Chautauqua
Committee Will
Meet Tonight

All Chautauqua guaranteers are
requested to meet at the Recorders
office this Thursday evening at 8
o'clock, to go over the situation and
adopt some plan for selling the
$1750.00 worth of season tickets. All
these tickets must be sold before the
first day Of the Chautauqua, and to
do this means work. Every signer of
the guarantee stands personally for
the full amount of the tickets, so if
your name is on the list it certainly
behooves you to come out tonight
and suggest some way of disposing
of these season tickets as quickly as
possible.
We earnestly believe that the cit
liens of Greeneville and Greene
county who witnessed the chautau-
qua last year enjoyed it immensely.
The program for this year-May
9Oth to June 7th, is one of the very
best the Redpath people have ever
given. There is no reason why chau-
tauqua week should not be made one
Of much enjoyment. Greeneville is
now on the largest chautauqua cir
cult and will get the best program
the Redpath people put on. We will
get identically the same numbers
from day to day that will be given in
Chattanooga, Nashville
and Memphis. If you want to en-
courage clean, moral and education
ii amusements for the town and COM
then help to make chautau-
qua week big success.

A WORD OF WARNING

The vacant lot, the Hirsch proper
ty, just in the rear of the passenger
station, has been converted into a
playground or background, rather,
by the youths of that section Of town.
About twenty-five feet from the side
walk is an old well, possibly twenty
feet deep, which stands open, moth
ing over it nor around it. The fences
are all down around this property,
and the "kids" have taken charge.
1t might save someone a big damage
suit if those having this property in
charge would see to it that this death
trap is done away with without de-
lay.

ing here at 2:30, according to the
present schedule. Arrangements are
being made to have the big tank TAX

some maneuvers on the vacant lot
just in the rear Of the passenger de-
pot. If the time devoted to this
point will permit, the operator may
drive the monster to nearby point
on the Rogersville road, where its
power Of climbing hills and going
over rough places will be revealed to
the onlookers.
The free demonstration at the ex-
pense of the government should at
tract several thousand people to

doubt, bring the people Of Greene
county here on that day. These peo-
Pile will come with the intention Of
--s y ing the day here. 1t has been
suggested that the "blue sky"aaws
low in effect here be suspended for
he day.. If this is not done, there
will doubtless be many who will go

ID that movement is on foot look
ng to take care of this big crowd

'e made to entertain the citizens of
he county after they have been in
luced to come here.

DEVELOPMENT SUNDAY"

cations have indicated that they will
try to bring employers and men seek

The many friends of Mr.. j. Cas-
tro Emerson will regret to learn that
he left Saturday on No rs for Okla
homa City, Okla, to undergo another
operation in a last effort to save his
right leg. In September Mr.. Emer-
son was operated on in New York, by
the famous DR.. Albee, but up to this
time his leg has shown hut small i'm
provement. In case this operation
fails, there is nothin else to do but
the leg. 1t is probably that
in case Mr.. Emerson regains his
health, he will reside permanently in
Oklahoma,

To our critics-if The Daily Sun
does not cover the news of the day
just to your liking, you should start
a newspaper of your own and try
your hand. Some folks make sug-
gestions to you freely concerning the
manner in which they would handle
certain situations-but if they were
to undertake to carry out these ideas,
they would soon appreciate that it
is always best to "be sure you are
right" and then put it in print. You
may discuss a matter on the street
corner with friend, when you I'M
dertake to put that conversation in
print made up purely from hearsay,
you may expect to get into a trap,
from which you find it difficult to ex-
tricate yourself. The policy of this
newspaper is to do as much good as
we can to everybody without iniur-
ing anyone. If you are looking for
filthy, dirty stories, you won't find

The trial of several colored boys,
which came up before Judge Bewley
in the city court yesterday afternoon
attracted large crowd to the court
room. 1t will be remembered that
some weeks ago two or three white
boys from Washington county were
attacked near the city limits as they
were leaving town, by crowd of
colored boys. One of the white boys
was pretty badly beaten up, and the
automobile in which they we're rid
ing was also badly damaged. Sher-
iff Renner made several arrests, but
the proof as brought out in the trial
was not sufficient to hold them,
and the case was dismissed.

sLITTING CROWS TONGUE But
A FABLE

The organ of the Agassiz Society
contains a discussion by prominent
bird authorities concerning the old
idea OF Sitting crows tongue to
make the bird talk. The following
is distracted:
ut is common practice in the
West to catch the young birds in
early June and place them In a cage,
where they become very tame and
usually talk as we'll as parrot.
Many people keeping these birds
have believed II necessary to slit
their tongues before they could
learn to talk. This Is wholly un-
necessary and cruel and should be
prevented by law.
"The discussion of Sitting crows
tongues is relegated to the medley
al limbo Of belief in the i'll luck in
peacock feathers. OF dragon flies
sewing up ones ears. of whisky for
snake-bite, of man-eating sharks, or
rabbits feet, and the number l3, or
going under ladders, spiling salt,
and breaking mirrors"
