Mr.. Tuggle is being urged to
enter the race for the Office of
County Judge Of Knox County.
He is well known to all citizens
of Knox County. He has served
the County twice as County At
torney and has made success at
the practice of law. He would
not accept the office for the
money there is in it but for the
love of the people and to get the
County out of debt. He would
sacrifice four years of his valu-
able time from the practice at
bar, to serve the people whom
he loves.

Bessie Holt Dead.

Mrs. Bessie Holt, who was
shot Thursday night, the 9th
inst, died Monday morning from
the gunshot wounds received
from Charles Randalls, who is
now in Jail awaiting trial.
This in our judgment is the
worst piece of murder that has
been committed in the County.
The case of Mrs. Robt. Broughton
was bad indeed, but she was
killed for money. This woman
a stranger who had only been
here for little while, possibly
less than a month, was cruelty
murdered for nothing, and that
too while she was alone in the
world. her husband having gone
to their former home at Morris
town, Tenn, to bring the little
earnings they had saved up to
their little home where they
had come to live.
We have tried to uphold the
good name of Knox County and
her citizens, and have refrained
from publishing the few bad
deeds that have been done, but
when it comes to case like this
we believe that the world should
kn,w it, and we believe that the
officers and citizens as we'll,
should wake up, and at once put
down such foul murders as this
by giving the guilty the full
benefit of the law. Not until
this is done will we be any better
off than we are now. We hope
that those who have the control
of these matters will leave no
stone unturned.

They are also making a 400

the work and will have all the
additional extensions ready in

will have water that is pure and
there will be no question as to
one getting typhoid using water

have been done long ago had it
not been that it was necessary to
have new franchise and the
company did not feel that it
should go to the additional ex-
pense until a franchise and con-
tract could be agreed upon be-
tween the city and company.
The last franchise is a much
better one than the first, as the
city council secured some reduc-
tons that make it getter for the
consumers and at the same time
made it agreeable to the wishes
of the company,

At the meeting it was decided
to sell Red Cross Seals for aid

After the business was dispos-

Through the active efforts of
the Civic Club about seventy
heads of families have been sum-

plain why they are not sending
their children to school. All of
these parties made excuses and
promised to send their children
if excused this time and they
were released upon the positive
pledge that they would send
their children to school. If any
fail or refuse to do so the charge
is still aginst them and they will
again be brought into Court and
