WORK ON MILL TO START
Main Building Will Be 30x40 Feet
And Have Two Stories
And Basement.

The new flour mill that has been
in course of establishment for a few
weeks is now assured beyond ques-
ton as the entire $4,000 in stock
has been subscribed the charter Sc
cured and work of erecting the main
building is expected to commence
this week.
Officers have not been chosen as
yet but will be at the first meeting
of the incorporators, which is ex-
pected to be held this week.
The main building is to be 3ox4o
feet, two stories and a basement,
entirely of brick. 1t will be erect
ed just west of the T. c. Depot on
lot extending west to the Spara
road, a distance of 200 or 800 feet.
The frontage on the railroad is suf-
ficient to permit the building of an
ample warehouse, which will be
constructed at the same time the
main building is erected or very soon
thereafter.
1t is the purpose of the incorpo-
rators to do regular milling busi-
nees and also put in feed chrusher
so that our people can bring their
own grain to the mill and have it
converted into stock feed This
feature alone will prove of great
value to our farmers and others.

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY HORSE
Noah Beam, Aged "a, Living in Edge
of White County, Killed
Last Friday.

Friday, about ten o'clock, Noah
Beam. aged "a years was dragged tc
death by horse that became scared
in a storm while he was riding it. No
person saw the accident, but from all
known facts the conditions seemed to
be about as follows
The deceased had to go to field a
mile or so from his home to carry a
raincoat to his son, Fred Beam, who
was blowing. After delivering the
raincoat to his son, he started to re-
turn home by one route and his son
by another. The old gentleman was
riding a young and spirited horse.
A severe storm was coming up when
he started for home. Shortly after
his son reached home with his team
the horse his father had been riding
arrived home, riderless. The grand
son, Noah Lee Beam, put up the horse
thinking that on account of the storm
his grandfather had stopped at ,kc
home of a neighbor and let the horse
come home alone. The boy did not
notice that one stirrup was gone from
the saddle.
After the storm was over and the
old gentleman did not come home,
his son discovered that one stirrup
was gone from the saddle and feared
that some accident had befallen his
father. He went in search and found
his father dead by the side of the
road. The knees of the horse were
skinned and it is supposed that it
became frightened at lightning
fash and fell, throwing the old man
and that his foot hung in the stirrup.
Evidences we're plain in the road
that he had fallen from the horse
and been dragged I2o steps before
the stirrup leather broke releasing
him. 1t is thought that the neck
was broken. There were numerous
bruises on the head and body.
The deceased was very highly re-
yarded in his community and deepest
'egret was voiced by his neighbors
md many friends at his unfortunate
aking away. He had lived in that
ection for many years and was es-
eemed as one of the foremost cit
zens of that secion and as a fine
,hristain gentleman.

GOOD MAN PASSES TO BEYOND
Patrick L. Stone, Aged 73, Died Wed
nesday Morning-Buried
at Pomona.

! Wednesday forenoon at II o'clock
the spirit of Patrick L. Stone return
ed to the God who gave it. The flu
neral exercises were held at the res
idence, conducted by J. w. Dorton
and C.E.Snodgrass. The remains were
taken to Pomona and laid by the side
of his son, who died few years ago.
Death was due to tubercular bowel
trouble.
The deceased was born and grew to
manhood in this county and lived here
practically all his life. For several
years he conducted general store at
Grapevine, in the edge of Bledsoe
county, and later moved to Crossvile.
He passed a few months as resi-
dent of Pomona and then returned to
the county seat where he remained to
the end.
AS a man and citizen he was pos
sessed ofa most kindly nature, had a
very high apprecia ton of good citi-
zenship and love for everything
that leads to higher and nobler
life.
To his intimate friends he was
known as Uncle Pat" and no one
ever called him friend that he did
not respond in word and heart with
the same generous spirit. The writer
has known him personally for over
twenty years and during that time has
heard his name mentioned by many
people, but never heard anything ex-
cept good things said of him.
While his schooling advantages
were very poor, as they were of all
who lived in this section during his
boyhood, he had splendid mind that
had been broadened and enriched
by extensive reading of good books.
He was especially fond of reading
books of discussion on religion and
right living
Throughout his long life of over
70 years he never faltered or failed
to stand for the majestey of the law,
but he did so il that kind ard gcnl,c
manner that never offended but won
the respect of all. In spite of his kind
and gentle nature, when right was
in he balance he was firm and un-
yielding.
In his death our county loses one
Of its best and most highly respected
The writer visited him in
his last hours and found him resigned
ready and anxiouss to go to the home
that awaited him in a better cline.
He leaves a wife and several chit
Ire nalong with numerous relatives.

MORE STILLS DESTROYED
Three Men Arrested and One Bound
to Court. One Still captured
While in Operation.

Wednesday of last week Sheriff
G. w. Walker, along with Marshal
V. c. Lilies and deputies raided a
still about a mile east of Ozone and
destroyed $50 gallons of still beer,
several barrels and other still equip
ment, but no still or worm was Sc
cured. The conditions indicated that
there had been stilling going on there
for quite some time
Henry Cottrell, to whose home the
hounds trailed from the store of Mrs.
A. E. Niles, that had been robbed the
night before, was seen within about
20 yards of the still site. 1t is claim
ed that Cottrell works very little and
he is supposed to be engaged in the
illicit whiskey business. 1t is thought
he has two still sites and moves his
still from one to the other as his ma
terial gets ready for stilling. All the
beer and equipment were destroyed.
Sheriff Walker Gets Big One.
Thursday, Sheriff Walker and his
two deputies, G. A. Naming and w.
H. Parham, raided another still with
in 900 yards of the home of Mr.. Gun
ter, who lives near what is known as
the Billy Day sawmill site, near Days
vile.
Some men were s Ten working at
the still but the raiding posse did not
get close enough to positively iden-
tify more than one of them, he be-
ing Henry Cottrell, who was bound
to court, but there seems to be some
doubt that the evidence will be suf-
fcient to convict The other two
were John Scott, son of Assistant
Policeman of Crossville, Dock Scott,
and Alex Hayes. Scott and Hayes
were not tried as the evidence {
against them was admitted to be in Z;
sufficient to convict. 1t is claimed
by some that the arrest of Scott, es- '.
pecially, was done through malice, be- ,
cause Dock Scott has been instru
mental in the arrest and conviction =.
of G. A. Manning for stilling and the
government had sold his land and
he is now awaiting final action in his
case.
The still captured was the largest +,
and best equipped of any known To :.
nave been secured thus far by raiding
officers in this section. 1t consisted of !,
an all copper still of 30 or so gallons ;
capacity, copper cap, condenser and >
worm. Sheriff Walker brought it to
own and many persons viewed it :.
md all admitted that it was splen- :.
lid equipment. The worm, instead OF :.
,eing coiled was made of two copper :,
,ipes about an inch and half in di-
lmeter and some six feet long. Whis-
Key was running from the worm :,
when the officers raided the still.
Besides the still there were II bar
els of beer and mash, 50 feet of rub
er hose, used for conveying the wa
er from nearby spring to the worm, ', "
u gallons of whiskey and five sacks =. =
f meal, one sack of rye meal and
ack of malt corn The equipment =
,as estimated to be worth $500.
