in the various counties en- route. The
first meeting will be at Jasper. The
party will travel as far up the Battle
Creek road as possible. Wagons are
now going to Monteagle over the
rough grade which has been opened
up by the states forces working on
top of Cumberland mountain east of
Monteagle. 1t is doubtful that the
cars will be able to make II all the
way through. In the event that this
cannot be done, the cars will return
to Sequatchie and take the old road
to Monteagle. Owing to the confer
ences which will be held along the
route, the party probably will not be

homa instead.
Mr.. Bryan, accompanied by c. r.
Kirkpatrick, chairman of the logging
committee of the Chattanooga Auto
mobile club, will return to Chatta-
noogat Thursday via McMinnville,
Sparta, Crossville, lockwood and
Dayton, as this route is reported to
be in the best condition for through
travel at the present time from Nash
vile. Mr.. Kirkpatrick will make a
report to the club on the road con-
ditions, advising the club whether
the additional mileage is justifiable
in recommending this route to tour
lists. In, the event 1t is, printed logs
will be prepared at once, as the club
is receiving a large number of in
quiries as to the best route north.

ROBERT AGREE DROWNED
IN CHICKAMAUGA CREEK
WATERS CLAIM FIvE-YEAR
OLD VICTIM.
Tragic Ending to Family Pic
mic on Sunday After
noon.

When a light-hearted and happy
picnic party, composed Of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. r. AGREE and their two chill
dren,, Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Wander
grin, Miss Harker and Clarence
Mitchell, departed for Hixson sun
day morning little did they dream
that a tragedy would change the
brightness of the day to gloom and
send them home plunged in GRIEF.
There was probably no happier
member of the party than Robert
Roland Acre, Jr, aged years. HIS
little body was brought home cold
In death. A short time after the pic
nickers arrived at Hixson the lad
was drowned in North Chickamauga
creek, and several minutes passed
before the body was recovered.
Robert was a true lover of nature,
and he was having a great time fsh-
ing in the creek. A Jerk on his line
announced that he had gotten bite
and he urged the other members OF
the party to be still. Presently they
missed him, and his little fishing
pole floating in the water aroused
concern. Loved ones called repeat
eddy, but he failed to answer. Inc
fearful thought that he had fallen
into the creek spurred them to quick
action. When Mr.. Vandergriff Naded
into the water he sank almost to
his waist in soft mud. Assistance
was soon at hand. the creek was
dragged and the lifeless form of the
child was brought to the bank. 1t
is thought the child slipped, fell into
the water face downward and stuck
in the soft mud.
Lovable Child.
Robert was, bright, lovable lit
tie fellow, and was never happier
than when in the open. His heart
was filled with joy when the family
started out Sunday morning, for he
knew he would have an opportunity
to study nature to his hearts con-
tent. He wanted to watch the birds,
wanted to hear their sweet carols,
and to fill his nostrils with the
breath of the flowers. Then, too,
there was the water and the fish. He
was every inch a little man, and he
knew that silence was essential TO
success when 1t came to fishing.
1t is hard for the heart-broken
loved ones to realize that their darl-
ing is dead. Only yesterday his
childish prattle filled the home with
sweet music. Today his voice is
hushed, the lips and eyes are sealed
with the kiss of death and the little
heart beats are forever stilled.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. w. S. Reese, are being held
from the residence, 30S Chamberlain
avenue, Highland Park, this after
noon at $3.50. The interment will
take place in Forest Hills cemetery,
and A. X. Simmons, w. F. Sims, R.
G. Brock and w. ]. Kaylor will act
as pallbearers. The lad is survived
by his parents and a sister, Ruth.
