new BAKERY FOR
COOKEVILLE

Chas. D. Kinds left Tuesday for
Lebanon, Nashville, and probably will
go to Knoxville before his return,
as he is on the lookout for first-class
baker to take charge of new bak-
cry which he expects to open up here
within the next two or three weeks.
Mr. Kinds informs the Herald that
he is going to install bakery capa-
BILE of taking care Of the needs of the
town. He has two or three sites in
view, any one Of which he can Sc
cure, and this matter he will decide
on when he returns.
There is no town in the country in
more urgent need Of a good up-to-
date bakery than Cookeville, and
there is no question but that it can
be made a good business proposition
from the start. Just how we have
gotten along for the past three years
without bakery 1t is hard to tell. A
good bakery will prove a good propo-
sition for the people and for the own.

dist. CONFERENCE
OF M. E. CHURCH
Held A Most Interesting Four
Day Session At
Crossville

The District Conference of the new
Cookeville district of the Tennessee
Conference of the M. E. Church
South, held at Crossville last week
from the 10th to the 18th inclusive
was pronounced by those who attend
ed as being one of the most interest
ing events of the kind ever held in
this section of the state. Pastors
and delegates from the counties OF
White, Overton, Clay, Pickett, Fent
ress, Cumberland, and Putnam, were
in attendance, and a more genuine
spirit of harmony than prevailed
among them would indeed be hard to
find, and there is no question but
that great good will be the result OF
the meeting of this great body Oh
Christian workers.
Rev. w. H. Beasley, presided at all
the meetings of tn conference, win
ming many admirers by the pleasing
manner in which he dispatched bust
ness. The meetings were punctuated
throughout with most interesting and
instructive addresses delivered by
pastors of the several charges in the
Cookeville district, besides three
masterful sermons delivered by DR.
w. F. Tillett of Vanderbilt University
who is one Of the NOSE beloved min
listers in Southern Methodism.
The good people of Crossville Ger
tainly did themselves proud in the
matter of entertaining the delegates
for more genuine hospitality could
not have been accorded any set OF
people anywhere than that received al
their hands. The homes of the
town were thrown open and there
was an atmosphere of welcome in
every nook and corner or this beau
tiful little city of the Cumberlands
which bids fair to be one of the edu
cational centers of the state in a few
years. The Mountain school which
will in a few months be inaugurated
within two miles of the town, will be
one of the very best in the state, and
will fill long felt need by supplying
educational facilities within the reach
of so many young people, some of
whom could not receive these bene.
fits If the school was located in some
distant part of the state. The school
site, which comprises 420 acres OF
Cumberland mountains finest land, is
an ideal one for the purpose, as it is
bounded by two great highways, and
has within it's borders the Tennessee
Central Railway, and two branches
of Obed river. This valuable body of
land was donated by the good citizens
of Crossville and vicinity to the M.
p. Church, South, and besides this,
they have donated most freely to the
educational fund which will be used
in building and equipping the school,.
There is no town in Tennessee with a
more progressive citizenship than
is to be found in Crossville, and her
people deserve and intend to have as
good school as can be found in the
state
At the request of the Presiding Ell.
der, the place for the next conference
for the district was left open.

REVIVAL AT MONTEREY

A most successful two-week's re-
vival was held at the Methodist
church at Monterey, last Sunday be-
ing the closing day Of the meeting,
which was conducted by Rev. Simon
NJ Dnsor Of Livingston, and Rev. J.
A. Allison, pastor of the church. The
meeting resulted in more than ~
conversions, and a general revival
among the Christian people Of the
town. On Sunday the last day Of
the meeting, the pastor filled the pull
pit at Livingston. while Bro. Ensor
conducted the services, holding a
mems service in the afternoon at
which number of men gave their
hearts to Christ. Taking II rs q
whole tbs meeting was one OF the
best ever held ut Monterey.

PRELIMINARY
TRIAL FOR ARSON
PRESLEY Brothers Bound Over
To Criminal Court On
Serious Charge

The preliminary trial of Henry and
Luke Pressly, accused of burning the
residence of Joe Darlington, in the
18th district, was held before Justice
j. H. Hodge, Tuesday, and both men
were bound over to criminal court
under a bond of three thousand dol
lars.
This case has attracted considerable
attention, and there was a good crowd
in the court hoom to hear the trial.
orneys E. H. Boyd and John Tuck
or represented the defendants, while
Attorney o. X. Holiday represented
the state. There was large num-
ber of witnesses summoned, but all
of them were not used at the hear
ing. The defense did not put on any
witnesses, except as to character of
the defendants.

practically new, was dstroped by fire

ing apparently from the outside,
while the family were all engaged at
work in a field some distance from
the house. Suspecting that his
house had been set fire, he had tele-
phone message sent to Joe Maddux
at Buffalo Valley to come up and
bring his blood hounds. Mr.. Maddux
arrived about eleven o'clock that
might, and the dogs Immediately
struck a trail which led them to the
home of the two Pressly men, about
three quarters of mile away. Ac-
cording to the evidence produced by
the state, the Pressly men were
found up and dressed, with a dim
light burning in the house. They
were taken to the scene of the fire
and closely questioned by Maddux
and others an dfinally admitted that
Henry Pressly set fire to the house,
while Luke remained on the side of
the hill, short distance away and
watched. The men were not arrest
ed that night, but were allowed to re-
turn to their home, and the matter
was placed in the hands of the State
Fire Marshall, who later had them
arrested on the charge OF arson. The
witnesses introduced by the state
were Joe and Arch Darlington,
Cooney Thompson, Joe Maddux, Ce-
Gil Brown, Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Jones,
all of whom testifid to hearing some
part of the confession Of the men that
they had burned the house.
Henry and Luke Pressly are both
men past middle age, and have always
been regarded as weak minded, but
have attended to their own affairs,
and managed to get aong very we'll.
This is the first time they have ever
been accused Of anything of this
character. They recently lost law
suit to Joe Darlington and the pre-
sumption is that they decided to get
their revenge in this way. Both OF
the men entered plea of not guilty
as charged, but neither of them made
a statement at the trial

CAPT. JNO. SQUARES
PASSES AWAY
AT His Home On East Broad St.
Saturday Afternoon
June 18th

Cookeville lost one of her oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens,
son last Saturday afternoon, about
five O'Clock, when Capt. John S.
Quarles passed away at his home on
East Broad st.
Capt. Quarles had been in failing
health for some years, but was able
to walk up town and take his usuar
exercise up to month ago, but since
then he had been gradually growing
weaker. The sad news of his de-
mise was received with feeling of
genuine regret by his many friends
and relatives in this and adjoining
counties, for he was widely known
and admired by large circle. The
funeral services were conducted at
the residence by Rev. A. ]. Collie and
attended by large and representa-
tive body of friends and relatives of
the deceased. The remains were
inferred in the city cemetery at four
" ClOCh 0uuuoy oIeOAh AhoSsA'
Capt. Quarles was SO years of age
and had spent his entire life In
Jackson and Putnam counties, with
the exception of the four years spent
in the service Of the Southern Con-,
federacy. He had been resident OF
: Cookeville for the past Is years, hav.
ing moved here from Gainesboro, his
native town. He was married in 1875
to Miss Fannie Dewitt of Gainesboro,
who died several years ago. He is
survived by three sons, John s., ana
Capt. James T. Quarles of Cooke
vile and Luke G. Quarles of Gaines
foro; also by two sisters, Mrs. l.. T.
Robinson and Miss Susan Quarles,
both of whom made their home with
him, as did Miss Annie Trigg Robin
son, his niece.
Capt. Quarles enlisted as a private
in the 8th Tennessee Infantry of the
Confederate army, April Oath, 1861,
and was paroled at Washington, Ca,
four years and sixteen days later. He
was promoted to the Office of lieu
tenant sooo after his enlistment, and
after the battle of Murfreesboro, IN
which engagement he received eleven
wounds, was promoted 70 the rank OF
captain. He was in Johnston's Di-
vision, under the direct command of
Gen. Cheatham of Nashville, and
when this division surrendered, he
with number of others were allow
ed the option of surrendering, on
transferring to Gen. Dibrell's COM
mand for the purpose of escorting
President Jefferson Davis to the
Mexican border, and he chose the
latter. He refused the parole offer
ed him at Washington, Ca, in 1864,
until ha and his comrades in arms
were allowed to retain their equip
ment. He loved the South and the
cause for which he fought and a
more valiant soldier, nor more mod
est one, ever marched to battle. He
will be greatly missed in his COM
munity, and will long be remembered
for the gallant part he played in his
country's history during the dark
days Of the Sixties. He was a kind
and loving father and a real friend
to all with whom he came in contact.
