Carson-NeWrnan
S. A.T.C.U Unit
All Here Today

Carson and Newman's S. A. 7. G.
unit, numbering more than ffty-five
young men, came to Greeneville on
the early train this morning and will
root for their home team in the foot
ball game on the Tusculum athletic
field this afternoon. 1t is expected
that these two teams will be pretty
evenly matched, as they have both
had opportunity only for about the
same amount of practice, all having
been indicted into service on the
same day. The Carson and Newman
team embraces some old football
players, we are informed, and this
fact may force Tusculum s. A. I. G.
boys to give them the best they can
put up. This being the first game for
both units, the young men should be
encouraged by large attendance.
The Jefferson City young men are
expected to return home on the local
train from Greeneville this evening
at 6:10.

To Open
Monday Morning

We have been requested by the
city school boards to announce that
the public schools Of the city win re-
open on Monday morning. 1t is
earnestly requested, however, that
children from families afflicted with
influenza or grippe be kept at home
until all members Of the home have
fully recovered. If our citizens are
careful to adhere to this request
strictly, there is little danger Of a
general spread of influenza. Chill
dren sent to school from families
known to have anyone afflicted, will
be returned to their homes until such
time as members of the board feel
it to be safe to allow them to return
The Princess Theatre will also re
open Monday night, as well as all
other places that have been closed
by order of the city officials.

Somewhere in France,

Dear Uncle:--
/ believe am due you a letter,
but even if / am not | believe you
will be pleased to hear from me any
way.
/ am getting along all o. X. sol
diering over here. Am having good
health, and am as we'll satisfied as
one could be. What more should /
want?
England and France are both level
countries; well, some of it is rolling,
but we would call it level back there
in Tennessee. You know back there
when we pass anyone on the road or
in the street, we pass to the right,
but when we were in England we
passed to the left. The people there
do a lot of truck farming and raise
cattle and sheep. All their houses
are made of brick. Here in France
thep raise chiefly grapes; you can
see one field after another. They
are not like our grapes; only small
vines and are planted about like we
plant corn-that is, in rows similar.
The French make lot Of wine, in
fact, ! thing they almost use it in
stead Of water to drink.
| can't tell you anything about the
war, as you already know as much or
more than | do. ! don't get to see
a paper every day as you do.
Uncle, fatten up some Of those
chickens and have them ready for
me to eat Christmas day. Ha, ha!
You had better have three or four as
| am chicken hungry.
Your loving nephew,

to hear from you, your letter was so
interesting; just the kind | like so
much to get. certainly hope you
will not make it your last time to
write me.
am now, and have been for some
time, on the battle front, where the
terrible conflict you read so much of
is being waged. / have been in two
big drives, the latter of which is still
progressing. You probably have
read of both Of them. Almost daily
see an air battle; quite often ! see
as many as 80 or 40 aeroplanes in the
air at one time, and nothing is pref
tier than to see a group of them fly
ing in battle formation. Sometimes
they fly SO high they resemble a
bunch of wild geese flying.
So far, have not seen any Of the
boys over here that | know, and there
is only probability that | will. l
hope / may run across Bob Mitchell,
and have tried to find Mr.. Cyozier,
but have failed.
AS | sit writing to you ! can hear
aeroplanes humming and the big
guns roaring constantly,
| will close, with my best wishes
and kindest regards to you, and ask
to be remembered to Mr.. and Mrs.

These patriots are way, way be
hind the lines. They live in Brook
Ign, and not only in Brooklyn, but fal
in the rear of Brooklyn, where the
last end of subway is coming to a
conclusion. These patriots may be
called alien patriots, for many OF
them have not been here long. They
are small patriots, for the eldest is
only about ten. Their mothers keep
the homes, and their fathers dig the
peaceful trenches for the subway. So
they are not very well.to-do patriots.
In fact, they are quite otherwise:
they are poor in everything but patri.
atism. In that, they are very rich
They are full of it, crammed in,
pressed down and running over, as
will agree 1t dubbed so inside of
them, that they had to put it into ex-
preston somehow.
But how? They had just nothing
to express with. No pennies to make
fund to send somewhere: no pen.
MES to buy tobacco for the soldiers
pipes: no pennies to buy worsted to
knit with. What should they do?
A hopeless little group they were
as they stood one day, discussing
ways and means, or rather, the utter
lack OF them, till at last, the situation
was cleared by one determined little
mite. She took off one of her mittens
saying.
Il can change the other one round.
Anyhow you can't knit with mittens

Johnny flew, and soon returned
with several The nearest butcher
had been kind.
I'm going to knit" the small girl
announced. I'm going to knit

The idea caught at once Such a
scurrying as there was! Mothers
were pleaded with; odd corners were
searched; even ash barrels were in.
vstigated. From unsupported quar-
tiers, old tams, old scarfs, old shawls.
old stockings, old mittens, were
brought forth. All things that could
be spared, and some that could not,
but everything that could be gotten
hold of that would unravel, was un-
earthed; and the work began, and
went on. The children knitted with
skewers, with piecs Of steel, with any
thing that would hold stitch and
connect it with another.
And so we found them one day, sit.
ting all huddled together on the
stoop of one Of the tenements: all
knitting with the crinkly wool, the
little squares. It was picture of
child life not easily forgotten, and
we watched, and thought; and as we
turned away, we knew that our hearts
would always be more soft and kind.
because we had seen this little group
OF little patriots, knitting their little
squares, to cover the little cold ba.
bies of Belgium.

The path Of the shadow of til

range from about two minutes on tn

the Florida coast.
This eclipse is repetition of tn,
one that occurred on May %, 1900
and which was observed at that tim,
by two parties sent from the Nava

The moons shadow will strike the
earth at sunrise in the Pacific Ocean
almost directly south of Japan. In
its sweep eastward it crosses that
ocean and touches the United States
Just to the south of Seattle, Wash.
1t then sweeps in a southeasterly di.
rection across lower Washington, up
per Oregon, southwest Wyoming, Col

Arkansas, Mississippi, southwestern
Alabama, and the upper portion of
Florida, entering the Atlantic Ocean
just below Titusville, Fla. In general
the width of the shadow will be an.

1t will be located on that east side of
the sun, and almost in the same de.
clination.
Mercury will be to the west and
south Of the sun. The bright star
that will be directly north of jupiter
is Beta Tauri, and Alpha Tauri will
be south and west of the sun and be.
