Denver, Col, September az, 1921.
Dear Editor The Chronicle: AS
we have just received copy of the
dear old home paper, will say that
we enjoyed it SO much, and / can't
resist writing just a few words to
express our thanks to the sender Of
The Chronicle. 1t was very kind
of you to remember us SO far away
We have received number of
letters of inquiry about Denver
and Colorado in general, and will
adopt this method of replying.
Denver is the industrial center of
the West. 1t is the youngest of
the country's large cities and it's
1920 population was 256,369.
Denver is a progressive city, fa-
nous for it's many parks, civic
center. More departments of the
United, States Government are 10,
Gated here than in any city outside
of Washington, d. G. It is the
site of United States Mint, a large
army hospital, the army's newest
institution for the care of sick SOL
diers, which cost $5,000,000, and
includes 100 buildings. It's public
school system is of the highest
standing. A recent census showed
317 churches in Denver. The city
has no slums. 1t has long been
known as a health resort, and has
a. right to the name. 1t has excel
lent sanitariums and hospitals. Is
called the mile high city, it's alti-
tude being just one mile above the
level of the sea. It is situated IA
miles from the range of the Rocky
Mountains.

er in winter; cold nights the year
round.
There is sunshine in Denver
296 days of the year. Workers and.
laborers are inspired by its oppor-
tunities to own their own homes.
Pleasant living conditions make
them permanent, contented work
men.
We have each year thousands of
tourists from every State in the
Union. We can go to the noun
tains in a very short time by troll
ly. I have visited Buffalo Bills
grave several times. It is on the
summit of Mount Lookout.

Manitau last week. Went up
three miles on Pixies Peak. We

This has been a great year for

The sugar campaign has opened

A WARNING.

Just at this season of the year !
when the schools are in progress,
every possible care should be exer.
cised by our County Board of
Health in safeguarding the gener-
al public. The State Board of
Health advises us that diptheria,
and scarlet fever are prevalent in
Tennessee. We published an arti-
Gle last week on diptheria. The
same advice should be followed
where scarlet fever makes its ap-
pearance.

AROUND TOWN
...BY OBSERVER.


tricts and those of the towns in past
generations is rapidly becoming
thing of the past is apparent. The
great world war was a prime factor
in this respect. The young man.
hood of the Nation were thrown to-
gether in camp, on the high seas,.
in the trenches, on the firing line,
in the charge, in the rescue. Our
boys from the rural districts, from
the towns and from the cities stood
shoulder to shoulder as they form
ed strong line of defence against
the arch enemy of liberty. The
old social barrier gave way as they
learned to know each other better.
New ties of friendship were form
ed that will live forever.
The fading of this old barrier
from local standpoint wss clearly
demonstrated during the recent
tent meeting in Camden when the
out-of-town people were received
with open arms and made to feel
welcome.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Camden is doing
much to bring about such very
desirable consummation. These
good women of the town secured
and furnished a restroom at the
court house. Such an arrange
ment has added much to the COM
fort of other women while they are
in town. 1t is here they come in
contact with women of the town.
Acquaintances are formed. The
women from the farm are finding
that the women of the town are
good people to know and the town
women are beginning to feel the
same way about the women from
the country.
And 80 the old line that has ex-
listed so long is being rubbed out
and in it's place a spirit of UNDER
standing and helpfulness is SPRING
ing up, which is one of the hopeful
signs of the times. 1t means, too,
a happier and more contented
womanhood in Benton County.
When it was proposed to build
what is termed the Memphis-to-
Bristol Highway, the plan was rid
iculed by some of our citizens, who
regarded the idea as visionary
"It will never be built" says one.
"It will never come through Ben
ton County" and "I'll believe it
when [ see it," said others.
Ii you are still inclined to be
skeptical go and take a peek and
see for yourself just what is being
done between Camden and Ten
nessee River on what is known as
Federal Aid Project No, 8, where
the State and Federal Government
will expend nearly 100000 on high
way construction.
Beginning at the culvert on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway near the home of
Drew White (the Daniel Holland
place. new highway has been
opened to the old gravel pit and is
graded part way. "A, steam shovel
is in operation at the pit, cutting
down the obstruction there, and
the gravel (Camden chert) thus
removed is being spread east of
Bivens' Hill, where the contractors
are doing fine work. A concrete
culvert will span the dell east of
the pit. When, completed the new
highway will be almost straight
line from Bivens' Hill to the rail-
way culvert.
Coming east from Huntingdon
the highway is completed to Ros-
ser. A short gap exists in Hum
phreys County. The gap between

Hunters green is one of the autumn
colors. Charming in itself, but too vivid
for many types. However, here in the
sketch is a fascinating evening frock Of
hunters green velvet, trimmed with
strands and strands Of pearls. There are
three very striking style notes. besides
the color which l especially want you
to notice.
First, while the belt line Is apparently
placed at the normal waist, still the lines
Of the frock, as a whole. follow the
straight, ungirdle effect.
The French women, you know, are
wearing either no corsets or just an
apology for one. giving a svelte, sinuous-
ness to the figure, provided, of course,
that you are slim enough.
Then there is the combination Of sleeve
and train, which falls from either shoulder
and is really neither sleeve no train, but
long. straight, square ended piece of
velvet. In so many Of the new frocks the
sleeve terminates in or supports a side
train.
And with the side train goes a skirt
that is a marked example Of the uneven
hem line, combined with the longer tend
ency of skirts. 1t hangs open in a
point at the front almost to the knees
draping down to ankle length at the
sides and back. Ths skirt is further
draped up about the hips and caught at
either side of the pearl and gold girdle
ornament with loose points of the vel
vet.
From this ornament fall strings Of
pearls, weighted with huge mock acqua-
marines, while other strings are caught
on and drape down from the shoulders.
The frock Is much more decollete in
the back and untrimmed. depending on
the richness Of the fabric alone.
