APPRECIATION

1t is needless to say that we who
had charge Of the arrarg gements are
very much gratified over the success
Of the Field Day and Agricultural
Day held last Friday and Saturday.
This success was due to the united
effort of all. Thanks are due the
business men and others VINO subscip-
ed to the fund to defray The expenses
of the prizes, and those who gave in
dividual prizes, also to the owners oil
the Fairgrounds for the use OF their
grounds for the exercises. 80
Every member Of the committee
did his duty well. but especially did
the principals Of the Central High
School, the Cookeville City School
and the Algood School work untiring-
ly for the success of the undertaking
They were near at hand, and more
work fell to them than to others.
The interest the country teachers
took in working up an interest in their
schools and bringing them out was
much appreciated, and shows their
loyalty to the cause. In fact no
county superintendent ever had a
more loyal band of teahers. and this
means success for education in this
county. We WIN have Field Day
next year. and an Agricultural Day.
We may not make them any bigger,
but win make them better.
Respectfully,
j. N. HATFIELD, CO. Supt.

In 1914 Prof. M. T. Carlisle came to
Cookeville to teach school. Prof.
Sisk taught the year before and the
people wanted him to teach at the
Central High School, so they got Prof.
Carlisle from South Carolina. He Is
a fine teacher and all his students
like him; he taught us howsto drill
like they do at military schools; he
has taught us manual training ana
many other games and studies that
we were not in the habit Of having
He told us that we were going TO

Memories Of Childhood Stories
BY Clara Cox Epperson
remember, / remember
The stories / once read,
When all the house in slumber lay,
And they thought was IN bed.
Until the lamp would flicker low
Ny mind was far in fancy led.
That the stories of our childhood
should be Of the very best type. is
unquestionable. from the fact that the
impression made on the childish mind
viii last all through life, when later
and perhaps even deeper impressions
are obliterated from the mind.
I will never be able to forget the
tales of our old colored nurse, Aunt
Rachel, told Ms by the flreside long
ago. And the story of Raw-Head ana
Bloody Bones, which sent us to bed
shivering with fear, to lie for hours
with the cover drawn up over our
heads, afraid to move or open our
eyes for fear of the horrible sights
that might confront us in the terri
BILE dark, can still have power when
think of it to send the cold chills
chasing down my back, grandmoth-
er though be.
Although this horrible impression
can never be erased from my mind,
fortunately there are pleasanter ones
to also dwell in it forever.
The day that I went to a nearby
minister's home and his daughter aud
1 found an old magazine that had the
story Of Snow White and the little
Dwarfs in the back D. Il, will always
remain red letter day ia memory
l was allowed to take the magazine
home With me, and I read the 'sstory
over and over and the intense
JOY of that reading has never left me.
When later ii college I reai schhnnee
Weiss, the same sweet story of Snow
White in German, IL made the Ger.
man language forever dear to me,
and have kept that little, old, bat
tered German book when most Of the
other school books have been destroy
ed. because Of my love for that story.
Later followed the story Of Blue
Beard and the sad fate of his many
wives. which has been duplicated in
life by the cruelties Of Henry the
Eighth. the Ice Maiden. Jack the a.
ant Killer, Tom Thumb and many
other fascinating stories.
But another story that impressed
me greatly, and I think had a seri-
ous effect on my character, was sfo-
ry that read in school reader.
Third or perhaps Fourth, do not re-
member, but the heartbreak OF thar
story will never forget, and many

SENATOR LEA SPEAKS

Last Saturday was Luke Lea day
in Cookeville and the genial senator
was given royal reception. He was
met at the train by about 500 citi-
zens headed with the band. They
formed long double line down
which Senator Lea went, shaking
hands with every person IN line.
twenty-five autos were then loaded
with the senatorial party and mem
bers of the reception committee, go
ing to the public square. where Sen
ator Lea mingled with the crowd at
tending an agricultural, exhibit, and
then to the city school grounds, where
the speaking took place.
Here, comfortably seated in the
beautiful grove was splendid audi
ence of at least 1000 Putnam county
citizens waiting to hear the distin-
guished visitor speak. Senator o. X.
Holiday was chairman and intro
duced VIM, A. Hensley, who in appro-
pirate words introduced the speaker.
Senator Lea inspired by the large
audience and the knowledge that he
was among his friends, made one of
his strongest speeches. He was MS
tened to with closest attention
throughout and frequently applauded
as he delivered his telling blows. He
tersely reviewed his record as sena-
tor and pledged his adherence to
Democratic doctrine in the future,
scored his opponents fearlessly ana
told several stories that drove home
the point. The speech was master
ly effort and made many friends for
the speaker. s
At the close of the speech Mrs. j.
NJ. Dowell. president Of the local W.
G. T, O., in few we'll chosen words
presented Senator Lea a beautifuY,
bouquet in behalf of the ladies of Put
nam county, and flowers were also
presented by little Miss Mabel Holla-
day and Master Ban McDearman az
tokens Of esteem from our young peo-
pie.
It was great day for Senator Lea
and the cause Of good government
and inspired his friends to greater
efforts.
At Sparta
5 O'Clock Senator Lea left for
Sparta accompanied by about 50
Cookeville friends in autos At 1880
the senator delivered his message to
White county democrats, speaking in
the Courthouse. The room packed
jam full and many were unable to
gain entrance. Senator Lea was in
troduced by Mayor j. r, Tubb and
his remarks given close attention.
His reception in Sparta was cordial.
