do. Finally they got done and
told him they were going to start
her and he said she would never
go. They fired her up, turned on
steam and down the road she
went. The boys said, Now what
do you say?" You started her but
the darned thing is so big you
will never stop her.
So when | tell you what has
happened and we fire up and tnrn
on the steam, she'll be like the
old engine so big you'll never
stop her.
Whether | am ever mayor or
not some other good man will be.
But want to say | have never
told you anything but what has
happened.
Now | want to say that if the
people of Maryville want me to
be mayor any more I'll do the
best | can for you as have done
in the past. Of course evidence
of what ! have done in the past
is all you have got to go by.

Mayor OF the town or MaryVllle
at an election to be held March
%, 1915, and will say that if re-
elected | will try to serve the peo-
pie the best | can and as ! have
done in the past. ! may have
made some mistakes but it was
not my intention to do so.
want to say further if | am
reelected will do as | have done
in the past: if anything in any
way of much interest to our peo-
pie | will leave it to the majority
of the people to settle as | be-
lieve that anything of Importance
ought to be left to the people. l
believe in majority of the people
ruling. Now, Ihave been Mayor
of the town of Maryville two
years. You all know me, and
you don't have to take any chance
as to my views.
will say further, by the help
of God and the support of the
people | will endeavor to do my
duty as mayor the best l can if
elected again. And in regard to
water works, | am for water and
sewers just as soon as they can
be put in.
| want say further that told
you the town was going to grow.
Well, | didn't tell you wrong, did
|? She's grown amt she?
told you that when the water
of the rivers was harnessed up
by skilled engineers of our county
and turned on the wheels of prog
ress they would begin to roll; if
you don't believe they are rolling
just take a walk out to North
Maryville and see the largest
plant of the kind in the world.
The wheels are rolling, amt they?
l told you that the boot of the
automobile was going to wake
her up. If you look at that truck
of C. D. Kenny Tea Co., of Knox
vile, on our streets and it looks
like a Baldwin locomotive unload
ing 20 tons of sugar into the
doors of our stores; brought from
Knoxville over pike roads. She's
here, amt she?
And with the whole Standard
Oil Co., on wheels travelling about
over our county carrying 500 bar
rels of oil and gasoline to our
doors it looks as big as a whole
freight train used to look. She's
here. amt she? Then say she
amt grown.
OF course you all know that
professor Waller'had plans for a
water works system for the town
and as he was suddenly stricken
down with illness and. by the all
wise and ruling power of God of
the universe was called from
earth to heaven by Him who
knows best.
And will say further that there
has been a dry spell for a while
both in water and finances, es-
pecially finance, But the dry
spell is about over now and it
seems that from the wind and
thunder and lightning we have
had in Maryville which always
brings water arising now and it
looks more like water than ever
before. There is never much
water out of scattering clouds
but when a solid cloud arrives
and stays together there is al
ways a down pour of water. So
there is one solid cloud arriving
will not scatter, so that being
the case, lookout for the water
she's coming.
/ will say further that boys of
county grow $50 bushels of corn
to the acre is making her grow,
and say further did you see the
exhibit at the court house last
October and see the the products
on exhibition there that were
grown by our girls? That show
was a credit to any county in the
United States and nothing finer
