We struck Ireland at Clifden and
made good progress from there, al
though our steering engine broke
down Saturday morning. We started
with 1900 gallons of gasoline and
had 1000 left.
Pleased With Trip.

the trip, all of US. l expect import
ant changes in the size and speed of
future arships-big ships that will
travel 20 to so miles an hour and

This has been great trip" said

struck the Irish coast We passed
over the Isle of Man about 3 o'clock
this morning and then, mounting
above the clouds, witnessed a most
beautiful sight. Above was the
bright moon; below soft, heecy
clouds. touched with all the colors
of the rainbow, and far down below
occasionally could be seen the dark.
deep blue of the sea. But we did
not have time to admire the beauty
of the scene.
Moved Along in Comfort.
I'VE soon passed over Liverpool
and then other cities and towns, and
here we are. We suffered no hard
ship and no inconvenience except
that we had no hot water for shaw
ing. Our eggs were cooked in the
exhaust of the engines and we had
plenty OF other good coffee, tea,
ard cocoa to drink. No one suffered
from air sickness, and while the sea

we're moving along in comfort on
all even keel.
Regular airship service between
Europe and America is bound to
come and soon."
The members of the crew were
eagerly surrounded by friends who
were waiting at the airdrome.

the trip.

a .ong sea voyage, with the ultimate
view of their commercial use later.
Airships undoubtedly will be used
in the future over the sea and over

way with the airplane or seaplane,
but all will work together.

CLEAN YOUR
PREMISES NOW
CITY COMMISSIONERS WILL
FINE THOSE WHO DO NOT
KEEP THEIR YARDS SANITARY
LAW SHOULD BE ENFORCED,
AND DISEASE BREEDING
PLACES ELIMINATED

The city commissioners have issued
circulars calling upon the people of
the town to clean their premises and
keep them clean. Violation of the
ordinance will be punished by fine.
The people of Maryville should real
ize the danger that comes from un-
sanitary premises. 1t not only en-
dangers the lives of the people living
thereon, but the lives of all the peo-
pie of the town. There are some
places in Maryville that are so filthy
it is unpleasant to pass them, and
remarks have often been heard of the
dirtiness of the places. This should
not be. Unclean premises are breed
ing places for disease carrying insects
and these endanger the lives of all
the citizens.
Every one who is near a sewer line
should connect. Civic pride and de-
sire for good health should inspire all
who can connect with the sewer, to
do so. However, if those who are
near do not connect, public demand
should compel the city officials to
make them connect.
Clean your premises and keep them
clean. 1t meets better health and
longer live for you.

Centennial Forward
Fund Of $325,OOO

On February 8, 1916, word was re-
ceived that the General Education
Board had appropriated the sum of
$4,000 toward a Centennial For
ward Fund of 100000, to be added
to the present endowment of Mary
vile College. This was, indeed, well
come news. 1t formally launched a
great and greatly needed forward
movement, and provided one-fourth
of the desired amount. The action
of the Board came as a climax to
painstaking toll on the part of Presi-
dent Wilson extending over a period
of many months.
The rebuilding of Carnegie Hall,
after the fire of April II, 1916,
necessitated the increasing of the
amount of the Forward Fund to
$325,OOO. The College Faculty i'm
mediately subscribed $4,000, and by
a special campaign spontaneously
undertaken by the Board of Com
merce, of Maryville, $4,000 addi-

OVER THE TOP
In BOND SALE
TOWNSEND DISTRICT, AS USUAL
is FIRST TO MEET ITS QUOTA
IN BONDS
BUY BONDS NOW AS AMOUNT
WILL SOON BE TAKEN, AND
you CAN'T EVER BUY

The fifteenth district, including
Townsend, was the first district in the
county to go over the top in its pur-
chase of Liberty Loan bonds. This
district has formed habit of going
over first and it holds that record.
Its quota was $4,000.
The fifth district, with quota of
$7500, has goneFover the top with
s1O,5O0.
The ninth district has gone over
with $4,000.
The nineteenth has purchased $11,
900.
The eleventh district has gone over
its quota.
Incomplete returns show that ;bo /
$125,OOO of the $1S0,OOO Blount's
quota, have been taken.
If you expect to get some of the
bonds of this issue, you must buy
them now, as there will not be any
over subscriptions. When the county
has taken $180,OOO worth of bonds,
the sale here stops. The demand for
bonds this time has been more
spontaneous than heretofore. Blount
county has never failed, and she will
not fail this time. But some will be
disappointed in not getting bonds if
they do not hurry.

METHODIsTS TO HELP
SOLDIERS GET JOBS

Chattanooga, Tenn. April 29.-The
Methodist church will be transformed
into giant employment bureau for
discharged soldiers and sailors on
May 4, according to plans being for
mulated at the Chattanooga area
headquarters here. From every pull
pit of the denomination the unem-
ployment problem win be put for
ward and the peril discussed fully by
the Methodist Minute Men,. In
many churches over the south the
business men in the congregation on
Employment Sunday" will drop
slips in the offering, stating how
many men they can use. Those
seeking positions will also put in their
names, and a committee of the
church will bring them into contact
with employers needing help.
The applicants for positions do not
have to be members of the Methodist
church or anyo ther church in order
to get the aid of the Minute Men in
their employment drive. The fact
that they serve with the colors will be
sufficient recommendation.
The plans provide for cooperation
with the United States employment
bureau and that conducted by the Y.
NJ. C. A. in towns and cities where
they are located.
The chairman of the Methodist
Minute Men of the Chattanooga area,
who are conducting the employment
drive, is H. C. Black, a prominent
banker of Johnson City, Tenn. The
entire organization numbers about
1900 and was formed in the interest
of the Methodist Centenary campaign
for world Christianization.

RED CROSS
NOT GUILTY

In as much as there has been con-
siderable criticism the Local Chapter
of the Red Cross on account of
furnishing cigarettes to the soldiers
and sailors last Saturday and also on
account of the dance that was held
in front of the Court House that
evening.
THEREFORE, The executive and

Chapter of American Red Cross wish
to state publicly and most emphati-
cally that the Red Cross had absolute
ly nothing to do either with furnish
ing the cigarettes or holding the

"He is not dead; but He IS risen,"
On the glad Easter Day which we
keep as a token of the rising from
the earthly grave of our Heavenly

is now inviting us to come up higher
and to live as God would have US live
and to meet him in Heaven where all
is love, peace and happiness.
The above does not begin to do
justice to the deceased but the deeds
of goodness he performed will remain
an example to all who knew Uncle
Witt. And we will cherish in our
memories his useful life and realize
now as never before that he was a
friend and helper of every good and
deserving cause.

The Week Beginning on Friday, May
80, and Ending on Thursday, June
S, 1919, will Commemorate the
First One Hundred Years of the
History of Maryville College

The approaching Commencement
will undoubtedly be the greatest
event, in many respects, in all 'the
long and honorable career of Mary
vile College. The founding of the
College by DIR. Isaac Anderson, in
1919, and the reopening after the
Civil War by Prof. T. J. Lamar, in
1866, were indeed, of at least equal
Importance. The present occasion
will but mark in an appropriate
manner the onward march of pro-
gress in the history of an institution
to which many loyal and self-sacri-
ficing men and women have given
their life service to make possible.
The Commencement of 1919 will,
however, close the first century and
begin the second century of Mary
ville's history. 1t is fitting, there
fore, that there should be great
home e-coming of Maryville's sons and
daughters from the ends of the earth,
and a Centennial Celebration that
will keep alive the glories and
achievements of their Alma Mater.
To this end the Directors and Faculty
are preparing special program of
exercises that will begin on Friday,
May 80, 1919, and continue until
Thursday, June 5, 1919.
Besides many other exercises that
will be appropriate to the occasion,
the principal events will be the
Baccalaureate Service and Sermon,
on Sabbath, June l; the Graduating
Exercises respectively of the Pre-
paratory, Music, Expression and
Public Speaking, and Home Ec-
onomics Departments, at times that
will be announced in the official pro-
gram; and the Centennial Commence
ment Exercises, on Thursday, June
5.
Three special Centennial events
will be of more than ordinary interest
to the visiting Alumni and friends of
the College. One of these it is con-
expected will be the an
nouncement by the President and
Directors of the completion of the
Centennial Forward Fund of $685.
900. To this end untiring efforts
and prayers are being made. Another
event will be the Centen-
nial Pageant. This is planned to be
held in the open air on Wednesday
night, June 4. The theme of the
is the Hundred Years of
College. A cast of four
hundred persons will portray twenty
or more scenes illustrating the life,
growth, and characteristics of the
College. The third important special
event will be the Jubilee, planned for
the afternoon and night of Com
Day. This jubilee will,
in the afternoon, celebrate the return |
If world peace and the Centennial of
the College, and will include "col-
ege sing" At night, a huge bonfire
celebration will mark the completion |

century of Christian service for the

ESQUIRE A. w. SHIELDS

The following was prepared and
read by Mr.. Geo. D. Roberts at the
funeral of Esq. A. w. Shields of
Cades Cove, last week:
The deceased whom we all love,
and whose life has been life of ex-
ceptionally usefulness and Of un-
questionable, honest, integrety and
energy; and pattern it would be
well for us all to try to initiate was
born March 9Th 1850 and departed
this life April goth 1919. Hence he
spent more than 50 years here during
which time he was known far and
wide as friend of every good cause,
and no doubt will be missed as no
one else of US would.
In his home life he was always
looking out for the comfort, pleasure
and best interest of each member of
his amily. "Uncle Witt" was very
devoted to his amily and friends. He
was first married to Annie c. Walker,
January 10, 1878. To this union
eight children were born, six of
whom are living, and two of whom
have gone on before and were await
ing him at the portals on the right
hand of God and on the 21st day of
August 1896 his first wife gave up
the walks of this life and went on
before to meet her departed children
and to await other members of the
family.
On October 19, 1898 the eceased
was again married, this time to Mary
Lawson. He and "Aunt Mary" lived
happily together until yesterday
morning when God said to him, "Well
done my good and faithful servant
Come up higher" So his soul took it's
flight to the God who gave it and now
his spirit rests in the arms of Jesus
while his dear wife, six children,
twenty grandchildren and a host of
relatives and friends remain here to
mourn their loss.
In his public life he was a leader
of men and we all knew him as a
true, conscientious citizen ever look
ing to the interest of the public good.
He was at the time of his departure
a member of the county court which
office he had held for a number of
years during his life. He was also
Postmaster for ten years.
Last but greatest of all, he was
firm and fixed in his faith in God,
and was unshakable in his religious
convictions having professed saving
faith in Christ and joining the Cades
Cove Primitive Baptist church more
than 30 years ago. To which church
he lived and died a loyal member,
having been a leader and deacon of
his church for a number of years.
His pocket-book was always open to
the needs of his pastor, his church or
to any cause of charity or public
need. He died as he had lived, happy
in his faith in his Heavenly Father.
Furthermore he died in his right mind
as we have all heard him pray that he
might. Greatest of all his last words
were songs of praise and his actions
