GREAT HOME COMING
OF BLOUNT COUNTIANS

coming week were enthusiastical-
! ly discussed, and Mr.. F. Roger
Miller of Morristown, who had
in charge the Hamblen County
Reunion, was appointed chairman
! of a committee to take the mat
ter up with absent members.
1t is probable that the Mary
vile Board of Trade will in the
near future take steps to secure
the cooperation of the various
organizations and churches of
the town, which will make it
possible for Maryville and Blount
County to take an active part in
calling home our army of Reser-
visits.
All over this country and in
foreign lands representatives of
Blount County and Of Maryville
and Maryville College are doing
their part in the worlds work.
They are rejecting credit upon
their native soil, and we are
proud of them. But in the mean
time Maryville has not been
standing still. Many of those
who have gone abroad to find
their fortunes or win renown
would view with happy surprise
Maryville with her paved streets,
her waterworks, her new banks,
and her enlarged churches, and
Blount County with her new
pixies, her aluminium plant. and
her improved farms.
The Times would be glad to
hear from its subscribers, par
ticularly those living out of town
in regard to this.
Send us a card giving the
names of old residents to whom
you would like invitations sent.
With proper cooperation we
can have a homecoming week
that will rejoice the heart Of the
6loesC nj, q lssis+=;.s.sA T place US in the
front rank with other progressive
counties, and perhaps, W h 0
knows?-convince some of our
wanderers that "home keeping
hearts are happiest".

printing Blount instead of Monroe
but this mistake was only in the
index and not in the Act itself
and does not change the act in
the least. But apparently some
persons just looked at the index
without reading the Act or else
read the Act and did not under
stand it and unintentionally
spread this false report.
| have no malice against any
one for circulating this report
because | believe that those who
circulated the report, who ever
they may have been, did not do
so with the intention of injuring
me but because they had not
read the Act carefully, or went
by the index without reading the
Act itself. 1t only calls to our
attention the Importance of read
ing and fully considering any
law before giving opinions in
regard to it.
Blount County has no special
or local quail law and is under
the General Game Law of the
State of Tennessee (as far as
quail is concerned) which declares
that the open season for quail
each year shall be from Nov. Is
to Jan. l, a period of a month
and half.
thank you for your interest
in the matter and for your kind
consideration in giving me the
privilege of this statement in
you'NNNIumns.

Editor OF The MaryVllle Times,
Maryville, Tenn.
Dear Sir
In response to your request for
a statement from me in regard
to a rumor that has been circulat-
ed over the County it affords me
pleasure to give the public the
facts through The Times.
The story is abroad that during
the last session of the Legislature
a bill was passed making it un-
lawful to kill quail in Blount
County for three years.
This is absolutely untrue. No
such law was ever passed or even
introduced by myself or by any
one else. There is no such law.
| suppose this false report
originated in this manner. Hon.
S. C. eagle, of McMinn, an
honorable gentleman and very
good friend of mine, introduced
and had passed a bill making it
unlawful to kill quail for three
years in McMinn and Monroe
Counties. The bill applies only
to counties of certain population
and McMinn and Monroe are the
only two counties of the State
coming within the requirements
of the Act. Mr.. eagle is a care
full man and he made no mistake
as any one can see, who will take
the trouble to investigate. He
wrote the Bill just right so that
it only applies to the two counties
for which he intendedit (McMinn
and Monroe) and to no others.
This is House Bill NO. 593
Chapter No. 2S9 of the Private
Acts of the State of Tennessee
for the year 1915 found on page
1046 Of the Book of Private Acts
of 1915, and does not apply to
Blount nor to any other counties
but McMinn and Monroe. But
in printing the Book of Acts a
mistake was made in the index
both in the back of the book and
on the margin of page 1916 by

In a recent Knoxville paper a
special from Morristown proposed
a plan for a homecoming week
for wandering Tennesseeans.
Two years ago Morristown had
a reunion which was said to be
the greatest event of the kind in
the history of southern CONNER
cial organizations. Sixteen hun
dred wandering sons and daught-
ers of Hamblen county came
home to the family gathering in
the old home town to greet each
other, who would probably never
otherwise have met again in this
world. Says this notice,
Among those who registered
during homecoming week here
were citizens who had been away
fifty to sixty-five years and re-
turned then for their first visit.
Many had not seen the old home
in ten, to thirty years. Long
distance records were held by
former Hamblen county boys
who returned from the Philip
pines, Canada and Panama. Sew
eral motor parties came from
other states, one from Sedan,
Kansas. Many drove through
from other Tennessee counties in
buggies, hacks and covered wag-
ons, camping along the route and
making the visit to the old home
the feature of a two or three
weeks outing.
The Morristown board of trade
proposes that the commercial or
ganization of East Tennessee
unite, determine upon a suitable
date, announce that the week Sc
lected is home coming week in
East Tennessee, and send out a
worldwide summons to East
Tennesseeans to come home for
ttiil1e big fasfilli:ss reunion
1t is said that there are more
than one thousand natives of
East Tennessee in New York
city, alone. Countless thousands
of East Tennesseeans and their
sons and daughters are scattered
throughout the United States,
with fair representation in every
state and territory and in every
large city of the nation. A large
majority of these have been
away so long that they are not
iu touch with the old home, and
yet the love of the old home
needs only to belawakened by an
invitation to return to their nat
i've heath.
In accordance with this sug-
gestion a meeting was held at
Knoxville last Friday of the East
Tennessee Association of Com
Executives. Several Sec
of local Boards of Trade
were present, among them J. L.
Tweed of Maryville. At this
plans for such a home

was a visitor at Martha Henry
Hall from Saturday until Monday.

ally entertained by Miss Elizabeth

The evening was spent enjoying
the many games and diversions
planned, and last, but not least,

| Washington, II h e nations
principal farm crops this year are
worth about five and a half billion
dollars, exceeding by more thar
half a billion their value in 1914
the previous banner value yeal
in ghe country's crop history.
There has been an unprecedented
harvest, many of the crops ex.
ceeding their best records, anc
high prices due to the influence
of the European war have con.
tributed to swell the total value.
Statistics announced today by
the department of agriculture in
its November crop report base
values on prevailing November
prices. Corn, with a production
of $3.50, 500, 900 bushels, 4,0O0,-
900 bushels below the record
crop is worth 81, ,913, OPS, OIL,
the most valuable corn crop ever
grown. 1t exceeds the former
biggest value crop, that of 1914,
by $3.50, 100000.
Wheat, with the largest pro-
duction ever known in any
country, LOOP, 029, 900 bushels, or
about one-fourth of the worlds
wheat crop this year, is worth
1892, 1888, 999, or $54, 900, 900 more
than the record, made in 1914.
The oats crop also was a record
.cae, both in point of production
and value. The harvest was

were records in point of value.
The Approximate value of the
barley crop is $118,577 682; the
rye crop $37, 1861, 4O3; buckwheat

In this years harvest the corn
crop passed t h e 3.OOO,OOO 900

and the wheat crop crossed the
one billion bushel mark for the
first time.
Potato prospects declined

the crop now being placed at
359, 55s, 600 bushels. That is
46, 900, 900 less than last years
crops and the prospective mode
rate supply for winter use is re-
flected in the sharp advance in
farm price from 1877 cents a
bushel on October l to 6O.8 cents
on November l. The November |
price is g. cents higher than a
year ago. The crop is shortest
in the northern states which
grow the surplus O f the late
crop. The quality, too, is below

Since the injury of Mr.. Jared
a member of the University O.

of the patrons of the school have
stated that they preferred tina
their sons not play any more foo
hall this year. This school hal
always been glad to comply will
the rights and wishes of its pa
irons, consequently, all the foo
ball suits have been turned il
and the games for the remainder
of the season were cancelled

practice of basket ball next week.
Beginning with Nov. 10Th,
each department of the schoo
will spent one hour each week
rendering a literary program be.
fore the students of the school,
These programs are to consist OF
orations, essays, debates, etc.
At the end of the present term,
an open meeting will be held to
which all the public will be in
vited. After Christmas, these
open meetings will be monthly,
More attention is going to be
given to literary work in this
school from henceforth than ever
before. One of the needs of the
average preparatory student to-
day is the ability to express him
self focibly, clearly, and fluently.
A program committee will be
selected from the student body
and the faculty. 1t will be the
duty of this committee 2nge
az programs and pest then. F
the bulletin board at least tn
weeks before the program is u
be rendered. There will also be
an examining committee selected
from the faculty whose duty it
will be to go over the work in
detail, with each participant.
This part of the work is going
to he given special emphasis in
this school even if it has to be
done at the sacrifice of other
work, which we had advertised
and planned to install the first of
the year, namely Manual Train
ing. Are we or are we not be-
ginning to seek the line of least
resistance in our preparatory
education; which after all is the
most important part OF an edu-
cation; by discarding or failing
to emphasize the value of the
Cultural in order to make popular
that which is called vocational?
This does not mean however
that there will be any weakening
of our Four Year Agricultural
Course on our Business Courses,
but that these courses as well as
our Classical and Normal Train
ing Courses will be strengthened
by this literary training.
