DISASTROUS FIRE
AT MONTEREY
Wilder Block With Many Business
Houses Consumed BY
Confiaeratlon

At an early hour this morning, hro
broke out in the basement of ths
grocery store of Morgan Bros, At
Monterey, and within a short time.
the whole Wilder block on the main
street side was a mass of flames, and
for a time it seemed that the whole
business section Of the town was
doomed.
The flames spread quickly to the
Officer Hardware Companys big
store, then to w. A. Horns dry goods
and furnishing store, the Bank Of
Monterey, and the offices of the Pea
cock Mining Co., completely cutting
these establishments, as well as the
old part Of the Imperial Hotel on the
second floor.
The fixtures of the Bank of Mon
terey were saved, and a considerable
portion of the stocks of the Oficer
Hardware Co., and w. A. Horn. The
Fiske printing Office which is be-
tween the new parlor Of the Imperial
Hotel and the Bank of Monterey,
was damaged somewhat, but mose
Of the equipment is intact. The fire
ragged for three or four hours and had
1t not been for the heroic work OF
the citizens, the whole business SEQ
tion would have been destroyed.
The loss is estimated at SIS, 900,
with about $4,000 insurance

ADCOCK & DRAKE

Mr.. B. G. Adcock and Mr.. Jesse A
Drake have formed a partnership to
practice law. Mr.. Adcock is one OF
our oldest lawyers at our bar, and is
of recognized ability. Mr.. Drake was
born and reared in DeKalk county
and practiced law for a few years In
Smithville, and removed to Atlanta,
where he has been in the practice
of law for the past twelve years, and
while there held the position of AS
sistant United States District Attor-

in the front ranks Of their profession
in Cookeville and surrounding Coun-
ties where they propose to practice.

ments to the school plant

In the Mechanic Arts Department

direction Of the State Board, under
took to house and put into operation
equipment for the machine shop
wood shop, shoe shop, and equipment
for the teaching of auto mechanics

Education.
The unfinished wing OF the me-
chanic arts building was completed
by laying a concrete floor, by ceiling
with metal siding, and by strengthen
ing the overhead structure for the
support of heavy shaftIng.
A building 80 40 feet was erected
for the forge work and auto mechan-
les A power house 16 K 40 feet was
erected and a concrete foundation
laid for the support of the large
engine and generator, which has been
installed for furnishing power and
lights. Machinery valued at approxl-
mately $4,000 was unloaded from
cars, transported to the building,
unloaded, and installed by the stu
dents OF the school.
All Of this equipment is now run.
ming on a full time schedule, and stu.
dents are being given instruction in
its care and operation.
Agriculture Department
The Agriculture Department has
under development plans and i'm
provements which when completed
will make that department one of
the most up to date in the State. The
department is making a specially of
dairying, and equipment is being in
stalled in the new dairy barn for
thorough instruction in dairying. A
herd Of registered Jersey cows has

bred poultry and elaborate prepare
tions are being made for instruction
in the propagation and marketing Of
poultry and poultry products.
The school has developed a small
fruit farm in which several varieties
of grapes. strawberries, cherries
peaches, and apples will b., produced
A system of cooperation is being
outlined by which the farm can sup
ply the dining hall with fruit, vege.
tables, meat, milk, and butter, in
abundance.
Rehabilitation Department
All Of the improvements enumer-
ated above, and many others yet to
be developed, are at the disposal OF
the rehabilitation department, made
up Of ex-service men wounded in the
world war. This department has
grown from an enrolment of Is men
on October 1st, to 275 men at the
present time, and in addition to the
before named equipment, complete
commercial department has been or
ganized and equipped with the very
best furniture, new typewriters,
modern posting machine, adding ma
chimes, and calculating machines Of
the latest type.
These men are also given instruc-
tion in linotyping at the local print
ing Office. until permanent equip
ment may be received from the Fed
eral Board.
With this record Of achievements
covering the short space OF twelve
months, authorities of the school and
the people throughout this section
of the state are optimistic over future
development. And with the whole
some relation which exists between
the school officials and the citizen
ship Of Cookeville, the brightest pros
poets seem to be lying ahead, and
with the continued cooperation and
hearty support which has been given,
the success of the institution is guar.
anteed for the coming year.
The program of expansion provid.
ed for in the recent legislature favor.
ing the institution makes possible a
broader curriculum, more extensive
more class rooms and
more dormitory room. However. it
is not expected that the present ap-
will meet the needs but
will be only temporary relief. This
Is only an indication of the fact that
the school is partially meeting the
demands for vocational education and
hat it's development into one OF the
greatest institutions in the South is

YOUNG SCHOOL
GIRL ATTACKED
BY UNKNOWN MAN WHILE ON
ROAD TO SCHOOL

Onie Mai Thompson, the twelve
year old daughter of Dillard Thoanp-
son, who lives about ten miles
north OF Cookeville, in Overton coun-
ty, was attacked by an unknown
white man about eight o'clock Mon
day morning while on her way to
school, at Hardy's Chapel.
Accordin to the little girls story.
lhe man sprang from the bushes ON
the side of the road, grabbing her by
the arm and making an attempt to
drag her back into the woods and
asked her to 60 with him to some
house nearby. She cried out for her
brother who was some distance ahead
but could not make him hear. On her
refusal to go with him, the man drew
his knife and began cutting her hair
whoch was in a long plat, and in
the struggle to free herself, she sus-
tanned two or three cuts on the LETT
wrist, presumably in trying to pro-
tect her hair from the ru ans knife.
She escaped from his clutches and
ran for short distance up the road
then she turned and ran down the
road, when some OF her school mates
came in sight, the man leaped a
fence and made his getaway through
the woods. When he had slashed the
little girls hair on. he threw 1t over
the fence from where the struggle
took place, and the hair was found
by some Of the neighbors in the
afternoon. The little girl was not
seriously hurt, but was greatly fright
ened. She ran to her grandmother's
home which was about quarter Of
a mile down the road.
#. d. Gragg, the girls grandfather
Immediately got into communication
with Joe Maddux at Buffalo Valley.
and. had him come up with his blood
hounds. Maddux arrived on the
scene Of the assault about Q p. m, and
with the assistance of several on
GERS, begun to work on the trail. On
the following morning one or two ar
rests we're made, but the parties prov
cd their whereabouts at the time of
The assault and were released by the
officers.
The whole community was greatly
excited over the affair and great In
lignation was expressed on all sides.
Should the man be found who COM
nitted the act, there is no question
,ut that he will be given punishment
% the fullest extent of the law.

THE KEY THAT UNLOcKs THE
DOOR TO LONG LIVING

The men OF eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, man past middle
age will occasionally eat too much
or of some article OF food not suiter
to his constitution, causing indiges-

REHABILITATION
REGIONAL SCHOOLS

NO one should De disturbed by
report from Washington to the effect
that the new Director of the Vete
ran Service Bureau will make an ef
fort to establish four regional Uni
versities fort the training of ex
service men.
The idea of utilizing army canton
ments for this purpose is not a new
one. 1t has been under consideration
from time to time since cantonments
were emptied soon after signing the
Armistice, but the plan has been
generally considered up to this time
as not workable. It has been thought
that the trainee will be naturally dis.
inclined to return for an extended Pc
riod to the scene of his army expert
sences.
Before the regional Vocational Uni
versities are made going institutions,
many problems will have to be solv-
ed.
Equipment for power houses, shops,
garages, etc, will have to be provid-
ed. Agricultural lands, equipment,
live stock, ETC., for the teaching Of
practical agriculture and allied sub
jects will have to be secured. A
y school atmosphere cannot be Great
!. ed in a day. Many other obstacles
e. will interpose themselves as the
: enterprise develops.
Supposing, however, that the plan
can be successfully carried out as
proposed, the eight thousand train
ees to be taken care of in these four
, proposed institutions will be only
negligible part of the ninety-four
thousand men who are either at pres
, ent in training or eligible therefor,
not to mention the thousand yet to
/. establish their eligibility for train
ing.
The proposed institutions will do
well II they absorb any substantial
number Of the men who come into
training in the normal process of in
duction.
As the number to be handled by
these institutions will be drawn from
the United States at large, the local
institutions should feel no effect of
this new turn in the Rehabilitation
program.
The very fact that the government
has proposed to establish four great
institutions of learning to help handle
a small part Of the Rehabilitation
work is ample proof that the govern
ment regards the program as long
drawn out one.
Those who contemplate building at
Cookevile should feel assured that
the Rehabilitation work at this place
will be in progress for many years,
of the town will do everything in it's
power to accommodate the tra1nees
who are directed to this center.
The program as carried out thus
far is highly satisfactory to the au-
thorities and all concerned should !!
take courage and go forward with re-
newed energy and enthusiasm.
