DESPONDENT,
KILLS HIMSELF
JOHN |. RANKIN, AGED 19 YEARS
SHOT SELF THROUGH BREST
MONDAY EVENING
SUFFERED THIRD ATTACK OF
THE FLU, AND HAD BECOME
DESPoNDENT

John l. Rankin aged 10 years, shot
himself through the breast Monday
afternoon. He is said to have placed
gun against his breast and pushed
the trigger with an umbrella. The
shot went through his body. He died
instantly. Young Rankin suffered an
attack of flu in December, and had
since suffered two other attacks. 1t
is thought dependency caused him to
commit the act.
The family of Rankin came from
jefferson county about one year or
more ago. They are among the most
prominent people of that county.
Hundreds mourn the death of the
young man. His mother died about
two years ago. His father, who runs
a store on Depot street, two brothers
and six sisters, survive. The young
man was liked by all who knew him,
and was of good moral character.
Interment took place at Peck's
Chapel Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. M.
Emert officiating.

TAKES ALL CREDIT
FOR RECENT DANCE

Editor Maryville Times:
Learning that the Committee who
managed the homecoming celebra-
tion to our brave soldier lads week
ago last Saturday, also the Red Cross,
has been falsely and unjustly accused
of, and criticised, privately and
publicly, for giving the dance for the
boys that night, l desire TO inform
the public, or anyone else, that the
Committee, or Red Cross, neither
knew of the dance or had anything
whatever to do with it, and that |
alone am the person who planned,
engineered, promulgated and promot-
ed the dance, without any assistance
or advertising, and from the person.

some of the best citizens of Maryville
and Blount county who attended and
participated, | call it bowling

RAILWAY CROSSINGS
DANGERS PRESENTED
TO CITY COMMISSION

A committee from the Tuesday
club, of which Mrs. J. A. McCulloch
is the chairman, appeared before the
board of city commissioners at their
meeting Tuesday evening, to request
that that body take some definite
action toward having gates, signals,
or other protection placed at the rail-
way crossings in Maryville. Every
body in town knows how dangerous
these crossings are. 1t is criminal for
the town and the railway to permit
them to remain without protection to
the people. The Tuesday club took
this matter up with Supt. Hood, and
he sent their request to the head
quarters in Washington, with his
recommendation that something be
done. However, this appeal has ap-
parently been ignored by head Off
cials. Now it is time for the city
commission and citizens generally to

MOTHERS DAY
MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION BY
THE GOVERNOR
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF TENNESSEE

WHEREAS, By recent Act House
Bill No. 1T, the Sixty-frst General
Assembly designated and set apart
the second Sunday in May as
Mothers Day, and recommended that
on this day as a special symbol of
love that a white flower be worn for
mothers deceased and bright flower
be worn for Mothers living;
NOW, THEREFORE, l, A. H.
ROBERTS, Governor, by virtue of
this authority do hereby declare and
set apart Sunday, May IL, 1919 as
MOTHERS DAY in the State of
Tennessee, and hereby call upon
every citizen in every walk of life
who wears the bright flower to do
something to honor mother and show
the appreciation felt to an all wise
God for having spared her life. The
white flower will serve as the key to
unlock the door of past recollections
of mothers love, devotion and
sacrifice, and as we go down the sad
isle of time, move US to perform
some deed in honor of our dearest
and truest friend.
The observance of Mothers Day
should be observed if possible with
greater devotion at this time than at
any other, when we realize that when
the war clouds gathered and the
peace, security and happiness of a
great nation were threatened, that a
citizenship composed of men and
women who honored God and loved
mother answered the call to battle
and overthrew an advancing de-
spotism of brutal monarchy.
Now basking in the sun light of an
everlasting tAace, let us display the
flag of our country from public
buildings, business houses, shops,
factories and homes, not as a mere
outward expression of our patriotism
but as the colors of our faith in, and
our devotion to our country's cause
firm, fixed and lasting as a mothers
love and as free from bitterness to-
wards our enemy as a mothers feel
ing and affection for her wayward
child.
l trust that suitable service will be
held in our churches, and at other
places where we may think Of and
discuss the sacred theme of Mother,
to encourage indulgence in senti-
ments of reverence, respect and
for mother and her sacred
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of State to be affixed, at
The Department in Nashville, this the
first day of May in the year of our
Lord, 1919, of the independence of
he United States, the one hundred

CONNECT TO
SEWER LINE
COMMISSIONERS ADVISE PROP
ERTY OWNERS TO HOOK UP
OR SUFFER PENALTY
NOTICES ISSUED INFORMING
THOSE WITHIN SANITARY
DISTRICTS

The city board of commissioners
has created sanitary districts, and ha:
this week issued notices to all per.
sons within these districts who have
not connected with the sewer to dc
so at once. Those who fail to con-
meet will suffer penalty, and will be
forced to connect. 1t was stated
that some had approached city of
ficials asking that this ruling to con-
meet with sewers be not enforced,
as bath tubs and other fixtures cost
money. Surely there is no one in
Maryville who wants to revert to the
old wash pan and rag custom of
Saturday night when he or she can
have a nice bath tub with hot and
cold water at all times of the day
and night.
People ought to have self respect
enough to put in these fixtures with
out compulsion. Decency and sani-
tation ought to cause them to want
to. Any man who can own a house
can afford this.
The sewer and water systems cost
and only by patronizing them
can they be made to pay for them
selves. Some kick on taxes, say Of
ficials, and then refuse to hook to
sewer lines and water lines, and help
pay the cost of these Improvements
and thus reduce the taxes.
