new POSTOFFICE
Linaria to Be Re-estabIished Monday j,
A. Hale Probably P. N.

Judge W. A. Handy. postmaster at
Crossville, has received notice from
the department that new postoffice
will be established at Linaria April
16, next Monday. 1t is likely that j..
A. Hale will be named as postmaster
as the petition asking for the estab-
lIshment of the postotfice also request
ed that Mr.. Hale be appointed.
The establishing of a postotfice at
Linaria Will chang to some extent the
manner in which the mail from Cross
vile to Biglick will be handled. The
mail will either 60 via Linaria to Big
lick and return over the route now fol-
lowed to Biglick or 1t will go via Big
lick and return via Linaria. The for
mer being the more probable as that
was requested IN the petition.
This Will make mail facilities for the
Linarla peighborhood much better than
now as many persons who now have to
come to Crossvllle, some SIX miles or
more, will be able to get their mail at
Linaria by going only mile or two,
and several can put up boxes, as they
doubtless will, and have their mail
brought to their door each day.
The thanks Of the Linaria people are
due Judge Cordell Hull. congressman
from this district, for it was due to his
prompt and energetic action that the
office was secured and with much more
dispatch than usually marks such cases.

GOOD MARKETS ASSURED.
No Person Need Fear Over Production
of Food.

Atlanta, Ca, April 1o.-That every
Southern farmer who grows TODD crop
this year will be able to dispose Of it
at handsome prices either in Its origi-
nal shape or as live stock was the
unanimous opinion of the fifty experts
of the Development Service OF the
Southern Railway System and affiliated
lines who met in Atlanta to discuss
plans for farm marketing, immigra-
ton, and the agricultural and indus
trial development Of the South.
The market and farm products agents
are aiding the movement of increased
production of food crops IN the South
by their efforts to put growers in touch
with dealers and consumers desiring
their products and have been 50 sue
cessful that the demand for products
OF Southern farms has greatly exceed
ed the supply.
While live stock growing is being ad-
vocated earnestly, farmers are urged
to provide food crops before buying
live stock. Any farmer in the terri
tory served by the Southern Railway
System or affiliated lines who desires
aid IN disposing OF any crop will be
given all possible ASSISTANCE if he will
communicate with the farm products
agent, located in his section. or with
Roland Turner, chief farm products
agent. Atlanta. Ga

STATE REFORMATORY LOCATED
Herbert Domain, the Site, Which Will
Mean Much for This County.

The legislature has passed an act es-
tsblishlng the state reformatory for
boys on the state property known as
Herbert Domain. The property con-
sists of 10000 acres and lies in the
southern part of this county and the
northern part of Bledsoe county.
The property originally belonged to
j. j. KIttell, prominent New York
banker. His son, j. Otto Kittell. and
wife, occupied the property for several
years and considerable developments
were made. Just before Gov. nj. r.
Patterson was elected tor the first time
ohm |. Cox, whereby the state came
into possession of the property for the
sum of $3.50, 900.
For several years there has been
more or less agitation toward develop
ing the coal on the property. and for
the past four years there has been con-
siderable agitation toward locating the
state reformatory for boys there. This
legislature passed the act and appro-
prlated $50, 900 for present develop
ment and the erection of suitable
buildings.
The distance from Crossvile IS about
20 miles. The lay OF the country is
such that good road can be built to it
from Crossvllle with comparatively
little expense. The State Board of
Control are favorably disposed toward
assisting this county in building good
road to the property from Crossville,
as this will be the closest and most
easily accessible railroad point.
1T proper action is taken by our road
commission there is every probability
that the state will aid very materially
in building a good road from Crossvllle
to the property. That the commission
will be ready to take any reasonable
action looking to that end there IS lit
tie doubt.
Representative E. e. Norvell and
Senator +. N. Hasten we're both very
active in their efforts to carry this
matter through. They had the difficult
proposition before them Of inducing
the state Board of Control to torego
purchasing 1900 acres of land adjoining
the penltentiary. But after consider
able effort, seconded and very mater
tally assisted by our townsman Judge
Z. q. Toilet, they succeeded in win
mig the Board of Control to their side
and then the matter went through
without serious opposition. However.
after The Board of Control had peen
won over the matter had to be handled
with much skill to get 1t through.
Judge Toilet rendered valuable assist
ance from it's inception until the meas.
ure became law.

BLOODY THIRD" AGAIN.
Election to Be Held Early In June to
Select the Justice.

An act has recently been passed by
the general assembly re-establishing
the old third district. The district
lines now follow roads and county lines
so that there will be no doubt which
district voters belong IN, as used to be
the case. The bill as drawn by Judge
G. p. BURNETT and our representative,
Hon. E. L. Norvell, took an active IN
terest in putting it through:
SEVERAL CHANGES.
The BLOODY Third" as it was hu-
morously known for many years, has
had a checkered career. When the
county was re-dlstrlcted and the num-
Der of districts changed from thirteen
to four, the third district was included
with the fourth, eighth and second dis
tricts and the whole were called the
Thru District. 1t went on that way
for a few years, but when Senator L.
E. Wilson was elected representative
from this fioterial district he had an
act passed establishing what was called
the Fifth District. which comprised
practically all of what was formerly
called the "Bloody Third" At the
time 1t was joklngIy called Matt
Davis district" This name was ap-
piled to the district on the grounds
that some claimed that Mr.. Davis,
though a republican and living IN a
district that was practically solid repub.
Iican, supported Senator Wilson in his
race tor fioater. Mr.. DAVIS does not
take kindly to the charge and denies
that he ever did support Senator Will
son. Hr>Af'7''1 AZ
Be that as 1t may, Thereby hangs
tale" When Senator Wilson was
elected to the senate two years ago he
had the Fifth District united with the
First district, which put it under the
Dortch law. 1t was claimed again that
the change was made by Senator Will
son because Mr.. Davis opposed him IN
the senatorial race. Mr.. Davis admits
that he did oppose Senator Wilson for
the senate.
When Senator Wilson had the Fifth
District established there was warm
contest tor VINO should represent the
new district IN the county court.
When the smoke Of battle had blown
away, Mr.. Davis was the victor and
represented the district until Senator
Wilson had It abolished and joined to
the first district. two years ago.
1t IS claimed that Senator Wilson
was fighting the act to re. establish the
old Third District but 1t became law
IN spite of his opposition.
The legislature adjourned Saturday
and, IN Keeping with the law, all acts
affecting this county will soon be sent
to the Chronicle for publication. When
1t arrives we will publish it in full and
those interested will be able to learn
its exact provisions.
One feature 1t contains Is, that an
election is to be called early IN June to
elect justice of the peace and he Will
be able to take his seat at the July
term.

HANDSOME STORE BUILDING.
Reed & Burnett Will Erect Handsome
Building 66x85 Feet Fronting
on Main Street

on Main Street,
After an extended negotiation Reed
& Burnett have secured deed from l..
II. Bell tor &c feet OF the lot adjoining
their present store fronting on Maine
Street and will erect thereon a splsn-
did brick building within the next few
months.
While the plans of Messrs Reed &
Burnett are not yet fully matured the
following conditions are close to what
they will ultimately do:
The building will front &c feet on
Main Street and will be divided into
two rooms. The main room, which
will be for general dry goods stock,
will be 40 feet front and run back
about IS feet to connect with the build
ing which they are now occupying with
their general stock. The other room
will embrace the remainder of the &c
feet front and will be 26 feet wide and
extend back to the present building,
and will be used tor drug stock and
a general supply of druggists sun
dries.
In the larger room the door will be
in the corner and 1t will be fitted with
modern conditions such as will make of
it the most complete store building for
many counties around. In this room
40X85 feet there will be placed one of
the most complete stocks of dry goods
that can be found between Nashville
and Knoxville. In the rear Of this
NOM will be an elevated millinery de-
partment which will be approached by
a stairway from the main room and it
will be so arranged that it will be easy
of access yet embrace all the privacy
that such department demands.
In the dry goods there will be such a
wide variety, both IN style and price,
that no lady need teel 1t necessary to
10 to the city to secure complete out
1t at any seq son of the year.
The building now being used for
general stock will be used exclusively
for groceries and will be filled with the
most complete line of eatables, fancy
and general groceries, that can be
found in any town in the state. The
building now being used for feed will
continue to be used for feed and seeds
and the splendid stock in that line that
they have carried in the past Will be
enlarged and more widely diversified.
Messrs Reed 4 Burnett have not as
yet decided If they will make the new
building one or two stories. They have
been urged to make the building two
stories and convert the second story in
to offices, but owing to the large mum
Der of rooms now available IN town
for office purposes, they are doubtful
If offices would pay and it Is most like
ly they will contine the building to one
story.
The structure will be such as would
be credit to town many times the
size of Crossville, but IN view OF the
rapid growth Of their business the past
few years-from little over 600
to $l2O, 900 in five years-they feel trat
they cannot properly handle their large
volume OF trade with building any
less than the one they now have in
mind.
They expect to have the plans in
hand and passed upon within few
weeks and they will then begin active
work and hope to have the building
ready IN every detail by September l.

come from the recent proposals OF
Pope Benedict if the belligerent ma
tons would enter into negotiations
in the sense OF the Pontiff's sugses-
ton. Emperor Charles, Of Austria

The Emperor sees in the Pope's
peace plan a suitable basis for start
ing negotiations toward a just and
lasting peace and expresses the hope
that the nations opposing his owu
may be animated by the same idea.

the Pontiff's note with thankful
heart and with an expression of hope
that the Pontiff's efforts may lead to
the realization of the Emperor's de-
sire for lasting and honorable peac~
for all parties.
Freedom of the seas is one OF the

could be taken from the nations Of
the earth and new sources of prosper
Ny opened in them.
