shock of the blast was felt distinctly
in all parts of Fayette county and
at Oakland those who were awake at
the time state they were under the
impression from the rumbling noise
that thunder storm was about to
break.

RAISE FOR TEACHERS URGED
Representatives of 9 Eastern States
Say Crisis Has Come.

Material increases in teachers sal
aries was urged at New York City last
Tuesday in program formulated by

and threatens to close more.
"The public schools of the nation
are facing critical situation" says
the program. 'In the States Of the
Atlantic seaboard hundreds of public
schools are closed because teachers are
not available for them.
Education must have at once the
serious consideration and attention of
all citizens, to the end that the COM
pensation of teachers be established
on such a plane as will attract and
hold them as such"
The program was signed by the fol-
lowing: ~
Augustus o. Thomas, State superin-
tendent of schools, Maine; Payson
Smith commissioner of education, Mas
sachusetts; E. W. Butterseld, COM
missioner of education, New Hamp-

FRIENDSYILLE CHURCH BURNED
Was Destroyed on Friday Evening of
Last Week Entailing Loss of $4,000

Was Destroyed on Friday Evening of
Last Week Entailing Loss of $4,000
Last Friday evening just before the
hour for services in the Friendsville
Methodist Episcopal church, the edifce
was discovered to be on fire and was
totally destroyed, Notwithstanding the
heroic work of the citizens of the town
to prevent it.
For some weeks past revival meet
ing, with services each night, had been
going on in the church, which was be-
ing conducted by the Rev. Mr.. john
son and upon Friday, the night being
quite cold, an effort was made to have
the building comfortable for the wor-
shippers when they should arrive, with
the result that an overheated furnace
pipe communicated fire to the timbers
of the floor and when discovered the
flames had made much Roadway and
nothing could be done to save it.
The church was a very comforta-
Bile structure, having been erected
some twenty years ago at an expense
Of nearly $4,000. Today, with the in
creased cost of labor and material, it
is doubtful if it can be replaced for
less than double the sum of its origi-
nal COST

Maury County
Foxes Shipped
Into The South

The fox business in Maury county
appears to be most prosperous one
at present. Within the past few
months Hon T. L. Lipscomb has ship
ped TO Southern states foxes and dogs
to the amount OF $500. In addition to
these shipments by Mr.. Lipscomb,
Mayor W. O. Cherry has engaged in
the business of, shipping foxes to the
lovers of the sport in the South, and
at present has orders for more than
he can supply The mayor is buying
both red and greys and shipping them
as soon as they are received, to be
planted by sportsmen of the several
states Of the South. Probably the
greatest number of orders come from
mississippi and Alabama
At the present rate of expectation
from the county, Maury should soon
be depleted of Sly Reynards, but those
buying say the supply appears to be
almost inexhaustible, and they d , not
think that there is any danger of
FOX shortage in the county.
