Demand for Houses Cannot be Met

Residences are in great demand
in Maryville. The fact of the bust
ness is houses cannot be built rapidly
enough to meet the demands of the
people. A prominent real estate
dealer said the other day that there
is an average of at least forty re-
quests weekly for rental property in
Maryville, as well as large demand
for property that can be bought on
cash as we'll as easy payment terms.
Maryville is growing rapidly, and
hundreds of people are living in
tents because of inability to secure
residences. A prominent Maryville
citizen was in Knoxville the other
day and a friend asked him how
business is in Maryville. He replied
that things are going so rapidly here,
so many new houses going up, so

BLOUNT COUNTY ROAD
MAY BE EXTENDED TO
NORTH CAROLINA LINE

Plans wee formulated here Friday
to build highway connecting Mary
vile with Bryson City, N. c. The
meeting in which plans for the high
way were discussed, was held in the
office of B. W. Harmon, engineer of
Blount county who returned
from Knoxville where he was in con-
ference over the project with A. M.
Nelson, state highway engineer, of
Tennessee.
In discussing the highway suggest
ed, Mr.. Harmon said their plans were
very practical and feasible and that
road could be built through the
most picturesque scenery of the APP
palachian range of mountains. He
said that the proposed route had been
surveyed and that a grade not to
exceed four and one-half per cent
could be constructed at a reasonable
cost. In making their study of the
route the contour of the mountains
was closely followed and it is claim
ed cut of sixty miles is made be-
tween Knoxville and Atlanta Ga. and
that a Dixie Highway traveller could
easily make the trip from Knoxville
to Asheville, N. c., in six hours.
The highway commission of Swain
county, N. G., is expending 100000
on the roads of that county and Mr..
Patterson, chairman of the commits
sion who helped perfect the plans,
said that as soon as the Blount coun-
ty end of the highway is started they
would begin a connecting link.
Residents of this section are en-
thusiastic over the proposed road
and it is now just a question of CO.
operation between the two counties
to make the plan success.

One year ago this morning, on
Tuesday morning, Oct. 26, 1918, oc-
Cured the $4,000 fire on Main
street, which destroyed the frame
store building of C. J. Callahan, the
brick bakery building of Herman
Rueter and a frame residence be-
longing to Mr.. Rueter on the lot ad-
Joining the bakery building. Adjoin-
ing buildings and buildings on the
opposite side of the street, were
saved from the flames by the heroic
work of Maryville citizens who re-
sponded to the alarm of fire that was
sounded about o'clock.
The fire made quite vacancy on
the upper end of main street, and the
work of destruction left a depressing
feeling over the entire citizenship OF
the town. However, fortune quite
often comes to individuals, towns,
states, and nations, clad in the garb
of misfortune, and now twelve
months later, where the Two frame
buildings and old brick building
stood, are three of the handsomest
brick buildings in town. Mr.. Gala
han has erected a brick store build
ing, one story and basement, on the
site where his frame building was
burned. He moved into it about
two months from the date of the fire,
The lot on which the old bakery
building stood, was purchased, after
the fire, by Joe f. Reagan. On this
lot Mr.. Reagan has erected a hand
some bakery and store building, two
stories and basement, which would
do credit to any town or city. 1t is
work of beauty and convenience
throughout, and a building of which
Maryville should feel proud. He
moved into this building about the
first of this month. In it is one of
he best equipped and most modern
bakeries in the state, and Maryville
citizens are showing their apprecia-
ton cf It by using bread, cakes anr
pies baked there.
On the lot adjoining the bakery,

WHAT CAN BE DONE
BY FARMERS WITH
PURE BRED STOCK

Morr; stown, Oct, 24--Thc cXpc-
rience of Wylie o. Read furnishes
striking example of what any Ham,
blen county farmer may do with pure
bred live stock.
Seven years ago Mr.. Read invest
ed $1,000 in a foundation herd of
Shorthorn cattle. During the seven
years which followed he added pure
bred animals to the value of $4,000,
making a total investment of $4,000.
During this same period he sold
stock from the herd for total of
$4,000.
Mr. Read last week sold to John
R. Paschall, of Richmond, Va, 72
Shorthorns, including calves, for a
total of $4,000, probably the largest
single stock sale recorded in Ham,
blen county and one of the largest
in this section of the state. =

AUSTIN COMES
MONDAY NIGHT
Second District Congressman
Will Address Voters at 7
O'clock at Court House.

Hon. R. w. Austin, republican
nominee for congress from the
Second Congressional district, will
speak in Maryville Monday night,
Oct. 80, at 7 o'clock. Mr.. Austin
was to- have spoken here last week,
but on account of important business
in New York the Maryville date as
well as other dates in the district,
had to be cancelled. However, he
will be here next Monday night. Mr..
Austin is an eloquent speaker, and is
considered one of the best stump
campaigners in the party. He is one
candidate for election in November
who is a safe bet for every one inter-
ested in the election, as he has no
opponent. His address will be of
interest to every citizen, and a large
crowd is expected to be present.

Fires Anniversary
FINDS Big Change

and on which the frame residence
stood, which was burned, Mr.. Rueter
has erected a handsome theater
building. with a store room on
eitbe- side of the entrance. This
building will be completed in a few
day. and is indeed a show house
which will compare most favorably
with anything in Knoxville. The
theater has already been rented for
a term of ten years, and one of the
store rooms and a basement room
have also been rented, and there are
many applicants for the other store
room and basement room.
Dr. K. w. Wells owns the double
lot adjoining the theater building,
He did own three lots, with a front
age Of 66 feet, adjoining the Reuter-
property, but sold the third lot, with
22 feet front, to H. G. Tarvin, few
weeks ago. This property was sold
for about 5000 per front foot. DR..
Wells receives many applications
weekly from parties who want to
lease a building which he expects to
erect during the coming spring.

many rev induh,'les coming in, so
much business being done with the
merchants of the town, and railroad
traffic is so heavy, that he had not
had time or .quietude enough for
several weeks to really consider how
rapidly the town is growing, and
hence he took a day off and went to
Knoxville, where it was quiet and
peaceful, that he might get a better
perspective of Maryville and her
rapid growth. And that is about the
way it is going here.
The town is growing in every di-
rection, and hundreds of houses have
been built within the past few
months, and hundreds of others will
be built during the next few months.
Maryville is the coming town of
East Tennessee, and no man makes
mistake by coming to Maryville.

TERRAPIN
RETURNS TO SCENE
OF CHILDHOOD JOYS

Over nineteen years ago, W. G.
Hogue caught terrapin on his place
at Glover Hill, on which he engraved
his name, also the date. Three
years ago he went to Texas to make
his home. A few days ago, John
Rhea, a friend and neighbor of Mr..
Hogue during his residence here,
found the same terrapin within about
two hundred yards of Mr.. Hogue's
old residence, and within a quarter
of mile of the place where Mr..
Hogue caught the terrapin over nine
teen years ago. The name and date
were perfectly legible, and the dis
covery created considerable interest
among neighbors.

DOUBTFUL STATES
HOW HUGHES CAN WIN

A glance at the list of states shows
that Hughes, if he retains his strength
in those now conceded to him, needs
only to win New York and any other
state with eleven votes in order to
beat Wilson.
New York and Indiana, with the
latter's fifteen votes, would cinch the
election for Hughes.
New York and Ohio, with Ohio's
twenty-four votes, would more than
cinch it.
New York, Maryland, with eight,
and New Mexico, with three, would
just win the presidency for Hughes.
New York, Montana, with four,
Nevada, with three, and Colorado,
with six, would make Hughes vict-
ory.
Or New York and Wisconsin, with
thirteen votes, would win for Hughes
and the Republicans.
But it is entirely possible for
Hughes to lose New York and still
win the presidency, something which
is next to impossible for Wilson.
Needs Only Sc More
Hughes needs only ffty-six votes,
according to the present conservative
estimates. New York has forty-five
But Ohio with twenty-four, Indiana

EASY TO FIGURE
HUGHES WINNER
531 Votes in Electoral College
and 266 are Necessary for
Selection of President

Washington, D. C.,-With the
presidential election only two weeks
off. the managers of the two great
parties have settled down into the
work of fighting for the crucial states
The crucial states are those which
either Hughes or Wilson must carry
in order to gain the presidency. They
are included among the so-called
doubtful states, which in the past
were never surely Democratic or Re-
publican, and which today appears as
uncertain as in the past.
There are 531 votes in the elector-
al college and a, total of 266 is need
ed for victory.
At present twenty-One states with
a total of 21O electoral votes are
counted safely for Hughes; thirteen
states with total Of 149 votes are
counted safely for Wilson, and four
teen states with 172 electoral votes
are placed in the doubtful column.
So, mathematically speaking, the
task of the Republican managers ap-
pears somewhat easier than that OF
the Democratic, for on these esti-
mates, which are generally regarded
as conservative, it is seen that
Hughes must get only ffty-six of the
172 doubtful votes in order to win
while Wilson must get 1T of the 172
in order to stay in Washington
another four years as president.
