HOWORS
MEMORY OF DR..
JOHN w. GATES

Rock Bridge County, Va. The mar
riage of Dr. Gates parents took place
on June 3, 1919.
DR.. Gates was educated in Mary
vile under DR.. Isaac Anderson at
the old College, from which he grad
uated, with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts, in the class Of 1851. He also
took complete medical course and
graduated at the Nashville Medical
College. While in the Medical Col
lege he gained fifty-dollar prize for
proficiency in anatomy, having car
ried the honor off among two hun
dred students. He returned to Mary
vile, where he began his practice of
medicine about the year 1857. From
the beginning he commanded the re-
spect of the community as being one
of the most thoroughly educated and
skilled physicians that had ever
practiced in our section.
The war interrupted his career, as
it did the career of all the young men
of the South. He and his brother
Charles enlisted together in the Con-
federate army at the outbreak of
hostilities in 1861, He was COM
missioned as First Lieutenant of Cav
airy under Capt. W. c. Holland, a
company belonging to the battalion
commanded by Colonel George R.
Mcclellan. Soon afterwards, how.
ever, he was appointed surgeon in the
army and resigned his Heutenancy.
He served as surgeon for three years
in the field and in hospitals in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. He
was present on the battle field at
Shiloh and witnessed the death of
General Albert Sidney Johnston. He
rendered most faithful, skillful, and
untiring service during these danger
Gus and arduous years. He resigned
from the service in 1864 and came
back to Maryville, where he resumed
his practice.
On May 81, 1864, at Boyds Greek,
Sewer County, Tenn, he was united |
in marriage by Rev. John M. Cald-
we'll, the son-in-law of DR.. Anderson,
with Miss Mary Elizabeth Brabson,
daughter of Benjamin D. and Eliza
beth Toole Brabson. The young
couple set up housekeeping in the
house which stood where DR.. John
now lives. In 1867 they re-
moved to their residence, Sunny Hill,
as they called it, where they had their
happy home for thirty-nine years.
They removed from their old home,
which was sold to the county for the |

Report From New Hotel Com
mittee Will be Presented to
the Board.
FULL ATTENDANCE URGED
Suggestion That New Station
be Built by Southern to be
Considered.

The Board of Trade meets in
monthly session tonight, Thurs
day. A full attendance of the
members is urged,as matters of
very great Importance are to
be considered.
One of the questions of most
interest to come before the or
ganization is that of a county
agricultural agent. 1t is be-
lieved that such an agent can
do more not only to make bet
ter farms than any one else, but
also that he will be the fore
runner in the county fairbeing
planned for next fall.
The hotel committee Will pre-
sent a report which will be of
interest.
Suggestion has been made
that the Southern railway be
requested to erect a more mod
ern station in Moryville, ana
this suggestion will be present
ed to the board for considera-
ton.
Other matters of interest, in
the home coming prof.
ect, will be discussed.

where they still hold services.
"The church was organized
with twenty-five charter mem
bers. From its organization
up to the present, there have
been 1875 members added. To-
day the Christian church is no
longer a mission, but it has
grown to a real church. l be-
lieve | would be safe in saying
that no church in the history
of Maryville has made the pro-
gress that the Christian church
has made. While the church
has no great wealth, the men,
bers are loyal.
"The property of the church
is now valued at $1,000. Plans
are now being devised for a
new building, and it will not be
long until Maryville will be
blessed with a modern, we'll
Christian church"
The church is indebted to
Mr.. Hayes, their beloved pas
tor, for the rapid growth the
church has made and is MAX
ing. Mr.. Hayes is a man who
is liberal in his views and al
ways stands for the right thing.

BLOUNT COUN7TAN
GETS THREE PRIZES
NFAT STOCK SHOW
Charles Prof1tt Carries Off Honors
Uith Duroc Jerseys and Berkshire
Sells the Three for $12O at
Close of Shouv

Chas. Profitt, one of Blount
county's raisers of registered
live stock, carried off three
prizes in the fat stock show al
the University of Tennessee the
past week. He won first prize
for best Duroc Jersey hog en-
tered over l year, for the best
Berkshire entered over l year,
and for the best Duroc Jersey
entered under one year. One
of his Duroc Jerseys also car
ried off championship i n its
class, and as a result of this ex-
hibit he won $65 in prizes and
sold the three hogs for $12O.
Thus Mr.. Proffitt came out of
the show $185 to the good.
Mr.. Proffitt is a judge of good
live stock, and this is one reas-
on why he won the prizes. This
is the second year he has TAX
en- first prize for Durocs, and
he will be given a silver loving
cup as evidence of his success.
Mr. Proffitt attended the short
course in agriculture at the uni
versity and there acquired a
knowledge of live stock judgr
ing that can hardly be acquired
elsewhere. He won a prize of
$40 in gold for his superior
judging of cattle while at the
university.
At the live stock show one
year ago he studied the class
and form of the Berkshire that
carried off first honors, and he
decided he could produce a
better hog. That he made good
his resolution is evidenced by
winnings at the show.
II should like to impress up
on farmers the necessity of at
tending this short course at the
state university" said Mr..
Proffitt." The farmer is a busi-

At a meeting of the faculty of Ma
ryville College, held on Tuesday, Jan.
IS, 1916, the following action was
taken:
Whereas, the long and honorable
life Of DR.. John Wilkinson Gates, a
member of the Class of 1851, and
for some years past the oldest living
graduate of the College, has just
been terminated by death, be it
Resolved, l. That we place on
record this expression Of our deep
sorrow at the loss we have sustained
in the removal of one so long and
honorably a representative of the
work of the old College with which
he and we have been connected; but
that, at the same time, we also place
on record this expression of our
gratitude to Almighty God for the
long and greatly useful life that was
granted to our departed friend.
Resolved, 2. That we commend to
the young people of the present gen
GRAFTON the inspiring example that
this life presents of scholarly prepar-
alton for life's work, Of unWavering
honor in the toll of his profession, of
faithful devotion to duty, and Of
conscientious performance of the
work that Providence assigned to his
hands. The annals of the College
and the work Of the world have been
enriched by this life of devotion.
Resolved, 2. That, while sympa-
thizing with the kindred of our
friend in their great loss, we con-,
gratulate them that he was allowed
to round out a long and useful life
and to enjoy with them years of a
tranquil and happy old age; and that
his end was peace.

ness man, and wants to get the
best results from his work and
investment. Unless he has the
knowledge that is required to
pick a prize winning animal he
cannot develop one. He must
know a good hog, or COW, or
horse when he sees it and must
know why he is a good one. He
can, with the knowledge there
acquired, pick out the qualities
of winners, and then develop
these qualities in his own
stock"
Mr.. Proffitt has some of the
finest animals in the county.
He also raises sheep and says
that he expects to come home
a winner in the sheep depart
meent next year.
John Hitch, another of the
county's leading farmers, ent-
cred some Aberdeens in the fat
stock show. His were not win
ners, but this does not discour-
age Mr.. Hitch, as he has good
stock and he will turn out win
ners. The experience and in
formatioI1 gained'by b3m at the
show are worth more than the
prizes and he notifies competi-
tors to beware III the future.

For Southern Girls Who Have
Been Successful in Their To-
mato Club Work.
PLAN BY GOVERNMENT
Purpose is to Start Girls With
One Crop and Add Other
Crops Annually.

Washington, D. c. Feb,2-
To meet the demands of thous-
ands of southern girls who
have been successful in raising
a tenth-acre of tomatoes and
who want to Ego on" the repre-
sentatives of the Department
of Agriculture and the State
colleges in charge of the can
ming clubs in the fifteen South
ern States have worked out
what might be called progress
8iVe, ,four-year practical garden
and canning course for girls.
The purpose of this course is
to start the girls with one crop
and from year to year add new
annual crops, encourage them
to run winter and glass-frame
gardens, and finally in the
course Of their work to lead
them to plant perennial small
and orchard fruits. 1t is hoped
that under this system the girls
will gain knowledge of how to
handle a wide variety of gar
den vegetables and trees and
that the member by the time
she gets ready to go to high
school or college will have a
garden of perennial fruits that
readily can be cared for by
other members of her family.
The first year of girls club
work throughout the Southern
States consists in raising toma-
toes in tenth-acre gardens. 1t
is believed by those in charge
that every girl should first
master this plant and learn
how to utilize or sell it's pro-
ducts before she takes up other
vegetables and fruits. In Sec
lions where tomatoes suffer
from blight and wilt, however,
It is sometimes necessary to
substitute another garden crop
The second-year girls con-
,inue to grow tomatoes on one
lalf of their garden space and
levote the other half of the
space to one other crop, pre-
beans, peas, peppers,
)kra, beets, or onions. The
girls also are encouraged to
,tartwinter gardens in the late
summer and fall on one-fourth
o one-half Of the tenth-acre
)lots. Lettuce, spinach, and
iale are the recommended.
The Chird-year girls grow
hree crops, containing the two

eggplant, fig toma-
Oes, satisfy, parsnips, or horse
adish. In each case those in
harge of the work select the
vegetables with re-
erence to local agricultural
onditions, market demand,
nd suitability for canning.
Gany garden combinations
ther than those suggested are
possible. For instance, if the
ommunity is interested in can
ing soup mixtures and Creole
auce, they must secure from
heir gardens tomatoes, pep
'ers, okra, and onions. In
ruit-growing sections the girls
re advised, when conditions
re right, to substitute from 5.

retary Daniels views regarding the

fore the house naval committee.
Secretary Daniels began his state
ment TO the committee with a dis
cussion of personnel. The annual
loss from terminating enlistments
was 1855 men, he said. and
wastage from other causes was
$3.50. To add a single man TO the
full quota. he added, meant that the
$3.50 must be first restored by new
enlistments. Requirements are so
rigid that only one in six applicants
Is accepted.
Conflicting views as TO the proper en-
listed strength he said. were based OF
different ideas an to how many ships
should be kept in reserve and how many
men should constitute reserve crews. His
own recommendations, based on tho ex-
perience of the department and advice
OF many officers, looked to n total en-
listed strength of 81 .9j2 men.
