MAY AND DECEMBER
MARRIAGES

TS it ever too late W Me0
Annarently not, when a
y man of 81 essays the ma,
,rimonial adventure. We had
inst heard how a man past
fo,rscore had been dissuaded
from a May and December
marriage by his family when 9i
tbe oldest candidate for a Il
cense goes on the record.
There are always those who
SEQ the mecenary aspect OF
such unions; call the men senlle
and accuse the woman OF sell
inc herself for an establish
ment, prophesying future un-
kanniness. Whether such
prognostications are fulfilled
or not depends on the parues
themselves. There have been
MANY exceptions in which a
mans love has been largely TN
tured with a pride that kept It
constant, and a woman mas
given a sincere if not rapturous
affection in which gratitude
has borne a part. But it IS
usually true that, as HARDY
saws. Disparity of years is like
q grain of sand between the
axle and its bed, which, harder
than either, scores a furrow in
spite of lubricants"
Something may be said on
the other side. A mans chill
dren marry and have families
and interests of their own. He
NAV live with one of them, or
his own house may be managed
by servants. In either case ne
is practically alone. If finan-
cially able to maintain a wife,
why should he not marry
again? What is more attractive
than youth and comeliness?
Naturally he admires and
seeks them. He may be fool
ish. but he is very human in
his folly. And in their OBJ
iections. his children are quite
as mercenary as the girl who
Imarries him for a settlement ;
they object to diversion of
his money from their pockets.
That is the real secret Of their
opposition.
The japanese have no equi-
valent for the English word
home" The nearest ap-
proach is an expression mean
ing "a place for the making OF
tea in old age" What the old
man Graves is a home-some
one to make tea" for him in
his home. The public passes
judgment on him as in his dot
ege because it believes love
dies with passion and that love

MEMBER ANDREWS. RAIDERS"
DIES AT GENESIS, TENN

Genesis, Tennessee, OFT. "a
Thomas Mccoy. a veteran of the
Civil War and a member of the
famous Andrews Raiders, /" died
at the home of his son, Houston
Mccoy, near Genesis, Tenn, last
week, following a stroke of paral-
ysis. He was rs years old. He
was a member of the Federal
army and was captured in a bat
tie and taken to Atlanta and i'm
prisoned. Led by a man named
Andrews they managed to effect
their escape and Selling a steam
engine, the General" the same
one which stands in the N. c. &
St. L. Ry. Depot in Chattanoo-
ga, they made a desperate effort
to reach Chattanooga where the
Union forces were then located.
They fought desperately for their
liberty, being fired upon and re-
turning the fire in a battle that
lasted for miles as the engine
dashed along, but were finally
taken. They were taken back to
Atlanta and some of the members
of the party were hanged. Mr..
Mccoy, however, escaped that
fate and at the conclusion of the
war located in Morgan county.
The name Andrews Raiders"
was given the party from the
name of their leader, Andrews.
Mr.. Mccoy located in Cumberland
county about 1880. His wife,
Minerva Mccoy, has been dead
81 years. To them were born six
children: two girls of whom Mrs.
Sarah E. Henry, is still living,
and four sons, Houston, Robert.
Wright and Albert. He was
member of the Methodist Chursh
in his early life, joining later the
Congregationalists. The old en-
CINE in Chattanooga bears silent
witness with it's bullet holes to the
stormy times the veteran had
seen.

their little car. And then on the top
oil Cumberland mountain they found
a sea of mud, the equal Of which, Mr..
Hill said, he doubted the existence
of anywhere on the face of the earth
To reach this stretch of road he had
to pay one toll fee of 81 and then
another 81 to leave it. This last 81
he thought better spent than the
others if that was to be the only
means of escaping the mud and reach
ing roads more tolerable. Again he
found a bad stretch from Whlteslde
until he reached the W auhatchie pike.
The disappointment of these travel
ers was the greater because OF the
volumes they had read of the great
Dixie highway enterprise and the
pleasure they found travelling that
route through Illinois and Indiana.
Through those states they found the
route blazed on the telephone poles
for every mile. These marks, to-
gether with the official logbook, which
taey secured before they started,
made it simple to find their way with
out the loss of mile through error.
South of Nashville they had to de-
pend entirely on the log, the Dixie
highway enthusiasts having forgotten
their duty to tourists in marking the
route on trees or poles.
tennessee and the south will have
to wake up" said Mr.. Hill. "North
of the Ohio river it is like traversing
a magnificent boulevard to travel the
Dixie highway. Even Kentucky, ex-
cepting around Bowling Green, has
distanced Tennessee in perfecting the
route. If Chattanooga is to get the
benefit of this tourist travel some
thing most surely must be done to-
ward building miles and miles OF
highway or the tourists will entirely
avoid this section. To reach Nash
vile is bad enough. We did not turn
toward Huntsville from Murfrees-
boro, as advised by some people up
in Indiana, because at Bowling Green
we met some people who had just
travelled both routes and they recon-
mended the Manchester route, simp-
ly because it is 100 miles shorter" -

INCREASED WHEAT
PRODUCTION

Indications now point to an increas-
ed wheat acreage in Marion county.
The fall rains came at exactly the
right time for turning the land and in
sufficient quantity. A large acreage
has been planted in this vicinity, and
other palts of the county are not be-
hind. The wheat is being sown in
better shape than heretofore in many
instances. under the direction of coun-
ty agent Hutchinson The land is be-
ing we'll prepared and the wheat sown
with acid phosphate, other fertilizers
being too high. Heretofore few USED

ger 1t is the intention to lime the
fields in the spring, narrowing it in'
and it is suggested by the county
agent that clover be sown at the same
time. This is appealing to the farm
ers and will undoubtedly be done,

Gets a High-Prced Tax Receipt.

Editor News:
l am wondering if we have any road
law in Marion County. One thing l
do know for sure, we haven't any
roads in this neck of the woods The
present method of working roads just
before Christmas is little worse than
no work at all, and the labor assets
mant will never make roads nor keep
them up after they are made. 1t looks
to ME like one man on section of
road to make repairs as needed would
do more good than working little in
late fall and then letting the road go
twelve months without lick OF work.
l know places between my house an d
Tracy City where the water runs in
the road two or three hundred yards,
and has washed it now 80 deep it is
almost impossible for wagons to travel
over it, when few minutes work at
the right time would have saved sew
eral days work. What are tue three
Road Commissioners for the county
doing'
The bridge across Little Sequachee
near s. L. Browns has broken down
and fallen into the Creek. 1t is
County bridge and have written to
some of the commi ssioners about it,
but there is nothing doing. Now, that
bridge is badly needed. especially in
the winter time when the waters are
up, as it is the only way to get from
Tracy City to WhitweIl without going
to Sequachee or around the head of
the gulf. Now. we believe if that
bridge had been on an automobile
road it would have had attention at
once.
The roads on this mountain are in
the worst repair | ever saw them, and
all us mountain people get is a high
priced tax receipt once a year.
