OF CLAIRE LILLIAN PETELER
IRISH SONGS THE FAVORITE

Of all the songs she sings so Won
derfully Miss Peteler loves the Irish
songs best, so she says. She loves to
sing them to harp accompaniment.
The peculiar fearful" quality of her
voice makes her rendition of these
Old much loved songs particularly
beautiful. That 'tearful' quality,
by the way, is very rare thing
among singers and one that they are
willing to work years to acquire. Miss
Peteler is endowed by nature with
this desirable quality. 1t is what
makes her Interpretation of all "heart
songs" so lovely.
Miss Peteler is coming to Greene
vile Tuesday, September 9th, to give
joint recital with Sibyl Sanderson
Pagan, the whistler.

Uncle" John Shell, Sr., Who
Claims 131 Years of Age, Recalls
the Days Of George Washington

10 be adverse to it, states Uncle John.
When he was eleven years of age
the family moved to Kentucky just
after Tennessee was admitted to the
union. The home of Uncle John then
was not marked by any place that he
could designate. "We just moved
up there in the woods" he states.
But the place where he now resides
is Chappell in Eastern county.
In his young days he was hard
worker and quite skillful trader,
he states. He soon accumulated land.
Of the eleven children born to him
and his first wife he gave to each 900
acres of land. He states that he
bought much land at fifty cents per
acre. At present he lives on a small
farm of sixty acres at Chappell.
Three children Of his first family are
dead.
Uncle John states that he has taken
no especial pains to live different from
others to prolong his life. He re-
CARDS his years as one of the freaks
cf nature. Several diseases such as
dyspepsia, rheumatism and a nerve
trouble have afflicted him. He has
taken but one chew of tobacco in his
life, he says, and never took but three
doses of medicine in his life from a
doctor. II took the first DOSE" he
states, "and it did no good. Then ]
took the second dose and got worse
The third dose made me still sickel
and ! did not take any more"
Can See Without Glasses.
Uncle John once used eye glasses
but after he became ninety years OLD
his eye sight began to improve. He
can now see without glasses. Severa
Of his second set of teeth remain il
his mouth. He eats with relish, anc
states that he feels well, and ever
does little turns of work.
Uncle Johns first wife was Bets!

His second was another Betsy, but
this time Betsy Chappell. She il
about forty-three years of age.
The aged man is here in company

KNOXVILLE, Aug. 30.-One who
aims an age which makes him one
the oldest, if not the oldest, man in
le United States is visiting Knox
4 lie. He is "Uncle" John Shell, Sr.,
no states that he will be 131 years
J. ohn is the father of twelve childrn,
oldest of whom is 81 years of
re.
Uncle John was about eleven years
d when George Washington died in
he year 1899. He says he has dis
net, memory of hearing the first
resident sp1ken of, and of the
lourning which reached even into
ne Hiwassee valley in Tennessee
hen the Father of His Country died.
In the river valley Uncle John was
orn 1870 years ago. There he grew
p amid those times when education
vas practically unknown. He states
hat he never went to school a day
his life. He remembers the In
|ians that infested the mountains of
tennessee in his boyhood days and
he "war" and peace times. When
he Indians would trade with the
whites there was peace, but as the
rade would drop off, the settlers re-
Earded it as a sign to prepare for
var, he states.
Uncle Johns father fought in the
Revolutionary war and was wounded
1t the battle of Bunker Hill. He
fought also in the war of 1912 under
General Jackson. Fathers often ex-
blain to their children that they were
90 young to get in the civil war.
But Uncle John was too old for that
conflict and even the drafts missed
him. He was seventy-three years of
age when Fort Sumpter was fired
upon. He did not fight either in the
Mexican war. He had children, how
ever, who fought in the civil war.
Wautauga Settlement.
In these days Wautauga settlement
was regarded as a place out of the
confines of civilization where the
crudest characteristics Of the pioneers
were practiced. But Uncle John in
his fathers hut down IN the Hiwassee
river valley regarded Wautauga as
the center around which civilization
revolved. 1t was the "Gotham" OF
the world to them, and one of the
ambitions of Uncle John was to visit
there, but in those days vacations,
summer trips and tours were not in
vogue, and the Indians always seemed

Mexicans Should
Respect U. S.

Ell PASO, Aug. 30.-Major Gener-
al Robert L. Howe, who arrived here
yesterday to assume command OF the
border, declared in statement last
night that it seems reasonable to ex-
pect that our neighbors, the Mexi-

He added that as the world war
was over, "and practically all of our
combat divisions are at home again,
those in authority if they see fit, are
we'll able to adopt policy that should
bring favorable and happy results"
"This policy should bring about ia
vorable results as far as concerns first
our own interests and those of our
friends, subjects of Great Britain and
France, who have vast property hold
ings in Mexico; and second as far as
concerns Mexico in stabilizing or in
establishing a livable form of govern
ment," General Howe said.
"We are living in a time too far
advanced for the world to tolerate
any but livable forms of government
wherever people may choose to live.
Fortunately, American military
matters on the border are in the very
best of hands, those of Major Gener-
al Joseph T. 'Dickman, at San Anto-
nio, who in turn is backed up by our
strong chief of staff, General March"
General Howe came direct from
New York, arriving there Sunday
from occupied area of Germany
where he commanded the Third divis-
ion on the Rhine. He was in COM
mand of this district before going
overseas. He relieved Brigadier Gen.

BASEBALL INTEREST
GROWS IN RICHMOND

All trails lead to baseball diamonds
in Richmond.
Enthusiasm in baseball is rapidly
increasing and the number of teams
being organized is augmenting. By
the first of next week meeting will
be called to organize another twilight
league for evening ball.
Sam S. Vigran announced Thursday
that he would help to launch the new
league in satisfactory manner. The
Adam H. Bartel, the Fred Bethard
companies and BARRIERS and bankers
are some of the latest possibilities tor
new league besides the Progress
Hat, Richmond Baking company and
Webb-Coleman.
The new league promises to have
more teams than the present CONNER
cial league which is operating with
six clubs on the evening schedule. The
present prospects are that there will
be baseball at both the Fairgrounds
and Exhibition park almost every
evening after work.
Industrial concerns are recognizing
that recreation is a big asset for their
employees and are expected to back
their respective baseball ventures.
Baseball in the Commercial league
an dthe new league to be organized
is not so much for the winning quail
tiles of the teams but more for the
exercise and recreation that the teams
receive, Almost every city of any
size in the country has already adopt
ed this plan of recreation as the best
means of solving the problem.
