MARYVILLE'S FUTURE
(Contrihuted)

(Contrihuted)
Considering conditions. 1t is the
desire of the writer to interest all
who may read this article, concerning
every citizen for better system of
improvements in our city and county
cooperation for roads, streets, bridges
and walks. We should have the work
done when weather and season IS
most favorable, and items figured out
and all near at hand to speed up the
completion, as delay is of much in
convenience, with extra expense, the
crowning of streets and roads where
the grades is over one per cent Is not
practical or profitable, it increases
the danger Of skidding and slipping
with any traffic and where is any
reason for it? There is absolutely
none, neither is there any need for
storm sewer where the water can be
conveyed on the top and center OF
hard surfaced roads, which gives
sanitation and self cleaning which is
"a great consideration in the up keep.
Now let US consider what Mary
vile is today and what she can be in
the years to come, if wisely handled
There will be one of the most COM
plete parks in the very center with
wide streets and walks that every
citizen will appreciate and the writer
suggests to start it growing, by
purchasing the strip Of land between
James A. Goddard and the county
property and lay out street 80 feet
wide from Court street to Gates
street near the old spring and close
up the street that is but little used
and build a good bridge over the
creek near the one now on the old
Cemetery pike or Gates street from
this bridge straighten the creek and
extend the street parallel through the
Gates property to Church sreet 80
feet wide with a walk II or 16 feet
wide around the entire boundary.
Now there should be some good en-
gineering to get from Main street by
connecting Cusick street to the Court
House by a modern viaduct with
double deck and double spans, which
will also connect Church street on
the same piers to the County property
where the Boulevard should be.
The writer does not expect to see
all this in a year, but hopes to see it

$500 to be paid when the plan is
assured. Who next? There is no
place discovered that can bd develop

and underpasses, to take care of the
tourists, the children and the citizens.

Red Cross Drive
Here November I'll

The Red Cross Membership Drive
is Nov. Pill. In Maryville there
will be a three days canvas. Be
ready with a dollar and get your but
ton with 1920 on it.
Remember what the Red Cross
stands for
Remember what the Red Cross
meant to the boys during their train
ing and overseas. During those DAYS
of anxiety when your boys We're away
the thought of the Red Cross was a
comfort to you--you knew she was
untiringly acting the part of ''the
greatest mother of all" 70 thousands
of our boys. Now you are learning
of he great peace plans-how the
Red Cross is still to be the beneficient
mother to the world. Guarding the
health of the amilies-teaching laws
of Health and right living to the
mother saving the babies of whom
now, one in every eight dies the first
year-teaching patriotism and the
JOY of service to the yourth of the
Nation. She is to train young wo-
men and mothers in First Aid and in
Hygiene, so that there will soon be an
organization capable of helping the
physicians during epidemics, spread
ing knowledge of public health so
that every community will have it's
nurse and every family will learn
what to do in emergencies. Think of
the thousands of children who die in
America each year of preventable
diseases whom a knowledge of Hy-
giene and proper care would have
saved 100000 died last year in
America, of tuberculosis. The Red
Cross is seeking a way to stop this
and will teach you how to help.
tennessee has black record as to
this disease and Blount county has
the highest number of cases of any
other county in the State. We can
not tell his too ofen. Let US realize
it and fight it with the physicians and
through the Red Cross, will you help
lower this record by becoming a mem
ber of the Red Cross. 1t takes
money to do it.
Help your county and state and
help build stronger America. Con-
slider the number of men rejected in
the draft on account of health and
ralize it is our duty to do all possible
to better general conditions. We
must begin the children. A county
Health Nurse comes in Nov. Show
her you mean to stand by her in her
efforts to build up better health in
the county by becoming a member of
the Red Cross.
Never has there been such an or
ganization equipped to give proper
instruction along health lines, ready
to train to save.
The Red Cross has been proved
what she has done is known to all
The Red Cross has trained the Public
Health Nurse in methods of com
munity work. AS she begins her
work in our county let US give her
hearty welcome by showing her the
largest membership we have ever had.
There are $4,000 people in this
county, will not 5000 join the Red
Gross? Will you? Remember that
one half of your dollar stays in the
county to benefit you.

QUAIL SEASON
OPENS NOV. IS

W. D. Howser, State Warden, has
issued the following notice relative to
the game laws:
Residents of Tennessee, who hunt
on Reelfoot Lake this season, are re-
quired to have a Reelfoot Lake Hunt
er's License, in addition to the State
Hunters License, the cost of each
being Two Dollars. All Hunter s
should procure their license before
going to the Lake, so as to avoid un-
necessary worry and trouble.
Those who hunt upon the lands of
another, in any section of the State,
are required to have hunters licen-
Sc, and if they hunt upon the enclosed
or tillable lands of another, they
must also have the written permission
of the landowner.
The real sportsman does not vio-
late the law by attempting to hunt
without licenses and the written per-
mission of the landowner, but there
are few men in almost every COM
munity, who call themselves sports
men, but who pay no attention to the
law. Such men have no respect for
the rights of others, and seem to take
a delight in creating an unpleasant
feeling between the landowner and
the sportsmen.
If the sportsmen and farmers will
report such fellows to the Depart
ment of Game and Fish, they will be
promptly prosecuted.
The Open Season is as follows:

toodh.cks,a nd elder ducks), coosa

THE WORK OF THE RED CROSS

During the year since the armistice
was signed much work has been done.
There has been a year of earnest,
absorbing, and successful work, both
in the U. S. and abroad. Most of it
along lines of war work for some
months yet this must continue.
There are still sick and wounded
soldiers. There are hungry and suf-
fering people. Many of the army
supplies have been given by the gov
ernment to the Red Cross for suitable
distribution in the war zones. Red
Cross workers are retained to do this.
There will still be Home Service
work, this will continue some months
yet The Home Service Department
has a glorious past and the Red Cross
is justly proud of what it has ac-
complished for the soldier and his
family. But however fine are the
achievements of the past, we do not
appeal to your gratitude for past
work but to your belief in what the
organization stands for in the present
and future. The Red Cross asks you
to stand by her now in what she is
attempting to do now. She wishes to
educate and train in the vital things
of life-to teach the youth of our
land how to live in good health-the
mother to save by proper care, her
children-to train the young women
in the care of the sick, in the home.
The physicians welcome this move
ment of the Red Cross to give train
ing to the women of the county. The
fight against disease is local fight,
The physician and the family must
work together for better conditions
Help in your locality by joining the
Rod Cross

LIBRARY IS
VERY POPULAR
HUNDREDS OF VOLUMES CON-
TRIBUTED TO INSTITUTION BY
MANY FRIENDS
PUBLIC is URGED TO MAKE USE
OF LIBRARY AND HELP IN ITS
SUPPORT

The opening of the Public Library
marks an epoch in Maryyille's history,
and its enthusiastic reception shows
| the need felt. During the Opening
Day, October Gath, when first open to
the Public, the heaaty acceptance
of the new Library, and the generous
contributions were particularly graft
flying.
Some of the visitors came with an
armful of books, and few of about
$50 came empty handed. The gifts
were so many the Librarian is unable
to publish the donors, but the Library
Board and Librarian, in behalf of the
Reading Public, wish to cordially
thank them and other generous
donors who have made our Library
possible: namely: Miss Cheney,
South Manchester, Conn, for about
500 new books; fiction, poetry and
books for boys and girls.
Miss Perry, Williamstown, Mass,
for three (3) barrels of books; encIy-
clopaedias, Standard histories, logic
and biography.
Miss Sheldon, Darlington, Mass,
for large number of pantry room
books from the Barrigton library.
The Tuesday Club, amongst Mary
vile donors, for their entire Club and
circulating library. A fine addition
to the fiction department.
Mr.. Arno Moore, for collection of
books from his personal library; reli-
gious, juvenile, literary; including
several years of Peloubet's Notes,
Literary Digest, and children's
papers.
Mrs. Means, Washington Ave, for
a set of Encyclopaedia Brittanica,
25 vols. A most valuable and valued
gife.
Mr.. Litterer for Letters and Papers
of the President; a large and hand
somely bound set ofs 10 vols, useful
for reference in any libi ry.
Mr.. Jasper Henry for a goodlv
number of books from his own and
Miss Margaret's library.
Mrs. Emma Alexander for many
volumes contributed before leaving
for Japan; with faith in their ulti-
mate usefulness.
Other valuable books are promised
amongst them, sets of Dickens and
Eliot, from Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde B.
Emert, and Wooster's unabridged
dictionary from Mr.. Fitzhugh.
18 Magazines are contributed for
the Reading Room. Most of them
regularly, including one French and
one Spanish.
One of the first great needs was
met when Mrs. K. P. Jones sent all
the furnihings of the former Crest
Room" thus supplying the Library
with chairs, couch, and two desks
and cases.
The list of donations would not be
complete without adding 80 boys
books contributed by Wilson McTeer.
We are especially glad of these, and
of the spirit shown by the boys and
girls who offer to bring their contri-
buttons and welcome the Library so
gladly.
Let everyone come and help on the
good work.
Those who have but partly paid
membership dues, kindly settle with
the Librarian, thus saving the solicit
ors the burden of collecting.
Bring books that you have read
and enjoyed, that others may also en-
joy them, and remember the Library
is yours, for your pleasure and profit.
A. Belle Smith, Librarian.

Watch Yourself Go By

Just stand outside and watch yourself go by,
Think of yourself as "he" instead of "I',
When you with she" as substitute for 81"
Have stood aside and watched yourself go by.
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man is you
And strive to make your estimate ring true.
Loves chain grows stronger by mighty link
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink,
