CELEBRATES
81st BIRTH DAY
Is the Oldest Ex-Federal
Soldier Residing ia
Maryville
Is Enjoying Good Health,
Walks to Town Daily,
ShaVes Himself

|. A. McCully, the oldest ex-
federal soldier residing in Mary
vile, celebrated the eighty-frst
anniversary of his birth at his
Washington Avenue home'Tues-
day, July 27. Mr.. McCulley is
enjoying the very best of health,
and observing the ease with
which he goes about daily, one
would not judge him to have
passed his four score years.
However, he comes to town every
day, shaves himself twice a week,
can read very we'll without glass
es, and talks interestingly of the
days of the sixties, and even
many years before that.
Mr.. McCulley received the con-
gratulations of many friends on
his eighty-frst birth anniversary,
and all hope that he will live to
reach the century mark.
Mr.. McCulley was born on his
fathers farm four miles from
Maryville in 1884. He resided
there at the outbreak of the civil
war, and after the war he return
ed to Blount county and made
his home on a farm near that of
his father until twanty-three
years ago when he came to Mary
vile to reside. Mr.. McCrllev

and the strong constitution de-
veloped when a young man, re-
framing from dissipation and
other frivolities that sap out the
vitality of young life, is serving
him now in his advanced years.
At the outbreak of the war,
Mr.. McCulley felt it his duty to
fall into the ranks of the federal
army and defend the cause he
believed was right. With Dave
Costner, he walked to Walden's
ridge, where he enlisted in the
Second Tennessee Cavalry, Co.
H., and in which he was pro-
noted to a sergeantcy, which
commission he held at the close
If the war. Their commissions
we're dated back to October 10,
1862.
From Walden's ridge the COM
,any walked to Covington, KY,
hence to Old Cincinnati, and
hen to Louisville, KY, where
hey were given their horses.
The cavalry proceeded to Nash
lille and later to Murfreesboro,
where a big fight was engaged
n. Several Blount countians
we're killed in that battle but Mr..
GcCulley did not remember their
ames.
Other battles participated in
" Mr.. McCulley were those at
Visionary Ridge. Chickamauga,
rankin, and in the final battle
f his company during the war,
yhich was at Sugar Creek, Ala.
Several years after the war,
hen Mr.. McCulley applied for
inquiry was made for

lin and other officers of higher
INK reported that he never had
cen confined in the hospital,
ence he had no hospital record.
ear the close of the war Mr..
.cCulley was hit on the foot by
spent ball, but it did no dam

In the company with Mr.. Nc
ulley were four other Blount
who are now living.

Marriage License
Issued in 1867 Is
Returned to the
County Clerk

A marriage license issued to
William Osborne and Lucy A.
George by r. C. Tucker, clerk of
Blount county, in 1867, has
just been returned to C. B. Bad
gett, the present clerk. This GER
tifcate, issued nearly a half CEN
tury ago, was found by a grand
son of the officiating minister,
the Rev. James Blair, of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church.
The certificate was issued on
December 10, 1867, and the mar
riage was solemnized on the fol-
lowing day.
The handwriting of the clerk
and the minister of the gospel, is
very plain and clear, and the
license does not look as if it had
been written nearly fifty years.
The letter of explanation writ
ten by the finder of the certifi-
cate, J. H. B. Hall, of Birming-
ham, Ala, follows:
Birmingham, Ala,
R. F. D., 3, box 147-A.,
July IA, 1915.
Clerk of the County Court,
Maryville, Tennessee.
Ny dear sir:
| am a grandson of the Rev.
James Blair, a Cumberland Pres
byterian minister, who lived near
Loudon, Tenn, and who died
March 9, 1871.
In looking over some of his old
letters and papers today, pre-
paratory to writing his biography,
| came across the enclosed certif-
cate of the marriage between
VIM. Osborne and Lucy A.
George. Of Plount county. The Il
cense, signed by K. G. Tucker, Il
read it,, as clerk, is dated Decem-
Der 10, 1867. The marriage was
performed by Mr.. Blair on the
next day, December II, 1867.
Grandfather was usually prompt
to report his official acts, but, in
1is last years, being afflicted, he
vas not always able to do as he
desired. This very paper, filled
,ut in his own hand, coming to
light just today, shows his inter-
st and fidelity. | find another
certificate, properly filled out,
celebrated in Knox county, be-
ween Henry Anderson and Ten
lessee Rodgers, dated February
, 1867.
It has occurred to me that it
yould be we'll to return this paper
nd let it be filed or recorded,
long with my letter, in the prop
r place-book and page of your |
Marriage Records. In other t
ays, when we shall be looking t
p genealogical and other data, t
may be worth while to the
amily and kindred. '
| should like to have a postal '
ard, at least, acknowledging the /
eceipt of this paper. '

NOTED SOCIOLOGIST WOULD BUILD
 UP SHERMAN RACE WITH EUGENICS

Establishment of "eugenics registry" the purpose of which would be development of an "aris- tocracy of health" and the creation of beings possessed of superior char acteristics of mind and body, was advocated by Dr. J. H. Kellogg of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Battle Creek, Mich, before the conference on race betternent at the Panama Pacific exposition.
 "The establishment of a registry for horses created famous breed of English thcrough5reds," he said. "The object sought by the proposed euGen;cs registry is to accomplish for humans the same marvellous transformation, and to evolve the same betterments that have been and still are being accomplished for pigs and cattle. We have created wcn- dclful new species of domestic ani- mals Why not have q new and i'm proved species of man?

cover. There is still some doubt as to what the Teutons intend to do in the southeast, military experts being divided in their opinion as to whether they will advance on Kiev or attempt to project a wedge between the Rus sian armies.
 The Turks are reported very short of shells, necessary to prevent the allies from conquering the GaIlipoli peninsula. Concerning the operations in the Dardanelles no official news has been received since the news of Wednesday from General Hamilton commander of the British forces. The continued successes of the Teutons in the east leads many writers to the cOnlcusion that the sustained bonn bardment of the German lines in the west means an early move by the entente allies.
