GALES X Los NINos

Interesante y enthusiastic fue ia para.
da celebrada ell viernes dia rueve por
las GALES de Ciales.
Unos ochocientos alumncs de las es-
cuelas graduadas desflaban por elias
ondeando banderitas americana.

nifios de edad escolar. Algunos carteles
llevados por nifios de grades altos, os-
tentaban en- inscripciones las principa-
les necesidades de la escuela. de los

No cabe duda que la mayoria de los
padres laboraran por complacer 10 que
pedian sus hijos: un edificio mas gran
de donde puedan asistir todos los nj
nos de este pueblo recibir el pan de
la instruction; mas maestros; una ban
da escolar mas completa y una biblio
teca, signo de cultura de un pueblo y
de una escrela donde ellos puedan am
Pillar sus conocimientos.
Durante toda la semana Ia escuela
s'Forace Mann ha sido visitada por
infnidad de padres. Ellos iban ancio-
SOS de yer Ell progreso de sus hijos. Los
padres cialefios Sc dan cuenta de que
la cultura de I'm pueblo depende de la
cscuela y por ESQ vemos que cada dia
tienen mas interes por todo IL que Sc
1efiere ella a los nifios.
Ell viernes por La tarde la escuela es-
taba atestada de padres, maestros y
nifos. Ell Lcdo. Escalona, juez de Cia-
les. don Juan Ortiz y Mr.. Black pro-
nunciaron discursos elocuentes. Sus pa
labras nenaron de patriotismo, amor a

ing and giving short synopsis of the
history of the lodge, introduced Bro,
A. R. Gross the Grand Master of
Tennessee l. o. o. F., who proceeded
to make an impromptu heart to heart
talk for more than thirty minutes
which was very interesting and we'll

short talks, and all referred to the
Grand Masters splendid talk, each
having more or less to say of the or
ders' greatest asset, the 1. o. o. F..
Home which is doing such great
and grand work In educating and pre-
pairing its 200 inmates caring for
themselves after their age limit at
the Home = Our six wards In the

tions from Section A to Section B In

pecially applies to pupils who have

communities should enter promptly
at the beginning of the Second Term
SO that they may be classified to
better advantage.

T.P.I. CLEE CLUB
ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given at the
city school auditorium last Friday
evening, Dec. 10th, by the Boys and
Girls Glee Clubs of the T. P. l. was
one of the very best of its kind ever
produced in Cookeville, and was at
tended by a large and appreciative
audience of Cookeville's music lovers.
Each number on the program was
a feature within itself, and there was
an abundance of evidence of the APP
probation of the listeners, for every
number was encored. The choruses
were splendidly rendered and most
enthusiastically received as were the
quartettes, duets, solos, and readings.
Mr.. Charles McClannahan, the d.
rector, is to be congratulated on this
the first appearance of his Glee Club
singers, who have made such won
derful impression that their future
success as musical entertainers is
freely predicted by those who really
know good music when they hear it.
The people Of Cookeville should
indeed be proud Of this aggregation
of singers and encourage them to
continue the cultivation of their ex-
traordinary talents along this line.
The T. p. I. Boys Glee Club will
make "a tour of neighboring towns
during the second semester, and it
should be a source Of pride to all
Cookeville people to know that our
local state institution Is furnishing
high class entertainment, which is
as a matter of fact an innovation in
this section of the state. II the in
itial performance is to be taken as
criterion, the success of the Club is
already assured.

STATE WIDE
DEMOCRATIC RALLY

Uuder a call of ]. Nelson Fisher,
Chairman, the Democratic Executive
Committee of Tennessee will meet at
Nashville on Wednesday, December
2S at 10 A. M. and that evening at
1880 P. M. a banquet will be served in
honor and appreciation of Hon. Cor
dell Hull who has recently been elec-
ted as National Chairman of the Dem
ocratic party. Every Democrat In
Tennessee is invited to this banquet
and every one who possibly can,
should avail themselves of the privi-
lege of doing honor to our own great
Tennessean. 1t is a great recognition
of the ability and wisdom of Judge
Hull to be selected to such an impor-
tant position, the very head of the
Democratic Party of the Nation, the
party that is cherished to reas-
sufhe the reign of government fast as
the reign of government as fast as
elections are held and to redeem the
people from the misrule of the Re-
publicans.. We who knew Judge Hull
up here; In the moutains find that he
is the man for the place and when
the banquet is spread, when Demo-
Gratis from all parts of the state are
assembled around the festive board
ON the 2Sth, the Fourth Dist; will be
well represented.
All ex-governors, congressman, and
United States senators have been i'm
sited and are expected to be present.
Distinguished speakers from all
over the ssate have accepted the in
vitations to be present and lend their
voice to the occasion.
Hill McAlister, Chairman of the
Committee on Arrangement says
that this banquet and rally is not to
be an incubator for any candidate
for governor. but is 70 be simply and
truly for the purpose Of doing honor
to our beloved Tennessean who has
been so signally honored by the
Democrats Of the Nation and for the
additional purpose of getting together
in good old-fashioned love feast
without any idea of promoting any
individual or faction.
Get together, Democrats, for your
time Is at hand. The Republicans
have made a complete failure and all
we need to do is to show forth our
solid strength until the coming elec-
tiou.
Remember the date. Wednesday,
Dec. 2Sth, 1921. at the Hermitage Ho-

BURGESS FALLS
POWER PLANT

The city's new power and light
plant, which is just being completed
at Burgess Falls will not only be a
source of pride for the people of
Cookeville as the owners thereof,
but it will be an asset of which a
town of 10000 inhabitants would be
justly proud. 1t is doubtless worth to-
day twice the amount of money which.
has been expended in the purchase of
the site apd the construction of the
plant. The dam has been erected on
the unit plan and can be added to at
any time the requirements of the
city may demand, and at a nominal
cost. The equipment has practically
been installed and the line can be
finished within a few days, and but
for one hindrance, current from the
new plant might be utilized during
the coming holidays, and that is that
few feet Of the piping shipped has
been condemned, or not found to be
according to specifications, and this
part has been re-ordered but will
possibly not get here before the first
OF January, as it has to be shipped
from the East and may be delaeyd
in transit during the rush of holiday
transportation.
The City Commission is to be con.
graduated on the completion Of the
Burgess Falls plant through their
own direct supervision, thereby saw
ing to the taxpayers of Cookeville =
sum of money, and at
the same time satisfying themselves
that the work is thoroughly done.
When the plant is thoroughly tried
out by competent men, there should
and will be no question as to~its D3f-
and the cost for maintains
ing and operating the plant will a1e
comparatively small. The future
growth of the town has been taken
into consideration in its construction.

mission should be appreciated by our

NEW CITY SCHOOL BUILDING


We are reliably informed that with
the exception of few details the me-
gotiations for the sale of the City
School bonds are now complete and
that we may confidently expect to
see modern school building con-
structed and equipped within the
next year in Cookeyille. The bonds
will bring par value, and a sufficient
amount will be realized to insure the
construction of building to meet
the present and future needs Of a
growing town such as Cookeville is.
We do not know of anything more
urgently needed than a up to date
school buildig in Cookeville and when
Completed its far reaching benefits
cannot be estimated. The City Com
mission is working hard on the con-
summation of the deal for the sale
of the bonds, plans, etc, for the
building.

A CHRISTMAS SERMON
By GEO. .GoWEN

, born in Bethlehem, but "his goings
forth have been from old, from ever
lasting" He was Graded in a man
ger, but then his Star irradiated q
wondering world. The stupid cattle
stood listless around his humble
couch, but all the host of heaven
poured forth to chant the birth-song
of the lowly babe. Herod sought to
shed his blood, but minister's of God
gave timely warnings and protected
him from harm. He was tempted in
all points like as we are, yet he was
victor In every conflict He knew
want and exposure and sore trial, but
at last Satan fled at his rebuke and
angels came at his call to minister
to his needs. He sat thirsty and
faint at Sqmaria's well, but yet he
gave the wicked woman who resort
ed thither, the living water that
springeth up unto everlasting life"
In his wearinesA he slept on the pi-
lots pillow in storm.tossed boat
ON the lax e Of Galilee; yet in his
divine strength he arose and rebuked
the wind and Gained the billows with
word. He needed bread as we need
bread, yet the five loaves divided be-
meath his hand, fed the thousands
who followed his footsteps and listen
ed TO his word. He wept at Lazarus
grave as We weep beside the tombs
of those we love; but there and then,
at the bidding of his word the dead
came forth again to life and joy. He
suffered ON the cross between two
thieves, and although dying, his
almighty word spoke salvation to the
expiring robber. His sorrow clothed
the skies In blackness; and his dy-
ing wall smOte the heart of nature,
and burst the graves, rent the rocks
and shook the solid ground. The
malefactor Knocked him, and the
pharisees taunted him and "wagged
their heads; but the mourning null
titude smote with sorrow on their
breasts, and the hard centurion cried
out: Truly this was the Son of
God He died and was laid in a
strangers tamb; but he conquered
death, and rose by the power Of an
endless life, and, sits today enthroned
in glory at Gods right hand.
An untaught child-the doctors in
all the universities of the world to-
day are astonished at his questions
and his wisdom. A carpenter-men
everywhere still wonder at his "gra-
cious words" A toiling nazarene-
yet still they say, Never man spake
like this man." Unschooled by the
rabbis and philosophers--'in him
were hid all the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge" Touched with the
feeling of our infrmities" is
ret strong to redeem and mighty to
save" He had power to lay down |
lis life and power to take it again;
Ind while sinful men deny, deride and
'corn the crucified Nazarene, our
ace gazes gladly on the sleeping |
,abe and the risen Christ, and with
believing Thomas we exclaim, "MY
ORD, AND MY GOD"
