BIG LAND DEAL PROBABLE
J.B, johnson Negotiating Sale Of His
Extensive Timber Holdings.

j. B. johnson left Sunday night for
New York where he expects to confer
with prospective purchasers regarding
sale of his large timber tract in this
and Rhea counties.
We expect on his return to be able to
give full details of the deal and other
information relative Ito the develop
ment of the property. The tract is the
largest virgin timber holding. perhaps,
in the state, containing several million
feet of oak, poplar. pine and other
marketable timber.
The tract embraces in the Heighbor-
hood of Is, 900 to 10000 acres CT land
extending from Renfro, this county,
to Spring City, Rhea county. Besides
the large amount of timber there are
known to be splendid veins of the
famous Sewanee coking coal. At Ken
fro it has been worked for over two
years and is now being operated under
a lease-hold by c. W. Bell and Sons.
J. B. Johnson. who is recognized as
one of the most capable and careful
business men in the state, has spent
many years acquiring this property and
has an acreage that cannot be dupli-
Gated in the state for both timber and
coal.
Should the property be developed as
now seems probable it will mean that
several mills will be put to work cut
ting the timber as soon as it can be ac-
complished I'D large force of men
will be emplo: ed. 1t is very probable
that the coal mining end will receive
quite an impe us and the present out
put greatly enlarged.
Mr.. Johnson will return the last OF
the week and we hope to be able to
give Chronicle readers more complete
information relative to the deal and
the proposed development.

NEED OF SCHOOL BUILDING
Present Building to Small for Present
Needs, Future Not Considered

In these columns there appeared last
week an ordinance calling an election
for December Is to vote on the propo-
sition of selling $4,000 in bonds for
the purpse OF securing a suitable sight
and erecting thereon public school
building.
At this time there are $50 children
enrolled in the city school. There are
only four rooms and four teachers. At
least two more teachers are needed to
in any degree handle the work as 1T
should be. But if the teachers were
available there is no room in which the
teacher can work.
Within five years there is every pro-
liability that not less than seven teach
ers will be needed There is now no
room for more than four TO work and
the situation will constantly grow
worse. At this time there are as
high as 70 pupils in one room under
the direction of one teacher. 1t IS
plain to see that no teacher can do that
many pupils or herself justice under
such conditions.
There never has been anything that
our town needed so badly as larger
and better school building. Every in
djcation points to hearty support OF
the bond question at the polls. Any
citizen who does not support 1t Will
most certainly be working very much
against the best interests of the COM
munity.

Prominent Knoxville Business MAN
VINO Gives 100000 to Baptist rs
Million Campaign.
Knoxville, Tenn. H. Anderson
of this city, commissioner for Tennes-
see in the Baptist Is Million Campaign
and chairman Of the executive COM
Elittce of the campaign commission,
looks for q larger life to come to the
Baptists OF Tennessee as a result OF
the information impaired and the en-
listment in Christian service brought
about in this state through the cam
paign. Mr.. Anderson Is president OF
the Baptist Convention of Tennessee
and the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment, and in addition to giving $780,
600 to the campaign, contributed $780,
900 to the erection of new church in
his home city.
Discussing what the campaign win
mean to Tennessee and how the sum
to be raised by the Baptists Of this
state will be expended, Mr.. Ander-
son said:
"The most expanding thought that
has ever entered the human brain is

ing the above sentence as one of
their fundamentals all the past years.
Why is it, then, we have remained
such little folk with such a big
thought in our brain? Is it not be.
cause we have not followed the
thought with action? And this is one
Of the greatest, indeed the greatest
blessing that is going to come out of
the rs Million Campaign to our de-
nomination. We are vitalizing that
expanding thought and never more
will we be merely citizens of our own
little neighborhood, our own county,
or state or nation. Every man OF
us must be, indeed is, world citizen.
Dr. Trlett has been hammering this
thought into the minds and hearts of
our people wherever he has gone dur

before us to demonstrate to our.
selves and to the world that we-have
provincialism and have be-
come world citizens?

westward; looking up Meridian ave-
nue he could look for miles out into
the fertile countryside; and down Me-
ridian avenue he could see other fer
tile miles of land. But Corwin could
see farther than that-and with
closed eyes!
On all sides the country unfolded-
plains and mountains and hills and
valleys and virgin forest-miles of
cultivated land, eastward. westward,
north and south; with teeming mil
lions of people in shop and factory
and field and oilice-all dwelling in

smile of the American fghting-man
accepting a challenge to do battle.
| And the emotion that seethed in Cor

which pulsed through the veins of the
sturdy youth of the country on the
day their president solemnly drew the
sword.
There was no gnawing disquiet in
