THE HIGHWAY PANACEA.

They tell us the Dixie Highway ia
the cure for all our troubles. that 1t
means prosperity for us, and growth.
If 1t would cure our hogs of the dis
ease which has been sweeping them
away for the past few years. and over
which our farmers have worried and
lost money until they are desperate.
the Dixie Highway will be gladly well
coined, and th cost of it will be re-
garded as nothing.
Wonder If the Dixie Highway will
ensure the running of the Whitweli
mines on better time, and also big
ger output SO that men will not have
TO roll in the mud for a ton or two.
Wonder If the Dixie Highway will
knock ont the convict labor that
makes stoves and prevents the stove
makers at South Pitsburg from having
the full benefit of their trade.
Wonder il the Dixie Highway will
settle this foreign war. and restore the
Sequatchie Handle Works its trade In
handles lost since last August.
Wonder If the Dixie Highway will
give Jasper. Kimball and Victoria big
plants SO that the peo-
pie there can have some industry from
which to accumulate tax money.

We think not.
In fact, we are slaves, called free
men. but really slaves.
We have asked for the right to vote
on this bond question and it has been
denied. Our appeals have been for
naught. Deaf ears are laid to every
sound we utter, and the bond issue is
rolled over us with the deadly motion
of car of Juggernaut.
Why is it soY
1t is because they are afraid they
will lose their beloved bond issue.
which will be paid for in the sweat
and blood of the people, If they should
allow the measure to go to the vote OF
the people.
They knew it. and were afraid to-
risk placing the destiny of the bond is
sue in the hands Of the people.
But retribution will come some day,
and the people have fixed the names
Of those who placed this bondage In
their minds with flaming Letters, and
some day they will have vengeance.
The people are long suffering, but
they never forget You may Cypress
and then turn and fondle them, but
they never forget the oppressor, and
some day they will have their chance. I,

There is q vacant chair, an empty
place, sileneed footstep. gone from

Eliza Ellen Moore Monrca
She was born March %, 1873, was
married to Mr.. n. l. Monroe March
81, 1907. She departed this life June
10, 1915 She professed faith In Christ
during a revival at Cedar Springs con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Ramsey in 1897,
and joined the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian Church at the close of q revival

Mrs. Monroe taught in the Morgan
County schools for a term Of eight
years and later moved TO Hartman,
Roane County, Tenn, where she has
resided for the past two years, where
Mr.. Monroe was engaged in merchand-
Using.
She was devoted wife, a faithful
teacher, a loyal christian, possessing
those noble qualities that make life
beautiful, that sends forth into the
lives of others a ray of sunshine to
brighten their pathway. However
keenly we feel the loss of this noble
woman and her life here, our thought
enlarges to something of the new
measure of her experience, as we say
with reverent joy:
"And doubtless unto thee is given
A life that bears immortal fruit,
In such great offices as suit
The best energies of heaven"
After the sun has set beyond the
high mountains, as shadows gather. in
the valleys, we look up to the SUBMITS
and behold the wondrous glow which
shines and burns on the heights, de-
parting day TRANSPORTED in glorious
color, thus when noble life departs
and we who are left behind feel thick
ening about us the darkness Of be-
reavement, we may look upward and
see wrought for us, in the blending OF
beautiful memories and ardent hopes,
the miracle of Divine love, the earth
lv life of those we have revered and
cherished set in the splendor Of the
promise of the life immortal; then In
stead of mourning, let up look up and
address her in the words of the poet:
''Thy day has come, not gone,
Thy sun has risen. not set.
Thy life is now beyond
The reach of death or change.
Not ended, but begun,
o, noble soul. o, gentle heart,
Hail and farewell"

done in good faith and without recon-
pense beyond the few subscriptions
sent us by friends who endorse our
position. We have lost practically
half our business over the matter, but
would lose all Of 1t rather than give

right. We will live somehow. have
done so 10 the past. and can do so
again. We thank our friends for their
help. We also thank onr enemies for
their help in the past. but as great
many Of them owe this Office divers
amounts from Soc up to $1,000. we
suggest they pay up before withdraw
