Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1918-04-11
Dallas, Texas.

Esteemed editor, l will try to gath
er few words for the News.
hardly know just what to say tha
will be of interest. We had our off
year city election Tuesday of thi
week. Nothing of much interes
was to be voted on, there were some
amendments, a school board to elect
the amendments to the city charter
All lost but one, that was to make il
possible for the two telephone COM
panies to consolidate and give us just
one. AS it is now we have to have
two phones to be connected with all
of the city, making it cost us $4.OO
a month to have the two 'pnones,
$1,000 for the two business phones.
Now, after the consolidation, one is
all we will have to have. This a.
mendment carried by good major
ity. The ladies' ticket for school
board lost by several thousand votes.
1t seems that. the voters did not want
to try the ladies out on as important
a place as the schools. ] had no bet.
ter judgement than to vote the la
dies ticket. feel like they are just
as competent to handle the school af-
fairs as the men are, and as most OF
our teachers are ladies', l think it is
right to have two or three ladies on
the Board. l believe in fair treat
ment, but a good big majority
thought differently.
Thank you, Mrs. Brock, of Crisp,
Texas, for the kind words you had
to say for 7. S. Bracken and |. We
sure enjoyed our visit to your faith
er's, Mr.. Nj. D. Dame, and will be
glad to come again. Give us anoth-
er good letter from Crisp, we will
always be glad to read 1t.
Everything is looking pretty well
since the rain, mustard, lettuce and
radishes are making their appearance

dens.
The big review that was to have
been at Camp Bowie the 4th, was
postponed until the 11th, next Thurs
day. 1t is talked around that they
will be sent on at once to France
No one knows just what the inten-
tion is, but from the demand it gives
room for such talk as they are need
ed there and can do no good here,
and if they have to go 1 suppose one
time is as good as another, and they
all seem to want to go, and as we
are expecting them to have to go at
any time we can give them up ssas
well one time as another. Hope it
will soon be over and peace be de-
clared world wide but it looks like
that is long ways off yet.
