CROSSVILLE pOSTOFFICE DEPOT
All the Twenty-Four Offices in the
County to Receive Supplies from
Crossvile.

The postoffice department has launch
ed a new method OF supplying the var
ious offices of the country withsneeded
supplies. In sparsely settled sections
and where the county seat towns are
the most easy of access, they have
been designated as headquarters for
supplies for the outlying offices. In
the case of this county Crossville has
been made headquarters and all offices
IN this county, there being "a all told,
will send theil orders to Postmaster w..
A. Handy to be filled. He will keep
on hand supplies sufficient to furnish
all offices in the county. This will
prove a great convenience to small
offices tor they will now be able to get
supplies within day or two whereas
1T formerly took from two weeks to
thirty days to get the desired supplies
from Washington.
This cnange entails considerable
increase of labor on the postmaster
and his force at. Crossville- without IN
creased compensation. but 1t Is the
edlct that has gone out from Washing
ton and there IS nothing to do except
buckle into the job little harder and
handle it with all possible dispatch.

While the above does not include all
crops it does comprise by far the most
Important ones. 1t is probable that
the final estimates may vary some
from this, but il is not likely to be a
heavy change in either direction.
1t Is noticeable fact that only three
items in the above list show a decrease
over last year. While sugar IS exces-
siveIy high, the production OF sugar
beets has increased one-fourth. That
means it it were not for the war sugar
would be considerably cheaper this
year than last, at least while the beet
sugar lasted, bat since such large
quantities must be shipped to our al
lies. the price IN the United States
will remain at high level this year.
and most likely until the war 10 over
for the sources from which the allies
get their sugar are so far distant as to
render shipment serious problem.
Germany, one OF the largest sugar
producers in the world. berg an ene-
my, no sugar can come from that
source.
The potato crop, it will be noticed.
is more than a halr greater this year
than last, yet the prices keep up good
and many persons seem to feel that
the demand will be such as to carry
potato prices still higher. Others,
again, are up in the air" az to future
prices on potatoes anu are puzzled
whether to sell now or held for higher
prices.

CRossvILLE. TENNESSEE. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1917
NEAT DETECTIVE WORK.
Miss Eileen Hubbard Nabs Woman Pick
pocket and Receivers Money

While IN Nashville few weeks ago
attending the State Fair Miss Mary
Bishop had her purse taken with about
five dollars IN it. She was In the com
pany OF Miss Eileen Hubbard. who in
sisted that certain woman in the no.
tel lobby was pickpocket and had
taken the purse. AS they had no
means of proving 1t they only laughed
about the loss and went on their way.
After Miss Bishop returned home
Miss Hubbard trequented the hotel
lobby for several days hoping to catch
the woman. Finally, one day Miss
Hubbard stepped onto pair of penny
in-the slot scales and p-etendt d that
she was French and could not read
English we'll enough to know where to
put the penny to cause the machi1e to
work. Sure enough, the ruse worked.
The lady stepped forward very courte-
ously and protfered to help Miss Hub
bard work the machine. At the same
time the woman very deftly slipped
her hand into bag that MISS Hubbard
was carrying. but that was where she
met her Waterloo. Miss Hubbard had
been expecting such a move and
promptly grabbed the woman by the
wrist and told her In few words that
no pIckpocket could work that game on
her and that, Furthermore, the woman
must "come across with the five dol
lars that she had relieved MISS Bishop
of few days before. or policeman,
who was standing near, would be call
ed and the plckpocket woman turned
over to him. The woman turned pale
and dug up the 'Flver.
Miss Hubbard, not wishing to go in
to police court, let the woman off
and quietly left tna hotel witi.-s,sie five
dollars, just what she went for and
tnat were secured IN the way she ex-
pected they would be, If secured at all.
1t certainly was neat piece of de-
tective work and worthy of a much
older and more experienced person than
young girl hardly out of her teens.

portunlties In youth.

the state IN that capacity that he OBJ
tanned his title.

hearted and generous. He was man
of excellent judgement and was cour-
ageous to the last degree. During his
life he acted many times as assistant
to the she,' fl of the county and in such
instances / 3 showed a GOODNESS and
good judger ant, coupled with unmls-
taxable coui ge, that was highly COM
mendable.
He leave many friends over the
county who will deeply regret his
death.

children. His first wife died some
ten years or longer ago. BY his first
wife he had four sons and one daugh-
ter. Three sons survive him. He also

mends Him Highly.

Hon. Harry Camp, of Sparta, was
here the first OF the week meeting our
people IN the interest of his candidacy
tor chancellor in the december pri-
mary. Mr.. Camp has been here before
and has made most favorable impress
ison on the people of Jackson county
whom he has met. That he is well
qualified for this high Office IS conceded
by those who know him.
Judge Frank I. Fancher, member
of the State Board of Law Examiners,
says of him: "He is peculiarly fitted
to discharge the duties of this import
ant office. In the first place. he is the
highest type of Christian gentleman.
Next, he IS splendid lawyer, possess
sing an all round liberal education,
and is well versed in the PRINCIPLES of
law and equity. He ls man OF very
rare mind naturally He has good
horse sense, which IS the best OF all
sense. He Is q man of sterling lnteg-
rlty and has the courage of his ccnvic-
tions. If elected, he would not be the
Chancellor of any man or set OF men,
but Judge for the whole people, re-
gardless of race or position. Mr.. Camp
is consistent and regular Democrat.
The Fourth Chancery Division would
be exceedingly fortunate IN having
him for its Chancellor. He has one OF
the most analytical ::uinds. He Is just
now in the full beginning of vigorous
middle life with years of usefulness
ahead Of him.
Judge t'ancher Is known as an emf
nent lawyer, having served for more
than a year on the Supreme Bench OF

from the governor. His statement Is.
therefore, entitled to great weight.

JUNGLE TOM" MCCOY
He Was One OF the Famous Andrews
Raiders Of Civil War Times.

Thomas Mccoy, commonly called
"Uncle Tom," passed from this mode
of existence on the ninth instant. ar
his old home place near Genesis. where
he was living with his son. Esq. Hous-
ton Mccoy
He had stroke of paralysis and be-
ing in his 18th year, it took him away.
In his early life, he was consistent
member of the Methodist denomlna-
tion, and in the latter years of his lite,
he belonged to the Congregatlonalists.
He was enthusiastic on the subject of
religion and his daily life was in accord
Herewith.
He was a soldier IN the Federal Army
in the time of the deplorable civil
strife. In the latter part OF the war,
he and others were taken and held as
prisoners of war at Atlanta, Ca, and
they, Uncle 1om in the bunch, made
an attempt to escape, and led by a
man named Andrews, they captured
a steam engine and got onto 1t and
made a desperate effort to get to Chat
tanooga, running from place to place
on the engine, till they were taken
again by the confederates. They
fought up and down and along the rail-
road till they were taken. They were
taken back to Atlanta, and some of
them were hanged, but in some way,
Uncle Tom got back alive.
The old engine, The General is
now standing at the old Union depot,
at Chattanooga. 1t is of the old pat
tern with the fared top smokestack.
Bullet holes and cuts and scars are
genuine character.
The soldiers who thus tried to make
their escape were called the Andrews
Raiders. There was a small book
printed giving the full story, which
the writer does not have and 80 he does
no claim that he has given the above
statements fulIv or exactly correct.
Mr.. Mccoy came from Morgan coun-
ty to Cumberland some IS years ago
and lived in this county all the time
since. His wife was Minerva Mccoy,
whom all the people round about we'll
knew. She Will have been dead 81
years the 26th OF the present month.
Their children were tive boys and
two girls. One girl, Mrs. Sarah E.
Henry, is still living. -Four of the
boys, Houston Robert Wright and AL
bert still live.
When good old citizens pass away we
teel that there will be no more like
them but we suppose this has been
true with all past generations. They
all have thought\ the old men and wo-
men of their day were the best. and
we feel that tre same is all right.
Such holds peoples together and
makes memories sacred.
