NOW
OUR THIRD CITY

Knoxville is now the third city In
size in the state, so the 1890 census
statistics show, and has shown the
largest percent of growth in the dec
ade of any city, whose census has
thus far been announced. The re-
turns give the city population Of
77,s1S, an increase Of 41,471, or
114.1 percent over 1910. This puts
Knoxville some little ahead of Chat
tanooga, with her 1920 population of
57,s95, only a 29.s percent increase.
Annexation of additional territory
and industrial. expansion have been
found to be the causes of Knoxvil1e's
big gain.

cases in the next generation. The
City and County Boards have worked
together in the mild epidemic. i
wish to state here, all the members
of the County Board are standing be-
hind me and if anyone does not ap-
prove of our action, do not censure
Judge Spaulding or Mr.. Dale, for
they look to me to study the condit-
ions of the county and after l take
up the matter in detail with them,
they have said to me: we are with
you and we think you know what
is best to do. / know many out=
siders are against the Board, because
they do not know the facts in the
case and when all things come to
them in their true form, all the peo-
pie win say: "We are with the Coun-
ty Board of HEALTH" for it must be
taken into consideration many and all
things before making cumpulsory or
ders. | have served you eleven CID
years, this is the first time the Board
has ever been forced into hearing
of any bill.
FIRST am going to protect the
health of all the people with as little
suffering as possible.
SECOND am not going to be
party to any measure that will
make the taxpayers of Paris and
Henry County spend hard earned
cash to satisfy one member on City
Board, and a few people he may bt
following, and furthermore, l am not
going to be dictated to by few wht
say "we will not be vaccinated, o.
obey the Board unless you vaccinat'
six or seven thousand people,"
wish to say in conclusion, the Count.
Board has not had any friction ant
also state all members on City Boar'
are with me except one member.
The good people of Paris am
Henry County will know in time
stand for the full discharge of m
duty without fear or favor to an
man or class Of men, and will cor
tinue to discharge my duties afte

WHO WANTS THE JOB
OF JUSTICE OF PEACE
IN ALABAMA, ANYHOW? +?

Nobody wants to be a justice of
peace or a constable in Madison coun-
ty, Ala, it seems, as there is not a
candidate announced in any but one
of the twenty-five precincts. It is
fair to assume that such would be
never be the case in Henry County,
Tennessee, where particularly the
justice of peace is an Office that would
not go begging.
