NASHVILLE, Tenn,

Miss Maude Hughes, Formerly OF

About the Conflagation.

Mr.. S. NJ. jenkins,
Marion, KY.
Dear Sir
Marion friends doubtless heard
Immediately of the fearful fire
that swept Nashville, last We'd
nesday, March 22nd, but if any,
one was damaged by the fire
who has friends in Marion, | am
not aware of it though | cannot
speak with certainty.
The fire did not touch the cen.
tral portion of the city, but was
across the river, in what was
formerly Edgefield. the nearest
point of the burnt district being
about seven blocks from the
public square, which is one block
this side of the river.
The wind was blowing about
so miles an hour. The fire start
ed about noon and a negro cabin
caught first and that set a plan
ing mill on fire and then the
sparks and burning shingles set
other buildings and a spotted
fire resulted, which our splendid
fire department could not cope
with. All the engines in the city
were on the ground but were
powerless to check the fire; man.
sion and hovel went down before
It, and in many cases splendid
homes 81 brick and stone were
burned to the ground, and small
frame houses next to them es-
capped unharmed. Fire plays
many strange freaks, as well as
cyclones. The city wired for
help to Clarksville, Chattanooga,
Memphis and Louisville, but l do
not think any of the engines got
here, as the fire was subdued
about 500 P. M. 8.
About 36 blocks and 300 resi-
dences were burned. and this in
a fine residential section. One
Presbyterian church and one
Christian church. opposite each
other were burned. One large
public school went down. but
none of the children were hurt.
One Catholic church and school
burned, and their home for the
aged, called The Little Sisters
Of the Poor" also burned. These
last named were comparatively
new buildings and were beauti-
full. Fortunately, there were
only two sick people In this home
for the aged, 80 there was no
trouble in getting them out Of
the house. 1t was remarkable
with the large area Of the fire
and the great confusion, no one
was hurt, except the poor fire.
men were blistered. The whole
city tried to flock over to the
burning district and orders were
finally given for no one to cross
the principal bridge that led d
rectly into the burnt section. The

At all OF our teachers associa-

''The Highest Function Of the

The individuals who are respon-
sible for a good school, or a bad
one, are first; the trustee, second; (;
the teacher, third; the parents,

tendent. fifth.
There was a time when the
trustee in country district
school was looked upon as one Of
the weakest vessels in the COM
munity and one Of the most de-
spised because he had all the
taxes 10 collect care for the
school property and do all the
necessary work about the house
and grounds. gratis. Now il is
different somewhat. He may be
paid for some Of his work. He
is looked upon as a promoter Of
the best interests Of the county.
He may have under his control
the entire school interests Of the
county. Actually he is permit
ted and earnestly solicited to at
tend the X. E. A. every year.
In truth. he is the real founda-
tion Of the county schools. You
will find some Of the best men in
the county who are not ashamed
70 own that they are trustees.
The duties Of the trustee are
