A special meeting was held at Whit
we'll Tuesday by the Pike Road Com
missioners to push forward prelimina-
ry details for work Of building roads
in this county, as result of the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court tnat the
bond act was legal. The meeting was
attended by Commissioners Raulston
and Ferguson, of South Pittsburg,
Klein, of Richard City, Williamson
of Jasper, Cantrell and Walker OF
Whitwell. Those absent were Com
misssioners Tate, of Comfort, Duncan
of South Pittsburg, and Sherman OF
Sequachee.
The morning session was held about
II O'Clock in the Office of DR.. Seay and
was an open session. Several promi'
nent men of the county were present.
The discussion was very general
Chairman Cantrell calling for express
sions from the gentlemen present, ),
j. Dykes, DR.. Seay, A. L. Robertson,
Mr.. Landers, a civil engineer from
Franklin county and others took part
in the discussion many of the ques-
tions put to these gentlemen being ask
ed by Mr.. RaulstoD. Mr. Klein OF
Mr.. Cantrell. A large amount OF IN
formation was obtained, but we are
not able to put it in print this week.
The following resolutions we're ad-
opted by the commissioners about con-
clusion of morning session, introduced
by John T. Raulston:
Whereas, we, the Board OF Pike
Commissioners of Marion County, were
about to sell bonds for the improve
ment of our roads, suit was brought to
prevent the sale thereof, and to have
the act under which the bonds were
issued, declared unconstitutional.
Whereas, said suit has been heard
by the courts and finally determined
and upheld by the Supreme Court OF
the State, the injunction restraining
the bonds being perpetualiy dismissed,
and
Whereas, we believe it to be to the
interest of all the people of Marion
County that the road Improvement
provided for by said act be accomplish
ed and completed as soon as possible,
We, therefore, thank the people who
so Loyalty supported the good roads
movement in our county, and contrib
ute to it's success, and we congratulate
the people, regardless of their prefer
ences. on the success and final out

WATER POWER
IS AVAILABLE
Excellent Possibilities For Hy-
dre-E'ectric Power In
Sequatchie.

Since there is small chance for
electric power from the lock be-
ing brought here, we wish to
point out how. in our mind, a
considerable quantity of electric
power could be secured from Lit
tie Sequachee River.
Some years ago electric power
was proposed, but the contem-
plated dams were to be located
away up the river, and in terri
tory where it would be hard to
hold water by reason of crevices
in the limestone lodges. Our
plan is different from this and
would place the power plant
much nearer Sequachee, and do
away with these disadvantages.
Let an 18-inch or possibly a "a
inch iron pipe, serving as
flume, be laid in a direct line from
the Westmoreland reach of wa
ter to point near the county at
river. Looking the strong cur
rent there last Saturday, the wa
ter rushing thru like mill race,
there must be a considerable fall
in the river, and the flume would
be fully quarter of a mile long,
possibly a half mile. Hence the
proposition is this. If the fall is
18 feet, as was estimated, what
would be the horse power from
turbine located in the lower end
of this line. There you have the
weight of a half mile of water
"a inches in diameter with an 49,
foot drop. 1t seems without fig
ing out the actual horse power
that a very respectable power
could be secured by this method,
enough to light Sequachee and
give power for several industries.
This Westmoreland reach, by
retaining dam being built, could
be converted into a storge lake
for dry seasons, and flood gates
would prevent overflow.
This fume could be laid on the
top of the ground, hence little
little excavation would te neces-
sary, and a small po yer house to
shelter dynamos would be about
all that would be necessary, out
side of the necessary wires to
fconvey the electric current.
We wish we owned such an op-
portunity for hydro-electric pow
er. SO that we could harness that
river and make it productive of
power.

Christmas Molly

The round bright sun in the west hung low
1t was old-fashoned Chrtmas weather
remember the fields were white with snow
AS we stood by the ste together
In the woods the berries grew thick and red;
Yet fingered and called it Folly!
When you said with smile: Let us ross the stile
And gather some Christmas holly
But over fields by the frozen brook
We went where the boughs were sprnkled
With snow; and deep in sheltered nook
The waterfall family tinkled
brave little robin sang out in the cold:
1t was was only young lovers folly,
But we listened so long to the redbreasts song
That we almost forgot the holly.
Then the light died out of the golden day,
And the moon showed her svery bow,
And we never knew if our homeward way
Lay through rose-eaves or drifted snow.
One bright stars shone in the pale, clear sky;
And my mother said it was folly
10 listened so long to robins song
But we brought home the Christmas holly
You stir not now from our ingle nook.
And my hair is white like the snow;
For the story you told mid the sunset gold
Is story of long ago.
AS hand clasps hand by the winter fire.
Do you deem it an old wfes folly
That my eyes grow wet with sweet regret
When look at the Christmas holly

CHRISTMAS TIMES
IN SEQUACHEE
Christmas Tree and Praise,
Drunks and DeViIment.

The Christmas season passed
pretty fairly quiet in Sequachee
Ad no one was killed or wound
The principal event of course
was the Christmas Tree at Owen
Church Christmas Eve for the
Sunday School scholars, for
which some $50 had been secured.
The excellent program published
in the News last week was car
ried out in good style, and prov
ed very entertaining. The Lew
is sisters of Dunlap scored very
great success with their duet.
Santa Claus took a tumble when
he hit the stage to the immense
delight CT the Youngsters. The
tree was not illuminated, the
modern idea being not to run the
risk of fire by having lighted
candles in the branches. The
behavior inside the church was
very good, until the conclusion
of the exercises when some ex-
citement had to be raised, and a
an idiot set loose a lot of the ex-
plosive known as "son-of- -a-gun'
upon the floor, and there was
racket enough for while, and
some excitement too. Outside,
the boys kept up an incessant
cannonade with giant firecrack-
and added to the din.
Christmas Day was very cold,
rainy, and disagreeable, and the
most of the people kept close to
their fresides. Ashotgun shoot
was organized and purses were
shot for, and some of the shoot
ers won and the most lost. Fri
day and Saturday nights fire.
crackers were exploded and fire.
works shot off, the youths chas-
ing each other with lighted Rom
an candles, with imminent dan
ger of burning out an eye Tor
somebody.
A few rows were scheduled, by
the devil presumably, during the
festivities, but nothing serious.
Christmas booze was on hand in
plenty, and was pretty rotten
Judging from the vomit spots
along the highways. Several
rows are reported as a result Of
the booze, and weeping women
and scared children were seen.
NaMedeyil in human guize secur-
ed whisEed for a minor, who, af-
ter he got properly loaded up
with bust-head, made fool OF
himself, to the anguish OF his
people. Another drunk was an
aged gentleman who wanted to
lick somebody or somthlng, Dut
was too drunk to figure out just
how to about it. Several lighter
booze tests were recorded, the
individuals taking on just enough
to make them put on the airs OF
highly respectable and sober gen
tlemen. which was highly ludi-
crous to those who saw them per-
form. One old boy sang a poet
ical effusion of his composition,
which was another bright spot
among the Christmas drunkS.
The shower of fireworks did not
sui one person in this town and
he asked the youths to please
keep away from his premises
This did not suit another party,
and he is reported to have said
with maudlin earnestness that
latter they shot away all their
fireworks they could have his
.3S to shoot. "
This year closes the fireworks
business in Tennessee. 1t is Tor
hidden by State Law, and TINS
year the Fire Commissioner out
4 5ity for few suffering store
Keepers, gave a general permit
that fireworks might he sold'

always offending to their own business
and letting other peoples alone In
some sections this kind is scarce.
