Whereas, by her noble Chistian life
of service and many deeds of kind

hundreds, yea thousands, of young
people throughout the length and
breadth of the land to higher ideals
and loftier conceptions of life, max
ing it possible by her arduous toll
and unselfsh devotion for them to
better fit themselves for life by OBJ
tanning an education and,
Whereas, by her always sweet dis
position and charming personality

was a true and faithful member of

Christian life, standing for the noble
virtues,

Noble Woman Dies

died only a few years ago. There
were five children in the family, and
she is the first one to pass away. Mrs.
Sarah H. Hood, a sister, widow of
Gen. R. N. Hood, lives in Knoxville.
Of her brothers Jasper is builder
and contractor in Maryville, John is
connected with the Southern Railway
with headquarters at Bristol, and
Gray is living in California.
Miss Henry was educated in the
schools of Maryville, and in Mary
vile college, from which she gradu-
ated.
In 1882 she went to Japan with
her friend, Miss Gina Porter, as a
missionary of the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions. In a storm at
sea she was so seriously injured that
after one year in Japan she was
forced to return to her native land.
She never entirely recovered from
this injury, but after some time she
recovered enough to begin teaching.
For several years she served in the
schools of Maryvillet and Knoxville,
but from 1890 to the present she has
been connected with the teaching
force of Maryville college.
In 1903 she was asked by the d.
rectors of Maryville college to enter
upon the work of attempting to Sc
cure contributions to provide scholar
ships, by which needy students could |
be assisted in their effort to win an |
education. She finally agreed to
make the attempt solely because she
thought it her duty to do so. She
proved to have remarkable powers
and they everywhere won hearts and |
friends. The first trip she made she
secured $1,000, but each year the |
amount has steadily increased until |
this year she secured $4,000 for the |
college.

School Term
Too Short


building and the consolidated school
building at Meadow.
This year a school wagon will be
operated to the Niles Ferry road
school to convey children who live
at distance from the building.
There are other places in the
county which are badly in need of
consolidated school building, but it
is not known what steps wi Je TAX
en- this year to erect these. When
ever money is taken from the gener-
al school fund to erect new buildings,
this means that the children must pay
for the buildings, by being deprived
of a part of the school term. Last
year the term was cut short on &C
count of lack of funds. The
children need the schooling, and the
county ought to make other provis-
ion for erecting buildings, rather
than to take it out of the school
money derived from the taxes as
now received.
Blount county ought to have an
eight months school. Money spent
in educating the children is an in
vestment that will pay greater re-
turns than can come from any other
kind of investment by the county or
by individuals. In the last annual
school report of the county, for the
year ending June 80, 1915, the value
of school buildings in the county, not
including the town, totaled 500, 300.
No good bushes man would put that
much money into any kind of bust
ness plant to be operated only five
months out of the year. The interest
on this investment would amount to
more than $4,000, per year, and for
the time the buildings stand idle, the
interest would amount to more han
$4,000. A county cannot afford to
do business in way that a good
business man cannot, and education
al leaders, realizing this, are approx
ing of and conducting schools
throughout the entire year. Of
course, Blount county is not ready
to begin the year-round school,
but Blount county is ready to have
longer school terms than were af-
forded children 10, Is and 20 years
ago. The schools ought to have
more money.
The rate of school tax on property
per 500 levied by the state for
elementary schools, is Is cents.
The rate levied by the county is 80
cents, making a total of As cents
school tax coming to the county.
The rate of school tax levied on polls
by both the state and the county, is
100 Gems.
The school tax in Blount county
is higher than the tax in Knox county
which gets 40 cents where Blount
county gets As cents. If property
in Blount county were assessed more
nearly at what it should be, the
schools would receive larger funds
and an eight months school term, OF
even a nine months school term
would be possible.
If the county had made an appro'
priation for school buildings erected
last year, and school money spent or
them had been used to operate the
schools, the county could have had 6
seven and one-half months term.

from me, I'll probably be with you
by tomorrow or the next day. / shall
not leave here till have come to some
sort of an understanding about this
property. They dare not loot the place
openly. Here are the girls now"
Nolan, looking north under the
sharp of his hand through the partially
opened back door, was volleying low
toned curses.
II beg pardon, sir, butt couldn't
help it. There go our horses, sir"
He pointed to two little brown spots
that showed momentarily against the
brown of the hillside. The two
Americans horses were loose and had
taken the chance to return to their
own camp-five miles away.
IT'S a good thing we saw it in time
Look out! Low bridge for all thin
skulls!"
Whee-e-e! A bullet whined past
Upton and buried itself in the heavy
door post. 1t came straight from the
hill where Kynaston and Nolan had
secreted themselves an hour before,
away up in the rear of the house.
Upton dragged them back into the
house and slammed the door, which he
barred.
Il wonder what in the world that
means" said Mrs. Fame breathlessly,
oblivious to the fact that Kynaston
had taken and kept hold of her hand.
1T MEANS" said Upton, working
feverishly to close the shutters of the
windows on the north side, that
they've got men on that side of us
Now, Kynaston, you said that you
could signal your sergeant to come to
help us. What was your signal?"
Kynaston shook his head.
"We must use every other means
before we do that" he said slowly.
"If our men cross the line as an armed
body it means Intervention and-war."
I'VE haven't got whole lot Of
choice" commented Upton savagely.
Don't you see that they've got us
surrounded on all sides! There
comes their line, moving out Of the
cottonwoods to the attack now. Get
to your loopholes, men,"
And Kynaston, peering through the
narrow loophole that Upton had cut
in the shutter, saw thin line of men
moving forward across the open land
in widely extended order.
The attack was on.

clump of cottonwood trees to the
south. He noted that they came for
ward very slowly, seeking cover care
fully, and that they were good seven
hundred yards away.
At that range his own rifle and that
of Nolan were the only two that could
be counted upon for efficient service,
the ordinary hunting rifle rarely being
sighted for over three hundred yards.
There were five other men in the
house-Mr. Upton, John Wilkes, an
old miner about sixty-five years old;
an American mine surveyor named
Wilson, and two. Mexican servants,
one of whom was the cook. In addi-
tion to these there were himself and
Nolan, Mrs. Fame and Miss Upton, and
an old Mexican woman who had lived
at the place for twenty years.
First of all, Upton-it's bit late
to ask about 1t now If arrangements
have not already been made-but how
is your water supply?"
Upton looked at him, frankly puz-
zled for moment.

the slope to a windmill family dis
cerned against the line of the green
alfalfa patch.
"That'll be the first point of attack
then," growled Kynaston. Nolan,
set your sights for six hundred and
fifty yards and cut loose at the first
person you see going for the windmillE
They'll be trying to disconnect it."
TOO late, sir" said Nolan, peering
out. They've got it already"
Worse luck!" snapped Kynaston.
He turned again to Upton.
How much water in the house?"
Upton ran quickly back into the
kitchen, whence he came back with q
bucket in his hand, look Of chagrin
upon his face.
There is only this one bucket and
it isn't full by long shot. Whatn
we do, Kynaston?"

Put that bucket somewhere where
1t can't be upset, Upton. It's al! we've

get any more.
Make the ladies sit down on the
floor. Upton, below the line Of the
loopholes, so that no stray shot can

There they come! And by Jove,

"Will you see the flag Of truce, Up
