Rare Old Time
Had at Newport

NEWPORT, Tenn, Sept. 26.-The
sensational event of circuit court here
since it convened a week and half
ago took place In front Of the court
house door, on the curb of the main
street, yesterday at one o'clock, when
Sheriff John Holt, in the presence of
Judge Drinnon and Attorney General
Creswell and crowd of about two
hundred local citizens, chopped up
seven moonshine stills, captured in
his county within the last few
months. The capacities of the stills
"anged from ten to fifty gallons. Fol
owing the chOpping of the stills thirty
gallons Of all-proof moonshine liquor
were poured into the gutter. The
gutter wa8 so nearly level that the
whiskey could not out travel the
crowd.
BY the time it had run two-thirds
of block a gang of negroes had an
'mprovised dam of ordinary gutter
ilth constructed so that the onrush
of rare spirits found a stopping place
and in a few minutes it was ankle
deep in the gutter ard appeared to
be as clear as a crystal. A big bur
ley negro took his place in the cen,
ter of the gutter-dam and began dip.

Today was devoted to the schools
Of the county, and had there been a
heart of stone in the great crowds
that witnessed the parade, that heart
would have been melted or else been
fit for the stone heap.
There must have been five thou
sand people on the streets with fully
half of them from the different
schools. So we'll were the schools
represented, that it was necessary to
for mines not only at the high school
building but at the grammar school
building, then in marching the two
lines met and passed in opposite direc-
tions, the effect of which was beau
tiful as well as inspiring.
Banners addressed to the county
court asking for more money for
schools, more buildings, more teach
ers and that a chance be given every
girl and boy to attend school, were
carried by some Of the schools.
All along the line of march, when
the children of the 0rphanage came
' in sight, it was the signal for waving
and hand-clapping. We sew tears in
the eyes Of some. Perhaps they saw
in their minds eye the lives from
which some of these dear children had
been rescued and put on the road to
useful citizenship by this great insti-
tuition.
Mr.. WISER, the superintendent of
the Orphanage, brought up the rear
of his big family with a pony and
cart, the little vehicle filed with the
wee tots. This little crowd, too, wore
the smile that betokened the love and
attention they were getting every day
of their little lives.
Probably no single event of this
splendid fair will do more good, last
ing good, to the community and coun-
ty in general that this "School Meet," :"
which was so ably handled by the men
and women who worked so hard to
make it a success.
After the parade, Mr.. Harry Clark,
of the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, made a stirring address in
behalf of education.
When the faculty and student body
of Tusculum passed in the parade, we
felt like lifting our hats and breath
ing a prayer that God would bless
that grand old institution. There
they came, every one with smile,
from faculty back to the last stu
dent; and why shouldn't they? One

vice with honor is enough to bring
perpetual smile on the faces of these
present-day workers, and on our

Two gentlemen from Knoxville
stood in front of the fruit department.
They were arguing the question as
to whether those fine apples and
peaches were actually raised here in
Greene county or not. They had
just about decided that they had not
when Francis Harrison hove in sight,
and they were soon convinced that
they were not only raised here in
three or four different orchards, but
that there were many orchards in the
county capable of producing as fine
fruit as any seen there. They re-
marked, "We didn't know you could
do it,"
AS usual, the Red Cross come to
the front. Some one remarked, "Per-
haps our soldier boys have seen so
much of the Red Cross that they have
grown weary of it," but to this they
gave answer, mo; thousand times,
no." in their eagerness to reach the
Red Cross booth and enjoy the splen-
did treat prepared for them by the
good people of the county from the
different Red Cross organization.
The Junior Red Cross booth was lib
orally patronized by all. Here the
children from the different junior
organizations contributed things to
sell, and a ready market was found
for everything. Mr.. H. r. Meade
contributed largely to the financial
success of this booth by letting the
ladies in charge sell his fruit juices
exclusively, and at the same time
gave pleasure to all who enjoyed his
product.
The fair was a success from start
to finish. It was accomplished at the
end of very poor crop year. 1t has
been great thing for this county
and for the individual 1t has been
managed by those who love to do
such things, and they entered into it
with all their hearts. Lets have the

Montgomery Gets New Machine.

H. B. Montgomery of the Motor

valuable fixtures to his up-to-date
equipped shop. One of the new fix
lures is the Weaver Tire Changer"
which is very necessary piece of
machinery where volume OF work
is on hand, such as the Motor Sup
ply Company is now handling. The
object of this machine is to remove
tires, likewise putting them on. The
very stiffest and hardest of tires can
be removed in a very few minutes.
The other machine is the Tire
Spreader and is used for spreading
a tire for inspection preparatory to
vulcanizing. Both of these pieces
OF machinery are very valuable as
we'll as necessary for the rapidly in
creasing business of the Motor Sup
ply Company. On another page of
this paper you will find the Motor

Takes Position in Minneapolis.

Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin Johnson de-

where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Johnson was a former
member of the grocery firm of Hal

destroyed by fire last spring. He goes
to Minneapolis to take a position
in general store, and we predict
that if the people of Minneapolis
like his services as we'll as the people
of DEBORAH did he is going to make
good from the start. He knows the
grocery business from a to and is
accommodating and attentive to GUS
toners wants, giving always the kind
of high class service that pleases
the public, and We wish him success
in his new field.
