Cheering Someone On

Don't you mind about the triumphs
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the CROWN;
Never mind the little set backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when they're forgotten,
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
There's lot of sorrow around you
Lots of lonesOmeness and tears;
Lots of heartaches and of worry
Through the shadow of the years.
And the world needs more than triumphs;
More than all the swords we've drawn,
1t is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be there with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetened
In the souls you've saved from pawn
If you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.

Cookeville's Great Day
Magnificent United States Post
Office and Courthouse Thrown
Open.

Wednesday night of Febru-
airy 9, 1916, marks a mile post
in the growth of Cookeville
for on that date occurred the
greatest single event ever hav-
pening in our thriving city
the opening of our magnifi-
cent United States post office
and court house.
experimenting Architect,
Claude e. Parker conceived the
idea of having a public recep-
ton and informal dedication of
the building and under his eff
ficient guidance every detail of
the happy event was carried
to a remarkably successful con-
clusiOn.
At the announced opening
hour a great throng of people
filed the street waiting for the
doors to open, every one of
them anxious to show their ap-
probation for the great build
ing and the opportunity to in
spect it. From the moment of
admission until the close of
the services the building was
literally packed with happy hu-
mans from the basement to the
top floor, and hundreds went
away without being able to get
in. 1t was some crowd and
everybody knows what our
people think of our newest
public building.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the
services were begun in the
court room. Mayor o. X. Hol-
laday presided in his usual
happy and capable way.
After an invocation by Rev.
r. ]. Craig the speakers of the
evening were introduced in the
following order:
Former United States Sena-
tor Jas. B. Frazier, who secur-
ed the passage of the bill thru
the Senate creating the Court
and authorizing the erection of
the Cookeville building. Dis
trict Attorney Lee Douglass,
Marshal Jonas Amis, State
Senator John J. Gore, Rutledge
Smith, q. l.. Writ, John B. Dow
and G. e. Parker.
Each speaker arose to the oc-
casion and their efforts were
received by hearty responses
from the audience.
kilograms of regret were
read from Judge e. T. San
ford Congressman Cordell
Hull, Collector e. B. Craig and
Postmaster e. S. Shannon of
Nashville, who could not be
present.
Following the speaking Jas
N. Cox took the floor and in a
neat speech presented Mr.. Par
ker, the architect in charge of |
construction, a handsome sterl-
ing silver loving cup as a slight |
memorial of the love and es-
teem of our citizens. Mr.. Par
ker had never received any in
timatiOn of what was coming
and when the secret came out
it nearly "got his goat" He
accepted the gift in a few well
chosen words.
The exercises over the throng
Of happy citizens departed for
heir homes, to sleep and dream
Of the nights pleasing events
and the coming glories and
achievements of COokeville.

NEARLY ONE HUNDRED AMER
ICAN FIRMS BLACKLISTED BY
GREAT BRITAIN

Following it's previous declaration
that American concerns with enemy
affiliations would be blacklisted under
the Trading with the Enemy act, the
British government, on July Is, in its
official gazette published in London
forbade it's subjects to enter into any
business deals with eighty-nine firms
located in the United States.
The British government, in it's last
communication to this country on the
subject, declared that the act was purely
domestic legislation to restrict the &C
tivities and trade of persons under Brit
ish jurisdiction. Investigations made
by the State department at Washington,
however, are said to have convinced
officials that, in reality, it operates to
restrain American commerce. In all
probability, therefore, vigorous protest
will be made to the London foreign office,
objecting to the placing of individuals
and firms, domiciled in the United
States, on the blacklist.
Masses of data secured by the State
Department have revealed the following
conditions:
In Siam, one American firm was in
formed that it would appear on the
blacklist if it had business dealings with
a German firm.
Neutral steamship companies, includ-
ing American corporations, are under
stood to have been informed that if they
carried goods to German firms in neutral
countries, such as those in South Amer
lea, for instance, they would be refused
the courtesies of British ports. Fur
thermore, persons all over the world, in
Guiding Americans, have been told that
they would be placed on the blacklist
should they have any dealings with
German concerns. Indeed, so broad is
the scope of the act, it is claimed, that
should other American firms deal with
those already on the blacklist. they may
find themselves added to it.
Seventy-four of the blacklsted firms
are located in New York City. The re-
naming fifteen are scattered in various
parts of the United States, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.
