A DEFAULTER
Alfredo CasasOla, Mexican Vice Con-
sula and Social Leader AbscOnds,
When Confronted With Shortage

A reporter for THE OASIS has OBJ
tanned from the best sources an ac-
curate account of the disappearance
of Alfredo Casasola, former clerk at
the Mexican consulate in this city, who
was also quite lion socially, cutting
quite charming figure in functions
among Mexican society people on
both sides of the line.
Investigation of records of the con-
sulate by the new consul, Mr.. Emiliano
Tamez, developed that Casasola had
been engaged in number of peculiar
transactions with custom house
brokers and employees of the custom
house in Nogales, Sonora, and, more
over, that such transactions had ex-
tended over a period of several years
Casasola had covered his tracks by
.skilful manipulation of his books
which enabled him to evade detection
long time.
Mr.. Tamez made an exhaustive ex-
animation, discovering the accounts
of the young man manifesting de-
cided deficit Papers found indicated
that he was getting several hundred
dollars per month.
When the facts were fully deter
mined Mr.. Tamez wired the Depart
ment of Foreign Relations at Mexico
City the complexion of affairs, asking
removal of the offender, which was
granted by wire, and Casasola was
dismissed. Afterward Mrs. Tamez de-
tected the young man in the consular
office, endeavoring to remove some of

In the heat of the dispute there has been the newt

Years Old
OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD
FORMER TENNESSEAN
EVIDENCE SHOWS MAN MAY BIZ
HUNDRED AND THIRTY

Williamsburg, Ky.-Old man John
Shell, Of Greasy Greek, Leslie county
KY, is without question, the oldest
man in the civilized world.
He is former Tennessean, having
been born either in Carter or Sullivan
county, East Tennessee, and braved
the wilds of both states, settling on
the Greasy Creek in Leslie county,
thirty miles from the nearest settle
ment, where he has resided.
Old Uncle John Shell has absolute
ly no record of his age, although he
is inclined to believe he will be 11S
on Sept. 8. There are however, some
very authentic things to indicate thai
tn" old man is ahou 10 years old
this according to reports and the
opinion of the oldest men in Greasy
Greek vicinity. Old Uncle Henry
Campbell, near neighbor, and him
self past so, says he has often seen d
tax receipt in the name of old John
Shell dated 1909, and judging that he
was p, the legal age when he paid his
first tax, would certainly make the
old an around 1870 years old.
The old man Shell is marvel c.
humanity-remarkable indeed. His
eyesight is splendid. He can see to
read the finest print without the use
Of glasses. He spends much of his
time reading the old Bible-an heir
loom Of the Shell family.
Uncle John Shell otter attends the
Did time shooting matches in the COM
nunity, carrying away many Of the
prizes, being an expert marksman,
rack shot, so to speak. He yet uses
lis old rifie-now nearly a hundred
years old, which he prizes highly.
Cuts Third Set OF Teeth
Not long ago he cut his third set
of teeth and now boasts of mouth
ful Of perfect snowwhite grinders.
He masticates his food as well as the
average man of thirty. His hearing
is good. In fact, his general condi-
tion end his mental qualities are prac-
tically as good as they ever were.
Uncle John Shell can relate with the
Utmost precision, happenings Of the
long ago Of the pioneer days, Of how
when a boy. he came over the noun
tains afoot from East Tennessee, his
birthplace.
To the correspondent Who visited
the home back on the waters of
Greasy Greek old man Shell talked
Interestingly of the days of the first
settlements of the state, Of attacks BY
the redmen-the Indian warriors;
how panthers were driven away; how
the wild bear and deer roamed at will,
how he killed three deers in a single

watch care, instead of being obligat-
ed to entrust them to the care and
protection of strangers in other cities.
The opportunity is now at hand and
the day for doing big things is here.
Let the people everywhere through
out this great county of Blount catch
the spirit Of the age and arise to the
demands of the new day in world
progress and service to mankind. Ye
men and citizens Of Blount, awake,
arise and rally to this movement.
Make the investment for cause
that is better than rubies and more
precious than fine gold. We know the
past Of this grand and glorious sec
ton of this South Land, and have
visions Of her great future. We have
been waiting and holding the ropes
and longing for this bright and glo-
rious day, when another story will be
added to this in the land we love so
well, flooded with the sunlight from
Heaven and marked with crystal
drops that fall from His chariot of
clouds. Service, unsalfish service,
living for the other fellow, is the
watchword of the New Order Of
things and when the last chapter is
written, we may see from the highest
pinnacle of this building, waving in
the air the anser inscribed "Ex-

old man Shell.
Married Three Times
Uncle John Shell has been three
times married, his last wife being
somewhere in the twenties. He is
proud of her. She calls him Mr..
Shell, and not hubby, or the old man.
II is just plain Mr. Shell,
When asked to sit for picture the
old man objected but finally gave his
consent. He posed like an adept.
The cid man insisted that his 4-year-
cid son appear with him in the pic
ture. His request was granted. He
is the father of eleven children, has
hundreds of grandchildren, large
number Of great grand children and
scores of great great grand children.
Old man Shell has always obeyed
the laws of nature, which is response
BILE for his eventful life, in fact, he
has enjoyed almost perfect health
never took a dose of doctors medi-
cine. "In most cases, doctors medi-
cine is dangerous and poison" he
said.
In his own words, II drink pure
water, breathe pure air, walk often,
sleep well, take ample exercise, use
tobacco moderately-and, best of all
] never worry. Worry will kill any
body"
''The best rule is to live right and
obey the laws of nature" continued
Mr.. Shell.
Without question Mr.. Shell is the
most remarkable man in the United
States. He is unquestionably the
oldest. He has every indication Of
living on and on even to much
greater age.
He is a great pedestrian and often
sets out and walks twenty-five miles
IN single day. He frequently walks
to Hyden, twenty-five miles and back,
in single day, this over the rough
mountain roads, He enjoys walking,
and this is one of the requisites for
his long life.-Exchang

As l see it, Maryville is rapidly

there is no other for long distance
on the East, Sout or West, and as
Blount County is extending her pixies
in all directions so that our city
with its life giving air and water will
be easy of access from all parts, a
hospital will be a great boon to any
one who by reason of disease or by
accident seeks it's care. It will also
go long way towards making Mary

county an up to date county. Then
let's build good one.
