SOLDIERS MEMORIAL PARK

| The LIST day of October, 1919, has
almost arrived. The note executed
for the purchase of the Hirsch lot by
the committee bidding it in for park
! sdue October LIST. Mr.. Trim, who
sold this lot and has the collection of
the purchase money, feels that those
persons both in Greeneville and in
the county should have the offer of
the lot from the bidders as was an
nounced on the day Of sale. Mr.. Trim
is very DESTROYS that this lot be made
a Soldiers Memorial Park. He is
very favorable to the enterprise. He
will give all time possible for the
friends of the proposed park to or
ganize and raise the money that is
consistent with his duty as the exec
utor handling said fund.
Now, will those bidding the lot in
for memorial park tamely lie down
because Greeneville has a few OBJ
jectors to any enterprise in the in
terest of the public welfare or in the
honor of Greene county's heroic dead,
or of her noble and numerous living
ex-soldiers throughout the county.
Let the soldiers friends make one
strong effort to raise the money.
$15,00O.00 first, to purchase the
Hirsch lot at the price at which it was
bid in, $14,000.O0, and the contin-
gent expenses. The money to i'm
prove can be paid in later. Will
these friends rally?
have the following offer. Is it a
good one? 1t will produce the money.
1t will produce necessary fund if our
prosperous moneyed-men will act.
Remember, fellow citizens, you can
take no money into your coffin. You
have stay ed at home and you have
made money, while the boys carried
Old Glory, our flag to victory and to
fame. Because of the valor of the
boys you have prospered. Now, can
you not give for their future pleas
ure--for their honor--a few of your
surplus dollars?
One man offers to be one of 100
men who will give $4,000 each,
making net sum of $50, 100000; this
to be paid % percentum down, $140.-
90. That raises $15,000.00.. This
pays for the lot and for deed, tax,
interest and perhaps a small excess
left. Then the remainder of the five
hundred dollars to be made in two
payments as follows: SO per cent in
one year, $4,000, and So per cent in
two years, $4,000, with the accru-
ing interest. Let these deferred pay
ments be set up by good and solvent
notes. The work ca nproceed. :
Out of population Of more than
thirty five thousand inhabitants of
Greene county, can there be found

INTERESTING TALKS

The people of Greeneville are Of
fered a rare treat Tuesday evening
at o'clock, when DR.. w. A. Crozier,
of Tusculum, and Miss Irene Bewley,
this city, will make talks on work in
France, at the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church.
DR.. Crozier spent nearly two years
in France, one year of which was
while the war was in progress, in con-
nection with the Y. M. CA. Miss
Bewley has just returned from SER
vice in France with the Y. M. C. A.,
and both are prepared to give inter-
esting data on the work accomplish.
ed.
Everybody cordially invited to
come out for these talks, which prom
Use to be both interesting and educa-
tional. No admission will be charged.
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-09-29

four hundred and ninety nine more
men like this one man who makes this
offer? Do not all speak at once. Yes;
there are one or two more men al
ready pledged to pay $4,000.
But to secure this $14,0OO.0O can
we not put out 100 subscription
books, about four to each civil dis
trict, get it from all who are willing
to subscribe from a penny up to a
sum as large as can be obtained.
The boys who charged the enemies
of their county with bayonets are
willing to speak kindly to neighbors
and get subscriptions, all that can be
obtained.
Let US try it. Let us all have a
chance to aid in this noble and most
laudable enterprise. Remember, "It
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.' Give in honor of your son,
in honor of your neighbours son. Do
not let this chance fail. This is love
of country.
Have we not got one hundred men
in Greene county who can spare
$4,000 in three years? Have we
not got in population of thirty five
thousand inhabitants more than five
hundred persons who will give one
hundred dollars each to the pleasure
of our many gallant boys, now on the
"Roll Of Honor" as ex-soldiers who
offered their lives for home, liberty
and country? Will you not help?
You cannot afford not to help. Talk
for it; pray for it; give for it. Boys,
| am with you for the park. 1t will
be thing of beauty and a joy for
ever. 1t will mark the beginning Of
greater things for you and for
Greene county. Reply at once, by
mail. Will each district furnish
few men to canvass the district.
This money can be raised. This
Soldiers Memorial Park can be es-
tablished. Let it be organized with
board of trustees, reliable men, un-
der bond. Let a plan of buildings,
walks and monuments be made and
then executed to the letter. Does
Greeneville and Greene county want
a park right in the center of Greene
vile? If you do, the Hirsch lot is
now available. If this opportunity is
lost, all is lost. No other space in
town. You will have to build out
side after this chance is lost.
Where can you locate a better or
more accessible or more beautiful
lot? Greeneville is now 1876 years
old. 1t is not ornamented with a
park. 1t has not been a necessity
till now.
In 1894 Greeneville College was
Incorporated. Greeneville has not
Ouilded and grown in wealth and re-
1own according to the foundations
ain by the founders. Let the people

awake and break the bars of the in
sidious land pirates-those who own
ed vacant lots they would not sell.
Awake to your now grand opportuni-
ty! Let some of our wealthy walk up
buy the Hirsch lot and give it to the
name Of our soldier boys. Do it!
You stayed out of the bitches, off the
battle line, saved your hides whole,
without a hole from bullet or bayo-
net or cannon ball, and you were
saved from the palsey--the effects of
battle scare, now do your duty to
your country in some way.

CHAPTER XVI.
Rickard in Town.

The town woke to a matter r-of-fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
runaway river had passed with the
night. The word spread that the flood
waters were under control: that the
men had gone home to sleep, so the
women got breakfast as usual. and
tidied their homes. The Colorado was
always breaking out, like a naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry of ''The river!" fail to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted. and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit Of swift
reaction.
That afternoon. Mrs. Youngberg was
to entertain at the A b c ranch the
ladies' of the Improvement club. 1t
was self-glorification meeting. to
celebrate the planting of trees in the
streets of Calexico. and to plan the
campaign of their planting. Mrs.
Blinn drove into town to get Gerty
Hardin. Neither woman had seen her
husband since the interrupted drive
the night before.

CHAPTER XVII,
Opposition.


The second night of the flood, the
women Of the towns dragged brush
and filled sacks for the men to carry.
1t was past midnight when Innes Har-
J din left the levee. While her feet and
fingers had toiled, her mind had been
fretting over Tom. Two nights, and
no rest: 1t was told by men who came
down the river how Hardin was hero
ically laboring. She yearned to go to
him; perhaps he would stop for a few
hours to her entreaty. But an uncer-
| tain trail across country. with the
dust-laden wind in her face? She de-
cided to wait for the dawn. A snatched
sleep first, but who would call her?
She would sleep for hours, SO weary
every muscle. Her mind fixed on Sam
as the only man in town who had
time to saddle a horse for a woman.
She went in search of him. She
found ths:t the long adobe office build
ing had already taken on the look Of
defeat, Of ruin. The easements had
been torn from the partitions; the
doors and windows were out. The fur
niture had been hauled up to high
ground farther away for safety. She
went hunting through the ghoulish
gloom for the darky. turning her Ian
tern in every dark corner. She knew
that she would find him sleeping.
Then she heard steps on the veranda.
She ran toward them, expecting to see
Sam. . She swung her lantern full on
two figures mounting the shallow
steps. Ricknrd was with her sister,
in-law.
"Oh, excuse ~ she blurted blum
deringly. OF course Gerty would take
wrong intention. from the stupid
words!
The blue eyes met those of 1nnes
with defiance. It was as though she
had spoken: "Well, think what you
will of it, you Hardinsl don't care
what you think of mel"
What indeed did she think of it?
Why should she feel like the culprit
before these two. her words desert
ing herr 1t was Gerty's look that
made her feel guilty. as though she
had been spying. To meet them to-
gether, here at midnight, why should
not they feel ashamed? She had done
nothing wrong. And Tom down yon-
der fighting-and they make his abb
sence cover for their rendezvous.
| "I'm looking for Sam!' The effort
behind the words turned them into an
oratorical challenge.
$50 are we. l want to send him

"She can go home with me. l am 60
ing directly. AS soon as give a mes
sage to Sam" She instantly regretted
her words. abruptly halting. 1t came

waiting for her. Riekard could near
the man repeat. "I'm sorry, Miss Har-
din. It's an outrage. That's what 1t
is."
Queer, they couldn't see that 1t was
Hardin's fault; Hardin who was up
the river fighting like a melodramatlc
hero; fighting without caution or re-
serve, demoralizing discipline; he
couldn't help admiring the bulldog en-
ergy, himself. That was what all these
men adored. He'd clenched the girls
antagonism, now, for surel How her
eyes had flashed at himl
Hello! There was tree floating

Obediently her friend hailed Rick
ard. He turned back to the windy
street. He felt boyish; the crisis was
giving him mercurial feet. He loved
the modern battle. Elements to pit
ones brains against, wits against
force!
Gerty Hardin's face was flushing
and paling. 'The river" she faltered.
SHOULD we be alarmed, Mr.. Rickard?"
Smiling, he assured her she should
not be alarmed; the levees would pro-
tect the towns.
"Mr. Hardin is up at Fassett's
ranch, he will be coming back today.
I told your husband, Mrs. Blinn, to
catch a nap and then relieve Mr.. Har-
din"
Gerty found significance in his
words. He had said "Mr. Hardin" and
'your husband, Mrs. Blinn." 1t was
enough to weave dreams around.

voice tremulous.

parting.

he grumbled.

gineer.
