Nashville Last Week.

Miss Thereesse Chambers, niece of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Johnson, was mar
ried in Nashville last week to Lieut..
f. 3, Underhill. After passing few
days IN Nashville the bride and groom
left in the aeroplane for the home OF
the gfoom's parents, Los Angeles,
California.
The bride has spent several sum-

and had many friends here. A few
months ago she went to Nashville
and entered ST. Thomas Hospital as
a student nurse and was serving in
that capacity when married The daily
press states that she asked to go out
to make some purchases and took
that means to meet the airman, who
took her to a minister and they were
quietly married.
Lieutenant Underhill and his COM

for about ten days a short time pre-
vious to leaving for Nashville. They
were flying Curtis training plane
and took a number of persons up at
ten dollars for ten minutes.

found guilty and according to reports
the Judge stated that that under the

year an one day in the penitentiary
and $3.50 fine However, Judge Hicks
later grated them new trial on the
grounds that the penalty was too Sc

The people of Crossvlle are finding
out that the common day laGorer can
be a profteer just as readily as the
man behind the counter. Just now
our people are paying $500 and $3.50
for what is termed a cord of wood,
which means pile four feet high,
eight feet long and as wide as the
stick is long. Some who buy claim
they lack considerable of getting even
that kind of cord Sc lc of the wood
cutters are paying dollar cord fo
hauling. That means the hauler can
make five dollars day, if he is busy.
Out of that he must feed himself ana
team and keep up all repairs. But the
men who cut the wood can readily cut
two or three cords day each, which
means they get $500 to $500 a day,
as much as the man with his team.
Such prices for those who cut WOOL
are unreasonable, since food is cheap
er and they have no investment to
speak of. On the other hand the man
who hauls has quitea SIM invested
md should have NOR s,r his labor

BIG EVENT COMING
All Selling Records to Be Shattered
By Reed Mercantile Co.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Chron
icle is carried double page advertise
ment telling of the might proht-shaf-
ing sale that begins at the Reed Mer-
camille Company, Wednesday, Janu.
AIRY 18th. and which will continue for
10 days, For many ye,rs past it has
been the custom Of Mr.. Reed to, offer
to the people OF this and surrounding
communities annually, sale that
eelipsed anything of its kind in this
section of the state. Hundreds Of
people look forward to this annual
event, for they know that it offers
a genuine opportunity to save money
on clething, shoes, cry goods, gro
ceries, notions, etc. This year Mr..
Reed personally announces that re-
gardless of how great may have been
the reductions in other sales, they
cannot begin to compare with those
he has planned for his gigantic pro-
ht-sharing sale this year. In ordeei
that this sale which begins Wednes-
day, January IL, at 9 O'Clock, will be
the biggest thing of its Kind ever at
tempted in local buying annals, the
Reed Mercantile Company, has Sc
cured the services of an eastern sales
expert who has already arrived in
Crossville and started the work of
the low-price giant.
The entire store is being literally
turned upside down, and thousands
of dollars worth of shoes, clothing,
ETC., is being piled high and marked
so low in price that other merchants
are completely awed. Many of Mr..
Reeds friends have voluntarily stat
ed that if such sale was to be at
tempted in any other store, it would |
go bankrupt. There is no doubt that |
such daring price cutting would send |
an ordinary store to the wall in only |
a few days. In Mr.. Reeds own words !
we have the story:
after several months close study
If the market, have arrived at the
conclusion that the safest and Sanest
way for me to continue to serve the
people of this section is to put my
.ntire $4,000 stock on sale for jus,
lalf of what it cost-scll it all and sell
t quick, and then go on the market
md buy another stock that will be
BILE to offer for prices that are rea-
enable and which will be almost as
ow as these that I am going to offer
uring this sale. Of course l will lose
money, but we all have to take our
Medicine now that the crisis has ar
ived and l am going to take l1ine
arly and get it over with. |,
Mr.. Miller, the sales conductor in =,
barge, announces that everythii g
ill be sold just as advertised, and
bsolutely guarantees that no matter I
ow little you may have paid for an t
rticle, you will find it here for less. |
[any big features are being planned b
nd it will be to the interest of every q
an woman and child within 50 miles G
Crossvlle to be here when the f
oors to this store are thrown open to q
lie buying public Wednesday, Janu- a
y II, at 9 a. m. sharp.

new COAL COMPANY
Wal Operate Cox Valley Property of
J. n. Findlay

A short time ago charter was OBJ
tanned for "a coal company to be
known as the Cox Valley Coal Com
pany. Those interested in the project
are ]. H. Findlay, President; N. D.
Walker Vice-President; Paul Green.
Secretary and Treasurer. N. D. Wal
ker willte in charge of the work and
direct 1t. Others interested in the
company are Cashier J. S. Reed, G. P.
Burnett, ]. w. Dorton and John Q.

The coal is of very high quality
as is shown by the following

The >very low percent of sulphur
and the high percent of carbon shows
it to be an excellent coal Cor weld
ing purposes and all kinds of black
smith work.
There is some 2soo ocres of land un-
derlaid with this vein of coal and it is
the purpose of the company to either
build a railroad to the property or
join with the Pierpont- Paxton Com
pany which has several million feet of
standing timber near ahe project. Ev-
cry effort will be made to have the
grade work on the road commenced
at the earliest possible date. The dis
tance the road will have to be built is
about four miles aud it is hoped that
the grade work ON the line will be
not later ithan April of
this year.
1t is the purpose of the company to
erect crushing plant at the mine to
crush the coal for blacksmith purpos-
es. That means that the coal will be
reduced to powder and used by |
arge corporations with blower for |
Welding purposes, which means that |!
when used the coal will be SO fine as
% be used almost as gas is used, thus
a large amount of heat |
,ery rapidly.

If the country is such that it can be

The high quality of this coal has
cen known for several years and on
ne occasion an opening was made
