The Devil and Tom Walker.

Faust sold his soul TO the Devil in
exchange for renewed youth Ponce
de Leon sacrificed his life in search
of this wonderful fountain. Wash
ton Irving has told in language both
interesting and instructive how Tom
Walker traded his soul TO the Devil
for worldly riches. Toms wife, Mar
tina, however, tried to drive a harder
bargain and when the Devil would
not agree tried to scratch his eyes out
In this she was not SO successful as
she had always been with Tom and
after her fray with his Satanic Maj
esty the only thing left to indicate her
fate was her heart hanging to the branch
of tree.
Tom Walker, of course, is dead but
"his spirit goes marching on" Thou
sands of people are constantly trading
their souls for money, and many other
thousands are bartering not only their
souls but their lives also, for a fleeting
hour or JOY. Life, health and rep
utation weigh but lightly in the bal
ance against things which are sordid
and repulsive.
Many persons appear to dress solely
for the purpose of attracting the at
tention and arousing the curiosity OF
men. Our dance halls where the tender
touch, the close embrace and every rhy-
thmic motion of the body tends to de-
stroy modesty and arouse all that is
sensuous within us, cost a price in the
end which few are prepared TO pay. In
the darkness of the moving picture the
atre often darker plans are laid. and the
harmless auto converted into a den of
i'll fame.
All which prepares its victims for
the final deal, like Faust and Tom
Walker, we find that the Devil cannot
DC cheated out of his pay. 1t must be

Shall l Know My Loved Ones
In Heaven

Do you know your flowers after God
has raised them from the dead? They
don't look like they did when you buried
them. You buried il little homely
nut-brown bulb, il has had a resur-
rection. God has touched it; now it
stands a bright and fragrant beauty
And you say, "My hyacinth is in lovely
/ bloom" You buried it dShonor.
God has raised it in glory "He giveth
it body; and 10 every seed its own
body" This is the resurrection body
of your flower; and yet you recognized
/ i. when you saw il.
/ Thus we carry our loved ones to the
/ cemetery and Law them in the ground.
Earth no earth; ashes TO ashes; dust
to dust" God will raise them as He
raises the flowers, and you will know
them as you know the floral beauties.
If you can say confidently, "this is
my flower" how much more confident
ly will you say, "this is my mother
this is my father; this is my precious
child; this is my baby brother who
went away and left us sad" But if
the flowers be so much more beautiful
when God has touched them and they
stand in resurrection-life, how much
more glorious shall our loved ones be
when we see them in resurrection
beauty and life?
This IS the sowing time. Young and
old, parents and children; all before
me are but handful of seed in the
hand OF the great sower. We shall
be Sown broadcast over the earth; one
here, another there. shall sleep in
one place and you in another. Fam
lilies sleep in separate kingdom
Oceans beat between the graves which
are filed from the home circle.
But we shall not be forgot en-. The
time will come when no loved one will
be living to bring the floral offering to
your grave; but God will not forget.
Abel'S grave in the sand is as fresh to
God as that OF the little child where
the unused toys have lain but a night.
We make our resurrection life.
Character made here is immortal.
Tell me how men live and look in time.
and will tell you how they will look
and live in eternity. Heaven never
retrogrades, He'll never advances.

County

Tho announcement or Mrs. Mary
F. Denny. as a candidate Tor the
Democratic nomination FOR County
Trustee which appears in another
column is the first announcement ev-
er made by a woman for county Of
flee in Putnam County and will
doubtless be read with passing inte-
rest by hundreds and thousands OF
voters.
Mrs. Denny was born and reared
in Cookeville. She belongs to one OF
the county's best and most promi-
nent families, being the daughter OF
the late Capt. J. H. Curtiss, Con-
federate soldier, who by the way, was
the first Democrat elected to Office
here after the war, and served two
terms as Circuit Court Clerk, maxi
ing a most popular official. He was
man who deserved and possessed
tie full confidence of the people, and
was recognized leader n his day.
Mrs. Denny has been employed for
the past six years in positions of pub
lie trust and has proven herself to be
most trustworthy and capable. She
held responsible position in the
Cookeviile post Office for two and
one-half years, leaving that position
in 1917 on account of the Office be-
ing placed under civil service, the
rules of which prohibit a married
woman from qualifying. From 1917

of City Clerk Of Cookeyille, making a
most obliging and efficient official;
for the past year she has been pri-
vate secretary to the President OF
the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute,
and it is only after earnest and con-
tinuous solicitations from friends
thruout the county that she has been
persuaded to, make the race for the
Democratic nomination for Trustee.
Cookeville has no more deserving
or praiseworthy citizen than Mrs. f
Denny, who has by her own labor,
supported and cared for an invalid
husband for the past ten years, and
one son, who is still In school She
IS thoroughly capable OF filling the
office to which she aspires with credit
% herself and county, and that sha
will, if nominated and elected, make
/ most efficient, as we'll as genfaf
Ind popular official is the concensus
# opinion, as expressed by her many
riends. She respectfully solicits
md will appreciate the votes and in
luence of all voters VITO can consci.
ntiously espouse her cause, and ex-
'ects to make as thorough a canvass
4 the county as possible, but Of
curse will depend on her friends to.
ssist her in the race.

WHERE ARE We
DRIFTIN TO?

A town the size of Cookeville with
out some kind of commercial organi.
cation is like ship without rudder
Organization is necessary even to
accept things of value when they are
offered, to say nothing of having to
80 after them. What in the world
is the matter with us, anyway? Shall
we depend on one or two, or perhaps
half dozen enterprising business
men to initiate and carry out all
moves of commercial and civic i'm
portance and then stand by to criti-
cize of things 20 not pan out just as
they should have done had there been
an organized effort put forth in be-
half of the town to carry them to a.
successful coDsummation?
II we are asleep it is time to wake
up, or, if we are SO engrossed in our
own personal business affairs that
we have not seen the necessity OF
concerted and unanimous action,
then it is high time we were brought
to realization Of the true status of
affairs and to our duty to our home
town and to our fellowman. We cam
double Cookeville's population with.
in the next five years and quadruple
her wealth, il we will but bestir our.
selves and give the glad hand Of well
come on the halfway ground to the
opportunities now looking our way.
In order to do this as 1t should be
done, we MUST have an organization
made UP Of the varied business inte-
rests of the town, and we MUST lay
aside prejudices of every kind and
II We all pull together we
will win in the commercial tug OF
war which is now on, If we allow pet
" jealousies and prejudices to step
N between us and OUT own interests
hen we can but give up 40 a defeat
init, for no other reason but that

Who will start the ball rolling to-
ward the goal Of permanent organi-
'ation for Cookeville's business inte-

USED MUCH EXPLOSIVE.
Figures Show 10000 pounds
of Explosive Used in Villas
County This Season.

According to figures furnished
the Villas County News by o. f.
Gibson, county agriculturalist.
who has been working with the
land clearing department this
year in the county, over 10000
pounds of explosives have been
used by farmers in clearing land.
This amount does not cover the
explosives bought independently
of the land clearing department.
If 1t did, the amount would reach
over 10000 pounds easily.
While this is not a very great
amount TO extremely large coun-
ties who have created land clear
ing upon a big scale, and which
is financed by popular subscrip-
ton or by land companies, it
speaks of the wonderful incentive
which the farmers of Villas county
have created in sytematic clear
ing of land. And it means that
several hundreds of acres are
now free from stumps and will
become productive acres next year
and assist in eliminating an ex-
cessive tax on non-productive
land.
When the county started a land
clearing association a year or so
ago. many scoffed at the idea.
Said it would never amount TO
anything. That it has proven to
be more than even the most opti-
unsteady inclined expected, is
shown by facts as given above.
The one big thing is co-opera-
tion. Add to that the benefits
which the man with stump land
is receiving from the state land
and you have the nue.
leus for a perfect foundation in
more cleared land each year.
More cleared land means more
productive acres; more productive
acres means more money in the
bank. Can't get away from it.
More productive acres also means
a better showing at the county
fair Of what Villas county will
produce if given half a chance.

HE DISCOVERED STILL
Highway Contractor w. H.
Bent Discovered Camp
Cook Was Making Shine"
in Cook House.

Having occasion to enter the
cook house in his road camp last
week one day w. H. Bent, high
way contractor, discovered that
his cook was manufacturing a
fine brand of moonshine and do
ing it while cooking for Mr..
Bents crew of road builders. 1t
was done so openly on the cook
stove that had the cook not pur-
chased a big supply of yeast cakes
from Laona, causing an investi-
cation by Mr.. Bent he would not
have known that a "hOotch plant
was in active operation.
When asked by Eber Lyons if
the cook purchased his own yeast
cakes in such large amounts, MIR.
Bent started an investigation, re-
sulting in his finding a big ket-
tie of mash in the making. There
was a cleanup Immediately and
the cook and his wife have flown
to pastures new. Mr.. Bent has
been working all summer on a
big road contract a few miles out
from Laona on highways 1882,
and has had a man and wife from
Iron River cooking for the crew.
The purchase of the yeast expos
ed the moonshiners. Where they
have gone is not known by the
road crew, as their leaving was
very quickly done after being
discovered.
