Raid
Near County Line
Late Sunday Night

Capt. Mcdonald, special raiding
deputy, of Knoxville, Dept. U. ).
Marshal ]. L. Carter and Sheriff.
Renner, of Greeneville, accompanied
by Sheriff Holt, of Cooke county,
made a raid late Sunday night, near
the Greene and Cooke county lines,
arresting three men and captured
some six gallons or more of moon
shine whiskey.
The officers had been given a tip
regarding the locality to visit, and go
ing to the homes of W. M. Davis and
Henry Nolen arrested both men, and
few minutes later arrested Harri-
son Grooms on the bridge near this
point as he was undertaking to es-
cape. Six gallons of whiskey was
captured. The men were all placed

give bond and were placed in the Jail
at Newport to await preliminary
hearing. The other man gave bond
and was given his liberty. All the
men live just across the line in
Cooke county, and one of them, it is
stated, own good two hundred acre
farm. The officers failed to locate
any still and the general opinion is
that the men were merely go-be-
tweens and were handling the whis-
key for other parties. However, it is
expected that something more tangi-
BILE will develop at the hearing be-
fore the commissioner within the next
few days.
The government is placing new
raiding deputies in the field in all
sections of the county. These mer
are expected to cooperate with loca
officers in various communities, and
Sheriff Renner states that much OF
the moonshine business in Greene
county is going to be broken up soor
if it is within his power to bring il
about.

WHEN YOU HAVE A
TALENTED GUEST
By Sophie Irene Loeb
: : = = = = : = = + = = = :

The other evening | sat at dinner
next to a girl whom l knew by repu-
tation as talented singer. During
our conversation | CLEANED that she
was worried for fear she would be
asked to sing.
She told me how all day she had
been working very hard and how
tired she was, and that she did not
want to sing, especially after meal
and yet dreaded the ordeal of refus,
ing.
And, sure enough, after the din
ner a number of the guests insisted
on her showing off her talent. 1t was,
indeed, with great difficulty and con-
siderable embarrassment that she
"got out Of it,"
With a great sigh of relief, she
turned to me, later and said: 81 do
hope that they will not ask me to do
it again. want to sing and | want
to do my best.
II hate to appear to be rude, and
vet | want to relax and have good
time like the other people, without
having to try to live up to my record
when | least feel like it,"
1t is truly remarkable how incon-
siderate people are of their talented
guests. 1t it certainly unfair to in
vite lot of people, many of whom
have nothing to do but get ready for
the party, and entertain them through
the efforts of another invited guest
who has doubtless worked hard all
day at her talent.
After all, it is a poor compliment
to invite anybody to your home and
then ask him or her to entertain your
guests.
1t is very little removed from ask
ing them to pay for their invitation.
People, especially professional, re-
sent this, and rightfully.
There is no more reason for you
to invite Mary Nightingale to your
home to dinner and insist on her sing
ing than it is for you to ask Mr.
Moneybags to bring his books and
show you how he makes his money.
An invitation to a talented person
should not mply an obligation to
show what lie can do.
On the contrary, the host or host
ess who really aims to please her
guests takes special care to make
them see that her interests is to enter
tain them and not that they do the
entertaining.
| have always found that the best
way to treat talented people or pro-
fessionals, whose daily or nightly
grind is entertaining, is to let them
alone-to do as they please; and nine
times out of ten they will voluntarily
do their share of being agreeable
even to the point of presenting their
speciality.
AS a general proposition true ar
lists love their work, and when they
are in the mood they are only too
delighted to have people get pleasure
out of their performance.
AS one great pianist said to me,
II love to play for people whom |
think really want me to play, but |
hate to do it when it is expected of
me as a part of the evenings pro-
gram"
A "funny" man, a stage celebrity,
gives an instance Of how he was in
vited to dinner and found one of the
members of the family with pad and
pencil to take down all he said.
True hospitality in the last analy-
sis lies in making a person feel the
pleasure of being entertained, even
though he himself contributes to the
entertaining.
It is a poor invitation that has
string attachment of obligation.
